From the makers of KinnPorsche, the wait is finally over. Thailand’s breakout BL stars Mile Phakphum and Apo Nattawin return in Shine, a bold new BL romance drama premiering this August 2, 2025, on Channel 7HD and streaming worldwide via WeTV.
Anticipation has run high for over three years, and during a dazzling press launch at centralwOrld LIVE in Bangkok, the official trailer of Shine was finally revealed to fans and media alike. The event unveiled an almost complete cast and reignited excitement for what many are calling the most ambitious Thai BL series to date.
Shine is a sweeping, emotionally rich BL romance drama that explores love and identity through three decades of Thai history—from the 1950s to the 1970s. It’s a tribute to resilience, artistic rebellion, and cultural depth. Executive Producer and visionary Pond Krisda, who also led KinnPorsche, returns with a powerhouse creative team: Ning Bhanbhassa, Bua Parida, and Jean Khamkwan.
Mile and Apo are joined by a star-studded ensemble cast that includes Son Yuke, Euro Yotsawat, Oab Oabnithi, Punpun Sutatta, Bump Pawat, and many more. The show also highlights an original soundtrack composed by Thai rock legends Slot Machine, whose emotionally charged score underscores the drama’s bold narrative.
As part of Thailand’s cultural soft power initiative, Shine receives support from the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Culture, and THACCA. The cast will soon embark on a U.S. promotional tour under the Thai SELECT campaign, cementing Shine as a global ambassador of Thai creativity.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of MileApo or new to the Boys Love genre, Shine is poised to become a must-watch global phenomenon, merging cinematic storytelling, powerful performances, and musical artistry into one unforgettable viewing experience.
