## Synopsis

Gelboys (2025-2026) is a Thai boys love coming-of-age drama series created by Naruebet Kuno for ONE 31. Fou4Mod, played by Chayapak Tunprayoon, is a high school student who falls for a gel-nail enthusiast and tries to make his crush jealous, which tangles him in a messy love triangle. Around him, Chian (Monthapoom Sumonvarangkul), Baabin (Mahidol Pibulsonggram) and Bua (Leon Brocco) share a long friendship that begins to fracture as each of them experiences first same-sex feelings. The engine of the show is the gap between what the boys say in group chats and what they feel at night, and the small social pressures of school, online posts and skytrain commutes through contemporary Bangkok. Across two seasons and fifteen episodes the story stays grounded in ordinary teenage life rather than melodrama. The tone is tender, wistful and often angst-heavy, with a sincere interest in vulnerability and belonging. Fans of Heartstopper, I Told Sunset About You and Skam will find resonance in its portrait of queer youth discovering themselves among friends.
