Another unrushed week with few announcements but some surprising updates. As May ends, and we step into the month of June, the downpour is reasonably declining with production houses mostly focusing on shows that are set to premiere next month.
Midweek Updates
Last week was rather slow, with few announcements. We don’t know if the momentum will pick up this week, but we are bringing you the scarce amount of updates that graced the social network in the last few days.
Fresh BL/GL Pairings That Are Slowly Making Their Mark- Edition I
While fan service is an integral part of the Thai BL industry, there are very few BL pairings that live upto the expectations of the avid fans. It could be attributed to the off-the-charts chemistry between them, the camaraderie they share off-screen and the stories they choose. Today, we are talking about few such onscreen BL couples that are on the rise & slowly making their mark!

“The Sign” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)
I grew up on a stable diet of Indian mythological (Ramayana & Mahabharata), both have been remade again & again with different casting. The central character that remains at the heart of both mythologies is Lord Vishnu (both Lord Ram & Lord Krishna are his reincarnations). So, when the trailer for “The Sign” was released, I was intrigued; because it had two main characters based on Indian mythology. I was surprised to say the least; Garuda is the vahana/vehicle of Lord Vishnu while Sheshanaga is his mount. Although we know about the enmity between Garuda and Nagas, their story was never properly described/depicted beyond the fact that they both serve Lord Vishnu. So, to see two divine figures from the Indian mythology in a Thai drama was quite riveting. It was only after the show started that I realised that Thais have their own myths about Garuda & Nagas. The show is hugely based in modern era, but is fantasy drama based on the age long enmity between the two demigods. In Buddhism, Garudas are enormous predatory birds with intelligence and social organisation. The Garudas have kings and cities, and some of them have the magical power of changing into human form; as can be witnessed with Phaya’s characterization. The Garuda are enemies to the nāga, a race of intelligent serpent- or dragon-like beings, whom they hunt. Nagas are believed to live in either water bodies or in caves and have different clans; as witnessed by their attire. Tharn is mostly shown wearing green clothes, which depict his noble status while Chalothorn is show wearing black clothes which signify the fact that he is a royal. “The Sign” cleverly combines these age-old mythologies with the concept of reincarnation to script a thriller that is incomparable to most modern dramas in the BL world.
