The series is adapted from a novel, "นับสิบจะจูบ" (Nap Sip Cha Chup). The main characters, Gene and Nubsib, share a deep connection and need to navigate the demands of the boys' love business in which they're both involved.
Because of its massive popularity among nearby Asian countries, the series created a special episode namely Lovely Writer Special Episode: 2 Years of Love, 2gether or Not? which focused on the relationship between Nubsib and Gene two years after the scenes of its parent story.[4]
It was featured on Teen Vogue's best BL dramas of 2021 list.[5]
Synopsis
editGene (Poompat Iam-samang) is a writer (known by his pen name Wizard) who wants to publish a new dark fantasy novel. But it turns out that the head of the publishing house wants him to write a novel in the Boys' Love genre. After the success of his first novel, he is pressured to write another book in the same genre despite his discomfort with it.
He then finds out that one of his novels entitled Bad Engineer will be adapted into an TV series, and he is invited to give his opinion during the casting for the main roles of the series. There, he meets Nubsib (Noppakao Dechaphatthanakun) who auditioned for the series and caught Gene's attention. In the following days, their paths cross again when Nubsib's manager Tum asks if Nubsib can live at Gene's apartment until he can find him permanent lodging while the series is being filmed. Gene decides to let Nubsib stay for one month. With Nubsib at Gene's apartment, their feelings become deeper, laced with unlocked secrets, revelations, jealousy and romance. Will their love have a happily ever after just like in his novels?
