CompletedTV Series🇹🇭

What happens

Sila (Fluke Pusit Dittapisit) owns Phu Saeng Dao, a farm and hotel in the hills of northern Thailand, and runs it the way a man runs a life he has quietly decided not to share with anyone: courteously, competently, at arm's length. Saithan (SaengNuea Jitaboon Ngamboonyarak) turns up in Chiang Rai looking for a clean start, younger, sharper-edged, and carrying scars from a past that was built on somebody else's lies. The two meet by chance one evening and part the next morning with the shared assumption that this was the whole of it.

It is not. A car accident leaves Saithan owing money to an influential local, and Sila settles the debt without being asked and without making a speech about it afterwards. Saithan, who has spent his adult life refusing to become anyone's obligation, insists on repaying every baht on his own terms and takes work at Phu Saeng Dao to do it. The arrangement is supposed to stay a ledger, hours in, debt down, but daily proximity does what proximity does, and the age gap between them turns into something more tangled than a simple line of authority. Around the farm, Mueanphrae (Methakarn Anektanasuwan), Maenmueang (Jakarin Puribhat), Phon (Nisachon Tuamsoongnuen) and Wipha (Namnung Suttidachanai) make up the household Saithan is slowly absorbed into, while Phayu (Nannakun Pakapatpornpob), his ex, and Gale (Ramita Kamiya) pull the past he ran from back within arm's reach.

Your Dear Daddy (Thai: เรียกแด๊ดสิธาร, also known as Riak Dad Si Than or Call Me Dad) is a 2026 Thai boys' love romance drama written and directed by Rice Natid Kaveekornwong, adapted from the novel Until You #เรียกแด๊ดสิธาร by the author credited as CEO. Produced by Make Some Noise together with Studio Wabi Sabi and WERS Entertainment, the eight-episode series premiered on May 9, 2026 and aired every Saturday at 22:30 on Channel 9 MCOT HD through June 27, 2026, with an uncut version on iQIYI at 23:00 the same night. Shot against the northern landscape and paced to match it, the series cares far less about how the two men met than about everything that comes after: what it costs a guarded man to let himself be depended on, what it costs a proud one to accept help, and how much trust two damaged people can rebuild one ordinary day at a time.

Reviewed by Renkaze

6.5/10

Your Dear Daddy works a familiar Thai BL lane, the age-gap romance, but grounds it with debt, trauma and a patient build rather than pure fantasy. Adapted from CEO's novel, it leans on the contrast between a wary younger lead and an older man hiding wounds of his own.

The Pairing

Fluke Pusit Dittapisit plays the composed farm-and-hotel owner Sila opposite SaengNuea Jitaboon Ngamboonyarak’s guarded Saithan. The debtor-employer setup gives their romance a built-in power imbalance the show gradually unpacks over eight episodes.

Their chemistry leans more on quiet gestures and shared routine than grand declarations. The earlier episodes keep their attention on the arrangement itself, and the relationship shifts later in the run.

The Setting as Structure

Phu Saeng Dao is a farm and a hotel at once, which gives the drama two rhythms. Land has to be tended daily for years, while guests are made comfortable precisely so that they can leave. Saithan arrives as the kind of person a hotel exists for and then crosses to the staff side of the counter, and that move from guest to worker is the first thing to change between the two men. The hills of northern Thailand set the pace: the series takes its time, and the rural backdrop doubles as a place where both leads can recover.

What to Expect

  • Age-gap romance: healing and emotional baggage at its core.
  • Grounded tone: humour and slice-of-life warmth alongside heavier past trauma.
  • Scenic setting: a Chiang Rai farm and hotel backdrop that doubles as a slow-healing environment for both leads.

The Verdict

A warm, watchable age-gap Thai BL with likeable leads; Your Dear Daddy suits viewers who enjoy healing romances and stories where trust is rebuilt one ordinary day at a time.

Final Score: 6.5/10

Your Dear Daddy reached viewers in two forms at once: on free-to-air Channel 9 MCOT HD on Saturday nights, and uncut on iQIYI half an hour later.

Make Some Noise, Studio Wabi Sabi and WERS Entertainment produced the eight-episode series, written and directed by Rice Natid Kaveekornwong from the novel Until You by CEO. The broadcast ran from 9 May to 27 June 2026.

Studio Wabi Sabi is also behind the serialised Fourever You project, and it shares a production credit with GMMTV on When Oranges Fall, which premiered on 13 May 2026, four days after this drama.

It opens very well.

His mother cuts off his money, so he sets out to earn it himself and ends up working at the farm. That stretch is strong. Then other dynamics come in: people with a score to settle with the owner of the place, a death that belongs to an earlier life, and the work of living with what it left behind.

The parts are arranged to sit together rather than pile up, which is the thing an adaptation has to get right.

Themes

Sila's business is the detail worth sitting with. Phu Saeng Dao is a farm and a hotel at once, so his livelihood is split between land that has to be tended daily for years and guests who are made comfortable precisely so that they can leave. One half of the enterprise rewards staying put; the other is organised entirely around departure. Running both at the same time means always having an answer ready for whoever turns up, and an answer ready for how long they stay.

Saithan arrives as the sort of person a hotel exists for, passing through and owing nothing, then crosses to the other side of the counter and becomes staff. That move, from guest to worker, is the first thing to change between them, well before any feeling is named.

The Thai title is not a description but an instruction, a line telling somebody what to call another person. A story about a debt worked off in hours turns out to be about the same question in a different currency: what these two are allowed to call each other.

Interesting facts

  • The 2024 pilot had passed 1.6 million views by 2026, an audience gathered before a single episode of the series existed.

How it was made

The project was in public view a long time before it aired. An official pilot was released on 14 May 2024, running six minutes and thirty seven seconds, almost two years ahead of the broadcast. A blessing ceremony followed in September 2025, filming began in December 2025, and the official trailer went up on 23 April 2026, a little over two weeks before the 9 May premiere.

The behind the scenes special, Come Play, Dear Daddy, was not a single programme. It went out in two parts on Channel 9 MCOT HD, on 25 April and 2 May 2026, filling the two Saturday slots immediately before the first episode.
