GMMTV trailer hits 4 million views

- GMMTV dropped the full “When Oranges Fall” trailer on April 29, with Almond Poomsuwan and Progress Passawish leading the Thai BL series. - The official trailer logged about 172,000 YouTube views in its first 16 hours, while GMMTV’s TikTok upload pulled roughly 76,000 likes. - The bigger point is timing — GMMTV shifted from a 2026 pilot push to a May 13 premiere, turning fan buzz into launch-week momentum.

A GMMTV trailer going viral is not unusual. But this one matters because it marks the handoff from teaser-stage hype to an actual release sprint. “When Oranges Fall” got its full official trailer on April 29, and the numbers moved fast right away — not in the vague “fans are excited” way, but in the concrete “this is now a live launch” way. The show premieres on May 13, so this trailer is basically the moment the campaign stopped being speculative and started selling a real series. (youtube.com) ### What is this show, exactly? It’s a Thai youth romance from GMMTV, adapted from the web novel with the very long Thai title that translates to “The Orange Tree Is at Their House, but the Orange Fruits Always Fall at Our House.” The setup is simple and sticky — two boys with the same nickname, neighboring houses, opposite personalities, and a relationship that sta(youtube.com)e is very GMMTV: light, specific, and built for fandom. (mydramalist.com) ### Who’s in it? The leads are Progress Passawish Thamasungkeeti and Almond Poomsuwan Suwansatit. In the trailer description, GMMTV spells out the characters clearly: Almond plays Ko Two, whose oranges keep landing next door, and Progress plays Ko One, the neighbor and classmate who starts off clashing with him. Supporting cast listings also include Ken Kan(mydramalist.com)Keaton Sitthithat Tungtisanon. (youtube.com) ### What changed this week?

The new April 29 trailer is different — it’s the release trailer, tied to a specific air date and broadcast plan. That turns (youtube.com)e show exists. They’re deciding whether to watch on opening week. (youtube.com) ### Are the early numbers actually strong? For a first-day trailer push, yes. The official YouTube upload showed about 172,815 views 16 hours after posting, and GMMTV’s TikTok version showed roughly 76,000 likes and more than 900 comments within hours. Those aren’t “4 million views” numbers on the official uploads we can verify right now. But they are healthy launch(youtube.com)two platforms. (youtube.com) ### Why does the pilot matter here? Because it shows this wasn’t an overnight breakout. The pilot had multilingual fan-sub credits listed right in the YouTube description — Spanish, French, Burmese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian. That’s a useful tell. It means the international BL fandom had already adopted the project months before t(youtube.com), it hit an audience that was already organized and waiting. (youtube.com) ### What’s the release plan? GMMTV says the series starts on May 13, 2026. It will air on Wednesdays at 20:30 on GMM25, with reruns or streaming playback at 21:30 on oneD.
