| Boy Pakorn and Ben Bunyapol Star in Political BL Drama MANDATE on Monomax |
The Thai BL scene is about to get a major shake-up this autumn with a drama that’s nothing like the usual campus or office love stories. Titled MANDATE (คมเดือน), this brand-new series is stepping boldly into political territory — and it’s already got fans talking.
MANDATE BL Release Date and Broadcast Details
MANDATE is officially scheduled to premiere on 12 September 2025, with fresh episodes dropping every Friday at 10:00 WIB, exclusively on Monomax.
International fans won’t be left out either — the series will come with English subtitles right from the start.
A Political BL Drama with a Twist of Romance
BL dramas tend to lean towards light-hearted, youthful romance, but MANDATE isn’t afraid to dig deeper. This one places its love story right in the middle of power struggles, party rivalries, and political ambition.

The plot follows Dr. Nong, a well-loved doctor and the son of a village headman. Known for his selfless care and respect for the community, Nong has constantly been courted by political parties eager to use his popularity to win seats.
Despite pressure even from his own father, Nong refuses to trade his stethoscope for a campaign badge — until a dramatic twist forces his hand.
Enter Vee, the sharp-tongued and privileged son of a major party leader. After studying abroad, Vee is determined to prove himself to his father, and that means persuading Nong to join his party.
He tries every trick in the book to get close to Nong, and while Nong pushes back, fate has other ideas.
When a crisis hits Nong’s younger sister, the doctor finally agrees to step into politics — unaware that Vee has been hiding a dangerous secret all along.
From this unlikely pairing grows a romance tangled up in ambition, betrayal, and sacrifice. It’s not just about love — it’s about survival in a world where trust is a rare currency.
