Be Mine Superstar - Thailand

[antistatic]

  


Adapted to series by Quality Plus and based on the Y novel by Ofious Orpheus, this title actually translates as 'The Hero Actor and the Puppy Boy On the Pile' but has (thankfully) been renamed as 'Be Mine Superstar' for its wider release. It will star Ja Phachara as Punn and First Chalongrat as Achi with Kokliang Pirinya ('TharnType', 'Even Sun') as Diao/Single, Best Natapoj as Suea/Tiger, Wayo Peerawat as Title, Joe Kawinpat ('My Roommate') as Dr Ning, Bosston Suphadach ('UWMA','Between Us') as Ming and Phat Thanapat as Sugus. Benjamin Braiser ('2 Moons 2') will also make his long awaited return to both acting and BL in the role of Kevin. The series Director is David Bigander who previously helmed 'Bite Me'.

Synopsis: "Punn, a 3rd year film major student starts his internship working on a drama set and finds that the main actor is the popular Achi, who is a superstar and a heartthrob - and was also Punn's crush when he was at high school! He's 29 years old now and hot as hell while Punn has just turned 20 and is really shy. Can Punn's long held pipe-dream of them falling in love actually become a reality?"

Wait, they were in school together but also 9 years apart? How does that work? When Punn starts high school, Achi would already have graduated already. Or do they mean Punn was crushing on an university student?

Why does BL shows like to stuff in a "forgotten childhood friend/encounter" into their show all the time. Why can't two young man meet as adults and form a relationship without requiring some kind of convoluted childhood drama?

Aichi basically had a personality transplant once he is with Punn and nobody find that weird? Obviously, Aichi is doing it as a way to get into the role of the japanese show, but did nobody find it weird he is acting completely different?
