THEY STEAL THIS FROM US ALL

Let me be understood correctly - I wish Cheque all the best and the most spectacular successes in his professional life. But I will always have a tiny grave in my heart that says Lovely addict.

Venus in the Sky Ep 9 (segunda parte)

*una vez mas tuve que editar y quitar algunos gifs por que Tumblr pues se espanta*

[pharawee]

Sorry to bug you, but could you give me the cliffs notes on what happened to Best and Chahub and the issues with 9naa? Thank you

Sure thing!

So basically when Best and Chahub's series Check Out first aired on iqiyi it was unavailable to watch in many countries. This prompted the director of the series to give an interview saying that the series was too explicit to show on any other platform such as youtube, and that they were looking into maybe broadcasting it via onlyfans.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with onlyfans and what it's used for, but you could argue that it's a very strange thing to say for a professional director who would probably be better off showing his series on other platforms more suited to traditional longform entertainment (like gagaoolala, the patron saint of queer media 🙏).

Add to that that pornography is illegal in Thailand, and any mentioning of it in an actor's portfolio is probably... not that great.

The director further said that during the filming of the intimate scenes they decided to do away with all protective clothing because it just couldn't be done otherwise (decades of spicy scenes in film beg to differ but ok). The actors were fully naked. They didn't decide this beforehand but directly on set. Many fans have later speculated that due to the stressful and time-sensitive nature of a film set, this might have been coercive and exploitative.

The scenes that were later shown in the series were actually not especially spicy. Certainly not spicy enough to call them "25+". Actually, they were so unremarkable (as far as spicy scenes go) that the series has since been re-released on youtube (albeit probably as a cut version? I'm not sure. I haven't watched it) - the very platform 9naa was so sure would ban them if they even so much as looked at the upload button.

Throughout the whole shock value promotion (because what else could it possibly have been?) the actors themselves stayed strangely quiet. They're apparently on record saying that they value their intimate scenes as art. That's it. There was no further promo. There were no follow-up jobs. Best and Chahub weren't in the special ep (according to mdl Best was but I can't remember him showing up hm). They were either quietly dropped by 9naa or bid their time until their contracts expired.

None of this is especially scummy or even illegal (at least as far as we know). It does leave a sour aftertaste however, because companies like 9naa always have the upper hand over their actors. A lot would have to happen for an (inexperienced) actor to speak up because breaking contracts and NDAs would mean losing their jobs and potentially being blacklisted and/or sued (even Yoon Phusanu only came forward after Y.Ent had already broken contract by not paying him until a set date).

So if a company makes weirdly sensational claims that they later either conveniently forget about or passive-aggressively backtrack on, then that's weird. If they show no interest in promoting their own talent and have a strangely high turnover rate for rookie actors, then that's even weirder.

And this isn't an isolated case. 9naa had a whole series planned with MFlow Entertainment. Beyond the Star was supposed to star actors from both companies, only for MFlow to later finish and broadcast the series on their own due to "differences in vision and work attitudes", editing out as many of 9naa's actors as they could. Weird, don't you think?

And, most recently, Cheque Wacharawee (from 9naa's Venus in the Sky) withdrew from any follow-up projects in a letter posted to his instagram because he had concerns due to work attitudes and couldn't even reach 9naa's lawyer (notice that he too only spoke up after 9naa had already violated his contract). 9naa reacted days later with their own very subdued announcement that has since been deleted. Very, very weird.

Who do you think is to blame here? The actors (most of whom are inexperienced and in Chahub's case haven't really acted since), MFlow (a small but reliable company that makes series that aren't always the most cohesive but at least the actors seem happy 🙏) or 9naa who's at the centre of it all?

Personally, as a fan of both Best Vittawin and Cheque Wacharawee, I've decided to no longer support or watch anything by 9naa. Kiseki Chapter 2 sounds nice and I hope its leads are doing well. Maybe the company has since learned from their previous unprofessionalism but people should at least be aware that they have something of a shady track record.

And if you want to support Best, you can watch his new series Knock Knock Boys which is set to release soon. 💜

Looks like Cheque is leaving 9NAA, so Lovely Addict and Kiseki won't be happening (at least not likely with him).

It's unfortunate that the agency is screwing around, but I hope he lands somewhere that will treat him better.

Venus in the Sky Review - Like A Store/Home Reel

Venus just wants to restart his life, but when his former crush, Sky, a doctor, begins to pursue him, his life becomes both complicated and exciting. Read our review of Thai series "Venus in the Sky".

A few weeks ago, I saw a tweet about 2023 Thai series “Venus in the Sky” that said something on the lines of – “great series, watch it after episode six,” and it totally cracked me up because the show is only ten episodes long. But hey, whatever makes people happy. If some think only the last four episodes of this series are worth watching (probably because the lead couple finally gets close and…

Monthly likes/dislikes

👎🏻 Past-senger - I was excited for but this one but it ended up being unwatchable for me. Cooper and Marc are an interesting pair and I was debating hanging on for them but the production quality ended up being a dealbreaker for me. It’s one of the cheapest looking productions I’ve ever seen, it looks like it was filmed & edited by kindergarteners. The cast + acting is solid but even they couldn’t save it for me. Dropped. 

👎🏻 Love Syndrome - Same goes for this one pretty much. I decided to give it a go because I was curious about Frank’s BL comeback but my god it’s terrible. It’s cheap, the plot is strange and the characters are annoying. And what is up with that wig??? I have no words. I can see how this is a spinoff of Unforgotten Night as the quality is similar but with the difference that I liked Itt and Day a lot better in UN. Instantly dropped.

This was actually one of my favs for the year, something about its simplicity and the chemistry between the characters. I mean Bomb and J are like the more wholesome couple. And even the drama wasn't really drama as there was communication. Not to mention the brother dynamics that I loved and isn't really seen in Thai BL. Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow with the special :D Janus in cat ears, those two have a very healthy sex life. Also love how every couple did a pinkie swear in there own unique way.

[kinnporsche-is-life]

So, I watched Venus in the sky and I have to say, I really enjoyed it.

It is a cute little story without a lot of unnecessary angst and there is literally no villain.

There is of course a little bit drama, but it’s more about trust than lack of love. And it’s justified, you have to put a lot of effort to gain trust that was broken once.

Even though most of the plot is based on everyday life of the characters and literary in every episode they are putting goods on the shelves in 7 Eleven and delivering things to clients and stuff like that, I was not bored at all.

It’s that kind of story that put you in ease and relive everyday stress. Just a couple of likeable characters living there life.

I just think it’s kind of a comfort series and I’ll be watching it again sometimes. The relations between characters, even the purely non romantic ones like between brothers or friends are quite devoted and just good to watch. And the chemistry between romantic partners are believable.

Overall, it’s a cute little series and I really recommend to give it a chance.
