## Synopsis

Love By Chance (2018-2020) is a Thai boys love drama series created by MAME for GMM 25. Set in a Thai secondary school, the story follows Pete (Suppapong Udomkaewkanjana), a student bullied for being gay, who finds unexpected comfort in Ae (Tanapon Sukumpantanasan). Their bond grows from closeness into something more, yet loving someone who cannot love him back becomes a quiet, persistent pain that drives the emotional engine of the series. The show unfolds across two seasons and twenty-seven episodes, following an ensemble of classmates including Can (Rathavit Kijworalak), Tin (Phiravich Attachitsataporn) and Techno (Napat Na Ranong) as friendships, rivalries and confessions shift around the central pair. Its register is gentle and wistful, with tender, aching moments balanced by warmth and the everyday rhythms of school life. Adapted from a novel, it is a teen romance rooted in school hallways and quiet longing. Fans of Heartstopper and 2gether: The Series will find resonance in its slow burn intimacy and its honest look at queer youth.
