“I’m the Most Beautiful Count” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Sometimes the past has a way of calling us, loudly, unexpectedly, and with just enough chaos to turn life upside down. In the Thai BL drama I’m the Most Beautiful Count, that call comes in the form of time travel, palace intrigue, and a healthy dose of romantic confusion.
