Love Sick: The Series (Thai: รักวุ่น วัยรุ่นแสบ) is a Thai BL television series aired by Channel 9 since 2014. It is an adaptation of the original Thai Boys Love novel Love Sick: The Chaotic Lives of Blue Shorts Guys written by INDRYTIMES. The series stars Chonlathorn Kongyingyong, Nawat Phumphothingam, Luangsodsai Anupart, Chindavanich Primrose, Charnmanoon Pannin, and Vachiravit Paisarnkulwong.[1]
The first season aired in Thailand on July 6, 2014 and ended on September 21, 2014. A second season was ordered to air in 2015 with 36 episodes, up from the 12 episodes in the first season.[2] In April 2019, the main characters, Noh (Captain Chonlathorn) and Phun (Nawat Phumphothingam), appeared in the 3-part miniseries Reminders.
The first season of Love Sick is notable for adapting many tropes from Japanese yaoi and for beginning the boom in Thai series exploring "Boys Love".[3]
A 2024 remake of the series titled Love Sick 2024 starring Progress Passawish Thamasungkeeti and Almond Poomsuwan Suwansatit premiered on Channel 9 and YouTube on September 14, 2024, at 23:00 ICT (11:00 pm).[4]
