Replay (2026) Pilot Trailer

So... this happen: Explanation of Replay’s cancellation, copied and pasted exactly from what a respected Thai translation account (well-known among Polcas on X) @wittysmirk has stated: To understand why this problem is genuinely serious and why so many people are speaking out in an organized way, we need to look back at how the writer Julalumpa began on the online fiction platform Joylada. ❗️Joylada has one very clear rule: “Fanfiction must not be monetized.” This rule exists because fanfic is created within a space of love from fans. It is not meant to be a commercial space, and it should never be used to turn the real image of artists into private profit. However, the writer of Replay found a way around this rule by using loopholes in the platform and placing fanfiction behind a paywall. The revenue reportedly reached the multi-million baht level. This was the starting point of the entire controversy. ‼️Replay began as fanfiction. It was not an original work. It did not start with new characters built from zero. It used the direct image of real artists. 💠 Replay writer did not use “inspiration.” She used the actual image of the artists This is the part many people misunderstand completely. Works that are inspiration based rely on: – archetypes – dynamics – mood and tone ‼️ Replay and other stories are an entirely different case. The writer used: – names or name formats resembling the artists – the artists’ personalities and character traits – the real image and chemistry of the actual pairing – interactions based on real artists – the fanbase of those artists as the primary market All of this was done to boost the popularity of the fanfic and eventually place it behind a paywall to generate significant income. This is not inspiration. This is the systematic commercial use of the artists’ identity. ❣️To put it plainly: It is the equivalent of using an artist’s face to run a business without their knowledge, without permission, and without giving them a single baht. Under personality rights, this is a clear violation. 💠 The most painful point is that the writer abandoned the artists once the money was made One of the strongest criticisms is that she abandons artists, doesn’t fangirl or support them, yet still uses their names for profit. After earning substantial income, the writer of the stories reportedly: – removed the artists’ image – changed all the character names – repackaged the same work as an “original novel” This is what many people found unacceptable. It showed a lack of respect toward both the artists and the fans who supported the work in its early stages. 💠 The impact was so severe that Joylada nearly collapsed The drama did not stay limited to social media. It eventually affected the structure of the platform itself. The results were significant: – readers lost trust – users felt unprotected by the platform – a massive portion of the community abandoned Joylada – a strong backlash became one of the platform’s biggest crises Many people expressed the same conclusion: “This was the downfall of Joylada.” The starting point of this crisis was the case involving the writer of Replay. 💠 This issue is not small. It is not drama created by a few fans. It is not temporary chaos This situation: – destabilized an fiction platform – involved huge financial impact – drove away a large number of users – created long lasting distrust that still remains today The writer has never taken clear responsibility for the damage caused. And she once stated that she would stop and would no longer involve herself with this kind of content. However, she eventually continued doing it anyway. Her lack of consistency has made people question her credibility and created serious concern among everyone following the situation. Therefore, when our artists are now being associated with a work that carries this history, fans have no choice but to speak up. This is not a small issue, and it was never something to overlook.
