Century of Love ปาฏิหาริย์รักร้อยปี is a 10-episode Thai lakorn series which premiered on July 10, 2024. This is another lakorn series with LGBTQ+ theme (well, BL if you insists, haha…) from Thailand’s Channel One31 following the very successful To Sir, With Love from 2022 and last year’s series Laws of Attraction. I have watched the first episode at normal speed and it didn’t disappoint, at least I didn’t have the urge to watch it at 2× speed like I do for many Thai BL series in the last couple of years and then drop it after just one or two episodes, LOL… Another thing I judged Thai BL series nowadays is whether the theme song is sung by a recording artist or not, if it is I usually have more confidence about the drama having interesting plotlines. On the other hand, if it is sung by the two male leads, then most of the time the drama is trying to attract audiences who just want to ship the two leading actors and not too worry about the plotlines!
