really annoying to have fans intruding into friendships/relationships of actors. mind your own business. it is not a crime to be close to your friends!

[@tinacingrani5128]

I agree with you.💯

[@crazycatchick4111]

Agreed!!!

[@killua_zoldick143]

Truth! Some fans are very delusional thinking that they have a say to whoever the artists should interact with. Their life, their decisions. 😉

[@askara9234]

So happy for Net! I wish him and JJ all the best. Hope their pairing will be very succesful!

[@kaydee3371]

When will some fans ever understand that these series and ships are ALL MAKE BELIEVE. We should enjoy them for how they make us feel in those moments we watch it but that is it. These actors have a right to happiness and we don’t get to have a say in with whom they should find it.😒🙄

[@EleeenEll]

It's understandable

[@daveg9474]

I am continually amazed at how much the so-called fans think they actually own or control the people that work so hard to bring us the entertainment we ask for. You are watching fiction. It's not real. Someone wrote a story and these folk act it out. Who they kiss, love or whatever is their business, not yours, Grow up!

[@robinpuckgoodfellow8733]

Well said Sir!

[@thomaslong7262]

It is unbelievable how toxic and out-of-touch with reality many BL fans are. The actors that portray BL characters are just that... actors. It is a testament to their acting ability if viewers think the ships in the shows are believable. However, it is fiction not reality. Intruding on actors lives and trying to force them to play along with the twisted minds of fans that have lost touch with reality is toxic and should not be encouraged with over-the-top fan meetings. The Thai BL industry has helped to create this alternate reality that many fans obsess over. The industry needs to pull back from these types of fan meetings and let actors be themselves for the fans to meet, not perpetuating the toxic atmosphere they have created.

[@suan333]

I love how Tay is so not into people's bs.

[@OnyxeBlade]

Fans who are overly obsessed with ships are so annoying. Tay and Gun did nothing wrong and I hate that Tay even had to address the nonsense. Thank you so much for this well informed review and I did not know there was such an age gap between the leads to the Thai version of "Addicted"

[@katara1610]

That one with Tay and Gun for me was too much fuss over nothing.. I feel the fans need to chill a bit with the ships.. 😌

[@mjr6495]

I am convinced Taygun have been in a relationship for at least 6 years. Taynew & Offgun are simply pairings for work.

[@katara1610]

@@mjr6495 Even if that's the case, I don't think it is something worth getting angry about.. I've read comments from fans about it and they left me speechless with the way they talked about Tay and Gun.. 😶

Who are these webtoon police who insist that a BL inspired by the webtoon must absolutely correspond exactly to the webtoon ??? What is important is the quality of a produced BL, no matter what it might have been inspired from. Let’s judge a BL on its own qualities !!!

[@Carnibee]

I think you are forgetting that the webtoon is very important to people for the themes it has. Addressing political issues? Homosexuality? Thailand only recently legalized gay marriage. Imagine someone took something that is extremely meaningful to you and changed it so it didn’t mean much anymore.

[@Kao96..]

@@Carnibee except you literally can't tell that from a simple trailer tease just as the company stated in their explanation 🙄 also there is no need to nit pick every little detail about the actors either. It's a fictional story and to demand the actors to look completely like a character from a book is pushing it too far

[@Carnibee]

@@Kao96.. …I don’t think they were demanding an exact look alike, especially since things like tattoos and height can play a part in the story. You don’t know either why those details are important and yet you’re attacking the people asking for them. Things like changing a character from barely a teen to almost an adult are major changes and could strongly affect the story. Maybe before you accuse fans of doing too much, you should first find out why it means so much to them?

[@Kao96..]

@@Carnibee I read that story like 5 times and I promise you it's not that big of a deal nor is it that crucial for a story that the visuals match to a tee and also you can't tell from a teaser if the tattoo is there or not at all and it probably will be as it does actually play a part when it comes to understanding that character. So maybe wait b4 they release anything relevant b4 you jump on a train with people who are bashing it. This way it's just coming out as ignorant and it makes it seam as if fans aren't respecting the hard work these people are putting in.

[@Carnibee]

@@Kao96.. firstly, I’m not saying people should “bash” the show. Having concerns about written-to-video adaptations is something that happens with literally every well-loved book and I don’t think that’s wrong, but I’m not saying people should be saying the show is bad altogether. But… how is the pilot not relevant? Don’t people normally judge whether or not they will watch a show by the pilot? Why should anyone assume the show will be different than what the pilot is showing? It’s literally like making a commercial for a red convertible and then finding out it’s an orange minivan. Should people say “well I can’t complain, at least it’s a car like they promised”?

[@Q2neptune13]

I thought it was weird that the "fans" were criticizing the actor's looks about a series that talks about beauty standards.

[@wendybeerens2976]

Thanks for this video. I'm a big BL fan and live in Belgium. As a result, I don't really hear any news behind the scenes. It's always nice to hear more from our guys. Can we hope that you can do this regularly?

[@Rikajael]

Shipping culture is toxic and this latest upset over the Tay Gun kiss just illustrates this. Tay and Gun are long term friends. And even if they were dating, it’s none of our damn business. Their job is acting. It should not have to dictate their private lives.

[@doybunny3217]

I've been watching thai series for along time, since 2015.. Before there was a lot of international fan, the industry was very chill and the actors were living their life in a carefree manner.. but now with the rise of bl, there have been many international fan making a lot of complains and controversy.. please leave thai industry alone.. let them chill and be in their true colors.. don't bring the kpop hate vibe here... I love Bl and also the rest of the other genre, please international fans don't come and spread negativity.. From listening to the news from the video it saddened me to hear those small complains.

[@lauragrancea9659]

I'm so happy for Jeff!! He is so talented.. he deserves to be succesful ❤️

[@luunara7065]

The more you know... I can understand some of the concerns regarding the cast for the Supanut show and Addicted Heroin, but I liked both trailer and I'll wait what will happen next. It's always tricky when you change something from the source material, but it "can" work when there are reasons. I love Nut, he was born for such a role! xD

[@Birdin_Atree]

it's funny how everyone is saying the actors are too young to play the parts in Heroin, but like the original novel, they were still in high school, so at least the actor's ages are accurate... and also, it's acting, no ones doing the do for real, so I guess what I'm saying, if you don't like it don't watch it, but stop shitting on it altogether.

[@silvershadow529]

I think the problem is not the age but what we have seen from the original. There are sensitive scenes that minors should not be seen doing on screen. I think they could change the series, but it could also be an issue that they would stray far away from the original. I just hope that the series will be successful. I was waiting for another newjur series.

[@blureader1164]

Thanks for this video. I don't do socials, only with friends and family, so I do not get BL news.

Good video. Very informative. Thanks for the update🎉

[@Black_Heart71]

Some fans are really toxic and obsessed with their actors or their ship. But like I said: They are actors! They give us a wonderful world of BL. But it's all an illusion. There's also a reality and then these actors become men with private lives, families and friendships. Just let them be whatever they wanna be!

[@andiedoriza4578]

It is alleged so if the police did not arrest for criminal think it was a mutual dispute

[@hannaansari2921]

It was a domestic assault case genius not a mutual dispute....if your ex beats you up would you be okay with calling it a mutual dispute?and if he didn't get arrested would that mean he didn't commit that criminal act?

[@jamietkh5862]

13:10 Really enjoy ur news update on the TBL industry, albeit for some time have quite drastically reduced watching TBL productions except the rare few selected ones. Avoid watching sameoldsameold storyline premise or template using one-dimensional novice actors with poor scripting. Still hopeful ChaiJidan's 2016 endearing Addicted series could have its continuation via Taiwan productions. In fact, that was implied by CJ back then after PRC crackdown on the series. Unfortunately CJ was also quietly 'punished' and suppressed by the powers there prohibiting her frm involving producing BL series. She seems to have disappeared since or low-profile. For Thailand bl producers to undertake the series it'll be a humongous task bc the global phenomenon and brand image of the series including character casts are indelibly burnt into its ardent fan psyché. With rare exceptions, many Thai scriptwriters produce mediocre if not poor scripts. Coupled with inexperience young actors it's gonna be disastrous to try live up to Addicted fans high expectations, putting head on the chopping board! Addicted series global fans might have difficulties trying to fit in image acceptance of the 2 iconic actors Timmy/Johnny - believe it's gonna be a wide-gap miss-match issue. Hoping soon one day ChaiJidan, original created of Addicted would be given freedom to go to Taiwan to pursue completing the series as she originally envisioned it. Having finished till it's end reading the novel, it'll be very challenging for anyone taking up the gauntlet to finish the iconic frm initially tragic to ever-after happy ending of the love saga of BaiLuoYin and GuHai! Strangely, the short-lived drama was a phenomenal success catapulting the actors to unprecedented stardom frm China to Paris, France! Since 2016 achingly missing both characters though recent attempts to readapt it with a heart-warming series Stay With Me somehow managed to heal the longing of the original one. SWM series have fantastic potential to create a continuation of the original and achieved fans' acceptance. SWM 1st part series got Addicted fan's attention and praises. At this moment there's a long pause of SWM next chapter but probably producers b.t.s quietly are getting towards doing them. They need to be cautious. But a total remake in Taiwan could stick to the original novel storyline sans censorship. Praying hard! Still listen to Addicted's 2 main OST & theme songs by Timmy& Johnny kept in personal song listplay!😔🙏

[@robinpuckgoodfellow8733]

I am very surprised there was no mention of the disappearance of Chimon. He was not seen for many weeks, and missed an important company event. Only explanations were a vague "health issues" statement from the company, and Chimon's Instagram page showing photos obviously taken during a long stay in hospital. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HAPPENED? IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE CONCERNED, BUT NOT KNOW HOW SERIOUS SOMETHING IS ...💁‍♂

[@matthewjay660]

IF Tay and Gun are romantically involved, THEN I could not be happier for them. Grab and latch on to love whenever, wherever you find it. Pride! ✊🏻🏳️‍🌈

[@kinuuni]

First, just leave Tay and Gun alone. Even IF they are dating, they should be allowed to. New has had girlfriends during his acting career and while being paired with Tay. Why is this different? Secondly, I had just gotten used to not having to see Pawin's annoying face as a minor character in every damn show and now he is coming back? Even disregarding the allegations - which, a settlement, really? No, just no - I would have been happy to see him go.

I thought off gun was dating 🤔 I dont know current new about thai actors . Is it true or not ??

[@Furrina89]

@@whysoserious1023 off and gun are not dating. GMMTV and esp the Thai BL industry makes the actors who did bls together to pretend to be real couples as a marketing strategy. It's called "fan service". Most of the bl actors are not even gay, they are just doing a job. Some are gay, like Inn from Wandee Goodday, who has a non-celeb male partner. Arm and Porsche who played Ai's parents in Ai Long Nhai are a real couple (they even have their own youtube channel). Off and Gun are just very good friends and have been costars for a long time (did 4 bls so far, plus lots of other shows). So, they have to do a lot of fanservice as well. As far as we know, Off is single and presumably straight. Gun may (or may not) be dating Tay Tawan.

[@whysoserious1023]

@@Furrina89oh so they are not dating , yeah I know fan services and Inn has partner great 👍. Thanks ❤️

[@Liz285]

Honestly, Tay and Gun can date or not or change ships anytime they and if they want. It doesn't bother me. I love them for making amazing series and movies. What they do have nothing to do with me as a fan. I wish other fans should have this mental capacity too. You as a fan can't forbid the actors to be friends with whomever they want to and you can't forbid them to date whomever they want to. Yes, you can be disappointed, but it's not your life. It's their's. I was disappointed when Bright Vachirawit and Win Metawin started together in "F4 Thailand" and started to have other ship partners. Ships that I loved were OhmFluke and KaoEarth. They got broken too, because each actor played in other series with new partners. I was upset, but I accepted it. It's their work. You can't just be angry when they are just doing their work. There will be a time when things should change. Like the actors having relationships with either each other or someone else in real life. Please respect them and their privacy.

[@monsoleil5884]

I love TayGun’s friendship and if they are really dating good for them. These are grown men and they have a right to their privacy and happiness in life. Thailand has done a really good job with their adaptations (at least the ones I’ve seen) so I was excited to see the Heroin pilot… BUT casting a minor for one of the ML is a no for me.

[@melapredan6208]

GUN is one of the most beloved and admired member in the company..Everytime they ask an actor with whom he wants to work if ... they say GUN and praise his talent, kindness, cuteness, work ethic, coolnessm experience ... GUN is a star above the stars, even close series couples are cuddling with GUN (Live House, Games, Events...) He is the idol for his colleagues. But we will never ever know who, why, when, is dating cause we dont know who of them have allready a relationship and nobody extern knows who of the 10% gay actors is single. This generation of global viewers is a generation of singles and censorship and doesnt understand how entertainment works. And how south-east asian society works. these cultures are physically closer with friends than US americans or north-europeans... The Thai BL industry strategy offers the fastest entry for young actors cause others are too old to fit in the boy-characters. They dont romantically date, they work hard and hang up together cause the contracts dont allow love relationships cause of that issues with fans and partners emotional blackmailing. They are mostly lonesome...

[@user-lc1bz1kk5c]

It is very difficult to become a force actor. If a normal actor gets a date or a relationship then there is no problem for a person, but if the same person becomes a force actor then I don't know what happens to the fans.

[@Fujoshi13]

It's really concerning to have fan who think that they have the power to tell the actors and productions what to do and how to do their series. Tay and Gun. Seriously who cares? Those fans can't make the difference between fake and reality? The actors are not their properties. It is toxic and one day I'm afraid it will become dangerous. No one has a right one some else private life. I'm really worried about Thai BL industry. Also about Addicted. Who cares? No one should know the age of the actors and comments on it. It's not the fans business. Let's just watch the show and enjoy the series.

[@hautothautot6359]

tay gun no they don't go together after all it doesn't matter to them but tay is so cute

If it’s a true romantic relationship for TayGun I’m happy for them. I love them both if it’s just friendship it’s still okay, fans need to get out their feelings, people have lives they’re adults. Get over it!

[@suan333]

As someone who is reading "The most beautiful count", i also think that the adaptation is not gonna be very good. Not because of the cast's physique, but because Kosol being an ML was not really confirmed by the author themselves due to Kosol's personality, ambitions, etc. And i think adapting a series that is currently ongoing is not a good choice. Edit: i want to add that yes, the comic talks about very serious topics and it's a lot about politics, so i didn't get a great feeling with the trailer which portrayed it as a rom-com.

[@paulabenvinda]

Thai addicted: if Augst was one of the teatchers and all the actors how play the students were 18 I would see the series- But 16-27 it's a please cast Mac in another series because I bet he's a very good actor.

São duas as séries que estou a aguardar com muita antecipação: Ossan's love (thai adaptation) e I'm the most beautiful count. Fiquei muito surpreendida ao escutar que a segunda tem críticas negativas pois, pessoalmente quase só encontro coisas positivas (o negativo é não poder vê-la tão cedo). Adorei a forma como Supanut interpreta o Prince e o Woradet; o Ping fica sempre muito bem a seu lado e como normalmente não separam as ships, e houve um certo desconsolo por não terem ficado juntos em Pit Babe, é de crer que seja este o par final. O facto das críticas serem sobretudo por os atores serem diferentes dos personagens desenhados... não me parece importante para o desenrolar da história desde que interpretem muito bem os seus personagens e a própria Change disse que o pilot é diferente da série e, quanto a isso: não posso dar opinião nenhuma sobre o assunto pois não li o original. Apenas acho que essa será uma opção de quem adaptar o original à série e o facto é que só nessa altura é que se saberá se está assim tão diferente ou não. Pessoalmente continuo a desejar imenso que a façam e ponham no ar ainda na primeira metade do próximo ano.

[@weRarmy_weRBL]

To those criticizing Tay and Gun... just grow up you psycos! You're the worst kind of fans... they deserve their own privacy and the basic human right to be happy. If happiness for them is kissing as boyfriends or just good friends, good for them and keep at it. Boundaries and respect are basics that those so called fans need to learn like pronto. With regard to the thai version of Addicted, no, I will not watch it. Don't care if the minimum age is 15 in Thailand (which is crazy btw) it's just wrong. And even disregarding that, they are just the wrong choice (nothing personal). The book description is very clear and these guys are just not suitable for this particular role. It makes me cringe when I think of some of the scenes of the original series being portrayed by kids... and adults that look like kids... yikes!

[@chaosgremlin4527]

Actors are allowed to have relationships outside their professional ships. If Tay and Gun are involved romantically, good for them.

too many critics who too little. Maybe they should get a life and mind their own business. What ends up on video is that company's interpretation of the original work. So shut up about your opinion of 'wonderful count' before you've seen it, and 'addicted' too. Too many adolescents in the critics box - with no life knowledge at all.
