The full cast, every episode from ep 1 to ep 12, the release date, the only licensed place to stream it, and the novel behind it
Two boys with one name, sorted into "one" and "two" by everyone around them, spend twelve episodes working out that being mentioned in the same breath is not the worst thing that could happen to them.
When Oranges Fall is a 2026 Thai BL from GMMTV starring Progress Passawish Thamasungkeeti and Almond Poomsuwan Suwansatit as two classmates stuck with the same nickname. All 12 episodes aired on GMM25 between May 13 and July 29, 2026, and stream on the OneD app in Thailand.
The show is a 1990s-set coming-of-age romance built on one small, stubborn image: an orange tree that grows on one side of a garden wall and keeps dropping fruit on the other. The full title in Thai, Ton Som Yu Ban Khao Tae Phon Som Lon Ma Ban Rao Talot Loei, says almost exactly that. Everything the series does with its two leads grows out of that one recurring nuisance.

If you only want the short version: this is a slow, gentle, unhurried show. It is not built on plot twists. It is built on two teenagers who annoy each other for years and then quietly stop being able to imagine life apart.
The When Oranges Fall release date was May 13, 2026, and the finale landed on July 29, 2026. Every episode aired on a Wednesday at 20:30 ICT on GMM25, one week apart, with no breaks and no split-season gap. The OneD app posted each episode an hour after broadcast, at 21:30 ICT.
That is worth stating plainly because Thai BL schedules often shift. This one did not. Twelve weeks, twelve episodes, one slot. The season is complete and self-contained, so nothing here is waiting on a renewal announcement. Shows that are still mid-run are covered in the list of every BL series airing now.
In Thailand the series aired free-to-air on GMM25, with the episode arriving on the OneD app an hour later. OneD is the licensed on-demand home for the show and is the only direct, official streaming page confirmed for it.
As of this article’s publication date, no wider international licence for When Oranges Fall has been publicly announced by GMMTV or a partner platform. If you see the full episodes hosted anywhere else, they are not licensed.
The cast of When Oranges Fall is small and stays small. All nine credited actors appear in all 12 episodes, which is unusual and tells you something about the show’s shape: there are no arcs that come and go, only one friend group followed from start to finish.
Progress Passawish Thamasungkeeti plays Krittin Yingkhun, called Ko Neung (Ko One), the loud, restless half of the pair and the one who is obsessed with the neighbour’s oranges long before he is obsessed with the neighbour. Almond Poomsuwan Suwansatit plays Kanin Siritara, called Ko Song (Ko Two), the quieter, pricklier boy whose family owns the tree.
The nickname collision is the running joke and also the thesis. Two boys with one name, sorted into “one” and “two” by everyone around them, spend twelve episodes working out that being constantly mentioned in the same breath is not the worst thing that could happen to them.
The supporting circle is the show’s second engine, and it gets real screen time rather than being wheeled out for comic relief:
August is the character to watch if you like a story that lets its side cast notice things. In episode 5 he is the one who works out that something is happening between the two Kos while the two Kos are still arguing about fruit.
Nui Sujira Aroonpipat and Captain Poothanate Hongmanop play Ko Neung’s mother and father, and Thor Thinnaphan Tantui plays the boys’ teacher, Kong. Thai BL often keeps parents offscreen. Here they are in every episode, which is part of how the 1990s neighbourhood is built out.
Siwaj Sawatmaneekul directed, from scripts by Thanaporn Phetcharas and Kirati Khamsat, with music by Sompob Pokepoon. The workshop period began on February 1, 2026 and principal photography started on February 22, 2026, with the official trailer landing on April 29, about two weeks before the premiere.
Every episode aired on a Wednesday, one week apart. Runtimes below are per episode rather than a genre assumption, which matters here because the variance is wide. If you are looking specifically for When Oranges Fall ep 1, it is the longest of the opening five at 49 minutes and it sets up the entire premise in its cold open.
| Ep | Air date | Runtime | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | May 13, 2026 | 49 min | A stray orange over the wall puts two boys who dislike each other in the same story. |
| 2 | May 20, 2026 | 42 min | Ko Song joins Ko Neung’s class; a bullying incident pushes Ko Neung to step in. |
| 3 | May 27, 2026 | 47 min | Ko Song is absorbed into the friend group, and shared meals do the rest. |
| 4 | June 3, 2026 | 43 min | A first boat trip, and a fear the two of them turn out to share. |
| 5 | June 10, 2026 | 41 min | August starts to suspect what is going on between the two Kos. |
| 6 | June 17, 2026 | 45 min | A school trip moves the relationship somewhere neither of them planned. |
| 7 | June 24, 2026 | 45 min | A kiss, then a disappearance, then a lot of unanswered questions. |
| 8 | July 1, 2026 | 54 min | Ko Neung tries to name what he feels and is thoroughly unhelped by an invitation upstairs. |
| 9 | July 8, 2026 | 48 min | A beach trip forces the word “friend” to stop doing so much work. |
| 10 | July 15, 2026 | 46 min | Graduation approaches and Ko Neung starts counting the time they have left. |
| 11 | July 22, 2026 | 56 min | The longest episode of the season. |
| 12 | July 29, 2026 | 46 min | Finale. Graduation reframed as a beginning rather than an ending. |
Adding the twelve individual runtimes gives 562 minutes, or 9 hours and 22 minutes for the complete series. The average episode is just under 47 minutes, the shortest is episode 5 at 41 minutes, and the longest is episode 11 at 56 minutes. That 15-minute spread is worth knowing before you plan a binge, because the back half is noticeably heavier: episodes 8 through 12 average 50 minutes each, while episodes 1 through 5 average 44.
Put another way, the shorter episodes sit in the first half and the longer ones in the second, so the closing stretch has more minutes to work with. Episode 11, the second to last, is the longest in the show at 56 minutes.
The series adapts a Thai BL web novel by Littleskyofme, which began as a short one-shot before being expanded into a serialized story on Dek-D and ReadAWrite from 2021. The finished serial runs to 41 entries, a prologue plus 40 chapters, and the boys’ love imprint everY, part of Thai publisher Jamsai, collected it as a two-volume book in 2022. There is also an authorized English edition sold under the title When Oranges Fall.
The interesting part for anyone coming from the drama is scale. A 41-chapter novel compressed into 562 minutes of television means the series has to pick which stretches of the boys’ adolescence to keep, and it also means the adaptation had room to invent. Where every other BL drama came from is set out in the reference on BL dramas and their source novels, manga and manhwa.
| Element | Web novel | 2026 series |

The 1990s framing is the adaptation’s single biggest addition. On the page the story reads as timeless; on screen it is anchored to a decade, and that decision does real work. The page on the source web novel goes into what the book spends its time on that the show cannot. If you want the wider picture, the same pattern shows up across other Thai BL adaptations such as Crazy Love, Moo-Moo! and Love Upon a Time, where the drama routinely adds a setting or a second couple the source never had.
It is a character-driven coming-of-age BL, and the 1990s setting does structural work rather than decorative work: no phones means no shortcuts, so every misunderstanding has to be resolved by two people standing in front of each other.
There is very little external pressure on the leads. Nobody is stopping them except themselves, so the conflict stays internal throughout and the relationship accumulates in small moments, a stolen orange at a time, rather than through outside events. Cast credits, themes and streaming details are on the When Oranges Fall title page.
Both leads are called Ko. Thai everyday speech solves duplicate nicknames the practical way, by numbering them, so the first one becomes Ko Neung, literally Ko One, and the second becomes Ko Song, Ko Two. Nobody in the show chose those labels. Classmates, teachers and parents assigned them, and the boys have been carrying them since childhood.
That labelling does structural work. The series never has to explain why these two are constantly compared, ranked and mentioned together, because the language around them does it automatically. Ko Neung resents being half of a pair before he has any reason to. By the finale the same shared name reads as something closer to a promise. It is a small piece of writing that survives the jump from Littleskyofme’s novel intact, and it is the reason the English title works better as branding than as translation: the Thai title is about the fruit, but the Thai nicknames are about the boys.
Watch it if you liked school-set Thai BL that stays at school, if you want a completed 12-episode story with no cliffhanger waiting on a renewal, or if you want a period setting that changes how the romance functions rather than just how it looks. The 1990s framing removes texting, removes social media and removes the option of resolving a fight by leaving a voice note at 2am.
All of the conflict is internal. There is no villain, no scandal and no external threat pulling the leads apart, and everything that keeps Ko Neung and Ko Song at arm’s length comes from inside the relationship. Pair it with the source novel if the show leaves you wanting more of their childhood, since the book has room the television version does not.

Progress Passawish Thamasungkeeti plays Krittin, called Ko Neung, and Almond Poomsuwan Suwansatit plays Kanin, called Ko Song. The friend group is Ken Kanthee Limpitikranon as Augar, Paul Tanan Lohawatanakul as Achi, Justin Angus Moir as August, and Keaton Sitthithat Tungtisanon as Tle. Nui Sujira Aroonpipat and Captain Poothanate Hongmanop play Ko Neung’s parents, and Thor Thinnaphan Tantui plays their teacher, Kong.
Twelve, all aired. The season premiered on May 13, 2026 and finished on July 29, 2026, with one new episode every Wednesday and no mid-season breaks. It is a complete story with no cliffhanger waiting on a renewal.
Episode 1 runs 49 minutes, which makes it the longest of the opening five. It aired on May 13, 2026 and sets up the whole premise: a stray orange dropping over a garden wall puts two boys who dislike each other into the same story.
The series aired on GMM25 in Thailand at 20:30 ICT and streams on the OneD app from 21:30 ICT. OneD is the only verified official streaming page. No wider international licence had been publicly announced by GMMTV or a partner platform as of August 2026.
Episodes average just under 47 minutes, but the range is wide. Episode 5 is the shortest at 41 minutes and episode 11 is the longest at 56 minutes. Adding all twelve runtimes together gives 562 minutes, which is 9 hours and 22 minutes for the whole series.
Yes. It adapts a Thai BL web novel by Littleskyofme that was serialized on Dek-D and ReadAWrite from 2021 and published in book form by the everY imprint in 2022. The finished serial runs to 41 entries, a prologue plus 40 chapters, collected into two volumes.
The biggest change is the period. The novel does not fix a decade; the drama sets everything in a 1990s Thai high school, which removes phones and social media and forces every misunderstanding to be resolved face to face. The drama also renames the leads Krittin and Kanin while keeping their Ko Neung and Ko Song nicknames.
Both boys share the nickname Ko, so everyone around them numbers the pair: Ko Neung means Ko One and Ko Song means Ko Two. The naming convention is ordinary Thai practice, and the series uses it as the running joke that sets up the whole romance.
Yes. It is a boys’ love series produced by GMMTV with Studio Wabi Sabi, directed by Siwaj Sawatmaneekul, built around a slow-burn classmates-to-lovers romance set in a 1990s Thai high school.
