Another new BL drama from Thailand. Check Out คืนนั้นกับนายดาวเหนือ is a spin-off from Skinship. Interestinly the Thai title translated as That Night with Mr. North Star which I think is a much better title than Check Out, which can be quite confusing for a drama title, LOL. Not sure if the story is a continuation from Skinship or new storylines as I only watched a couple of episodes from season 1 of Skinship and did not watch season 2 at all. According to the announcement video just released, Check Out will premiere on August 22, 2021 with Episode 0, which seems like it will be a prologue or prequel episode and not the proper series episode?

Below are the MV of the song by Ai released in April this year and also the original version by Ōta Hiromi 太田裕美 from 1975 which was an upbeat song…
