Hello! Do you track actors who switch from Seme to Uke roles in different series, or vice versa? If so, question: In Chains of Heart (which I can't believe I was able to get through), Haii plays Ken, who I'm assuming is the Uke. He was a (tsundere?) Seme in TharnType 2, no? And his partner on screen there, Title, wasn't he just playing a Seme as Ana's ex in Future, different from his childlike Uke in TharnType2? Did they both switch roles in different series or did I just get that all wrong (very possible). How common is this besides the guy from Advance Bravely?

Actors who have played both seme & uke in BL?

I don't really track it but I do find it unique and interesting. Lemme scrape the brain meats.

You are right they are really rare but Thailand is making inroads as they move off of an obsession with height discrepancy, so there are more than you think.

This is what I got off the top of my head:

Gong Jun - Advance Bravely (U) & Word of Honor (S)

Ba Vinh - Love Bill (U) & Mr Cinderella (U?) vs every other of his 1000 series (S) - thanks @squeakygeeky

Tay Tawan - Dark Blue Kiss (S) & 3 Will Be Free (U)

Haii Sarunsathorn - TharnType 2 (S) & Chains of Heart (U)

Title Tanatorn - TharnType 2 (U) & Future (S)

Marc Pahun - My Gear and Your Gown (S) & Chains of Heart (U), also played a BL side role in 3 BLs airing at the same time.

White Nawat - Love Sick (S) & Theory of Love (U)

Nammon Krittanai - SOTUS S (U) & Work From Heart (S)

Singto Prachaya - SOTUS (S) & Paint with Love (U)

Yacht Patsit - Between Us (S) & Paint with Love (U)

Mark Siwat - Love By Chance (S) & Bite Me (U)

Fiat Patchata - SOTUS S (U) & My Gear and Your Gown (S)

Han Gi Chan - Where Your Eyes Linger (U) & Ocean Likes Me (S)

Haii & Title are the only ones I know of who are a pair both of whom also played opposite archetypes.

Aun Napat shifts from seme to uke in the course of My Gear and Your Gown. Arguably.

A case could be made?

First Kanaphan - depends how you look at Not Me and Shipper

Fluke Gawin - depends on how you look at Not Me and Dark Blue Kiss

Khaotung Thanawat - Tonhon Chonlatee (U) & The Eclipse (S, but it's not really a S/u show)

Max Nattapol (YES of MaxTul) - Bangkok Love Stories 2: Innocence (U... maybe?) & Manner of Death (S)

Ja Phachara - UWMA (U, but it's unclear) & Don't Say No (S)

similarly, Na Naphat - UWMA (S, but unclear) & KinnPorsche (U) & forthcoming BL Wish Me Luck (S)

In that one Na will be opposite Fiat (above), at which point they will be part of the elite club of pair switches with Haii & Title.

I honestly can't remember which role Phuwin played opposite Neo in My Tee, and I'm NOT rewatching it to remind myself.

If anyone has any more to rec please do. I know I am missing some more obscure ones.

Oh right and this man, of course.

All hail the king. (Bah Vinh has been in like every Vietnamese BL, including one where he played a straight guy side.) He usually plays the seme roles but in Mr Cinderella he was not quite.

The Too-Long PerthChimon Review: Part 1

In this part, I will be covering the three (!) shows both Perth and Chimon were in. One is a non-BL where their characters do not interact, but the other two (which you've probably watched, if you're reading this) are BLs and feature them as a couple!

(I segmented them for readability. If there's a better way to do it please lmk oops)

Please… Siang Riak Winyan aka Please… Soul Call

I only watched 4 episodes, because that was all that was available with subtitles. The other two are online somewhere, but I wasn't very inclined to continue.

'Please' is a short horror series where Win (Chimon) and his classmates encounter… ghosts, or something. I don't remember much about this one, if I'm being honest. They accidentally contact some ghosts in a school bathroom and they suffer because of it for 6 episodes. It's not particularly memorable, and the horror elements weren't super good but I am willing to cut it some slack in that aspect.

What I did find interesting is Perth's character, Breeze. Breeze is a transfer student who is later revealed to be the younger half-brother of another character, Be. The two aren't close, but their interactions in the show are quite heartfelt.

However, this whole half-siblings subplot kind of comes out of nowhere…? And neither does it really lead anywhere. Be and Breeze aren't part of the main friend group in Please, and don't have much importance outside of this.

The only purpose this storyline serves is to explain the origins of the main ghost that's been haunting Win and friends (this is an assumption. I did not watch episodes 5 and 6 but it's heavily implied in the earlier episodes so I will stick with it).

Please is rather unremarkable as a series, but as an actor fan it really makes me want to claw at the walls.

First, this is where PerthChimon met. They've mentioned talking a little at the workshops in some of their interviews.

Second, this is Perth's first TV series as well as Chimon's first lead role in a series (he was the lead of a movie I'll discuss in another part).

Third, this series is likely where director New Siwaj started picking favourite actors. Alongside Perth, Mark Siwat and Sood Yacht (I am so sorry if I got his name wrong I'm not familiar with him) are also in this series. The three of them would get cast in Love By Chance not long after, with Perth and Yacht appearing in several of New's shows after that.

Lastly, Perth and Mark Siwat (who plays Be) became friends on this set! Mark was Perth's first friend in the industry, and they're still good friends now as far as I know. I enjoyed watching them work together, but I'll get into that more when I talk about The Stranded. This paragraph is already longer than it should be.

Never Let Me Go

This is a show I have opinions that I struggle to put into words about. Never Let Me Go is a series about the heir to a prestigious family, Nuengdiao, and the bodyguard assigned to him after his father is shot and killed, Palm. Perth plays Nuengdiao's cousin Chopper, while Chimon plays Ben, a classmate of theirs.

I did not like this show. The storyline is messy at times, the characters (with the exception of Chopper) are often underwhelming and don't reach their full potential.

It has an interesting premise, but fails to deliver at almost every turn after the first few episodes. I will be focusing on Chopper and Ben but one thing I particularly disliked about Palm and Nueng is that Palm is a very bland character.

We never learn much about him beyond his protectiveness and his existence as The Love Interest, and he lacks a distinct personality. This is a problem with Mork in Fish Upon The Sky as well (sorry Pond) but it's more noticable in NLMG due to it's more serious tone, which requires better developed characters than a romcom like FUTS would.

There were some things I enjoyed about the show! It's very nice to look at. The visuals are good! The cast being pretty also helps. I loved Perth's performance as Chopper, it is by far the strongest performance in the cast.

It's not that the rest of them are bad actors, rather strong actors like Chimon and Pawin were dragged down because they aren't given very much to work with. When good actors are given subpar scripts or underdeveloped characters, they'll try their best but their performance will Not be as good!!! Which is unfortunate.

Chopper is the only well-rounded character in this series. I assume there were rewrites along the way, since Chopper is quite different from the novel that was written alongside the series and ChopperBen were likely added in only after Perth joined the cast, to promote PerthChimon before Dangerous Romance. I personally have a soft spot for Ben (I have a big gay crush on Chimon) but Chopper is my favourite character overall in NLMG.

NLMG feels very much like a PG-13 Kinnporsche that misses everything that made KP… well, KP. This is probably a coincidence but I watched them one after another so NLMG's flaws were more obvious to me. By episode 12 I was only watching for ChopperBen and I had no interest in PalmNueng, which rarely happens even if I favour the side pair. NLMG just feels lacking in many ways, to the point where I enjoyed FUTS more (despite being equally bad) just because it's funny.

There are a few things I wished the series took from the novel. The ChopperBen epilogue set shortly after they move overseas together is something that I think the series desperately needed. It makes Ben's storyline (which the novel has a heavier emphasis on) more complete, and considering we didn't get ChopperBen in Our Skyy 2, it would have been a good conclusion to ChopperBen as a whole.

I also liked the PalmNueng rooftop scene but I understand why they left it out of the series. The novel also kills off Kit after the final confrontation in episode 12, but I assume the series didn't want to deal with the implications of Chopper patricide.

I didn't finish the NLMG Our Skyy 2 episodes but the slightly lighter tone definitely helped a lot. A bit of a weird choice to give bully kid whats-his-name a boyfriend out of nowhere but as a MarcPawin fan I respect it.

This series was… a mess. But I love ChopperBen dearly! They're something special and I spend a much longer time thinking about them than I show. They're what got me into PerthChimon and I'll never regret watching NLMG for that alone.

Dangerous Romance

Finally, their most recent work, Dangerous Romance. I was waiting for this one for months and definitely not disappointed, even if it wasn't what I expected! (Just a warning. I will be criticising DR a bit here.)

The character relationships are the strongest part of DR. KanghanSailom's development over the episodes, navigating how to love eachother and growing as people together, was incredible to watch over 12 weeks. The way it all comes together is amazing.

GuyNava and NameSaifah, although lacking screentime, were super interesting to me. They managed to sell us (even View and June, who referred to them as another couple in DR on Live House) on NameSaifah in around 3 episodes total somehow which I find hilarious. PimfahNabdao didn't get much screentime but they were cute and I hope we get a continuation of their story!

DR also looks VERY good. Some of the visuals are amazing. The windmill location is gorgeous and I assume it looks even better in person (I HAVE to visit someday… A few Japanese fans I know flew to Thailand and visited it. I wish I were them).

However, DR often struggles to get from point A to point B. This isn't a huge problem because the A and B in question are well-written, but it really feels like they had a few scenes planned but couldn't figure out how to connect them. They knew the direction they wanted to take KanghanSailom and GuyNava, but had difficulty writing the 'to' in 'enemies to lovers'. This is evident with other scenes too but it's very obvious when it comes to the main couple and the primary side couple of a BL.

Some of the direction is also a bit questionable. I personally don't like the overuse of flashbacks and OST (it reminds me of Double Savage and that's not a good thing) but I've accepted that its just a DR thing.

I like what the costuming team has come up with, bless whoever managed to make Pawin look 10 years younger than he is and the same age as actors 4 to 6 years younger than him. The details in how the wardrobe of the friendgroup, down to the colour of their uniforms is a nice touch too. This crew definitely has a lot of love for the series and I like that!!!

DR is hurt a lot by what it sets itself up to be. When viewed as a typical BL with interesting romantic storylines, it's very good.

However, the promotion tends to frame it as something darker than what we ended up with, a unique storyline that happens to be BL (similar to Only Friends in that sense). The pilot trailer also doesn't help, since it promised a darker overall feel with meaner characters. The themes of poverty and class differences aren't handled very well but people who think more about DR's themes than me have discussed this. I was here to watch KanghanSailom be cute after episode 3.

This difference between what was expected from the pilot and trailers and the final product is what I suspect causes people to view DR as worse than it is. Looking past that, DR is a flawed but great BL series, one of the better shows to come out of the GMMTV2023 lineup.

I'm also one of the people who were skeptical about the difference in the feel of the pilot and the official trailers. The pilot trailer occupies a good 15% of my brainspace and I will always miss all it gave us (the rain kiss!!!!! THE VIBE OF THE BACKING SONG!!!!!!) but DR is something that exists separate from that now and as it's own thing, I adore it.

What I really love about DR is how PerthChimon it is. It's a very significant show for both of them in so many ways! It's their "official" return to BL (Perth hasn't done BL since 2020, Chimon not since 2018) and I don't think there would've been a better show for this.

Kanghan and Sailom have a lot of Perth and Chimon in them, and I don't even know if it was intentional. Perth and Chimon both relate a lot to their characters (for reasons they have mentioned in interviews) and when listening to what Perth said when he was asked what Kanghan wants to say to Sailom I wanted to run around in circles and scream because you could really tell it came from his heart.

It's also the first time Chimon has released a song, and the first time Perth has sung a duet.

You can see the PerthChimon in some scenes like when Kanghan is feeding Sailom in their studying montage, and one entire postcredits Oishi segment (I don't remember which episode, I think it's the open house one). As a PerthChimon fan Dangerous Romance is incredible because of all this!!!

There's also a line before they perform Sunset at the open house that stuck out to me. Kanghan's line about how Sailom is talented but rarely has the chance to showcase his talents is just a little awkward by itself but it gets me very emotional because Chimon has talked about how he turned down singing jobs in the past due to trauma and still gets nervous on stage, something which Perth supports him through whenever they sing together.

(Since I first typed this, a clip has been posted where the directors talk about how a lot of the sweet KanghanSailom scenes were improvised. Incredible work from PerthChimon, 10/10 no notes.)

DR is filmed in the same campus building as several other Chimon shows like Edge of 17 and The Gifted which is a whole other thing I think about sometimes. Especially Edge of 17, his first BL series with Pluem Purim. Comparing Sun and Sailom, you can really see how much Chimon has grown in those SIX?! years.

I also love seeing PerthChimon work together. They're very comfortable with eachother, and Perth has said that Chimon is the partner he's felt the most comfortable with (knowing Perth's acting history, this is a very bold statement but I believe he means it). I hope DR is just the start for PerthChimon and they continue working together for a long time.

(Similarly to NLMG, I responded to an ask about DR's flaws recently. I talk about the pacing issues here as well!)

And that's the end of part one. Thank you for reading!!! You can always drop me an ask if you have anything to say, my inbox is open. The next parts will be uploaded slowly.

BL ~ Drama Asks

I was tagged by @gunsatthaphan. Thank you so much, these questions are super interesting. 💜

1. If you had to watch one drama forever what would it be?

Uhm. Tbh I’m not much of a rewatcher, at least not very often, so this feels like some elaborate method of torture lmao

Maybe The Miracle of Teddy Bear because it’s super long with a lot of different storylines so it won’t be boring (until it kills me dead in the last ep).

Or maybe Gen Y because lmao lmao at least it’s entertaining 🤡

2. If you could change the ending of a drama which one would it be?

If there won’t be another season of Kinnporsche I’d just want some closure for KimChay. It doesn’t even necessarily have to be a happily ever after, just something more than crying alone in a room that isn’t even Chay’s room (he looked so lonely and trapped 😭) with a future that’s uncertain. And don’t even get me started on Kim.

Also, I need to see Korn lose. 😒

3. Name your favorite drama and tell who your favorite character was.

I can’t choose, I have so many and they change so often. 😭

I have a soft spot for Our Days and Mon is definitely one of my favourite characters. I have so much love for everyone involved in this production in general. 💜💜

Other than that, there’s Teh (ITSAY & IPYTM), Bar (En of Love, Love Mechanics), Toh (SCOY), Ae (Love By Chance), Prakan (Dear Doctor) aaand I want to say Kim (Kinnporsche) but there simply wasn’t enough of him in the show to count as a fave lmao

4. Name a drama you dropped within the first few episodes ~ we all have at least one!

Right now, it’s Check Out. I love Best Vittawin so, so much, but I can’t watch this. I can’t. I’m too weak. I’m sorry, Best, I failed you. 💀

5. Name a popular drama you've never watched and why?

You’re my Sky & Light On Me. Idk the stars just weren’t aligned, I guess. Maybe I’ll pick them up later when my watchlist isn’t as full (yeah, right lmao).

6. Name a drama you regret watching.

Hm. Maybe the second part of Love Area? I had a soft spot for the first half and I love Kaitoon as a character (and his actor too - I hope he’s going to be in another drama eventually) but wtf was that? I didn’t even mind the open/bad ending. Sometimes things just don’t work out and sometimes people are just toxic for each other but... make it make sense, at least! What’s with all of these side characters? Why did you underutilise Jeff Satur? Why did the screenwriters hate Nont so much? And the sound editing and continuity were really rough all of a sudden.

7. Name a drama you thought you’d never watch but did and did you end up liking it?

Uh. Probably 2Moons2. I read about the controversies before I watched the show and I was prepared to hate it but then I didn’t. I actually really liked it (for what it was... I mean, it isn’t a masterpiece or anything lmao).

8. Name a pairing you want to see?

Prom Ratchapat & Mark Siwat. They better deliver on that cameo because now I’m invested!

Also, Mos Panuwat & Bank Mondop because I love their travel vlogs so much. Actual hearteyes, they’re so 💜💜💜

And Perth Nakhun & Nodt Nutthasid because we all need at least one ghostship. 🤡

9. Name a pairing you didn’t think had chemistry?

Thanu & Wayu in Gen Y. What even was that? Like, what was the goal there? Was I too hung up on Thanu/Phai and Pha/Wayu to see it? I feel like if they had just allowed the actors to use their natural chemistry (like it shone through in the funny scenes) everything would have been fine but instead they just stared at each other during their “romantic scenes” and managed to convey not a single emotion that way. AND PHA DIED FOR WHAT? 😤

Also, Best Vittawin and Chahub Marut. They just don’t work for me tbh but it could just be that Check Out is so ?? ???

10. Name a pairing you have seen in another drama that you like?

Uh, as in - a drama I haven’t watched but where I like the pairing? Or a pairing that’s been in several dramas?

Idk I’m confused but I think Jame Kasama & Jet Jetsadakorn are Starhunter’s best acting pair and it’s time they realised that and gave them another show (Big can come too, as a treat).

I’m tagging: @thii-nii @placetneplacet @nongnao @singharit @liyazaki @smittenskitten @machikeita @florbexter @boun-prem @absolutebl (no pressure, of course 💜) and whoever else wants to do this (pls feel free to tag me, too, I’m super curious!)

#about me #jane watches stuff #the way i forget half of the stuff i love whenever a question about faves comes up #also i realise my taste is the exact opposite of whatever's mainstream #i actually really need to work on that

BL is such a welcome and often times necessary distraction from reality. I decided to remind myself of why I fell in love with the genre. So naturally, like any mature adult, I'm making a list, of course.

*My unsolicited list of " my favorite BL actors":

1. Mark Siwat Jumlongkul

This is not a ranking. Nonetheless, I'm giving the first mention to Mark Siwat. I have a soft spot for Mark. Of the actors I'll mention on this list, I think he's gotten the least recognition for how well he performs his craft.

Often times, BL actors very obviously get their opportunity because they fit the Thai beauty standards; i.e. light or fair skinned. While Mark does benefit from light skin privilege, no one can deny that he CAN ACT. My son is an actor! He has genuine talent.

From the first time I saw him in "I Am Your King", he caught my eye. The scene where New breaks up with August is my favorite from the series. Mark conveys August's disbelief and hurt with such sincerity. It's by no means a truly exceptional scene. It just stands out because it would have been so easy for Mark to over-act, but he held back

All of his performances are natural and effortless. That and, you can clearly see how he has zero trepidation about being intimate with his co-stars (emphasis on intimate not necessarily sexual). See gif below:

*can we just appreciate how beautifully these two fit into each other. I would love to see them together again. I mean, sweet wholesomeness aside; there's also the crazy chemistry.

I was so happy to see that he FINALLY got a leading role in "Bite Me". I'm waiting for the full season to air before I watch it.

Everything from his subtle, yet meaningful facial expressions, to the measured/controlled way he delivers his lines... Magic. He knows how to use his face, voice and body to convey every feeling that his character experiences.

Okay! I'm done.

2. Perth Tanapon Sukhumpantanasan

Next up is Perth. I mean, I don't think anyone needs convincing of Perth's acting abilities. That his acting debut was at 17 and he absolutely killed that role, is still amazing to me. Much like Mark, Perth is a naturally gifted actor. He just knows what he's doing. Talent galore.

Last I heard, he had decided to step back from BL. Which I completely respect. Regardless, his portrayal of Ae in "Love By Chance" and Krit in "the Stranded" earned him my respect for his acting abilities.

3. Gulf Kanawut Traipipattanapong

Need I say more? Gulf is one of those actors I will follow for the rest of his career (BL or not) because I genuinely love to watch him on screen.

No one else could have made Type redeemable. I can't bring myself to watch shows written by Mame anymore. But when I was watching "TharnType", I found myself thoroughly impressed by Gulf's ability to recite those cringy lines that Mame wrote. Only he could deliver those ridiculous lines with such earnestness; making them ALMOST believable, ALMOST romantic. ALMOST

4. Kao Noppakao Dechaphatthanakun

Okay, so Kao.

This is where I pause for a quick sidenote. I have to call myself out here. 😬 Given my history with BL shows that very obviously hire actors for their looks and not talent (or dedication to telling a good story) *throws shade* I prejudged Kao. He's just, too traditionally good-looking. Too handsome. Too "leading man". Am I making sense? I kinda thought he'd be one of those; make one BL show, put in miminal effort, skate by on his looks, make a name for himself, garner a captured audience, then bounce.

I stand humbly and unbegrudgingly corrected.

5. First Kanaphan Puitrakul

Okay, so First isn't really a BL actor. I mean, he did one show that could kinda, maybe, possibly, if you don't think too hard about it, be considered a BL series. But ultimately, he isn't a prominent BL actor. That said, First can act! My boy is an actor. He's so good at comedy that I don't think the audience truly recognizes how talented he is. And effortlessly so.

Also, his smile! I hear angels sing and lose the feeling in my right toe when he smiles.

6. James Teeradon Supapunpinyo

His inclusion on this list does not warrant further elaboration. James is an around performer. He's so talented and it's undeniable.

Enough said.

7. Ohm Pawat Chittsawangdee

The first role I saw Ohm in was Frame in "Make It Right". He was a baby. I still question how appropriate it was for him to play Frame at that age (or at all), but thats not why we're here.

Ohm has definitely grown as an actor. You need only watch "He's Coming to Me" to see his range. However, his inclusion on this list is primarily for his almost supernatural ability to have intense chemistry with anyone and everyone he shares the screen with. It's to the point where I question whether he does it on purpose ,or if his aura is just that magnetic. All Ohm has to do is make eye contact with his co-star and a ship is born.

8. War Wanarat Ratsameerat

Last but by no means least is War. War's performance in "En of Love" was the shows saving grace. Mark, Perth and War have a similar vibe in that they don't have to over-act in order to convey emotions.

I hope to see War in more shows going forward because he is entirely deserving of success in the acting world.

These are my faves. So talented. So appreciated

scary relationship chart

I made a messy visual for this a few months ago but here I will attempt to put it into words!!!

If you've spent enough time around Thai actors you've probably realised a lot of them happen to know each other. I like making connections drawing lines and once I fell into a hole because of these 6 20something year olds.

Ohm Pawat, Nanon Korapat, Chimon Wachirawit, Perth Tanapon, Saint Suppapong and Mark Siwat all know each other in one big circle. Here's a short video showcasing it (this is not as detailed as my post will be but it has the rough idea).

(It's hard finding a place to start when it comes to a group of 6.)

1. Saint, Ohm and Chimon went to the same high school, Assumption College (Thailand). Ohm and Chimon are in the same year, while Saint is 2 years above them.

Ohm and Chimon became close friends here (I don't have any clips where they mention this but it's evident from how they act). I'm unsure when exactly they met but they've been friends for a very, very long while.

Saint wasn't close with them because he's older but in School Tales The Series interviews he mentions sometimes seeing Chimon around campus. In one of these interviews he also said they could get closer by talking about football and he was relieved to be working with an old schoolmate.

Saint and Ohm would later attend the same university (SWU) and I don't know if they were friends. Everyone here except Chimon actually went to SWU so this doesn't mean much 😭

2. Nanon and Chimon met while filming Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy season 2 in 2016. Nanon was in S1 but Chimon wasn't. They got along quickly because they were close in age (they're both born 2000, even though by Thai conventions Nanon is younger). They would go on to film several series together in the next few years.

Similarly, Perth and Mark met while filming Please... Siang Riak Winyan in 2017. Mark was the first to approach Perth and became Perth's first friend in the entertainment industry. They also spent more time with each other because their characters were close.

Chimon was also in Please, and this is where he met Perth and Mark. The two weren't super close with Chimon since they didn't share scenes.

3. Mark and Ohm became friends in SWU. There are old videos of Ohm being annoying (affectionate) around Mark.

In Ohm and Mark's first year at SWU, Ohm met Perth (still in high school). According to a Double Savage interview, they'd met through a mutual friend. I am unable to find anything that confirms or denies this but I am almost certain Mark introduced them. They became good friends afterwards and have described each other as like blood brothers.

(Ohm thought Perth would be arrogant because he was already an established actor by then but he was very polite HAHAHAHA he is soooo cute 🫳🐯)

Also this isn't really in chronological order but Nanon and Perth met in SWU in 2019 as well!

4. In 2018, Ohm, Nanon and Chimon were cast in Blacklist. When they were filming the pilot, Ohm and Nanon met for the first time. Chimon helped to introduce them (having been friends with both for years at this point) and when Nanon saw Chimon speaking casually to Ohm, he started doing so as well.

(Nanon is a year below Ohm and Chimon, but he's close enough to Chimon that he speaks to him like they're the same age. Ohm has mentioned seeing Nanon skipping class in uni wwww)

Perth and Mark met Saint while working on Love By Chance. Perth and Saint were paired together. I'm not certain about LBC because I don't want to touch anything related to it but there seems to have been a LOT of promotion featuring the full cast.

5. Perth and Chimon met again at some point, likely around when Perth joined GMMTV. They were both close with Ohm and Nanon. Perth was asked early on who he'd want to work with in GMMTV and he answered P'Ohm, P'Chimon and Nanon 😊🫳🐯.

TL;DR

Ohm, Chimon and Saint went to the same high school. Everyone except Chimon went to the same university. Nanon-Chimon, Ohm-Nanon, Perth-Mark, Saint-Perth met through series. Ohm-Perth were introduced by a mutual friend.

(I don't know anything about Nanon, Mark and Saint. Half the industry probably knows Nanon but I don't know if they're friends with him.)

What about the shows?

Aside from the aforementioned shows, many of them were also cast in the same series.

- Perth and Mark were cast as a couple in The Stranded. They were very comfortable with each other by then so there weren't many problems. They even improvised a kiss! Perth-Mark did some promotion together (Pepsi ad and Mint Magazine video for example) but went their separate ways career-wise after.

- Around the same time as Blacklist, Ohm and Chimon were both cast in He's Coming To Me as friends.

- I don't know WHEN because My Precious production was SLOW but Ohm Nanon and Chimon were all cast in the movie. The series version was also filmed at the same time.

- In 2021, Ohm and Nanon were paired for Bad Buddy. They did around a year of promotion before, well, divorce.

- Saint and Chimon were cast in the same episode of School Tales The Series. This was done before PerthChimon became an official GMMTV pair but I find it very funny that by the time it aired PerthChimon had already done an event together. This twitter thread has links to videos and interviews with Saint and Chimon.

Mark was also in School Tales, but in a different episode.

- Ohm and Perth played brothers in Double Savage. Given what their characters are like I would hope Ohm and Perth didn't put TOO much of themselves into it but I presume their friendship helped with bringing their characters to life.

- I've done a separate PerthChimon timeline so I won't talk too much about them but they became an official pair around mid 2022, likely also when Perth joined the cast of NLMG.

- Music projects! Perth and Nanon have been in Musicon, both Japan and Jakarta. Perth was also a special guest at an Ohm-Nanon fanmeet, where he performed with Ohm.

😬😬😬 typed this out on a whim so I might be missing things. The 6 of them make me so (TEARING HAIR OUT) genuinely. Hoping for a Perth and Nanon project next year 🫠🙏
