ChermChey

ChermChey (เฉิ่มเชย; RTGS: Choem Choei) is a 2026 Thai boys' love romantic comedy-drama built around the cosy neighbourhood bar that gives the series its name. Intha (Koraphat Lamnoi) owns that bar: a confident, warm-hearted man who trusts his gut, says exactly what he means and goes after what he wants without a second thought. Akara (Pharinyakorn Khansawa), known to everyone as Eung, is his opposite, a young man left hollowed out by a partner's betrayal and worn thin by one disappointment too many. Out of options and half out of hope, Akara makes a wish at a temple to give love one final chance, and Intha walks into his life almost the moment he opens his eyes.

Intha pursues him openly and shamelessly, but Akara cannot bring himself to unlock a door that has already been kicked in once. Circumstance keeps pushing the two together anyway: Akara ends up working around the ChermChey bar, where late-night drinks, closing shifts and small unasked-for kindnesses do what grand gestures never could. Orbiting the pair is a lively ensemble of regulars, staff and old friends, Bom (Phasakorn Ratnaliam), A-Ten (Chintub Duangkaew), Nok (Peerada Namwong), Aiyaret (Karn Kritsanaphan), Chennai (Thanakrit Chiamchunya), Lalit (Max Kornthas Rujeerattanavorapan), Nine (Natasit Uareksit), Tonhon (Thanaphum Sestasittikul), Chonlathee (Worapong Walor), Araya (Sorntast Buangam), Ong (Krittapod Bunyamanee) and Master (Harit Buayoi), each of them nudging the two men toward, or away from, an answer neither is ready to give out loud.

Produced by Copy A Bangkok in partnership with Domundi TV and directed by Cheewin Thanamin Wongskulphat, whose credits include Bed Friend, the ten-episode series adapts Nottakorn's Thai web novel of the same title. It premiered on TrueVisions Now on 19 May 2026 and aired weekly on Tuesdays at 20:00 ICT through 14 July 2026, with international streaming on GagaOOLala. It also marks a fourth on-screen outing for the TutorYim pairing, after Cutie Pie, The Middleman's Love and Bed Friend. The register is deliberately unhurried and low-stakes: no villains, no contrived separations, just two adults slowly learning to be gentle with one another. ChermChey is a healing romance about second chances and the quiet courage it takes to try again.
