SYNOPSIS

My Stand-In (Thai: ตัวนาย ตัวแทน) is a 2024 Thai Boys' Love series produced by YYDS Entertainment as an iQIYI Original. Twelve episodes were released weekly on iQIYI from 26 April to 12 July 2024.

Joe (Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat) is a stuntman who works as a stand-in for Ming (Up Poompat Iam-samang), the heir to a film company he has loved without return for years. After a betrayal and a fatal accident, Joe wakes in another man's body and comes back into Ming's life as someone else. The supporting storylines follow Tong (Jirakit Thawornwong), Sol (Tanathorn Charoenratanaporn), Jim (Possathorn Wittanyaprechapol) and Yim (Chaiyut Panchukiat).

The series is adapted from a Chinese web novel by Shui Qiancheng (水千丞), and was reported at announcement as the first Chinese web novel adapted into a Thai drama.

Adaptation
Adapted from a Chinese web novel by Shui Qiancheng (水千丞). The novel's English title is unsettled: trade press covering the announcement rendered it Stand-In Ship, while the series' own Chinese-language alternate title is 职业替身, which reads as Professional Stand-In. Neither is presented here as correct. The novel was serialised online rather than issued by a named publisher, and no publisher could be confirmed, so none is stated. At announcement the production was reported as the first Chinese web novel to be adapted into a Thai drama.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Twelve episodes on iQIYI, Fridays at 20:00, 26 April to 12 July 2024. Streaming only, with no free-to-air broadcast.
  • Adapted from a Chinese web novel, which is unusual for Thai BL. Thai productions almost always adapt Thai source material.
  • iQIYI released three separate editions at once: a paid uncut version, a free cut version, and a Spanish-dubbed version, each with its own catalogue entry.
  • The episodes are long and get longer. Runtimes climb from 48 minutes to 65 for the finale, with the last four averaging over 61 minutes.
  • Episode titles are literary quotations, drawing on Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare and Dream of the Red Chamber, a nod back to the Chinese-novel origin.
  • Up Poompat Iam-samang took Leading Boys’ Love Star of the Year at the Y Entertain Awards 2024 for this role.
  • The action department is unusually heavy for a romance, fitting for a series whose protagonist is a professional stuntman.

EDITOR’S VERDICT

Recorded, not yet scored.

The premise does something most body-swap stories avoid: it keeps the power gap intact after the swap. Joe does not come back as an equal, he comes back as another employee, and the series has to earn the reconciliation inside the same arrangement that produced the original harm. That is a harder structure than the usual second-chance setup and it is the reason the runtimes creep past an hour by the end.

The production context is worth noting on its own. A Chinese web novel adapted by a Thai studio for a Chinese-owned platform, released in three editions at once including a Spanish dub, is a distribution shape that did not exist in Thai BL a few years ago.

Not scored. This page was built from the production record rather than from a viewing, and BLGLFLIX records a number only once somebody here has watched the full run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is My Stand-In about?

Joe is a stuntman who works as a stand-in for Ming, the film-company heir he has loved without return for years. After a betrayal and a fatal accident, Joe wakes in another man's body and returns to Ming's life as someone else. It is a story about substitution, both as a job and as a condition.

How many episodes does My Stand-In have?

Twelve. Episode lengths run from 48 to 65 minutes rather than a fixed duration, so this page records a range.

When did My Stand-In air?

Fridays at 20:00 Thailand time on iQIYI, from 26 April to 12 July 2024. Twelve consecutive Fridays with no break week.

Was it broadcast on television?

No. It is an iQIYI Original and was released on the platform only.

Who stars in My Stand-In?

Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat plays Joe and Up Poompat Iam-samang plays Ming. The wider cast includes Jirakit Thawornwong as Tong, Tanathorn Charoenratanaporn as Sol, Possathorn Wittanyaprechapol as Jim and Chaiyut Panchukiat as Yim.

Is My Stand-In based on a novel?

Yes, on a Chinese web novel by Shui Qiancheng. This is unusual: Thai Boys' Love almost always adapts Thai source material, and at announcement the production was reported as the first Chinese web novel adapted into a Thai drama. The novel's English title is given differently by different sources and this page records the disagreement rather than choosing one.

Who directed My Stand-In?

Banchorn Vorasataree. A second name, Kongkiat Khomsiri, appears in the credits of this production but the sources do not agree on his role: trade press called him co-director, while the structured credit records list him as action director and the platform omits him. This page credits Banchorn Vorasataree as director and states the disagreement rather than resolving it.

Why are there three versions on iQIYI?

The platform released a paid uncut edition, a free cut edition and a Spanish-dubbed edition simultaneously, each as its own catalogue entry. The link on this page points to the uncut edition.

What age rating does My Stand-In carry?

iQIYI publishes it as TV-MA, which converts to MA in the classification used on this site. That classification is editorial and is not a broadcast certificate. Because the series never went to air on Thai television, no broadcast rating symbol exists for it.

What awards did My Stand-In win?

Up Poompat Iam-samang won Leading Boys' Love Star of the Year at the Y Entertain Awards 2024 for this role. The series itself held nominations it did not win at the same ceremony, including Best BL Series of the Year and Best Production Team of the Year.

Is there a soundtrack on Spotify?

None could be confirmed. The soundtrack songs were published as music videos on the platform's own channels, but we could not verify an official Spotify release, so no link is given rather than an unofficial one.

Why do some of the cast not have profile pages here?

Because we have not written them yet. We open a profile page only once we can research it properly, and we would rather name a performer accurately in the text than publish a thin page about them. The cast who already have pages are linked; the rest are named above.

Why are some fields on this page empty?

An empty field means we could not confirm a value in a source we accept. The novel's publisher, the screenwriter beyond a single unconfirmed credit, and any official Spotify soundtrack are all empty for that reason.
