Since they have already established themselves by viewing several Thai BL dramas per month, people no longer require an introduction to Thai BL dramas. In recent years, Thai BL dramas have raised the bar for themselves. This article discusses the most recent BL drama, The Promise, which will soon release episode 5.

Recap
We saw how Phupha was preparing his dialogue for Romeo and Juliet while puking. We also see Nanfah running towards the restroom as he is worried for his pal and wants to console him asap. There is a change in the current Phupha arrives to deliver something to the place where Nanfah’s is employed at.
When Ken, who is shown to be Nanfah’s supervisor, witnesses Phupha, he suddenly asks whether he should be selected to deliver their opinions. Ken is seen to be believed the idea of Phupha being the sole applicant for this very position.
The reason behind him being the right option is due to his vivacious personality, and he is also well known for one of his music videos.
He made several attempts to plead with Nanfah and somehow let him put his pal in some sort of a supporting role, and she agreed despite her misgivings. When they next met at night, Nanfah asked Phupha if he was willing to be the presenter.
When Phupha understood what his demand was, he tried to let the guy realize that they had already made an agreement that he would never compel him to act and perform on stage. Nnfah was then substituted by none other than Phupha after he somehow broke his bone during the performance of the recent play called Romeo and Juliet scene.
Phupha is shown to be battling with stage fright. He always shied away from participating in any projects and activities that would make him stand out in a massive crowd of others.
He cautions Nanfah that he could forfeit his job if he acts as the presenter and does not want that to occur. Nanfah accepts the option without pushing his pal. At that exact moment, he gets a phone call from Phupha’s relatives, and the two of them converse with them.
It also becomes crystal clear how Phupha has been cooking a story all this time, and Nanfah feels sad to be lied to the entire time about spending these last ten years living in Australia.
His relatives also forewarned him and advised Nanfah to come out with the truth, or he would somehow eventually discover the lie. Phupha says that it’s not the right time, but he will inform him as soon as possible.
We are transported to the next day, where we see Nanpha telling Ken how Phupha is highly reluctant and hesitant to go ahead with the presenter job; Ken reveals how his decision is final and that our group has to try and discover a way to include him.
And when the students’ team gets to learn about their boss’s view, they get to start thinking of ways to bring Phupha in as their presenter. The group tries a number of things, such as tarot cards, life coaches, and Gie Gie’s balm for lips, which was supposed to convince Phupha in accordance with her requests but left her still unwilling to take part.
At some point, Phupha lost his composure and yanked everyone out. As the episode comes to a close, Phupha frets about Nanfah and his job while recalling all the memorable moments the two enjoyed. He finally approaches Nanfah and the three other members of the squad and offers to be their presenter.
