“Gap: The Series” was produced by Idol Factory in 2022, breaking new ground in Thai television which had previously been dominated by Boys’ Love (BL) dramas. Prior to 2022, GL relationships had only appeared as subplots within BL stories.
The series faced unique challenges during production. The adult themes and intimate scenes required careful handling, especially considering that one of the lead actresses, Becky Armstrong, was only 20 years old during filming—technically too young to even watch the finished product, which was rated for viewers 21 and older.

Plot
The series centers on the developing romance between two women from different walks of life. Khun Sam (played by Freen Sarocha Chankimha) is a 33-year-old CEO of a successful company. Mon Kornkamon (played by Rebecca “Becky” Armstrong) is a 25-year-old who has always admired Sam and eventually joins her company as an employee.
As their professional relationship evolves, so does their personal connection. The plot explores the challenges they face due to their substantial differences in age, financial status, social standing, and family backgrounds. The narrative is enriched by Sam’s complex relationship with her grandmother, who plays a crucial role in their love story.
The show delves into adult romantic relationships with passionate scenes and emotional depth. Throughout the series, Sam finds herself torn between family obligations and her growing feelings for Mon. The tension culminates when Mon takes matters into her own hands, challenging Sam to make a decision about their future together.
In addition to the main romance, the series features a subplot involving the characters Tee (Noey Natnicha Vorrakittikun) and Yuki (Irin Urassaya Malaiwong), though some of their scenes were cut from the broadcast version.
Despite the numerous obstacles they face, Sam and Mon eventually find their way to a happy ending, providing viewers with the emotional resolution they hoped for.

Sam, who comes from a rich home with close family ties—especially to her powerful grandmother—finds herself often caught between following her own happiness and meeting family expectations.

Mon tackles life with relentless positivity and honesty that progressively breaks through Sam’s professional mask, despite her more modest upbringing producing a clear socioeconomic difference between them.

Gap: The Series Review
Review
“Gap: The Series” revolutionized Thai TV in 2022 as the country’s first true GL drama, amassing an incredible 600 million YouTube views!
The magic lies in Freen and Becky’s electric chemistry. Freen brilliantly portrays Sam, a 33-year-old CEO, while Becky (who was ironically too young at 20 to watch her own adult-rated show) shines as Mon, her admiring employee. Their connection feels authentic and deeply moving.
The story tackles realistic obstacles – age differences, social status gaps, and family expectations. For anyone scarred by tragic GL endings, rest assured – this one ends happily! When Sam finds herself torn between family and love, Mon boldly takes action. Despite all their challenges, they find their own genuine happy ending.
Some side stories feel underdeveloped, but this hardly diminishes the show’s impact. Since “Gap” broke through, we’ve seen more GL shows emerge, proving there’s a hungry audience for these stories.
Freen and Becky have continued their on-screen magic in projects like “Uranus 2324” and “The Loyal Pin,” building a dedicated following together.
If you want a romantic drama with heart, authenticity, and a satisfying conclusion, “Gap: The Series” delivers beautifully. It matters not just for being first, but for being genuinely good.
