We’re only six episodes into ThamePo the Series, but I already know this show is something special. Every detail, from the breathtaking cinematography to the way the story unfolds, feels intentional and heartfelt. It’s a slow burn, but never once does it feel boring. Instead, it invites you to savor every moment, making each scene more impactful than the last.

I love how the show delves into the other side of an idol’s life—the sacrifices, the struggles, and the parts of their world we don’t often see. It adds so much depth to the narrative and makes the story feel grounded and real.

And can we talk about Po’s character? Finally, a gay character who isn’t boxed into a stereotype! He’s not clueless about his surroundings or feelings—he’s sharp, self-aware, and fully realized. And the dynamic between Thame and Po? It’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. They break away from the tired trope that one person in a queer couple has to be “the feminine one” and the other “the masculine one.” Instead, they beautifully embody both femininity and masculinity, creating a relationship that feels real, balanced, and inspiring.

Of course, the side characters deserve their flowers, too. They add so much richness to the story, complementing Thame and Po’s journey without overshadowing it. And the OST? Perfection. The music amplifies every emotion, and it’s stuck with me since the first episode.

Now, let’s get shady for a second because FINALLY—a BL actor who can actually sing! (You know who you are.) William and Est aren’t just amazing actors; they’re multi-talented, and their performances as Thame and Po are pure magic. Their chemistry is electric, and you can feel how much heart they pour into every scene.
