| How to Watch ‘Lately It’s Winter’: Release Date, Platforms, Cast and What to Expect from Thailand’s New BL. (Credits: WeTV) |
If your watchlist’s been looking a bit dry, ‘Lately It's Winter Season’ (ไทเกอร์เดือนหนาว) is stepping in with exactly the kind of chaos-meets-heart formula BL fans tend to obsess over.
The Thai series, part of the wider Fourever You Project Part 2 from Studio Wabi Sabi, lands on 14 May 2026, airing weekly every Thursday at 20:30 on GMM25, with an UNCUT version streaming on WeTV for those who prefer their drama without the polite edits.
For international viewers, the drill is fairly straightforward. WeTV is the main gateway, expected to carry English subtitles alongside the uncut episodes, making it the go-to platform outside Thailand.
If you’re watching from abroad, you’ll likely need the app or web version depending on your region, though wider platform availability is being lined up and should be confirmed closer to release. In short: mark Thursdays, open WeTV, and prepare to spiral weekly.
At its core, the story leans into that classic “started as enemies, now questioning everything” dynamic.
Tiger, played by Pie Saranvut, is the youngest son of a powerful family, emotionally distant, slightly rebellious, and very much the type who pretends not to care until he absolutely does.
Enter Dueannao, portrayed by Golf Pasatorn, a bright, determined classmate he meets during football tryouts. Their first interaction is less cute and more friction-heavy, but naturally, that tension softens into something warmer, and then—predictably—messier.
The series tracks that shift from reluctant connection to something that clearly isn’t just friendship, no matter how much Tiger might try to label it otherwise.
What sets ‘Lately It's Winter Season’ apart is its mix of tones.
Yes, it’s a romance, but it leans into light humour, campus energy, and that slightly chaotic coming-of-age mood where everyone’s figuring themselves out in real time. Expect sweet moments, awkward silences, and the kind of emotional hesitation that feels annoyingly relatable.
The football setting adds just enough structure to the narrative without turning it into a sports drama, while the visuals—bright, warm, and deliberately cosy—contrast nicely with Tiger’s colder personality.

The supporting cast is stacked with familiar faces from the BL circuit and beyond, including Ngern Anupart, Oat Tharathon, Bever Patsapon, Tonliew Methaphat, Pond Ponlawit, Earth Katsamonnat, Maxky Ratchata, and Bas Hatsanat.
It’s very much an ensemble that’s expected to bring overlapping storylines, side pairings, and the occasional scene-stealing moment that fans will inevitably clip and replay.
Fan reaction so far has been… loud, in the way only BL fandom can manage. Early previews and behind-the-scenes clips have sparked plenty of chatter, particularly around the chemistry between Pie Saranvut and Golf Pasatorn, which many viewers are already calling “dangerously convincing” for a pre-release stage.
Others are cautiously optimistic, pointing out that the genre’s been flooded lately, so expectations are high and patience is thin.
Still, the blend of humour, romance, and that slow emotional build seems to be landing well, even among those who claim they’re “just watching casually” and definitely won’t get attached.
With just eight episodes, the pacing will need to be tight, which could work in the show’s favour if it avoids unnecessary detours.
The adaptation from Howlairy’s novel gives it a solid narrative base, and if the series sticks the emotional beats, it has the potential to sit comfortably among 2026’s more talked-about BL releases rather than fading into the weekly content cycle.
Whether you’re in for the romance, the character growth, or simply to see if Tiger actually admits his feelings before the final episode, ‘Lately It's Winter Season’ looks set to deliver a mix of warmth and tension that fits its title a little too well.
Planning to watch it weekly or waiting to binge once all episodes drop? Either way, this one’s already got people talking—so the real question is, are you joining the conversation or pretending you’re not watching while secretly keeping up every Thursday?
