The Loyal Pin is the second on-screen GL collaboration between beloved Thai actresses Freen and Becky, following their breakout success in Gap: The Series. Set in a fictionalized version of 1950s Thai royalty, this 16-episode slow-burn drama tells the story of a crown princess and her noble-born companion, whose bond evolves from childhood friendship into a deeply romantic connection.
With high production values, cultural richness, and tender, expressive performances, this series has been praised not only as a standout GL drama of 2024—but as one of the most thoughtfully constructed Thai lesbian love stories ever televised.
Anil, the free-spirited crown princess, and Pin, the refined noblewoman raised under strict rules, have grown up together in the royal palace. While Anil is bold and playful, Pin is reserved and duty-bound, constantly aware of her position as both a royal servant and a woman in a patriarchal monarchy.
Years pass. Anil leaves for England to study. Pin remains behind.
When they reunite as adults, their dynamic is more charged than ever—filled with longing, hesitation, and memories unspoken. What begins as rekindled friendship blooms into a sweeping romance complicated by duty, family expectations, and class divisions.

The Loyal Pin Review
Review
⭐ Story – 4.5 / 5
Set in a reimagined 1950s Thai royal family, The Loyal Pin offers a delicate slow-burn romance rooted in class difference, tradition, and quiet rebellion. The pacing is intentionally restrained, allowing the love between Anil and Pin to unfold through small gestures, shared memories, and emotional silences. More than just a romance, the story weaves in themes of duty, loyalty, and identity with poetic consistency.
⭐ Acting – 5 / 5
Becky Armstrong gives her most confident and emotionally complex performance to date as Princess Anil. From playful teasing to tender confessions, she exudes charm and command while never overshadowing her counterpart. Freen Sarocha, as Pin, offers a masterclass in subtlety—her hesitations, averted eyes, and soft smiles say more than words ever could. Their ability to embody restraint and yearning makes every emotional beat feel genuine.
⭐ Chemistry – 5 / 5
FreenBecky’s chemistry here is magnetic but never forced. Their eye contact lingers, hands brush just long enough to ache, and even moments of silence are thick with meaning. From the intimate bath scene to the rope-play sequence, their physicality is beautifully choreographed—respectful yet emotionally charged. It’s the kind of chemistry that makes you lean forward and hold your breath.
⭐ Production – 4.5 / 5
This is one of the most visually refined Thai GL dramas to date. The costumes are historically informed but softly stylized, and the use of soft filters and warm lighting enhances the romantic tone. Cultural elements like traditional dances, royal etiquette, and handwritten letters give the world texture. The soundtrack—especially the haunting string score and the original OST sung by the leads—elevates key emotional scenes.
⭐ Ending – 4.5 / 5
Without resorting to tragedy tropes, the ending honors both the novel’s spirit and the couple’s emotional growth. Pin finally steps forward, no longer passively receiving love but claiming it. While the resolution may feel idealized, it’s a welcome one in a genre too often denied happy endings. The soft ring exchange and shared resolve leave a lasting warmth.
