Love is a lens that both blinds and reveals, obscuring the flaws we can’t bear to see while magnifying the truths we’re afraid to face. It’s one of the most life-changing human emotions we experience, powerful enough to save, destroy, or rewrite us entirely. Few series capture that duality quite like The Wicked Game.

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.
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.
This week, I had to make some hard decisions. There are so many fun things airing on Fridays and Saturdays, but I’ve vowed that until my novel is done, I can only watch two series per day. Hard decisions were made. I am putting Goddess Bless You From Death and Interminable Thailand briefly on hold while That Summer and The Wicked Game finish. I decided not to watch the three toxic series that began on Saturday. They included: To My Shore, Tide of Love, and Gu Jin Nan Qiu.
This week, there were two lineup events. One was from WeTV Thailand, and one was from IQIYI Thailand.
One series I’m excited for is “Be My Player Two”. This was one of WeTV’s announcements. It is from studio Wabi Sabi and has Maxky Ratchata and Bas Hatsanet, who last played together in “Fourever You”. It is apparently a prequel to “A Boss and a Babe”. I like the esports theme, and the preview felt fresh. It’ll be fun.
Halloween was last week, and the Thai BL actors were out in full force, sharing their photo shoots. I was excited to see both KristSingto and EarthMix doing a full set. EarthMix costumes were very memorable. Look to Instagram, TikTok, and X for all the fun pictures of your favorites.
We have copious amounts of Thai BL making it to the shores. The sudden outbreak could very well be attributed to the fact that same-sex marriages have been legalized in the country. So, while celebrating their freedom to love any person of their choice, BL projects seem to be paving the path for a new society with a modular mindset.

This week, so many series began and ended that it almost gave me whiplash. Still, there were some highlights.
“Chosen Home” is a queer drama from Japan that made me smile through the entire episode. I wouldn’t call it BL. Still, it had a strong found-family element that I adored.
Of the thirty-four currently airing BL dramas, I am only watching thirteen. Even so, it feels like a lot to watch. Perhaps it’s because the buzz on social media keeps increasing. More and more people have something to say about these series, which is amazing but also time-consuming.
Revenge. Betrayal. Greed. Passion. All of it collides in The Wicked Game, a Thai BL that wastes no time throwing viewers into its tangled web of family power struggles, danger, and undeniable attraction.
