The mechanics of how certain Gmmtv cps work is fascinating to me.
Pond Phuwin are living mostly off their looks at this point not acting talent. Their acting and the half baked plot is why NLMG didn’t work for me overall. Perth and Chimon are better actors but they have no romantic chemistry and that became clear in Dangerous Romance.
PondPhuwin don’t deserve a better show so I’m fine with them getting stale projects like We Are The Series. In fact it’s a positive that it’s an ensemble show.
But I’m curious what the other cps are offered in Gmmtv 2024 part 2 line up. That’s an indication to me on how the company views them.
Anon, what do you mean with the last sentence: "That’s an indication to me on how the company views them"?
But I agree with your first point. GMMTV pairs are definitely promoted (and subsequently given work) in proportion to the their visuals rather than talent (and obviously ability to generate revenue). We saw it with BrightWin, and we're seeing it now with other pairs.
Taking away the talent conversation for a second, it is annoying that GMMTV keeps pushing the same few pairs with NO variety. JoongDunk, ForceBook, OffGun, etc. will have a new BL every year damn near, but EarthMix, for example have long gaps. Then you have some talent that never gets casted in a lead role in a BL before they leave (like Fluke Pusit).
But there are some anomalies like Gun, First, and (from what I've seen), Fourth, who are all very talented and relatively well-promoted. It took some years for it to happen with First, but since he's been in an established pair, I feel like his pair and his talent is now being pushed. And now we have newcomers like Inn Sarin who was really good in The Miracle of Teddy Bear, and more established actors like Tay reviving their ships and improving with every new release. So, this gives me hope that maybe the tide can turn with GMMTV 2024 part 2.
I had a lot of fun today. I’ve never gotten to do something like this before. My parents usually can’t make time for me. Only Fang and Beer can make time to play with me. Thank you.
what i love about pond is he is physically incapable of looking at phuwin in any way other than “i want to be with you for the rest of my life” with the gayest expression ever.
