Thai Girls’ Love scene is preparing to welcome a new modern romance with Built in Love (ก่อร่างสร้างเลิฟ), a series that has quickly captured attention for its professional setting, character-driven storytelling, and carefully paced emotional development. Adapted from Salmon’s well-known novel, the drama positions itself as a contemporary romance rooted in ambition, belief, and personal growth, making it one of the most closely watched GL projects currently in development.
Built in Love centres on two highly accomplished women from very different professional worlds. Soul is a disciplined and detail-oriented architect, while Xinxin is a respected Feng Shui master known for her intuition and spiritual approach.
When both are hired to work on the same residential project, creative differences and clashing worldviews immediately surface. What begins as professional rivalry gradually evolves into mutual respect, opening space for an emotional connection shaped by compromise and understanding.
The series adopts a slow-burn structure, allowing tension, trust, and affection to develop naturally. This approach reflects Studio Wabi Sabi’s continued focus on character psychology and relationship growth within the GL genre.
Studio Wabi Sabi has officially released the pilot episode, offering audiences an early look at the visual style and narrative direction of the series.
The preview highlights a restrained but emotionally charged atmosphere, balancing workplace conflict with subtle romantic undertones. Rather than relying on dramatic twists, the pilot emphasises conversation, body language, and unresolved tension, signalling a story that values emotional realism.

The series stars Pim Pimjira Jaroenlak as Soul and Pineare Pannin Charnmanoon as Xinxin, a pairing that immediately stands out for its contrast in energy and temperament.
Supporting roles are played by Jara Jennifer Roberts as Lada, Jennie Naruemon Khampan as Mim, Bever Patsapon Jansuppakitkun as Oyl, Sammy Samantha Melanie Coates as Nan, and August Vachiravit Paisarnkulwong as Phat. Together, the ensemble adds warmth and variety, enriching the central narrative with layered interpersonal dynamics.
At its core, Built in Love explores how professional conflict can become a catalyst for personal transformation. As Soul and Xinxin navigate deadlines, expectations, and past misunderstandings, their rivalry softens into cooperation.
The series frames romance not as an escape from work, but as something that grows alongside ambition and responsibility, offering a grounded take on the enemies-to-lovers trope.
While the official premiere date remains to be announced, the pilot episode is already available through Studio Wabi Sabi’s official distribution channels.
For international audiences, the full series is expected to be released on recognised streaming platforms that regularly carry Thai GL content, with English subtitles provided. Viewing options will be confirmed closer to the official broadcast schedule.
