Sorry, Ohmnanon Fans, Their Chemistry Got Nothing on First & Khao
The good times have passed.
Regardless of country, genre, or production company, much of the success of any show or movie depends on the chemistry between the leads.
Whether they really enjoy each other's company or despise each other so much that the sparks are easily mistaken for romantic passion, if the chemistry is there, you can bet on the audience's support.
This was the pride of the Thai BL romantic comedy Bad Buddy. Although the actors were instructed to work on a typical "enemies-turned-lovers" storyline, their affection for each other seemed very genuine during the promotional events.
Ohm and Nanon looked like they were having a lot of fun during numerous interviews, live streams, and fan meetings.
The relationship between the two actors remained friendly, and it felt very natural to fans. One day the stress got to both of them and they got into a fight in front of all the fans, management, and family. Since then, the relationship, which seemed perfectly healthy, has gone downhill.
As good as it was while it lasted, there is a whole new power couple in the house. The ever-changing scene of Thai cinema doesn't leave time for such slips, as there is always a plethora of newcomers ready to take their place in the spotlight.
Kanaphan and Khaotung Thanawat, who are now in the midst of promoting their upcoming BL series Only Friends, which premieres on October 28th, are quickly grabbing the attention of fans. The latest poll on r/ThaiBL shows the overwhelming support the community has for FirstKhao.
The only hope the audience has for First and Khao is that they don't end up in the same situation as their “predecessors.” As easy as it seems to be to become the next hot item on the list, the pressure that the management and the fans put on the actors can easily get to them and make them crack at the worst possible moment.
If you want to be the first to see Only Friends, mark your calendars for October 28th so you don't miss the big premiere. Bad Buddy is also available to stream on iWantTFC.
