Best Thai GL series that celebrates love
The Thai romantic drama scene has carved out a distinct personality for itself in terms of portraying gay love stories. Boy-love (BL) series based on gay stories underscore the country’s acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. Thai girl-love (GL) series are also well on their way to becoming a popular genre of romantic dramas.
While Thai BL dramas have garnered a lot of attention in recent years, the Thai GL series catalog is starting to gain traction among young viewers. Moreover, Thai GL dramas are a reflection of the country’s ever-growing entertainment scene. From Gap: The Series To Show me loveeach Thai drama showcases a different aspect of girls’ love that can make your heart skip a beat. Whether you’re looking for high school romance or unexpected workplace love stories, there’s something for everyone. Excellent performances and stunning cinematography are bonus points that make each title a true delight.
This article is even more meaningful at this time because Thailand took a huge step towards inclusivity during Pride Month 2024. It was the first Southeast Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage. In my opinion, binge-watching some popular Thai GL series is one of the best ways to cheer on this LGBTQ+ community.
