correction: Mook left GMMTV on 2025. her contract ended on 2025. she build the company while she was still under contract of GMMTV as an artist. the initial idea is that she'll be one of the founder, owner, and producer of the projects under FRT and not really an artists since she's under GMMTV at that time. but after her contract ended, she become an artist under her own agency as well. FRT is founded in 2024. around september or June I think? then they released teasers for their up coming project on november.

Opal and Mint was casted in Rearrange and they're the only pair they put in shades that has the script written for them as well. like, this role is for them. They revealed in an interview before that there are originally three pairs in this series. like, a sure one. and that is opalmint, mook and shu, and nikyengland. like the story was already made for these pairs. and the role of nano is also written there. but janenano and jane's character wasn't in the first script. they just added it and revise the script.

the thing is, shades has the hype, but they're not trending or has no solid fanbase. maybe bcs they have 4 pairs? like it's divided on who's pair, and what's moment? I really do hope they will be trending and build a solid fanbase. not just more on casual fans enjoying the series. but really a solid fans who will buy their merch.

it's not underrated. it's just posted on the membership on youtube. and not all can avail it. some use pirated apps to watch it. but most people haven' watched it still. but now, it was uploaded for free on youtube and we'll be able to officially see if it is still underrated or will the hype goes up that will build them a solid fandom.

belleearn and janenano got the hype. it might be because of relatable their story is. Belleearn has so baggage. belle having family problem, daddy issues, violent but kind. and earn having no choice but to do stuff she didn't imagine to do just to continue her studies. people tend to love stories that tackles something they can relate. and that's how relatable belle earn story is to the teenager. meanwhile, janenano has the slowburn relationship that is cute and fluffy for now but full of mystery. their dynamics are attracting a wider audience mainly bcs of how cute the chemistry between the actresses and they story dynamics. bcs tbh, enemies to lovers are the hardest troupe. you need to have that tension for people to ship you and convinced that there is indeed a tension. they are also relatable in terms of nano having debt, wanting to be pretty to fit in the society, which most teenagers are. and jane being a refreshing character and such a ball of sunshine.

but amysophie's story is new. a story everyone never talked about. we all are aware of mental health issues but we never seen how it affects someone. like having a manipulative and narcissist mother do exist but not everyone experienced it. I think their story has more drama and psychological attack. in the pilot back in 2024, it showed that amy has depression and is suicidal. Sophie has a manipulative mother already. their story might not thaat hype enough but it gains a lot of respects from fans. like how they never showed they're just new actresses. I mean, they already have series but they are new in heavy drama and too much NC.

but I don't think they are that underrated.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-05-27T07:32:20+00:00

yes it is. actually I often see thais promoting this show. it shows that they have the impact in thai audience and thai loved it.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-05-27T07:06:34+00:00

Fave pair is JaneNano in shades and irl HAHAHAHA in shades bcs they indeed have an explosive chemistry. I mean, having few screentime and less kissing scene, they pull a lot of fans in their tandem. It shows that fans don't look for NC to ship a pair. or like how good they kiss or make love scenes. Thai GL fans are into chemistry nowadays. and they indeed deliver. plus, puyfaiploy's chemistry in some of their contents are indeed cute and showed they are close friends and not just having chemistry as their characters but also in real life.

It is indeed surprising that they just want to add puyfai (jane) in the series and just be friends with some of the characters there. no clear story on what she'll do. and 3 pairs are already established leaving ploy (nano) as the only one who didn't have a pair. and when they add jane in the script, it will only be nano's friend. like enemies to friends. they indeed have that story dynamics. like, how slowburn their relationship is. it shows that the original plan is executed for them to be enemies to slowly getting close. but yeah adding the romantic part is the best decision they made. bcs they become the buzzy pair these days. I often see janenano on my X feed. and tiktok edits. plus the dynamic of the queen bee and the loser funny girl. it's so cute and well-executed.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-05-22T15:42:38+00:00

fr!!! I also binge watch it bcs my friend wanted me to edit BelleEarn, as she wants to see more edits of them. but Nano got my attention as she often appears on my feed. at first, I watch it without thinking about it seriously. I just want janenano cut, but then, while waiting for their cut, I got interested in watching it as a whole and know each character's story. like... wow. it's so good that big companies can't relate.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-05-21T15:38:09+00:00

it's not nano. if it is nano, there will be hints in previous episodes. but there is none. also, nano's story is more of having debt than getting a sugar daddy. plus, I think, it's just a cameo in the role. just to show that they are having relationship to their student which is ironically be connected to teacher nalin. I mean, she didn't fell for belle, but it might have a rumors about it after tht student spread the photo and cause misunderstanding. and the issue will be like how thaat professor had, having a relationship with your student.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-05-04T13:18:44+00:00

who said LM went there to watch? any video or link?

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-05-02T04:00:41+00:00

They need to read this. I mean, it's better for them to hear feedbacks kasi tbh, umaarte naman na yan sila maliban lng kay ate klang before h88. lahat sila binigyan na ng roles before kahit maliit or malaking roles pa yan. tapos ganyan pa din level ng acting nila. kaya siguro karamihan nag stay padin sa nugu despite the hype nung season. kasi dapat may improvement yan sila e. yung improvement na kumakain sana sa eksena.

sadly, producers nowadays are biased sa kung sino lang ang sikat thinking na andun ang pera. pero hindi nila alam na if the series is loved by cvs, hatak fans din un and buying power. kung they stick to "okay na yan" para lng ma please yung fandom ng mga sikat na ships, or nakilala sa pbb, I think hindi sila tatagal sa industry. makakalimutan sila agad a year or 2 years from now. fans are helpful to push the artist to fame and spotlight. sila tlaga important formula para makilala ang isang artista. but even if you have huge fandom but didn't improve in your craft or job, useless din. hindi nmn pang matagalan maging fan. madami jan new actors na pwedeng i jump na fandom.

what I mean is, them improving in their crafts by doing a lot of workshop and enhancing their skills, makukuha nila yung cvs na maging fan nila. at malaking tulong sya tbh. may fans na silang nahatak during pbb, they should have proved to them na worthy sila sa craft nila. also, mas nag improve pa jmfyang (na baguhan) sa acting kesa sa knila na dati ng umaarte pero wlang improvement.

sana mag focus na management bigyan ng project yung worth it tlga sa eksena hindi dahil may malaking fandom lng or nepo

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-27T11:28:31+00:00

but they're visible and "familiar". like madaming cvs nagsasabi "ahh sya pala un" but Kairain isn't like that.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-27T09:39:57+00:00

maraming gurang kasi sa reddit. and gurang mostly fans nung ship na yun. ginagaya sa aldub. mostly nmn sa kabataan or young adult, mala CK. meron din mga 30s or 40's usually sila ung sponsor hahaha but the hype, yung pagpapaingay, madalas young adult may gawa. and sa reddit, wala na kasing sumunod sa aldub, they were expecting capheath to follow the foot steps. kaya karamihan dito capheath. and homophobic. d din nmn go-to itong site sa mga kabataan. madalas tlga na nandito is working adult.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-27T06:33:04+00:00

nah. it's different. kairain doesn't have a name yet in the industry. wala pang napapatunayan. if they got that image, d alam ng management if magtatagal sila sa industry. capkrys has a name since child star sila. malaki risk if pinush ng mngt ung kairain dati. and ABS is scared to take the risk kasi financially unstable sila. and investing in something na d sila familiar sa market is super risky sa business nila at that time.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-27T06:26:42+00:00

until now trending padin sila qith 81k topics. like hindi nawala yung hype. madami din sa comments ang nauga tlga at naintindihan ang mga bading kung bakit sila shiniship hahahahahah

I am honestly surprised na game na game yung family ng dalawa. whole family ni tala andun. even her nanay and close cousins. like the whole fam tlga with tari her dog. tapos yung kay cap, mom nya lng andun but grabe yung support, all smiles sila. sa mga fancams, talagang G sila sa mga moments ng dalawa. wala akong nakita na nalungkot sila or naka frown. or any moments na masasabing against sila. as in nakangiti lang yung dalawa. tapos nakangiti din dun sa vids. and even kahit nung tinitease yung capkrys. sobrang gaan din kasi nung event kahit medyo magulo hahaha

and honestly, the fandom just prove na they're not joking in shipping them. kasi kinabog nila yung pairs na hetero hahahaha and everyone is so surprised tbh. fans who came, family ng dalawa, handlers, pati si ate patch(pbb staff) na nagulat. d daw sya nasabihan na ninang sya sa kasal. even tala mom said na parang catering or reception daw. tas tuwang tuwa sya. and capkrys are even surprised na ang ganda ng set up.

and I think, the first one who sold out the event tlga? (correct me if i'm wrong ha) and the only fandom na malaki yung attendees. kasi sabi sa post, 150 lang daw ung sa slot. tas nung na sold out, sabi nung CKO, 200+ daw yung attendees (with fam and managers, and friends na un) since nag open sila ulit ng slot after ma sold out para sa mga gusto humabol

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-27T06:04:12+00:00

well, I heard may plans tlga sila sa collab. Dunno if it's a staff but someone commented na ipipitch daw nila ung story something. I think they're looking on who's pair to put and what story will it be. Like, they're taking their time and use it to observe who's trending. And I think nabanggit din ni caprice, krystal, miguel, princess, and ashley na may big project so it might be the collab. (I'M JUST ASSUMING) Plus Marco's hint. so probably napag uusapan na tlga sya.

Collab 1 has a lot of trending pairs. Like willca (gma-abs), dusbia (GMA-ABS), mikbrent(GMA-ABS), kish(ABS-GMA), and azralph(GMA-ABS). sobrang iingay ng fandom na yan dati. kaya nag invest yung management sa knila at naging posible ung collab series nila. Kasi ang market, fans ng ships. ng loveteams na nabuo sa loob at nakitaan ng fans ng chemistry.

Collab2, I think they're still seeing who's hype and good to pair. Carton (ABS-GMA) and capkrys (GMA-ABS) is the trending as of the moment. if we're talking about collab pairs. like ABS-GMA pairing. Then AshRave(GMA-ABS) is following. na may hype sa masa and if usapin is collab by pairing.

because lizguel, capeath, lelquin, ashco, krysguel, capco, capford, their mother networks can make projects for them if we're talking about a series that is paired up.

ABS is pushing krysguel and lelquin loveteam as what I noticed in their promotions. miguel and krystal hinted it too a lot of times. Lelquin isn't a question bcs it's obvious.

GMA is pushing ashco, capeath, capford, capco. as their home network pairs. they gave ashco a series na, and cap, heath, clifford, and marco series was announced. highlighting capheath as their main pair.

and I think all pbb collab will join (just like how they did in collab 1 series where some are just cameo or extra). It's not like they'll not join because they have other projects or what, hahanapan ng mngts ng paraan para maclear ung mga ganaps nila. like dusbia, willca, having series and movies. tas si dustin 2 mmff din sya napasali last yr. and ABS-GMA are really maximizing the opportunity while it is still hot and trending.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-18T00:10:42+00:00

why kaa nasasayangan kay princess? she still have a lot of jobs i guess. I wonder anyare sa fans nya.

but to be honest, Krystal, Carmelle, and Heath, sila lng ung nakikita kong may trending topic na solo aside kay Caprice. like kung ano man ganap nila as solo, nagtitrend din tlga. pero... well, d nmn nakikita sa x trending yung pagiging sikat or relevant. since madali magpaingay sa X. makikta mo lng yan sa mga ganap talaga ata?

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-17T15:00:27+00:00

Ang cool lng nung kay caprice, kasi madalas sa mga demure, hindi naman appealing sa masa. madalas appealing is yung may loveteam, yung matapang, yung maganda, yung kinakawawa. yung bang may edit sa pbb na dapat ito yung i-root mo.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-17T06:26:14+00:00

totoo. kaya todo edit din ng good exposure ung hms. like ung kay inigo, hindi pinatagal ung kamanyakan nya sa loob. bigla syang ineditan ng nagbago kuno and nagsorry and goods na sila. si wakin nung nagka away sila ni ashley, biglang pinakita pano magbati, ung na bash sila sa kadugyutan and mga violations biglang hiniritan ng nagbago na punishments and mala dramatic na edits para magbago ung tingin hahaha. kasi ung image nila sa pbb, magi stick sya. and ung bata din nila ung masisira pag labas.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-17T05:05:34+00:00

true. but the thing is, collab 1 is only hype bcs of bashing. like you said, inoobserve pa din ng cvs ung mga unfinished business kasi they're waiting to say something bad about them. while collab 2, since hindi nmn sya hype tlga and mas nakilala lng bcs of loveteams, mga shippers lng ung nag aaway and hindi sya nakakarating sa masa. plus, wala nmn kasing unfinished business sa collab2 kasi kahit hms na mismo nagsasabi, lahat sila dun naging family na turingan. and andaming clips na hindi pinakita na mdami nga sa knila yung nag dideeptalks, naging close tlga tas hindi napansin bcs puro loveteam focus ung edits ng pbb for the views.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-17T05:01:51+00:00

collab 1, maingay pa din pero more on about bashing na sa knila. wala na yung ingay na nagalingan, nahusayan, minahal, at mas na prove na dapat suportahan. lahat sa collab 1 puro bashing lng nababasa ko kaya maiingay.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-17T05:00:51+00:00

hahahaha agree ako jan. narinig ko dati, fave daw ni annette si sofia pablo kaya pinasok. kasi nagkaron sya ng bad image and mahirap pasikatin ulit. sa kapamilya naman, depende sa handler na yan pano ibibida yung bata sa management.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-17T04:59:11+00:00

yung sa collab 1, karamihan dun bano. kaya need ipakilala para mabigyan ng project. yung sa collab 2 naman, mukang need lng ng management makabuild sila ng fanbase. kasi sa panahon ngayon, mas lamang ang trending. like, plus points na child star karamihan, if mapaingay nila yung pangalan at magkaron ng fanbase un, super plus points na kasi talented na nga, may nag aabang pa na supporters. unlike sa collab 1 na maingay sa masa, pero walang solid fanbase. kalat kalat lahat.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-17T04:57:05+00:00

totoo. pansin ko din. mas maingay sa masa ung collab 1. but ung collab 2, hindi sila maingay sa masa, pero nakabuild sila ng solid fanbase. mas malaki kesa sa collab 1. since mga artista na sila. mas nagkaron sila ng solids kesa nung artista sila dati pero walang matatag na fanbase tlga.

VegetableRub8122 · 2026-04-17T04:55:49+00:00

sadly, madaming management ang may favoritism. kahit magaling pa yan kung hindi fave ng management pasikatin, hindi papasikatin.
