Hey guys! It's pretty hard to believe it's been 4 years since 'My Engineer', the first ever show I acted in, was on air. I thought it'd be fun to reminisce about the good old days and share some stories that you may have never heard before about the production and shooting process of 'My Engineer'. I also talk about what it was like playing the character 'Ram' and also what life was like after MyEn finished.

[@thethingcalledlisa]

There's something really funny about someone lowkey imagining a fanfic about two characters portrayed by him and one of his closests friends (it also sounds like a bl plot by itself but that's for another day - someone please cast Perth in a show with that as a premise as main character, we need main character Perth as much as possible)

I've always felt the same about Ram and King being an underrated couple. Perth you should make your own company and make My Engenieer season 2 😂😭💕 you're so good woth storyline. Also I feel (not to bash anyone but ) most shows coming out now are just filled with toxic storyline. They're good but I also wanna see something wholesome and I haven't seen that at all in recent times.

[@yokonamigaara]

If you have any interest in GLs, 23.5 has been delightfully sweet and wholesome

[@gggthsb]

I wouldn't say toxic, because I think overall tghe industry is a lot better with things like consent and stuff (at least a lot of them, there are obviously always some that are not) but yeah wholesome seems not to be 'in' right now. Lots of gangster, mafia and action stuff at the moment, not so much cutesy and wholesome.

To be honest, I'm shocked at how fast time flies. when I first watched "my engineer" I was 14, and this year I'm 19. I'm very sad that we won't get a second season, but I'm incredibly happy that I can watch your and Talay’s videos and streams, and I don't think I've ever felt so close to any blogger. It's so cozy. as for the RamKing, I think this is the most wonderful love line among all the series that I've seen, but if things could take a turn for the worse in the second season, then maybe his absence is for the best. Thank you Perth, with love from Russia upd: omg guys I have never received so many likes on my comment thank you😭

[@thatfanboyavery]

I agree that RamKing are incredibly underrated, Thara and Frong were also a massive breath of fresh air in bl's. Their disagreements weren't directly about the relationship, and the growth (across most characters) in particular was what got me back into bl's. I was looking forward to a second season not only for RamKing to have a happy ending, but for Thara and Frong to grow a little more

[@nikilodion8343]

Perth is the reason why I watched my engineer cause Ram looked so interesting, and RamKing is the reason why I kept watching, and rewatching the series. They were literally one of the iconic side couple syndrome, and I hoped for more of them when the series ended. Even though I'm not disappointed, I would love to watch them together again, no matter the story, cause I know Perth and Talay would do a great job.

[@veeva99]

"RamKing is one of the most underrated ships of all time." Say it louder for the people in the back I watched My Engineer after years of already watching BL. My very first was Love Sick the series, right when S2 just started airing. And you're completely right about there being too many shows to keep up with nowadays. It's 4 years after My Engineer aired (which to me sounds crazy, like I was still doing my very first internship at the time and now I've just finished college) but even now it's one of my favorites to rewatch. A big part of that is RamKing, but I also just truly adore the cast and the story. Anyways, thank you Perth for keeping the show a little bit alive!

[@sailormoontvstar]

Ram King is the purest ship ever I really wanted to see their story continuing 😭😭😭😭

[@lavenderl1255]

actually perth's detective idea for ramking sounds better than most bl premises LMFAO

[@iskah8551]

I think thats why I respect YinWar because they are good friends and they make it clear that they do what's comfortable for them during fan meets. So I respect how you and Talay approached fan service. 😊

[@KanoTsukiko]

RamKing is what keeps the universe going. No one can change my mind

[@kyokowalter3849]

[@karakask5488]

There were a few series that we were promised second seasons for, and that we really, really wanted. But never got. My Engineer is definitely on that list.

[@luunara7065]

Every time I hear about "My Engineer" RamKing is the main theme and that people want to see more of them. You can be proud of your work!

[@Pad929]

Perth, your ideas suggest that RamKing may not have seen each other after the last sad scene in My Engineer, but if you want to have them apart for a while, how about having Ram return after spending some years with his mother's family? Maybe even being stuck there because of the COVID flight restrictions. Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@gogakushayemi]

My international crew is weirdly hype about Lay being at Thai Fes with Perth MCing. lol

[@danaeads919]

I liked Ryan's character and it was obvious what a challenge he had, but he did a great job. I wish that he had continued acting. I would still like to see My Engineer 2 but, of course, it would have to take place after everyone has graduated college but it could still work.

[@jlprizm]

I think he did a great job as well. Beside the language issue his expressions really conveyed the feelings. Apart from RamKing MekBoss were my other favorite couple.

[@szeyingong7379]

17:41 ayeee I miss him so much :( and yeah it was crazy how he and Inn managed to have such incredible chemistry and pull off all their scenes when they couldn't talk to each other and discuss how they wanted their scenes to play out

[@ravere215]

Love the throwback memories with Talay and your actor perspective on Ram Perth~

[@Hiyho-ss4yo]

The thing about RamKing is that they were interesting characters in their own right. They had distinct personalities and interests. To this day, I still think King is one of the most interesting characters from a BL series. I would absolutely watch an older version of RamKing if the story was right.

[@TheGuineababy]

Being autistic, I understood Ram more than I had expected and so I've watched it several times. I was grateful for how it ended because it made me feel like even though S2 didn't come, it felt like all the ends were wrapped up. 30 is better than the alternative, eh? I turned 40 last year and it's just a level up. 😂

[@teeleaf9252]

[@sirblsalot]

24:20 It is super true, I did watch My Engineer because I stumbled upon it while stuck at home during covid and my oh my was I in for a ride. My Engineer was my first thai BL and honestly a turning point and a core experience in my life, a stepping stone for all the other tonnes of BLs I will start watching from then on, but GOD did RamKing have such a big hold on me. Till this day, many years and many BLs later, I will still say, RamKing is my best and most favorite couple! You and Talay played RamKing so well! And I love you guys so much :')

[@kimberleeautumn19]

Not gonna lie Perth, NordVPN has let me watch so many country restricted BLs 😂

My Engineer was the first ever BL i had ever watched and it's always gonna have a special place in my heart!! There are times i actually go back and re-watch the whole thing!! If there was ever going to be a s2 i would 1000% watch it

[@BandGeekSquadron]

As someone who is a year older than you, and had that exact same reaction to saying the words "I'm turning 30", I hope you (and anyone else who needs to hear it) will take these words as encouragement: It's okay, the world doesn't really notice. I mean that to be as supportive as possible - we, as people, can make a huge deal about the number of an age. But, at the end of the day, your time is still yours and as long as you're happy with what you're doing with it, then let's go! But, if anyone isn't content with what they're doing with their time - it's also not too late to try something new. Hell, I went back to school for a master's degree when I turned 30, because I wasn't happy with my job. Do I feel old around all these young whippersnappers? Yeah, sometimes. I'm also really excited about going to class and learning about a topic I actually find interesting, which you couldn't convince college/university-me to even fake it for one class back then. Perth, thanks for spending the time that you do with us. I'm happy to hear that you and Talay have remained good friends throughout the years. I feel like my biggest takeaway whenever I finish a BL series is always along the lines of "I hope they had fun shooting it", because I would like the actors (such as yourself) to continue working in this industry so that I can continue admiring their talents. However, I'm also aware that this industry is really tough, so if you can walk away with an addition to your support system, I'm relieved. Best of luck to you on whatever you're pursuing next!

[@tdpay9015]

One nice touch was the thunderstorm in the middle of Episode 11, which reflected the inner turmoil of Ram and Boss, and led to breakthroughs in their relationships. Using nature to mirror the characters' feelings is very Shakespearean, as was the comic relief of the two drunks met by you and the dogs.

[@thesaddleclubrules09]

Ram King will forever have my heart no matter what You and Talay are such a dynamic duo 🥹

[@epicskyline]

I really appreciate how much respect and affection you have for My Engineer, even all of these years later.

I'm happy to remember about My Engineer, and learn more about your process for getting the Ram's character, because I started following you because of that character (and because you were the only one speaking a language I could sort of understand, rs. but I stayed for your sincere and fun personality, I swear).

[@mgreengr]

Since I watched the show as a fairly critical adult, I can say that your nervousness didn't show at all. Or rather, it worked perfectly for your character, so any nervous signs I saw were read as social anxiety on the part of Ram. I was definitely in a period of watching just about any BL I could get my fingers on and My Engineer was one that I enjoyed more than most. It definitely made the beginning of quarantine a bit brighter for me and I love hearing behind-the-scenes stuff, so thank you!
