Christmas came early for me last week with the reveal of the 2026 and beyond lineup for GMMTV. They gave us thirty queer stories. Twenty-two were BL, eight were GL, and one was a stage musical. Having that many series revealed also came with a certain amount of controversy.

9 Thai Workplace Romance BLs to Make You Swoon
You might get reported to HR if you strike up a romance in your office, but these guys are luckier. I have a soft spot for workplace romance, much more so than school romances. All of these recommendations have happy endings. And there’s one show with a throuple lurking in this list.

“That Summer” Series Review (Ep.3 to 10)
Love writes its own story. No one journey looks the same, yet every heart chases some version of a happily ever after, whether it lasts a lifetime or becomes a memory we carry with us. That Summer leans heavily into this theme, weaving together several lives whose paths cross on an island shaped by grief, healing, and the unexpected ways love finds us.
“Takumi- Kun Series” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)
Confusion. I just did not get this series. Perhaps had I known this was composed of snippets of movies/series, I might have appreciated it more. I assumed it was a stand-alone series. Not having seen any of the previous references, I was at a loss as to the subtle references. Frankly, trying to make an anthology out of several movies/series is a fool’s errand and those of us trying to watch this are engaging in a fool’s task. Having said that, the account as presented does have some merit, and I found several subplots it was trying to emphasize, noteworthy. The rest of it merely became fluff and was perfunctory.

GMMTV 2026 Magic Vibes Maximized- PART II
GMMTV’s attempts to quantify their queer production is indeed praiseworthy. But can quantification guarantee quality as well? With 32 dramas up for production next year and quite a few from the 2025 Lineup, time management will be a big problem. Also, they have been recruiting new talents big time, but can they successfully manage these many artists and create new content for all of them? That remains to be seen!
GMMTV 2026 Magic Vibes Maximized- PART I
As expected, “GMMTV2026 Magic Vibes Maximized” was a grand event; not just in terms of event planning, but we are talking about the amount of shows too. GMMTV announced 35 new series, 22 of which are BL, 8 are GL and 5 other series. It is obvious that following the legalization of same-sex marriage, GMMTV is diving deeper into the market of queer representation. It is making them more money than heterosexual romances, and they are bringing in more talents to develop steadfast queer oriented content!
BL Week in Review
My favorite Thai company, GMMTV, announced two highly anticipated series that are going to premiere soon. “Burnout Syndrome” and “Melody of Secrets” have been on my must-watch list since I saw their mock trailers at previous lineup events, and I’m so curious to see how they play out. “Burnout Syndrome” starts on Wednesday, and “Melody of Secrets” begins on December 5. I have a good feeling about these two.

Toxic BLs That Will Leave You Shocked Beyond Your Imagination! (2025)
Toxic BLs are on the rise and literally the Chinese industry is flaunting the genre, despite the existent censorship. We have shows buzzing with toxic characters who are obsessive and hot-tempered. They are mostly handsome, filthy rich and possessive as hell. At times, it makes for a fine watching experience; the rest of time, you spend your time cursing at their intrusiveness. We have lined up the best storylines with such obtuse characters!
