I Flower You - Character Summaries

Job Thuchapon is “Phak” | “A big Samoyed dog” perfectly describes “Phak” a passionate young businessman who has turned to running a funeral service company in Kanchanaburi. Though he appears composed and reliable on the outside, when he falls for a young florist, Phak becomes too shy to confess his feelings directly. Instead, he chooses to approach him little by little with sincerity and gentle care. In the end, will Phak’s softness be enough to open the florist’s heart?

Nice Boripat is “Nich” | “A Shih Tzu dog” perfectly defines “Nich” a young florist from Kanchanaburi who cherishes peace and strongly values his independence. He tends to stay within his comfort zone, keeping his heart tightly closed due to wounds from the past that make it hard for him to open up to anyone. Nich’s quiet stubbornness becomes a difficult challenge for Phak, who slowly and sincerely tries to break through his walls. In the end, will the warmth of the “Samoyed like” young man be enough to help Nich tear down the barriers around his heart and embrace love once again?

Guide Kantapon is “Wit” | “Wit,” a young veterinarian in the community, is Nich’s closest confidant so close that he becomes Phak’s number one rival in love. However, when he meets “Phat,” Phak’s mischievous younger brother who barges into his life to keep him away from Nich, things begin to shift. Phat’s stubbornness and boundless energy unexpectedly capture Wit’s attention, slowly pulling his focus away from Nich and toward the troublemaker instead. In the end, will the chaos Phat brings be enough to make the dog-loving doctor’s heart waver?

Dech Narongdet is “Phat” | “Phat,” Phak’s mischievous younger brother, is a high energy cosplay content creator. He uses his cunning charm to keep “Wit” away from Nich, hoping to help his older brother succeed in love. However, while he’s busy getting in Wit’s way, Phat doesn’t realize that he’s slowly falling hard for the dog loving doctor himself. What begins as playful interference turns into a “troublemaking cat and dog doctor” kind of relationship one that brings smiles and color to the entire community.

Some personal observations:

For this year's projects from Dee Hup House, we finally get to almost all of the actors under Dee Hup's management (Nice, Tee, Heng) in full-scale productions that they helmed (No, I don't count the three short vertical series they just put out). While Guide is continuing his partnership with Dech and they have Bling Bling, produced by Copy A Bangkok (Dech's management).

As Nice is yet again partnering up with someone new, Dee Hup House/Tee Bundit has once again maintain their record of constantly pairing up new actors in a series together.

TeeHeng will be the first two actors/fixed couple?/branded pairing? under Dee Hup House to get a series from them. Whether we get a second series from them, perhaps entirely relies on the success of Don't Be Too Emotional.

Donut Phattharapon is more known as one of the younger generation CH7 pra ek actors like Euro Yotsawat. He will also be partnering up with Korn Palat in Lust, a Me Mind Y x iQIYI Thailand Original Series.

Don't Be Too Emotional marks the second time Tee Bundit has worked on an original BL series for iQIYI Thailand after The Love Never Sets (other series he's directed on that are available for streaming on iQIYI includes TharnType and Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart!). I'd say that this move indicates close connections being formed between iQIYI Thailand and Dee Hup House, which had always been historically closer associated to another rival platform WeTV (Lovely Writer, Step by Step, I Feel You Linger in the Air, I Saw You in My Dream, Knock Out)

If I had to make a guess, I'm predicting that I Flower You will be distributed for streaming on WeTV and airing on CH3 (late evening 10:30 PM time slot), similar arrangement to GL series Love Design.

Don't Be Too Emotional is a novel that Dee Hup House has bought the adaptation right to since 2021. Tee Bundit admitted that DHH is notorious for holding/keeping the rights to these novels but the novel author expressed their appreciation to DHH for keeping them involved in the creative process all along.

3. Before You Left กาลครั้งใหม่

This one flew a bit under the radar because it was actually announced at the press conference for the launch of MJ Artist Management - the joint adventure of Up Poompat's JustUp and Moo Polpat Asavaprapha's ASA Studio (the production house behind Mandate). I discussed briefly about Moo Asava and how ASA Studio was formed in this ask and I had linked a video for with 3 Nitade Chula (Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Communication Arts) Moo, Up and PJ Mahidol (Gelboys). Fun fact: Up Poompat was also partly the reason Ben Bunyapol got cast in Mandate because Up was introducing Ben his Nitade Chula senior P'Moo at his fashion show.

To briefly summarise the press conference, the first thing that they brought up was that these four people were all Nitade Chula alumni (P'Justin, Up's manager, is from batch 45, Up is from 49, producers Jong and Moo are both from batch 25 (and to give you some perspective, PJ Mahidol is batch 58). So after establishing ASA Studio (which is created solely for Moo and Jong to satisfy their creative pursuits of making series/films), P'Moo thought they should complete the cycle/loop by also manage artists' activities post-series as well but they don't have the know-hows for that so they thought of contacting their beloved Nitade Chula juniors who might have more experience in this than them -> leading to the collaboration of P'Justin, Up, P'Jong and P'Moo.

According to the press release, there will definitely be two series from Asa Studio and all the (lead?) actors in the series will be under MJ Artist Management. Both series will be for MONOMAX. ASA Studio aim to produce more than two series in 2026 (since they also have plans for a GL series and other undisclosed projects), but these two specific projects are just the ones being announced because they start filming soon and have confirmed release dates already for 2026 from MONOMAX.

So that's just a long winded way to say there's probably another Tee Bundit-directed series coming in 2026 other than the two projects announced by Dee Hup House themselves (unless some earth shattering events happen and Tee Bundit is not attached anymore to this). Also unrelated but somewhat related is I find it fascinating P'Justin explaining how they aim to achieve all the post-series activities like make music videos, fanmeetings, merch, concert for artists under their produced series 'to complete the loop' of a series. I thought it's fascinating to describe QL series to have a lifecycle of their own in terms of promotions so that it's not just pre/post production but also the promotional run during airing and after the promotional run of a QL series where as your average lakorn series kind of ends for everyone the minute the last episode airs.

--------------------------------

So yeah, that's all the info dumping for this post. I was actually waiting for someone to update the two Dee Hup House series but since no one is doing the reporting on here, I thought might as well be the one to break the news about all the upcoming DHH series as your resident one-time pairing enthusiast.
