Although BL series are fictional and artistic, many fans prefer that BL actors maintain their on-screen partnerships. However, when one partner is unable to continue, the BL couple often ends. There are two main reasons for this. First, if one actor leaves the agency, the other must find a new partner. Pairing actors from different agencies can be challenging due to financial and contractual complications related to events, promotions, concerts, and commercial activities. As a result, agencies tend to pair their in-house actors rather than freelance or external actors. Second, actors may choose to focus on individual projects, sometimes wanting to step out of the shadow of their previous BL pairing. For instance, GMMTV’s actor Chimon decided not to pair with Perth anymore, and Ohm Pawat and Nanon Korapat also chose not to continue as a duo.
In this video, we will discuss five BL actors with new on-screen partners in their upcoming series.
Number 1: Fluke Gawin
Fluke has participated in various BL series as both a supporting and lead actor. Last year, he took the lead role in “Be My Favourite” alongside Krist Perawat. Initially, Mike Chinnarat was supposed to star, but his departure from GMMTV allowed Fluke to step in. This year, Krist reunited with his long-term BL partner, Singto Prachaya, leaving Fluke in need of a new on-screen partner.
GMMTV has created an exciting new pairing by teaming Fluke with Joss Way. Joss, known for his strong fan base and his roles in non-BL series, brings a handsome and manly presence to the screen.
Joss and Fluke will lead in GMMTV’s upcoming BL drama, “My Golden Blood,” which has already begun filming. The series tells the story of a vampire and a human with rare, irresistible blood. Joss plays the vampire Mark, while Fluke plays Tong. The series is expected to be released later this year.
Number 2: Perth Tanapon

Perth was initially set to pair with Chimon in GMMTV’s upcoming BL series, “Perfect 10 Liners.” However, Chimon withdrew from the series due to mental health reasons and decided to take a break from BL projects. GMMTV then substituted Santa Pongsapak in his place.
Santa has previously appeared in several BL series, including “7 Project” and “My Only 12%.”
Fans will see the new PerthSanta duo in “Perfect 10 Liners.”

Jeff takes the lead role in GDH’s new project, “The Paradise of Thorns,” playing the character Thorns. Keng Harit co-stars as Jeff’s boyfriend.
