GMMTV Lineup 2025- “Riding the Wave”
As expected, GMMTV’s Lineup 2025 was a sumptuous affair with new pairings added, older pairings getting new shows and some surprise additions that might shock you. The most shocking aspect being the launch of 20 new series, out which seventeen are BL series, two are GL series & only one heterosexual romance. With same sex marriage being legalized in January, 2025; GMMTV is betting on the popularity of queer productions. This lineup could very well chart their priorities in near future. Apart from some remaining projects from the 2024 Lineup (Thame – Po (13 Dec 2024), My Golden Blood, Ossan’s Love Thailand, Revamp The Undead Story, Sweet Tooth Good Dentist, The Ex-Morning), we have19 shows to dissect, so let’s get moving!

“My Damn Business” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)
This short but unsullied movie, broken into 7 episodes, is surprisingly effective and very entertaining. While a few cringe worthy scenarios brought it down a few notches, there is one big framework that catapults it back up into the stratosphere, making it exceptionally rare for a KBL. This is an obviously low-budget production that has essentially two main characters and only a smattering of other characters. Thus, it is character driven.

“Eccentric Romance” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)
Eccentric Romance starts strong, quickly grabbing attention with its intriguing mix of romance and mystery. The first episode set a thrilling tone, opening with a murder scene that transitions seamlessly into the lighthearted friendship between Jay (Save Saisawat) and Seong Hun (Yoon Jun Won). The initial chemistry between the two leads creates an intimacy that anchors the series, even as the alternating language shifts occasionally feel awkward. However, despite its promising setup, the series quickly loses focus.

“Reverse 4 You” Series Review (Ep.4 to 8)
“Reverse 4 You” is an interesting take on “star-crossed lovers” who have to overcome their fate and find a way to be together, not just with each other, but with their loved ones. I believe that the show would have benefitted from telling stories of Jattawa (Mae Methakarn Anektanasuwan), Vivi (Manao Natnicha Polsombat) and Four’s (Christine Gulasatree Michalsky) past and/or alternative lives to drive the story and add tension, instead of following just one timeline, because it left the ending feeling too rushed and the pay off was lacking because some crucial things were not explained or dealt with. With enough care and thought, this could have been a very compelling series, but it because boring very quickly due to the writers focusing on all the wrong aspects of it.
“Fangs of Fortune” Series Review (Ep.1 to 32)
Guo Jing Ming’s projects are always fraught with homoerotic tones; starting from Painted Skin: The Guo Jingming Edition, Wuliang, L.O.R.D 1, L.O.R.D 2, The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity and the recently concluded Fangs of Fortune, all stand testament to his amazing prowess to pass Chinese censorship.
