Early last year, Hanyang Studio the Korean company who had co-produced 'Peach of Time' in 2021, announced they would be collaborating on three new BL's under the general name 'Y Evolution 2023 project', and that all three shows would once again feature a combined Thai and Korean cast. 'Eccentric Romance' was the first title to be made public, this was the second and the more recently announced 'Wuju Bakery' starring JeffBarcode was the third. This one stars Mew Suppasit in his first BL since 'TharnType 2: 7 Years of Love' and Lee Geonwoo (aka Geonu) from K pop group JUST B, as Piuno and Gi-Min. Support comes from, Chu Jimin (aka JM), also from JUST B as Dae Byeol, and Kim Kyoung Seok as Jun Hyeuk. The director is Kwon Nam Ki.

Synopsis: "Piuno is a new, but already widely recognised star who is nicknamed 'Mr Cat (Cat Prince)' due to his cool and sober image. In his past he had a traumatic experience with dogs resulting in him developing an anxiety and fear of them. When he inadvertently ends up being assigned to appear on a reality show set in an Animal Nursery alongside fellow co-workers Dae-Byeol, Gi-Min, and veterinary hospital director Jun-Hyeok, he is forced to face up to his phobia head on which causes a farrago of conflict, friendship, understanding and romance."

It's been quite a while since we've heard anything about this series. Completed more than a year ago, it (along with another completed BL, 'Eccentric Romance') got caught up in some BTS internal problems of its production company which meant they couldn't be released due to an ongoing regulatory process for resolving rights issues. In July, an open letter from the company, Hanyang Studio, assured fans that 'Love Is Like A Cat', 'Eccentric Romance' and 'Wuju Bakery' (the other title affected by the process) had not been forgotten about and would be released as soon as possible.

Now, at last, Hanyang have started promoting the show again with multiple promotional posters and an update to say the drama will have twelve episodes of fifteen minutes duration. No release date for this series was announced, although they did confirm that 'Wuju Bakery' will get a March premiere.

Here's a few of the posters:
