is it just me, or does Jay from Payback remind anyone else of Thada from Reset.
i don't see enough people talking about this, but RESET is honestly such a good show. PeterpanPond are absolutely killin' it and the romance is really romancing.
i feel like Pond is one of those actors who can bring out chemistry with any of his partners. My first exposure was PondOffroad, then PondEarth and now PeterpanPond.
I eagerly wait for the episodes every week.
Wenai is the cutest ahhh. i couldn't stop smiling when he walks in on Thada Armin. he is so funny without even trying
first it was ThadaArmin with sunscreen, now it's PhiTam with salt rub. my bl boys are doing great with selfcare this week.
Category 1: Top 5 Thai BLs released in 2025 (pt. 2)
firefly's top 5 (actually 10)
before i continue my top 5, here's the link to the previous part
i would also like to give a special shout out to Gelboys. While it didn't make my top 10, it was a damn good show. now we continue to my top 5 Thai shows of this year.
5. Top Form
it hurts to talk about this one, but it's in my top 5, so i must. i started this show with no expectations. i didn't read the novel, never heard of the actors, but my god what a treat it was to discover this show each week. Smart and Boom have an undeniable chemistry and it was so unfortunate to watch everything unfold the way it did. I think the universe of Akina has so much potential, and i am sad that we won't see Smart be part of it. but back to the show, i think the story telling was wonderful, THAT scene was so artistically done, and just these 2 are so talented.
4. Reset
I guess you can notice a theme, i really liked these celebrity dramas this year. This one worked not only because of Peterpan and Pond but because of the rest of the supporting cast. Like the assistant's comic timing was so perfect. And sometime, you just need a man so stupidly in love with his man, and the only conflict is external forces. This show made me feel so so giddy. And my goodness Pond Ponlawit the actor that you are, the range that you have!
3. ThamePo
This one might be cheating, but like 77% of this show aired in 2025, so I am counting it. When this show aired, i was going around recommending it to ALL my friends, not like anyone watched it... But this was so wholesome and being a boyband stan since way back in 2012 (yikes i am showing my age) so much of the story resonated. it was such a perfect debut for LYKN into acting, and also such a perfect casting for the show. William really surprised me with his acting not going to lie, and him paired with Est was a stroke of brilliance on GMMTV's part.
2. Khemjira
ok ok don't come at me, I know this is many people's no. 1 and rightfully so. this show was a masterpiece. I've said it before, i think the incorporation of Thai tradition and customs with the horror was done so wonderfully. There was never a dull point in the storyline, nothing felt unimportant. And the characters chemistry was always on point. And lets not forget Ramphueng, she was a scary villain, which made the show that much more gripping. If my number one show did not release this year, this was an easy number 1. Like even the music, expecially in that title track, it sounded almost haunting. And Keng's songs, both of them, ughhh magicc.

This show, has my heart and soul. It was not only the no.1 BL of this year for me, but probably one of my all time favourite show ever. Initially the story was confusing to me, i was also confused on why they released the whole soundtrack at once. But then the show started airing, and the episodes focussed on 1 song every episode, and then the story started to really flow together and it all started to make sense. The storytelling through the music was an absolute masterclass. The politics of it all felt so relevant. I laughed, I cheered, I feared, I cried. The performance of each and every actor was so incredibly fine, Mile Apo are my weakpoint, so I was over the moon when this was the masterpiece they served as their comeback, Son Euro's chemistry was so natural, Peter Deriy really showed up with his talent. I hold this show very close to my heart. So of course, this topped my list.
but yeh that's my top 5 (10) Thai BLs of 2025. more categories to come soon.
