Thai BL 2024 – Chaos, Romance & a Talking Cat? Count Me In!

If you thought Thai BLs had already given us everything—ghosts, stepbrothers, body swaps, and enough wrist grabs to break bones—think again. 2024 said, “Hold my iced coffee,” and delivered a whole buffet of new shows that are chaotic, romantic, weirdly emotional, and somehow all feature at least one guy who refuses to confess until episode 11.

So, let’s dive into the gloriously unhinged lineup of Thai BLs this year. And yes, I watched the trailers, stalked the casts, and already picked my favorite ships. Judge me.

1. Century of Love

This one is giving “My heart waited 100 years for you” energy. Literally. A guy makes a divine pact and gets reincarnated just to find his soulmate again. Romantic? Yes. Creepy? Also yes. I’d panic if someone looked me in the eye and said, “I've loved you for a century.” Sir, get in line—I can’t even commit to a phone plan.

2. Wandee Goodday

If “one-night stand turned romantic slow burn” is your thing, welcome to your new obsession. A nerdy doctor accidentally hooks up with a Muay Thai fighter and BAM—they’re in each other’s lives permanently. It’s the kind of spicy-meets-soft dynamic we all secretly want. Bonus: The doctor blushes like a traffic light every time he sees the fighter’s abs.

3. Love Sea

Man runs away to a tropical island and meets a mysterious boy by the beach. Do they fall in love while staring at the ocean under a full moon? Of course. Does it make me want to quit life and run a coconut stall with a hot local boy? Also yes.

4. Knock Knock, Boys!

A broke university student makes a bet involving matchmaking his new roommate… only to fall in love himself. I screamed. You screamed. We all screamed. Pure gay chaos and the kind of setup that promises tears and giggles in equal measure.

5. We Are

This one is giving “university friend group where literally everyone ends up gay” vibes. I’m not mad. In fact, I’m obsessed. If you love watching chaotic young adults finding love in dorms, cafes, and library corners, this is your jam.

6. 1000 Years Old

The title says it all. Immortal boy meets regular boy. It’s the classic “I’ve watched kingdoms rise and fall, but your smile wrecked me in five seconds” plotline. Immortality has never looked so good. Or so soft.

7. A Secretly Love

Another “straight”-acting engineering boy with a longtime crush on his friend? Groundbreaking. But the slow-burn here is addictive. Pluem just broke up with his girlfriend and our boy Khonprot is this close to finally shooting his shot. I'm shaking. Someone hold me.

8. Beside You

Oh, this one? ICONIC. A cat turns into a human overnight. Yes, a literal house cat. I didn’t expect to feel things about a human-cat romance but here we are. It’s cute, it’s weird, and honestly? I’d risk it all for a man who purrs.

9. Only Boo!

An idol trainee falls for a curry shop boy and breaks the no-dating rule. I’d betray my company too if the food and the flirting were that good. Spice level: emotionally intense and medium hot.

10. City of Stars

Tech startup + romance = the gay Silicon Valley drama we never knew we needed. Expect app crashes, emotional crashes, and probably someone crying in a hoodie while watching a code compile. Nerds can be hot, too!

11. The Outing

A simple group trip turns into a chaotic confessional. It’s like “Friends” meets “Love Alarm,” but if everyone was secretly in love with someone else. Dramatic? Of course. Entertaining? Absolutely.

12. The Rebound

Basketball. Ex-friends turned lovers. Sports uniforms and suppressed feelings. I’m sweating and not from the cardio. Zen and Ryu are about to dribble straight into my heart.

13. This Love Doesn’t Have Long Beans

Cooking show meets secret love. A chef and a model go from flirting over curry to mixing feelings into every dish. It’s funny, flirty, and now I want to be spoon-fed soup by someone with pretty hands.

14. Two Worlds

Parallel universe romance where two guys keep switching between realities and STILL manage to fall in love. Bro, if someone chased me across dimensions, I’d marry them on the spot.

Final Thoughts: Did I Survive 2024? Emotionally? Barely.

Let’s be honest—2024 ate. It gave us talking cats, 1000-year-old lovers, curry-shop crushes, and more wrist-grabbing than legally necessary. My heart didn’t survive half those plot twists, but my soul? Fed. These Thai BLs reminded us that love can be chaotic, messy, and absolutely worth the emotional damage.

Positive advice to end with:
Keep loving what lights you up. Cry over fictional men if you must. And remember, happy endings are real—even if they take 12 episodes and three near-death misunderstandings. 💙
