It took place today. 14 dramas were announced. It’s obvious that with that amount a lot of them won’t air this year.

I was watching live and writing down my first impressions. It got long, so to spare those not interested it goes behind the cut.


There are links to all presented pilot trailers and a few lines with my thoughts about each drama here.Ossan's Love

Thai version of a Japanese drama with EarthMix – no, absolutely not. Too much cringy humor for me.

Leap Day

Not BL or GL, but looks interesting. It’s a supernatural thriller, I think. And Gun’s in it. He’s Pond’s little brother in this one, and probably autistic? Maybe I will be watching, I’m not sure yet.

The Heart Killers

FirsKhaotung and JoongDunk in one BL, directed by Jojo Tichakorn. Rom com + crime drama. Looks good. It will be entertaining, and funny and sexy for sure. I’m in.

Friendshit Forever

Not BL or GL. It has New as a bad guy? Sort of? He looks good, and I’m so curious to see him in a role other than his usual sweet, awkward, nerdy guy. Main actors are Mook, New, Pat and Boun, and it looks a bit like Dangerous Liaisons sort of plot. That’s a maybe for me. We’ll see. Funny thing is that it really looks like GL for a moment there in the beginning, and I would be much more interested if it was GL.

Perfect 10 Liners

ForceBook’s new drama, yay!!! With PerthChimon and JuniorMark, too. Junior and Mark were perfect in Cherry Magic, so I’m ecstatic to have them coupled in a new drama again. It’s another university BL, but I don’t care because Force and Book look good and are adorable and hot together. I’m very happy and can’t wait for this one.

But wait, MarcPoon and AuoBoom are in this one, too? They weren’t in the trailer, but they were announced later on stage. And so many other actors. I wondered how long it would have to be to give all of them something to do, but they later announced that it would be made into 3 dramas with 10 episodes each, connected to each other by characters from one drama guest starring in the other two.

Us

GL finally. And it looks good, mature and a bit angsty, but hopefully with a happy ending. I’m not familiar with both lead actresses Emi and Bonnie, never saw them in anything else before. But they look great together. I’m definitely in.

Hide & Sis

Not BL or GL. Angst, drama, dysfunctional family and a murder mystery, gives me OTT lakorn vibes, and it has a lot of familiar actors and actresses, but eh, I’m not interested.

Thame - Po Heart That Skips A Beat

BL about idols with a new CP EstWilliam, like a lot of people predicted. I loved Est in Naughty Babe where he had a supporting part, so it’s great to see him as a lead here. And they have great chemistry, so I’m in.

Break Up Service

Off in a het drama, ehh not interested.

Revamp The Undead Story

It was Wabi Sabi’s The Vampire Project before. Now Boum and Prem are with GMMTV and their drama, too. It’s vampire BL, so of course I will check it out.

Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist

A romantic comedy BL with a stupid title, and seems like a very silly, even if also a very sweet, show. But MarkOhm, yay!!!! I wouldn’t watch it if not for them. But I’m dying to see them as a couple, so I’m willing to watch even such a silly comedy as this one.

The Dark Dice

Not BL or GL, with Jumanji vibes, plus Squid Game vibes, too – a few students get transferred into a game when they have to fight to survive. Gemini is one of the leads. But eh, no, that one is not for me.

The Ex-Morning

KristSingto in a new BL drama about exes who reconnect a few years after a bad break-up. I was never into them as a couple, and the plot doesn’t look very tempting to me, so I probably won’t be watching that one.

Scarlet Heart Thailand

It’s a remake of kdrama Scarlet Heart Ryeo (or maybe of Chinese novel kdrama was based on, it wasn’t clear) about a girl who travels back in time and gets entangled with the royal family. From what I heard about Scarlet Heart Ryeo there will be angst and tears and death. But the actors, ahhh, so many actors I like – Nanon, Fourth, Phuwin, Force, Perth, Tay... I think that for them I will be watching this one, too.
