LOVEx3

LOVEx3 (หลักสูตร (รัก) ภาคบังคับ, literally Compulsory (Love) Curriculum) is a Thai Boys’ Love series that premiered on Channel 9 MCOT HD on 16 August 2026. It runs fifteen weekly episodes on Sunday nights, with international streaming on iQIYI.

The framing device is a school that has made love a mandatory subject. Everything takes place at Thapfa Wittayanusorn, and the series follows six students across three separate romances rather than one central couple: Physics Kittiteerawat (Krit Ngamtanakijja), Fuen, full name Tinnaphat Phichitchainon (Phop Pongphop Samranchaiyakorn), Din, full name Phudin Assawaphalakul (Pao Pichitchai Limpakuptathaworn), Star, full name Satayu Siriwatthanawongphaisan (Tonkla Saharat Sirithumkunti), Aof, full name Akkharawit Charoenwet (NJ Deeprompt Soontornsittisopa), and Chemi Kittiteerawat (Chok Ditheechok Wongbunditjaroen).

Physics and Chemi share a surname, which means two of the six are siblings. That is a useful piece of construction: the three stories are not sealed off from one another, they run through the same family and the same school. What they cover is three stages of the same problem. Feelings that were never returned. A promise made years earlier that nobody ever released anyone from. And a relationship that has to survive the move out of high school and into university.

The production comes from tia51 and adapts LOVE ยกกำลัง 3, a group of novels by Chiffon_cake, folding three of them into a single fifteen-episode run. Filming was completed in July 2026, a little over two months after it began.

The series had an unusually visible casting change. tia51 announced it in December 2025 with an official pilot that starred Sangcharoen Jirappapa and Tatchapong Chotchaicharin as one of the lead pairs, but both actors left the project before filming began. Their roles were recast, and the replacement pairing was revealed in the official trailer in June 2026.
