11 Hot Thai GL Series
Petrichor (2024)
Our Rating: 👑👑👑👑
Release Date: 2024
Main Role:
Review: Coming to screens on November 23, 2024, this highly anticipated Thai GL series brings a fresh twist to the crime drama genre. Based on the popular web novel “Rust in the Rain” (หยดฝนกลิ่นสนิม) by writing duo 1617 (DobbyMANU7 and hitokage), “Petrichor” weaves together professional tension and slow-burning romance in Bangkok’s criminal justice system.
The story follows rookie detective Captain Tul, whose by-the-book approach to police work clashes with the analytical methodology of forensic scientist Dr. Cherran. As they navigate complex criminal cases, social pressures, and institutional corruption, their initial friction evolves into deep mutual respect and something more.
What sets “Petrichor” apart is its commitment to tackling serious social issues while developing an authentic relationship between its leads. Unlike typical procedural dramas, it explores how two women in male-dominated fields find strength in each other while pursuing justice.
This series joins the growing lineup of quality Thai GL content that combines genre elements with LGBTQ+ storytelling. For fans of crime dramas and slow-burn romance, “Petrichor” promises to be a compelling addition to 2024’s must-watch list.
Pluto (TV Series 2024)
Our Rating: 👑👑👑👑
Release Date: 2024
Main Role:
Review: The year 2024 marks a defining moment for the universe of Thai GL dramas created by renowned author Chao Planoy, whose works include Affair, Gap the Series, Blank the Series, and now Pluto.
Pluto tells the gripping story of twin sisters Ob-oom and Ai-oon. On the day of Ob-oom’s wedding, she asks Ai-oon to help her break off an affair with her lover, May. However, tragedy strikes when the newlyweds are involved in a car accident that leaves Ob-oom in a coma. Determined to fulfill her sister’s last request, Ai-oon seeks out May to end the relationship—only to discover that May is not only a woman but also blind.
Unable to break up with May as planned, Ai-oon makes the unexpected decision to impersonate her sister and continue the relationship.
Produced by GMM25, the studio behind 23.5, the drama explores deep social themes, such as accessibility and support for the disabled. A particularly powerful moment in Episode 3 highlights these issues when May, a blind lawyer, is injured by a fallen signboard in an improperly maintained alley.
Namtan, who plays the dual roles of Ob-oom and Ai-oon, and Flim, who stars as May, deliver stellar performances, earning them widespread praise as Thailand’s newest on-screen power couple, dubbed “NamtanFilm” by fans.
The 12-episode series is currently airing, with upcoming episodes promising intense twists and emotional highs as Ai-oon and May’s relationship reaches its most passionate and dramatic phase.
