Hi, Come In 嗨！營業中 is a new Taiwanese reality TV show that premiered on October 1, 2022. It is actually the continuation of Let’s Open 來吧！營業中 from earlier this year with most of the same cast. The change with the name was due to conceptual disagreement between the production house and the TV broadcaster after season 1 of Let’s Open and basically split the show in two – one is Hi, Come In from the original production company for a different network to air with all original cast members except one, and the other is Let’s Open season 2 to be produced in-house from the original broadcaster, TVBS, with one original cast member Johnny Yang 楊銘威 since he is the only one contracted with the broadcaster and can’t join the others.

Big Dragon มังกรกินใหญ่ 龍月 (Thai Series OST)
Big Dragon มังกรกินใหญ่ is a new 8-episode Thai BL series that will premiere on October 8, 2022. Interesting that they are also giving it an official Chinese title, 龍月, translated as Dragon Moon. It is adapted from the novel of the same name มังกรกินใหญ่ by Aiden N Vivienne. I read somewhere that apparently the novel is just porn with not much plotlines, LOL, but the series is getting a big hype so I don’t know what to make of it. The theme song is already out so here it is…

To Sir, With Love คุณชาย (Thai Series OST)
To Sir, With Love คุณชาย (Khun Chai) is a new 10-episode (??? updated to 17 episodes?) Thai-style soap opera (lakorn) which will premiere on October 3, 2022. It is a lakorn with LGBTQ+ theme but not necessarily a proper BL series as I think it will be more a soap-opera-type drama with an ensemble cast like last year’s House of the Dark Shadows.
