DMD Friendship the Reality is a Thai reality competition show produced by Domundi TV. The program features trainees and artists competing in missions while building chemistry with potential partners. The winning couples are awarded leading roles in boys' love (BL) series produced by Domundi.
The show has currently aired three seasons, all of which are available on YouTube on Mandee Channel. The first season began airing on 17 December 2023.
The show gathers members under Domundi to work together and to get to know one another through different activities, such as modelling, singing and acting. Contestants are paired together to test their compatibility. Winners of each mission are rewarded with "Friendship Time", which allows the winner to spend time and bond with a partner of their choice. Towards the end of each season, contestants have the option to choose a person they wish to be partnered with.
In the final episode, contestants perform on stage in front of a panel of judges. Contestants choose a member to win the Best Friendship Award. The judges then choose a winner for the Best Performance Award, as well as a couple for the Best Partner Award. The winning couple gets the opportunity to star in the lead roles of a series.
