What happens

Love of Silom (รักแห่งสีลม, Rak Haeng Silom) is a 2026 Thai BL romance adapted from Violet Rain's novel of the same name, set where Bangkok's Silom district keeps its two faces: corporate towers by day, nightlife after dark. Krit Krisadawut Siriwatmontri (Up Poompat Iam-samang) is a young police captain who never wanted the badge. Born into a traditional Thai-Chinese family and bound by filial duty, he followed his father into the National Police Bureau and has spent years keeping the rest of himself out of sight; his father has made plain what would happen if Krit were ever seen with a man. Across the district, Wayu (Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat) is a university student who was handed adulthood far too early.

Krit's long-hidden relationship ends when the boyfriend he supported in secret reaches idol stardom and walks away, leaving him cold, guarded and finished with love. Wayu's life narrows for different reasons: abandoned by his parents and left on his own after his teenage sister disappears, he takes a job at a Silom nightclub to keep himself and his infant nephew Singto (Leica Nonnarat Weeraratsuphakul) fed. The two men meet on the worst possible night, when a violent confrontation with a club customer brings Krit in as the responding officer. What follows is a slow, wary recognition between one man who has learned that being seen is dangerous and another who has never had the luxury of hiding, and the connection between them keeps running into Krit's family, his uniform, and everything he has agreed not to want.

Directed by Pepzi Banchorn Vorasataree and produced by Insight Entertainment with YYDS Entertainment for WeTV, Love of Silom premiered on 24 April 2026 as part of the platform's Always More 2026 lineup, airing weekly on Friday nights at 20:00 Thailand time.

8/10

Confession: give me a grumpy man in a uniform and a sunshine boy who is clearly running on three hours of sleep, and I am already reaching for the remote. Love of Silom knows exactly what it is doing with that combination. Its own theme list literally says "Cold Man and Warm Man", which is about as honest as a show can be.

A Badge He Never Asked For

Krit (Up Poompat Iam-samang) is a young police captain who did not want the job. He comes from a traditional Thai-Chinese family, followed his father into the National Police Bureau out of filial duty, and has spent years keeping the rest of himself out of sight, because his father has made it very clear what would happen if Krit were ever seen with a man. Then the boyfriend he backed in secret becomes an idol and walks off. So by the time the story picks him up, Krit is cold, guarded and officially done with love. Officially.

Night Shifts, One Tiny Nephew, Zero Free Time

Wayu (Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat) is a university student who got handed adulthood way too early. His parents abandoned him, his teenage sister disappeared, and he is raising his infant nephew Singto by working at a Silom nightclub. If you have a soft spot for the "young guardian doing his best" type, Wayu will have you wanting to send him a casserole.

Their first meeting is not a cute bump in a coffee queue. A club customer turns violent, and Krit shows up as the responding officer. One of them is there on duty, the other is the person something just happened to, and the romance has to climb out of that gap.

Silom by Day, Silom by Night

The setting does a lot of heavy lifting. Silom has corporate towers in daylight and nightlife after dark, and the two leads basically live on opposite shifts of the same street. Add Krit's family, his uniform and a closet he has kept shut for years, and you get proper forbidden love with a slow burn. Mood wise, think tender and grown up, with real family pressure and homophobia in the mix, so this leans angsty more than fluffy. The rating is 15+.

There is also a nice detail for book readers: Violet Rain wrote the original novel and is the lead screenwriter too, so the story is in the author's own hands.

Your Friday Night Plan

Twelve episodes of about 67 minutes, released on WeTV on Fridays at 20:00 Thailand time from 24 April to 26 June 2026. Two episodes dropped together on opening night and another pair arrived on 29 May. WeTV also carries a longer version listed as Love of Silom (Uncut Ver.), which puts back footage trimmed from the standard cut, so pick that one if you want everything. For the soundtrack, keep an ear out for "Actually", credited to Up with Beam Voranan.

If this pairing gets under your skin, UpPoom has its own page so you can see what else the two have done together. My tip: start on a free evening, because opening night was a double bill and you will want both.

Final Score: 8/10

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is the Silom district central to the story?

Because Silom keeps two faces, and the series needs both. Corporate towers fill it by day and nightlife takes it over after dark, so the same streets carry a respectable public life and the nightlife the story is built around. The leads move between the two.

Did all twelve episodes arrive one a week?

Not quite. The pattern was Fridays at 20:00 Thailand time on WeTV from 24 April to 26 June 2026, but the premiere put out two episodes on the opening night, and another pair arrived together on 29 May. Episodes run about 67 minutes.

Who plays Krit and Wayu?

Up Poompat Iam-samang plays Krit, a young police captain who never wanted the badge, and Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat plays Wayu. Mark Khanatsanan Naktakhe appears as Nut, Tan Taofa Maneeprasopchok as Ice and Leica Nonnarat Weeraratsuphakul as Singto. The leads are known together as UpPoom.

Did the novelist have a hand in the series?

Yes, unusually so. Violet Rain wrote the source novel รักแห่งสีลม and also served as screenwriter on the adaptation, with credited support from Yui Kanokphan Ornrattanasakul, Eng Issaraporn Kuntisuk, Fleur Irene Insot and Natthakit Fungcharoen. Pepzi Banchorn Vorasataree directed.
