Wow, twenty dramas... A few of those won’t air in 2025 for sure.
There is one het drama with Nanon, one drama with a mix of couples – some gay and some het, two GL dramas, and 16 BL dramas (or rather 15 BL dramas and one ambiguously BL drama). I didn’t expect those proportions. When part two of 2024 lineup was announced there were 14 dramas with seven BL dramas amongst them, so more or less half of it. Now BL dramas made up 80% of the lineup.
And they announced a musical based on The Love of Siam (a movie from 2007 with LGBTQ themes). The cast is unknown for now, but I hope they will give it to actors who can sing. 😊
Behind the cut there are links to all the trailers and my short opinions about them.
A crime drama with a serial killer, Joong and Dunk not as university students. Looks good. And it has a few of my favorite tropes - antagonists to lovers, and they were roommates, and undercover as a couple amongst them. And sexual tension you can cut with the knife. 😊
Dunk is so handsome and slick in that elegant suit. Joong looks hot as always. There are a lot of other actors I like – June, Sing, Drake, Little Ohm. I’m very much in.
Head 2 Head
Sea and Keen’s second drama. Java and a new guy called Surf are the secondary couple. It’s about two rivals since childhood, who are now neighbors, and there is something supernatural going on. Seems a bit like Bad Buddy, just with a supernatural element.
Ehh, I don’t know. If there won’t be anything else at that time then maybe. Sea and Keen are fine, I liked them in Only Boo, and Java was great in Summer Night.
Burnout Syndrome
OffGun in a dark and serious drama directed again by Nuchy Anucha Boonyawatana (the director of Not Me). Gun is a struggling artist, and Off is a ruthless businessman. But did they let Gun kiss someone else? Wow… And that thumbnail image with the three of them really says “serious and dramatic love triangle”, doesn’t it?
Dare I hope for at least one scene of a full threeway sex? Probably won’t happen. But still it looks very promising, I will be watching this drama for sure.
I Love A Lot of You
Nanon falls in love with a girl with five different personalities. I don’t know, I love Nanon, but it doesn’t really look like something I would like.
Whale Store xoxo
MilkLove in a drama where they are not students or highschoolers this time. The romance is between a teacher and a repair girl. It looks cute. I might watch it.
Only Friends: Dream On
Yes, yes, yes!!! EarthMix, JossGawin, and OhmLeng in the second season of Only Friends. This time it’s about drama students making some sort of “Romeo & Romeo” stage play. It looks messy and sexy, exactly like the 1st season. I’m so excited for this.
And they say Mix’s character is like Boston in this one. I so wanted to see him as a villain, or at least a morally ambiguous character since The Jungle, so I’m here of it.
I wonder if other characters from the 1st season will make a cameo appearance, since Neo is there in the trailer. It would be cool, so here is hoping.
That Summer
WinnySantang in a drama where they are the leads, with Mond and Ryu as the secondary couple. And wow, I love that combination and they look good and hot together. It’s about a romance between a commoner and a prince with amnesia. And it looks so tropey and fun. And it has Neo with his RL girlfriend Mint as the third het couple. I do plan to check this one out for sure.
My Romance Scammer
Two couples - JuniorMark, and Ohm Thitiwat with one of GMMTV’s Flukes. People call that one Dimple Fluke. 😊 It looks mostly fluffy and fun, and I like JuniorMark, so this is a “maybe” for me.
Melody of Secrets
Oh, yes, that looks so good to me. ForceBook in a dark mystery thriller? Gimme. Or maybe it’s a psychological horror? It would be so cool if they let Force be a villain, but I’m sure they won’t. Or, hmmm, maybe he’s playing twins, where one is good and one is evil? That would be cool, too. Whatever it is I will watch it for sure.
Love You Teacher
PerthSanta as leads. But seriously, GMMTV, amnesia again? Mostly done in a comedic way this time, with Santa’s character also reverting to his 7 years old self after a serious accident. The trailer made me cringe already, so no, that one is definitely not for me.
Mu-Te-Luv
A comedic drama with seven different love stories, with magic and superstition. It looks like an anthology series. It has SeaKeen and OhmLeng, and a few het couples. Doesn’t look like something I would like.
Cat for Cash
FirstKhaotung in a cat café AU. 😉 It’s about a debt collector who starts to understand what cats say, and about his romance with a son of one of his clients who died recently.
It was enough for me to see First cuddling and talking with a bunch of adorable kitties, and I was sold instantly. I laughed while watching this trailer, I hope the drama will be as funny and fluffy and sweet as this trailer promises. A love story for cat lovers, indeed. 😊
Girl Rules
NamtanFilm and MilkLove in a messy and sexy GL drama? Sign me up. This is definitely Only Friends GL version. And there is the third couple – View and a newbie Mim. And they all look absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to watch it.
Boys in Love
Yes, finally Papang and Podd! They teased us with that couple for a long time and I’m glad they finally delivered. They are teachers and the secondary couple in a high school BL, but I’ll take it. They look good and hot together. Let’s hope for them being leads in 2026. 😊
Apart from them there are three teenage couples, mostly newbies, but they all look adorable. I will watch this one for the teachers, but all the teenage romances seem sweet, too.
My Magic Prophecy
JimmySea in a drama about a doctor and a fortune teller. Eh, looks kinda boring to me, so I don’t know. This one is a “maybe”, too.
A Dog and A Plane
TayNew in a silly romance about a paramedic and a flight attendant. MarcPoon are the secondary couple. Looks cute and funny, and I will probably watch it.
Me and Thee
PondPhuwin as the leads again, yay. Phuwin is a photographer and Pond is a super rich mafia boss, who seems dangerous and shady on the outside, but in reality is a big dork, who loves lakorns and doesn’t know how to woo someone he likes.
I like Pond and Phuwin a lot, and this drama looks fun, so I will be watching.

I thought it would be a BL drama with Sky and Nani after their bromance in High School Frenemy got so popular. But apparently it is not a BL drama? It’s hard to tell what it is about, only that there is magic and tarot reading (again). I’ve read that they put it together very quickly because of Sky and Nani’s popularity as a pairing, despite their drama not being a BL. And it was shot six days before the event. And it shows, because there is no plot here, only vibes.
Memoir of Rati
GreatInn and AouBoom in a historical BL that looks very gorgeous and interesting. It has two romances with class difference, repressed longing, and a lot of angst and drama. Yes, please, that one is for me, absolutely.
Ticket to Heaven
A drama with GeminiFourth, and I like them, but ehh, that one is not my thing. I’m not in the mood for that kind of repressed longing with a conflict between faith and desire, and a lot of Catholic guilt. I might change my mind later, but for now it’s a “no”.

Me, too. 23.5 was not for me, so I hope their two 2025 dramas will be more to my taste. :)
