* Each couple have their own poster so I've added all three here. Fahlan and Sherbet are in the centre.This show was stuck in pre-production hell for over a year after it was derailed at the audition stage by the pandemic and the cast were only revealed a couple of months ago by the production company after the workshops were already underway. There's nothing more than the usual 'coming soon' being touted for the release date and I suspect (but don't know for sure) that the delays they have faced will push this show into the final quarter of the year. The author Bam Bam has already said the series will deviate from her original novels. Synopsis: Fahlan and Sherbet are two University students who have a "Friends with Benefits" relationship. Fahlan comes from a rich family, is smart and good at both sports and study. He's the ideal man that everybody dreams about... except Sherbet. He's a musician who never speaks his mind, can be callous and is afraid to fall in love. Fahlan's secret hope is to conquer Sherbet's fear and win his heart. Also falling within their orbit are Prince, who has a nice gentle demeanour and is Sherbet’s only friend. Gear, who is skilful, smart and a favourite for the girls to crush on. Ping, the most trusted friend of Fahlan who is talkative, dizzy and optimistic, and Tap, Fahlan's only other true confidant, who is sensitive and observant, and sincerely wants to help his friend achieve his wish.Here is the MyDramaList page. Note they have called the series Fahlanrak rather than Fahlanruk. Official trailer (English subs now added):

I've noticed since I made the opening entry that the 'coming soon' line at the end has now been amended to say 'coming soon 2022' so obviously they're nowhere near finished filming! Still, they're already trying to build interest by putting out some video shorts introducing the cast members. Here's the links:
EDIT - Unfortunately the English subs seem to have disappeared from these clips since they first debuted.

Looking forward to this, cause it it certainly look more explicit than most BL. I am a little concerned about deviating from the novel though. That is usually a coin toss on whether it is better or not

As this series will not debut until early next year I suspect we've got a lot of these short videos coming our way to keep us interested in the coming months. This one is Tong and Win who play the roles of Prince and Gear doing a mini Q&A about themselves and their characters:

A short video of the cast doing their first read-through. This is noted as Vlog #01 so I guess we're in for a few of these over the next few months to keep us up to date with the series progress:
There's a few hard-wired subs added onto the video for descriptive purposes but no subs for any conversations.

Is there any update on release date yet?

Vlog #02 - Second Read through Day.
I've got a feeling these vlogs will become boring very quickly as there continues to be no subs except for a few descriptive hard-wired sentences, but nothing reflecting the conversations the cast and crew are having.

After a flurry of activity around this time last year, with vlogs and other support clips being released, the series suddenly fell off the radar and appeared to be heading into has it been cancelled? territory. Even the last post on this thread was 11 months ago. Now, out of nowhere, it's suddenly upon us fully completed and with a release date: Along with the new posters comes the new trailer: The series will begin on Sunday 11th September on MCOT HD30 with a re-run on WeTV. It will get its international release (uncut version) on GagaOOLala.

GagaOOLala pageIf it doesn't, there is always the possibility that another platform might have the rights for the U.S. but I would be surprised if that were to be the case.
