The Start of Communal Living
Seven unique participants—including a natural airhead, a big brother type, a shy guy, and a mood-maker—board a yacht one by one. After enduring seasickness, they finally enjoy a meal. Upon arrival at their lodging, they immediately begin choosing characters for the CP (couple pairing) roles they’ll play the next day.
Advice from Senior Actors
On the second morning, the participants enjoy a lively breakfast together. In the living room, they discover scripts prepared for each CP. As curiosity rises, a mentor actor arrives to share expert tips on how to act in BL roles.
The Eighth Arrival
After watching four recorded skits, each participant reflects on their performances. That night, they switch roommates. The next morning, the mysterious eighth participant arrives, and they all head out together on a bike trip to an unknown destination.
Facing Emotions
Split into two teams, participants enjoy shrimp fishing and green onion harvesting. Some bond regardless of pairing, while others struggle to join conversations. In the afternoon’s “emotional release” workshop, they revisit unforgettable moments from their past.
Acting Is Hard
On the third night, room assignments change again. Each room is assigned an acting theme: "parting," "heartbreak," "a third party," and "misunderstanding." The next morning, a new mentor actor arrives, and new scripts are distributed.
Characters Are Taking Shape
A “funny story” session during dinner flops, but then they hold a viewing of their drama footage. By the fourth day of living together, their emotional openness brings noticeable changes to their acting. Will new relationships form?
Advice from the BL Prince
On the fifth morning, a mentor known as the “BL Prince of Thailand” arrives. Under his guidance, participants perform romantic scenes using only facial expressions and body language. Inspired by his breathtaking demonstration, they tackle the challenge.
Cookie Gifts
On the afternoon of day five, participants enjoy baking cookies. Each creates a unique batch and must choose one person to give them to. Some may receive none—others, more than one.
Ideal Couples
On the fifth night, two participants are given the power to assign rooms and create what they believe are the “ideal CPs.” The next day, the final outing begins. Participants freely choose one of three cars, each heading to an unknown location.
Breaking a Sweat Together
While the studio guests try to predict which CPs will succeed, some participants remain hard to read. Divided into groups for aerial yoga, karate, and wood-fired oven baking, they each struggle but manage to make lasting memories.
Around the Campfire
On the final night, they gather around a campfire to talk about how their feelings have changed over six days. The next day, each must choose a partner and confess—only matched CPs get to act in the final BL drama. Choosing someone likely to choose you becomes a real strategy.
A Dramatic Conclusion
On the final day, everyone writes down the name of the person they want to form a CP with. Two undecided participants consult a tarot reader whose convincing reading helps them make up their minds. Will the studio's predictions be accurate?
