I WILL SAY THE PROMISE WAS ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED BL'S THIS YEAR BECAUSE I ADORED THE MINI SERIES PHUPHA AND NANFAH. THE STORY IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

THAT BEING SAID EPISODES 1 THRU 4 WERE VERY SLOW MOVING FOR ME BUT EPISODE 5 RAMPED UP THE DRAMA TOWARDS THE END ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT EPISODE 6 WILL NOT AIR UNTIL APRIL 19

THOUGH DISAPPOINTED A BIT I CAN'T LET THIS GO. I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO ITS END BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF THE MINIS. HOPEFULLY THE LAST 5 EPISODES WILL IMPROVE BRINGING THIS STORY TO A SATISFYING CONCLUSION (🤞)

THE MINIS WERE DIRECTED BY THE DIRECTOR OF ROOKIE THAILAND'S 21 DAYS THEORY

WHILE THE SERIES IS DIRECTED BY THE DIRECTOR OF BE ON CLOUDS KINNPORSCHE

I CAN UNDERSTAND ANYONE WANTING TO DROP IT, BUT I GUESS I'LL BE WAITING UNTIL APRIL 19 FOR EPISODE 6

THE PROMISE (2023, THAILAND)

Special Workshop Episode

Available on DEVONTE296 OFFICIAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL

The story of Phupha (KITTIKUN TANSUHAS aka KUN) and Nanfah (WATTIKORN PERMSUBHIRUN aka KIAK) began with two short mini series in AUGUST 2022 (PHUPHA) and NOVEMBER 2022 (NANFAH)

I adored both mini series immensely so after the 2nd mini (NANFAH) a series was announced to tell their entire story.

The mini series were directed by SITTICHAI CHUTSIRI aka CHOI and he's known to be a director of commercials but he also directed short BL 21 DAYS THEORY for Rookie Thailand.

After several false starts for the series to premiere it finally did on WeTV on March 1, 2023 with a re airing on the DEVONTE296 OFFICIAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

The Series had so many changes from the mini series it sadly was a bit of let down...just a bit because I was rooting for Phu and Nan. The Series also had a different director than the mini series KONGKIAT KHOMSIRI aka KHOM.

Khom is a screenwriter and director of a slew of series and movies. Most notably to BL fans, he directed KINNPORSCHE.

The screenwriter of The Promise was THANYATHORN SIWANUKROH aka FUNT or FUNTLAND. I'm not certain but I don't think she wrote the mini series. No writers were credited for PHUPHA | NANFAH that I'm aware of. And on FUNT'S MDL page she isn't credited for either mini series. Though she has an impressive list of screenwriter credits.

Now the gifs I made are from what is referred to as a special workshop episode and is under 7 minutes

Nan and Phu are a happy couple and Nan asks Phu when he knew he was in love with him. Phu answers but ask Nan if he recalls the kiss they shared the night before their graduation (Nan was drunk...this was in the series but not the minis) Nan says he has no recollection because while inebriated his memory is wiped clean.

There was a special episode called PROMISE: THE HONEYMOON which required payment which I did not do since I was disappointed with the series.

A season 2 is planned but no release date.

THE PROMISE (2023, THAILAND)

The Series I've been waiting for is here. The premiere was today (March 1, 2023)

A bit different to the two mini series that preceded it I am still hopeful.

The Promise tells the story of two best friends since childhood Phupha aka Phu (KITTIKUN TANSUHAS aka KUN) & Nanfah aka Nan (WATTIKORN PERMSUBHIRUN aka KIAK)

Phu fell madly in love with Nan but couldn't tell him.

Here (not in the mini series) Nan says he knows Phu loves him and he loves him too. Then Nan kisses Phu. But...Nan is drunk.

It looks like the series is taking a deviation from the mini series...but I'm still intrigued...for now

NANFAH: THE MINI SERIES (2022, THAILAND)

Finally convinced to tell Nanfah about his love for him by Dina. Phupha (KITTIKUN TANSUHAS aka KUN) witnesses Nanfah with GiGi and assumes the worse.

Returning to the apartment he shares with Nanfah, their landlady tries to give Phupha the flowers he ordered to give to Nanfah but a crushed Phupha tells her he no longer needs them and to throw them out for him.

He then leaves a note for Nanfah and vanishes..

[bl-bam-beyond]

PHUPHA: THE MINI SERIES (AUGUST 2022)

Phupha (KITTIKUN TANSUHAS aka KUN) is a university student along with his best friend Nanfah (WATTIKORN PERMSUBHIRUN aka KIAK)

Phupha known as Phu has secret feelings for Nanfah but also has a fear of losing him if he opens up about his feelings.

Phu shows his feelings through the things he does for and with Nan. Things he sometimes doesn't want to do (like dance classes) but he is always glad he's the first person Nan comes to when he needs anything.

They are roommates. Phu wakes Nan up for school, fixes him food, irons his clothes and keeps their room clean.

Phu is a loner, except for Nan Phu stays to himself and is often jealous when Nan associates with others especially females like the cute freshman GiGi who obviously has a thing for Nan.

Phu also decides to move out when he mistakenly believes Nan has begin dating Dina. But Nan explains Dina confided she has a guy she likes and wants Nan's help confessing to him. Relieved Phu pulls Nan into a hug (Phu is unaware he is the guy Dina fancies)

When Nan sets Phu up on a date with Dina, Phu is crushed. He admits to Dina he's in love with Nan and she thanks him for his honesty and suggest he tells Nan the truth. Phu decides to do that and sees Nan embrace the freshman GiGi and believes he's lost his chance. He writes Nan a note saying he's leaving to be with his mother in Melbourne, Australia.

Phu takes his things and a photo of himself with Nan and leaves in tears.

After arriving home after a party with his friends after the last day of classes (he was asked by Phu to come straight home for a talk aka Phu's confession) Nan finds the note and races to catch Phu...but he's too late. Phu is gone.

[bl-bam-beyond]

Here Gigi (AMANDA JENSEN aka HEIDI) approaches Phu (KITTIKUN TANSUHAS aka KUN) as he waits for Nan. She reveals she likes Nan. Phu admitted only that he and Nan were best friends since childhood not that he to is in love with Nan.

As Phu watches unseen as Nan (WATTIKORN PERMSUBHIRUN aka KIAK) approaches Gigi who hands him a flower and hugs him. Phu goes home distraught. He then packs and leaves Nan the infamous note about going to Melbourne & disappears

PHUPHA (2022, THAILAND) The 1st Mini Series

Aired in August 2022

[bl-bam-beyond]

THE PROMISE (2023, THAILAND)

This BL series spawn from it's 2 mini series PHUPHA (August 2022) and NANFAH (November 2022) and based on a true story returns tomorrow (Wednesday April 19, 2023) with Episode 6 (Available on WeTV) and on the DEVONTE296 OFFICIAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL a week later.

In Episode 5 Nan (WATTIKORN PERMSUBHIRUN aka KIAK) successfully got Phu (KITTIKUN TANSUHAS aka KUN)to complete his job as presenter (think model or spokesperson or brand Ambassador) and both were on Cloud 9 even reuniting them with classmate Dina (SUPHATRA KLIANGPROM aka MARIMA) who has always had a thing for Phu.

But Cloud 9 quickly came crashing down as Nan learned all about Phu's lies (about his disappearance for 10 years) claiming he was in Melbourne with his mother when actually he never left Thailand. And that he was living on a coffee farm/plantation with his grandmother "granny".

Angered by Phu's lies and unwillingness to tell him the whole truth Nan (in tears as is Phu) tells his best friend HE NEVER WANTS TO SEE HIM AGAIN.

Where do we go from here??
