Follow My Sunshine

Follow My Sunshine, in Vietnamese Sau Vạt Nắng, is the earliest Vietnamese boys' love title held in this catalogue. Five episodes of fifteen to twenty-seven minutes went out between 23 December 2020 and 20 January 2021 on Come Out - LGBT Việt Nam, a Vietnamese YouTube channel devoted to queer content rather than a production house.

Van and Nhat, played by Thai Thanh Nhan and Huy Du, have been friends since childhood, attend the same university and share a boarding house. One of them has been in love with the other for years without saying so, partly because the other is already seeing someone. Across five episodes that silence is forced into the open through accusation and confession. Do Nhat Ha appears as An and Hoang Duy as Tuong.

The distribution is what separates this from everything else in the group. There is no studio on the record at all, no director and no screenwriter; what exists instead is a community channel, an official trailer announcing a première at eight in the evening on 23 December 2020, and five episodes that followed weekly. The series was later carried by MCV TV as a single feature-length upload and picked up by several other Vietnamese queer-drama channels.

It also found an audience out of proportion to its means. The first episode on Come Out - LGBT Việt Nam has passed a million views, and the later episodes each hold between five and seven hundred thousand, figures that no other Vietnamese title in this catalogue approaches. Some listings date the series to 2021, and the Absolute BL master post files it under that year; this record uses 2020, because the trailer and the first episode are both dated to December of that year and a specific sourced date outranks a general one. That trailer is still on the channel, which is how the date was checked.
