Toptap Jirakit Kuariyakul
BIOGRAPHY
Toptap Jirakit Kuariyakul was already a BL veteran when 2gether happened. By 2020 he had six years of credits behind him, starting with Poom in Love Sick (2014), a part that covered 48 episodes over two seasons. Type in 2gether: The Series arrived with a long résumé attached.
Jirakit Kuariyakul (จิรกิตติ์ คูอาริยะกุล), nicknamed Toptap, was born on 1 May 1994 in Nan Province. He finished secondary school at Strisrinan School, spent a year in the United States as an AFS exchange student, and graduated from Mahidol University International College with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, majoring in marketing.
His first lead came in his debut year: Tul in Room Alone 401-410 (2014), a role he repeated in Room Alone 2 (2015). Under GMMTV he then played Hed in U-Prince, Jay in SOTUS and Boss in Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy 2, all in 2016, followed by Kan in Water Boyy (2017), Wave in Mint To Be and PP in 3 Will Be Free (2019).
In 2020 he played Type in 2gether and Still 2gether, and again in 2gether: The Movie (2021). His screen partner there, Mike Chinnarat Siripongchawalit as Man, came back with him the same year in Tonhon Chonlatee, where the two played Ai and Ni, roommates of the lead and a couple kept secret. After nearly a decade with GMMTV he chose not to renew his contract in December 2022, to work on independent projects and his businesses. Since then he has played Tob in Intern in My Heart and Sky in The Outing, both in 2024.
Here is a pattern worth spotting: Toptap kept his screen partner when the franchise changed. Type and Man in 2gether became Ai and Ni in Tonhon Chonlatee within the same year, so the second series plays like a sequel that nobody officially announced. Six years earlier he had done the same thing alone, carrying Poom and Tul from one season of a series into the next.
My tip: go back to Room Alone 401-410 after 2gether. It holds his first lead, and seeing Tul first makes Type look like the senior of the friend group, which, in credits at least, he was.
