[Do you want to download GELBOY 05]

[Who is GELBOY05?]

I just went to check X.

and people thought Ta was GELBOY 05.

[Pide Monthapoom as Chian; New Chayapak as Fou4mod]

Really?

Yeah.

Felt like it had to be a character with a backstory so there'd be more to work with.

[Leon Zech as Bua; PJ Mahidol as Baabin]

Right, I'm not GELBOY 05.

[Ta Taninrat, Director of Photography]

[Not GELBOY 05; Not GELBOY 06]

nor the GELBOY 06,

nor 07, 08, 09, or anything like that.

[Not GELBOY 07, 08, 09]

Well,

I'm the Director of Photography.

[Second Assistant Director Watjakorn Hankoon]

I think he will appear as a stumbling block for these four people.

[Prangprank, Co-Director]

He must look mature,

and look like he can destroy their relationship.

Maybe a third party.

[Casting / Artist Manager, Bow Angkana]

I feel like he will be someone like that.

[Artist Manager, Pao Arthit]

Talkative.

Looks hyped up, like someone who talks a lot.

I don't know, but watch yourself, don't get too cocky.

Welcome to the world of GELBOYS.

[Welcome to the world of GELBOYS]

I was here first in this area, bro.

[GELBOYS Season 2]

[EP 0.5]

Hello.

Hi, everyone, my name is Mye Nattapat Permpongpanth.

Height is 175 cm,

weight is 55 kg.

Okay.

Currently 18 years old.

18 years old.

[Mye]

Please show us your side profile.

At that time,

it was like,

[Mye Nattapat as Baby]

a senior who worked at a talent agency messaged me saying,

"Hey,

are you interested in this series?"

At the time it happened to be

right around when I got into university.

At that time, I only knew it was GELBOYS.

And then I was just

really excited,

because I had watched season 1.

And I was obsessed with it back then.

I'd even gotten my nails done.

Right.

Actually there was a trending topic at the time.

[Director, Es Prinwat,]

This topic suddenly blew up on the internet.

It was

that photo of Mye.

It seems to be a photo of him sitting on the BTS.

Then,

everyone retweeted and mentioned,

"Oh my god, he looks like Phutatchai."

Then,

that video,

it went really viral.

[I was shocked, thought it was Phu at 14. And the mole is on the same side, insane]

When we looked into it,

we found out that

he is a cheerleader.

A cheerleader at Bangkok Christian College.

[Cheerleader]

And it just so happened that there was

this young man,

who is

Peem.

Introduce yourself.

Starting with name, age, height, and weight.

[Peem]

Hello, everyone.

I'm Peem Veeravit Sodsrisuwan.

I'm 180 cm tall

and weigh 52 kg.

I'm 18 years old.

I go to Bangkok Christian School.

But suddenly,

they told me,

"Can you come for an audition tomorrow?"

[Peem Veeravit as Gelz]

So I rushed straight from the province

to Bangkok for the audition.

It was the final casting round.

And then,

before I knew it,

they informed me that I passed.

I was...

shocked

but also very happy.

Because

it's like,

season 1

was really popular.

Even I had heard of it.

And I also had to

partner with Mye.

More importantly, we're childhood friends who grew up together since primary school.

You can see that

when they're already friends,

all kinds of

diverse possibilities can spark from that.

For example,

they can just

talk about

all sorts of things and get each other's jokes,

even things that aren't in the script at all.

What time are you planning to go?

What time is it now? It's already 4:00 PM.

Then let's go at 4:05 PM.

I'll go later.

I want to lie here and scroll my phone for a while.

Are you sure you won't be late again this time?

Pfft, I think I run pretty fast.

I think this goes back,

back to

Ayu...

What?

The Ayutthaya period.

It's Bangkok Christian School.

Bangkok Christian School.

♪ Don't keep me hanging, let's fall in love already, baby. ♪

♪ Can we go public and debut as a couple? ♪

♪ But you have to admit you like me ♪

Okay.

I'm going to start.

This episode is called

Stan-Style Romance.

[Stan-Style Romance]

Even though we've already told the story of stans,

and the story of lovers,

we should have

something representative to tell

about the bond between the GELBOYS.

Uh, how else can we tell it?

So an idea came up.

What if something happened,

like if

the GELBOYS

had kids?

I think the challenge is

[Acting Coach, Romchat Tanalappipat]

they don't really know

how their fathers' feelings actually were,

and they don't know what they had been through.

[Workshop Scene]

I think

it might be that innocence. The innocence and cuteness.

That is to say,

what the next generation would turn out to be like,

that's what they need to bring into the character.

And from there,

use it to spark a new form of chemistry.

Okay, does the loser or the winner go first?

The loser goes first.

Oh, then I can go first.

We each start from opposite ends,

and then it'll

how should I put it, perfectly balance in the middle,

and eventually meet in the middle.

And then,

I'm actually someone who is not very used to physical contact.

It's like,

I'm not used to people touching my body.

I also don't take the initiative to touch others.

But the problem is,

I happen to be someone who is quite used to physical contact,

whether with friends or other people.

So,

I think this is also

a quite big challenge.

I think we should find

a balanced middle ground,

so that both of us can accept it calmly.

Both sides feel fine with it.

Understand each other and find it acceptable.

Right.

Having the courage to go through with that gesture.

That wasn't right just now, it didn't feel like it.

Maybe the emotion didn't come through.

Let's do it again.

Yeah.

Just like that.

Good.

You know what it represents.

You have to show it.

The purpose of setting up that scene

was to let these two kids

break down their defenses,

so that they can

be braver about getting closer to each other.

Be brave enough to

look each other in the eye.

Be brave enough to show deeper emotion,

and become more familiar with each other.

Let's go get some ice cream later.

Let's talk about today first.

How did you feel just now?

Ah.

Today I learned...

Learned what?

Learned...

What was it called?

Touching each other's bodies.

No, it's building relaxation and...

What's the word again?

I don't know, anyway, it's

in the workshop,

touching.

Calmly accepting touches, like...

Right.

That touch.

To contact, to touch each other.

Right.

Made contact.

The whole body made contact.

Did you ship it?

Don't be like that.

The current problem is

[Acting Coach Shell]

that the rookies have too few acting tools,

and they still don't understand

where they should place

their reason,

focus,

[Basic Acting Class]

and tension,

or how to adjust their state in order to

perform very confidently, smoothly, and naturally.

Our duty is to help them clear all those stumbling blocks

and let the kids' true personalities shine through in their performances.

Look, the title here is what I learned.

The main idea is

to focus. Our minds must live in the present.

When we perform, we must stay

immersed in the specific situation of the moment,

rather than

showing our true selves outside the play.

Our hearts must be with the character.

As for focus, we must also maintain it.

For example, when we are talking to our co-stars,

we must put all our focus on them,

instead of suddenly hearing a clatter behind us,

or looking at the camera when we see it moving over.

Actors must never look at the camera.

Did you write this down stroke by stroke during class?

I sleep through all my classes.

As for the exercises themselves,

maybe we need to package them more like games,

which can motivate them to want to learn and understand these things.

This will be much easier than rigid preaching.

We must learn through entertainment.

The two of us are sumo wrestlers now.

Then we look into each other's eyes.

We can't look away from each other.

And we can only touch each other's hands.

Whatever method you use, just make the other person lose their center of gravity.

You might sway a little, or various things could happen.

If anyone loses their balance,

the other person wins. The one who loses balance loses.

During this process, you must maintain eye contact the whole time,

and you can only touch hands.

Can I push hard?

Yes, you can do whatever you want.

But if you touch other parts of the opponent's body, you lose.

We must be careful not to touch randomly.

We can only touch hands.

Ah, eyes. Look into my eyes first.

Ready,

go.

Lost.

Come on.

Ah, lost.

You must maintain eye contact the whole time.

Coach, please count for us.

Ah, I'll count.

I'll be the referee for you later.

Ready.

Go.

You touched, that's one loss.

Ah, it's 1 to 0.

Whoever gets 3 to 0 first... we'll see later.

Go.

What should the loser do? Do 10 jumping jacks.

The winner has to clap and cheer for them.

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

When both people can honestly face what they want to do in their hearts,

and are not afraid, tense, or overly polite,

the two of them actually

often have those moments of opening their hearts to each other.

I feel like I understand more now because

in the first class with Shell,

he made us

build an understanding of each other

and communicate without holding anything back.

It was like, um, whether we thought it was okay or not,

how we wanted to act,

what kind, which direction to take,

and things like that.

He had us talk everything out.

Because this is really the first time.

It felt like,

even though we've worked together

and known each other for 12 or 13 years,

it was the first time we could open up to each other like this.

-Open up. -Talk deeply.

And then it let us...

see a lot of aspects we usually wouldn't.

We understand each other much better.

We really understood each other on many things.

So where are you two going after this is over?

To Siam Square.

[Siam Square]

We're here for a special nail art training today.

To practice before we start shooting for real.

We really invested a lot.

It feels a lot like,

a lot like archaeologists.

-Like... digging for fossils. -Are you digging for fossils?

Let's see the finished product then.

It's awesome.

It looks like it was done by a professional manicurist.

As for the GELBOYS,

once they have kids,

I feel like their kids

would definitely have to be friends too.

Very similar to their dads' little group of friends.

I think this is a pair of best friends.

Best friends, or a pair of nail art partners.

They are very in sync.

They know each other incredibly well,

even to the point of thinking for the other person,

understanding the other's crazy ideas and such.

Ouch.

Peem.

If it were me,

if I raised my big foot and kicked you in the face...

I messed up.

The nail polish that was on my toe

would end up on your face.

I messed up. Sorry.

Done.

I messed up. Sorry, sorry.

Hey, why is it so inaccurate?

[Gelz]

Gelz and Baby's first day of shooting.

[Peem-Mye's First Day of Shooting]

I was really very nervous.

Last night, I just sat there staring at the script

because I was worried I wouldn't remember my lines, and then,

worried if I could really express the emotions right.

Even though I tried not to think about it when sleeping, it kept playing in my head.

The first thing I thought of when I woke up was this.

As soon as I woke up, I felt...

I woke up feeling like I wasn't Mye anymore.

I woke up feeling like I was Baby.

[On Set]

It's like,

just like what Peem said.

Shy and a bit nervous in unfamiliar places.

Along with all sorts of other things, this seems to be the first time

we can try to

put the acting skills we've learned

to the test in a real-world scenario for the first time.

Right.

To really apply it.

Apply it on set.

Actually, that day...

I was really nervous.

Because

these two kids

have never acted together before.

This is their first time facing the camera in their lives.

I still remember that day.

Peem and Mye

were completely tense.

They were really nervous at that time.

I remember I had to walk over and hold their hands like this.

-I was nervous. -He was super nervous.

Hands were freezing.

There was already a line in the script about cold hands.

And now his hands were actually really cold.

-Now Baby's hands are colder than in the script. -Get it?

-Got it. -Got what freezing hands feel like.

Understood.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You got this.

We can do another take.

Take your time.

Just follow your feelings and act as you prepared.

That day I truly understood the mindset of a "mom fan."

I understood what it was like.

Es is a very patient person.

-Right. -He's very patient and a lovely person.

Every time we went to the set, since we were rookie actors after all,

Es wouldn't put any pressure on us.

But he would slowly guide us, saying,

"Do you want to try adding this and that here?"

It's like he was teaching us how to think with the plot.

Letting us slowly figure it out ourselves.

-Letting us truly understand. -Right.

Instead of rigidly forcing us to do this or that.

Super excited. I've been following him for a long time.

P'Leon.

Yes.

I'm a super fan.

I saw him on TikTok.

What about the other guys? Aren't you their fan?

-Oh, I'm a fan of all of them. -Everyone.

I've been waiting to meet all the senior stars.

Love them so much.

Nice to meet you, sir.

Nice to meet you.

Anime guy I like.

I like anime.

-Wow. -Where are you from?

-I'm from Germany. -I'm from home.

Home?

Where are you from?

Korea?

-No. -Japan?

No.

Japan.

China?

Rama.

Rama?

Yes, I'm from Rama.

From Rama?

Rama II Road.

Rama II Road.

Oh my god, man.

I'm finally relieved.

Good luck.

Love you. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, bro.

Shopping.

How should I put it? At first, we were actually a bit unsure.

We weren't sure if these two kids,

after joining GELBOYS, which already had four members,

would be on the same wavelength as us,

and if we could get along.

But I think these two kids actually

have a lot of room to fit in with us.

And we welcomed them from day one.

Hey, how's it going, Peem?

What's up? And things like that.

They both have a lot of charm. And once they are together,

suddenly it's like, wow, they're pretty funny.

Like this, they seem quite cute to get along with.

PJ is also the kind of guy

who's weird but pretty funny.

He's interesting. Suddenly he'd say,

Hey, little bro.

My man.

He'd just pop up and say, "Hey, what's up with you?"

He did it.

He's the one who did it.

Do you have anything to say to them?

Act well, nong.

Just kidding.

Keep it up.

So much pressure.

You can do it.

It's starting.

Remember the first time I saw Peem in workshop?

We were taking a workshop together or something.

And Peem seemed a bit unconfident,

or he got scolded or something.

I felt like, hey, I was looking at my past self.

I went over, held Peem's hand, and said, "It's okay, take your time."

Yeah, seeing Peem and Mye is like seeing myself,

the me from two or three years ago.

I had just auditioned for this show then,

and just started workshops.

P'Pide.

He seems like a funny and humorous guy

who can take a joke. "Hey, bro," and things like that.

They are both very cute.

Very cute.

They make you feel like

you absolutely can't hate them at first sight.

Right.

And I also feel like they are the kind of kids

who are studying hard and curious

about all kinds of new things.

I feel like I had that same drive when I was younger.

So I feel like it's a mirror.

The most important thing is to keep that desire for work...

The passion or dedication to work.

The last one is P'Leon.

He's kind of sweet, gentle, and considerate.

For example, he'd ask, "Um, how's it going, Peem?"

Yeah.

But Leon is actually quite funny.

He's both warm and humorous.

He has a dry sense of humor.

On the day we shot the first scene,

we happened to be grouped together or

something like that.

I really wanted to help them out then.

If I could be of any help,

I'd keep an eye on how they were doing.

And then,

"Hey, how's this part?" and so on.

Because

I saw my past self in them.

Because both of them used to be print models,

and that was what they did.

They had never acted before.

And this happened to be their first time acting in a TV series.

So I immediately saw my past self in them,

which was when I was a print model in Khon Kaen,

and suddenly got to act in such a big production.

Who makes me feel the warmest?

I think everyone is warm,

but in their own different ways.

Yeah, right. Each has their own merits.

Yes.

At first, to be honest, I was really super tense.

This is working with big stars.

Right, working with big celebrities.

When we first joined,

we were completely starstruck.

But everyone was very welcoming to us,

welcoming us very warmly.

Right, they had no airs at all.

Everyone was really super cute.

Exactly.

When Boss asked if we wanted to do season 2,

I answered immediately.

I said let's do it as soon as possible!

Even though at that time, it hadn't been decided that I would be the director.

But I said back then,

I hoped this series could be renewed.

I felt

there should still be, for example,

many stories worth telling.

That is, the stories of these four main characters.

Although GELBOYS Season 2

will have a brand new storyline,

and maybe in some audio-visual styles and tones,

it will be different from the first season or something like that.

But,

what I think we absolutely cannot discard,

is the unique core specific to GELBOYS.

[GELBOY 01-04]

The four of us in GELBOYS

are like we've been through a world war together.

You know what I mean?

We are literally like the Avengers.

The advantage of the four of us is that

we are definitely not the kind of people who,

when things happen, blame each other.

We choose to move forward hand in hand.

And it's always been like this.

Whether it's strengths, weaknesses, highlights, or shortcomings,

when we shoot every scene,

we always help each other find the best acting state.

For instance, this time,

acting with New gives me a feeling of,

hey, I really enjoy it.

Because we spend time together every day now,

I can tell what Pide is thinking at a glance.

And then,

compared to the first season,

because we have become more synchronized and in tune with each other,

when they count down "5, 4, 3, 2" on set, we can nail it in one take.

And it's always been this way.

I also always say that Pide is actually like

my great partner.

I'm really, really happy to be able to

be by his side and act together with him.

Believe it or not, I actually thought about this before.

That is to say, to answer directly,

I feel that GELBOYS is everything.

It's everything in my life, things like that.

Well,

I started participating in GELBOYS Season1 around my sophomore year.

And I've kept at it until I've already graduated now.

I also learned a lot from Leon.

Like observing many things from him.

Whether in terms of acting or in our daily lives,

because we spend time together every day,

working and seeing each other almost daily,

I get to see things like

his lifestyle.

So I unconsciously adjust myself following Leon.

For instance, I try to work out and focus on health.

I occasionally eat healthy light meals.

Although not very frequently,

I also choose to try hard to follow those good living habits.

Or even our dressing styles are the same.

We influence each other.

I will also recommend some things to him.

Sometimes I will ask him, "Where did you buy this?" and such.

We have completely blended together.

I feel like I met a very good partner,

even more than before, we can understand each other's thoughts with just a look.

If someone could time travel from the future two years later back to that day

and tell me,

"Leon, you will achieve these things in the future,

perform in concerts, attend those events,

and become an ambassador for many brands, etc."

I definitely wouldn't believe it.

Because this is just a TV series.

But up to today,

all of this is no longer just a series.

Personally, this is family.

I think it's actually not hard to get familiar with someone.

But after getting familiar, and truly understand each other deeply,

it's something that only comes by chance.

And I feel that PJ and I have already achieved this understanding.

We've been together for over a year.

Starting from workshops, from costume fitting,

we didn't know each other then, didn't know this guy,

didn't know who he was.

Now we almost know everything about each other.

Our relationship is no longer just working partners,

but two people who truly understand each other.

So even today, I still feel very grateful.

I also feel really lucky to have PJ as my partner.

Well,

this is the end of the special episode.

If you want to watch episode 1,

please look forward to it.

Bye-bye.

Thank you very much.

GELBOYS.

Bye-bye.

Also, thank you so much to all the

Water Lily fans who came to watch the special episode.

Hope we can meet in the official episodes.

Or if we've already met in the series,

we might bump into each other off-screen.

Maybe we'll have a chance to stroll around Siam Square.

Don't forget to get your nails done, don't forget to eat your favorite food.

And don't forget to live the life you want.

Bye-bye.

I really love this season. You guys must watch it.
