What happens

A magazine publishes a ranking, and two actors end up managed into each other's company because of it. Akin (Raweewit "Boom" Jiraphongkanon) arrives with a five-year winning streak in a Most Huggable Man award, an honour that measures desirability, not craft, and is re-run every year, and Jin (Chisanupong "Smart" Puangmanee) is the one who might break it. A streak has to be broken by somebody, so the rivalry begins as an accounting problem, not a personal grudge, and the industry that manages both their images keeps pushing them together. Jade (Pongsakorn "Toey" Mettarikanon) and Johnny (Peeranat "Peanut" Veeranipitkul) lead the second storyline, and the veteran film director Kongkiat Khomsiri turns up in the cast as Hongtae.

Tailai Entertainment made the series with WeTV under director Wasakorn Khumklaowiriya. Eleven episodes of 39 to 56 minutes ran across nine Thursdays from 20 March to 15 May 2025, with two double drops making up the difference. The series reached number one on WeTV in ten countries and took Best Adapted Series at the Thailand Box Office Awards 2025. Both leads act for a living, so the romance is between two people whose job is producing convincing feeling on cue, and the ranking turns affection into a published metric before it is ever a private one.

Also Known As

Adaptation
Adapted from the Japanese Boys' Love manga Dakaichi: I'm Being Harassed by the Sexiest Man of the Year (抱かれたい男1位に脅されています。) by Hashigo Sakurabi, published by Libre and serialised in Magazine Be x Boy since July 2013. This is the world's first live-action adaptation of the manga; a Japanese anime series followed it in 2018 and a Japanese animated film in 2021, but no drama version existed before this one. The direction of the adaptation is itself unusual, since Thai Boys' Love productions almost always adapt Thai source material rather than licensing from Japan.

7.5/10

Five years in a row, Akin has been crowned the Most Huggable Man by a magazine. Five! And now a rival named Jin might just knock him off the top spot. If you have ever wondered what happens when two actors are forced to share a spotlight neither of them wants to give up, Top Form The Series has a very funny, very swoony answer.

Huggability Is a Competitive Sport

Raweewit "Boom" Jiraphongkanon plays Akin, the reigning champion, and Chisanupong "Smart" Puangmanee plays Jin, the one who might end his streak. The award measures desirability, not acting skill, and it is re-run every year, so somebody has to break the streak eventually. Their rivalry starts out as a scoreboard problem, not a personal grudge, and the industry that manages both their images keeps pushing them together anyway. Rivals to lovers in showbiz, with a magazine ranking as matchmaker. Delicious.

Professional Feelings, Real Feelings

Here is my favourite wrinkle: both leads play actors, people whose job is producing convincing emotion on cue. So when feelings show up for real, how do you tell the difference? The ranking turns affection into a public number before it ever becomes something private, and watching them sort out which is which is half the fun. I also like that an outside institution does the pushing, so neither character has to be written as a villain to keep the conflict going. Jade (Pongsakorn "Toey" Mettarikanon) and Johnny (Peeranat "Peanut" Veeranipitkul) lead the second storyline, and veteran film director Kongkiat Khomsiri pops up in the cast as Hongtae.

From Japanese Manga to Thai Screens

This is the world's first live-action version of Hashigo Sakurabi's manga Dakaichi, published by Libre, which had already been an anime in 2018 and an animated film in 2021. A Thai studio licensing a Japanese manga is a fun reversal in itself, and the premiere even went out on Rakuten TV in Japan at the same time as WeTV in Thailand. Tailai Entertainment made it with WeTV, directed by Wasakorn Khumklaowiriya.

Thursday Nights, Sometimes Doubled

Eleven episodes of 39 to 56 minutes ran on WeTV on Thursdays at 20:00 from 20 March to 15 May 2025, with double drops on 20 March and 24 April. It hit number one on WeTV in ten countries and took Best Adapted Series at the Thailand Box Office Awards 2025. The opening theme, "I'm Still In Love with You," is sung by Jake $ing.

If you enjoy this team, Nour shares the studio, the director and two performers. Who will love it? Fans of showbiz romance, rivals to lovers and fluffy comedy with real heart. Mood: glossy, playful and sweet.

Final Score: 7.5/10
