The first look was unveiled at the announcement of the 2027 slate of the channel. Fans of the K-drama romantic comedy Shooting Stars have a new reason to be excited. GMMTV, television production and talent agent subsidiary, has unveiled the first poster and teaser of its Thai adaptation of the popular Korean drama, with Tu Tontawan Tantivejakul and Gemini Norawit Titicharoenrak stepping into the lead roles.

There is also a small detail that fans of the original drama will recognise. GMMTV shared the poster on its social media accounts along with the hashtag #ShootingStarsSeries. The poster also carries the credit: “Based on the original drama series ‘Sh**ting Stars’ produced by Studio Dragon Corporation and distributed by CJ ENM Co. Ltd. The acknowledgement confirms the show’s connection to the Korean original. The trailer opens with a voiceover: “When people look up at the stars, most only admire them for their beauty. Few ever stop to wonder how those stars shine so brightly. It then takes viewers inside Starforce Entertainment, where the PR team works behind the scenes to keep its celebrities in the spotlight and away from controversy. At the centre of the chaos is Kacha ( Gemini Norawit ), the company’s “number one artist and the PR team’s nightmare. His star status comes with plenty of attitude, leaving the PR team, led by Darin, struggling to keep up. Tu Tontawan plays a strict PR representative who has little patience for Kacha’s antics. Their arguments make for some amusing moments. Their professional clashes soon take a more personal turn, with Kacha letting his guard down around her. During a dance practice, he asks, “There’s no one else here. Will you help me practice? He later tells her, “When I’m with you, it’s like I’m just a normal person. But with you, I feel like someone special. Kacha, however, is not ready to give up. He asks her, “Will you try to fight this with me? Show them that the man they call a star is just an ordinary man who wants to love, too.

The trailer leaves their future hanging with the question, “This mission, this love – will it flop or flourish?”, before ending with Kacha’s heartfelt confession: “Because I can never shine without you.” the trailer definitely suggests that the premise is similar, though it caters to today’s storytelling While the poster does not reveal much about the Thai version’s storyline.

The story follows Oh Han Byul (Lee Sung Kyung), who heads the public relations team at an entertainment agency, and Gong Tae Sung ( Kim Young Dae ), a hugely popular actor whose public image is carefully managed. Han Byul knows better than most how much work goes into keeping his career and reputation on track While Tae Sung is loved by fans. The two share a history that goes back to their university days, and their relationship is anything but smooth. Their frequent arguments and constant teasing gradually turn into something more, making their romance as entertaining as the chaos unfolding around them at work.
