Synopsis

edit

Atom (Nattawat Jirochtikul), a clumsy, easily frightened and energetic junior at Keerinsamutr School, has a secret crush on Mudmee (Pathitta Pornchumroenrut), the sincere and caring girl who sits next to him in class. One day, Mudmee lends Atom her eraser, on which he discovers the name of Kongthap (Norawit Titicharoenrak), the kind and handsome basketball player who sits just in front of him. Stunned by this revelation, Atom drops the eraser by accident, only for it to be picked up by Kongthap himself.

Some believe that if they write the name of their crush on an eraser, when the eraser is used up, their wish for love will come true. Not wanting to expose Mudmee's secret, Atom claims that the eraser belongs to him instead. However, this causes Kongthap to misunderstand, thinking that Atom has a crush on him.

Production

edit

Following the success of My School President (2022), GMMTV announced on 19 July 2023, that Gemini Norawit and Fourth Nattawat would no longer take part in the GL series 23.5 (2024), in order to prepare for their roles in a new series together.[14]

On 17 October 2023, during the GMMTV "UP & ABOVE PART 1" event, this series was later revealed to be My Love Mix-Up! (2024), reuniting Gemini and Fourth with the director of My School President (2022), Au Kornprom.[2] Director Au Kornprom stated that the series would be an adaptation of the nine volumes of the Japanese manga series My Love Mix-Up! written by Wataru Hinekura and illustrated by Aruko.[15]

Filming

edit

Principal photography began on 6 January 2024 and concluded on 29 March 2024.[16][17]

Si Racha was chosen as the primary setting of the series, where elements of Japanese culture can be found mixed with Thai culture, due to the presence of many Japanese workers in the district.[18] Director Au Kornprom stated that he wanted the series to be reminiscent of Japan, as a nod to the original work, but he also wanted to add elements that made the series feel distinctively Thai, including food, clothes, and music.[19]

Filming locations include outdoor camping in Nakhon Nayok, J-Park Nihon Mura and Wat Khao Thabaek Skywalk in Si Racha, and Hua Lamphong railway station in Bangkok.[19]
