1. Peach Lover
Peach Lover is a ten-episode Thai LGBT romance drama listed by iQIYI for 2026. Its story follows Po, a devoted fan who applies to work with the returning adult creator known as Peach Lover. Rehearsed intimacy gradually becomes something harder to keep professional as the pair encounter each other's off-camera selves.
Best for: mature romance, blurred professional boundaries, sensual slow burn and feelings that become real before either lead is ready to name them.
Want a BL-inspired route after watching?
KUN lets you explore original anime-style companion routes with fictional adult characters, memory and voice-note moments. It does not replace official Thai BL shows or copy their characters.

Your Dear Daddy is an eight-episode Thai LGBT romance listed by iQIYI for 2026. Saitharn leaves home for Chiang Rai and meets Sila while carrying physical and emotional pain. Their relationship moves through healing, betrayal and a reversal in which Saitharn learns he can become a protector too.
Best for: hurt/comfort, mutual healing, mature emotional stakes and guarded characters who learn to accept care.
