We got some piping hot news pouring from close quarters, unexpected ouster of a renowned adaptation that is set to premiere soon. While the queer community is eagerly awaiting the show’s release, it was stuck by traditional conservatives. Apart from that, we also have updates about some of the most anticipated dramas in 2024!
Sharing the “Addiction for Love” with Director Yuan Danop
Breaking through stereotypes seems to be Director Yuan Danop’s favorite pastime. Recently in news for his Thai remake of the Chinese BL adaptation “Addicted Heroin”, Mr. Danop had a careful consideration in mind while recreating the original which was widely popularized because of its sexual undertones. There were mixed responses; while some applauded his attempt to tackle the subject with sensitivity, others were disappointed with the lack of NC content (which is fast becoming a norm in the Thai BL industry). Is breaking out of the mold a diffident procrastination? We sought answer to this question as we sat down for a thoughtful conversation with the talented filmmaker!

“Live in Love” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)
“Live in Love” follows the story of Kla (Hearth Chindanai Dechewajeekul) and Cake (Junior Chokkorn Deotrakul), two occasional streamers, who meet online by chance, and Kla falls in love at first sight with Cake, who also begins to develop feelings for him. The show is set during a pandemic, which might be to justify the online nature of the relationship (and title), however, all the pandemic related precautions are quickly disregarded. The setting of the show is quite confusing, and the online relationship could have been justified in much simpler ways, that did not need to drag in the over-played pandemic tropes that people would much rather move past. The show has a lot of redeeming qualities and started out simple and grounded, however, by episode 3, it seems to want to be more than it’s supposed to be, which is a fluffy comfort BL.
