Seeking relief, he visits a bar called BURNOUT, a space designed for people worn down by work, where he meets Pheem (Dew Jirawat), a charming IT specialist; the two hit it off and exchange phone numbers[5](https://www.gmm-tv.com/contents/zXvnM/?fbrefresh=CAN_BE_ANYTHING) • [7](https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1770702674).\n\nThrough Pheem, Jira encounters Koh Korrawick ([Off Jumpol](https://www.edgepedia.org/off-jumpol)), a reclusive startup CEO and owner of a well-known online shopping platform who despises meeting people and needs a stand-in to represent him in business negotiations. Koh hires Jira as \"Mr. K\" under one condition: Koh himself will pose for Jira's paintings. The arrangement revives Jira's art, blurs the line between inspiration and desire, and draws both men into a relationship that goes beyond employment, while Pheem enters the same game as a rival for Jira's heart[2](https://www.iq.com/album/burnout-syndrome-2025-25iso5j37mt?lang=en_us) • [8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqtE21HQ-KU).\n\n### Cast and characters\n\n- **Off Jumpol Adulkittiporn as Koh Korrawick**: an anti-social, wealthy startup CEO who does not trust people and avoids facing his own traumas; his relationship with Jira moves beyond the professional[2](https://www.iq.com/album/burnout-syndrome-2025-25iso5j37mt?lang=en_us) • [11](https://www.mustafasonmez.com/en/burnout-syndrome-bl/).\n- **Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat as Jira**: a burned-out artist who has lost his job and makes a deal with Koh for money, caught between Pheem, whom he met at the Burnout Bar, and Koh[11](https://www.mustafasonmez.com/en/burnout-syndrome-bl/).\n- **Dew Jirawat Sutivanichsak as Pheem**: both a childhood friend and a business colleague of Koh, a figure in the love triangle and also caught in the middle of Koh's business decisions[11](https://www.mustafasonmez.com/en/burnout-syndrome-bl/).\n- **Emi Thasorn Klinnium as Ing**: Jira's loyal friend[2](https://www.iq.com/album/burnout-syndrome-2025-25iso5j37mt?lang=en_us).\n- Supporting roles include AJ Chayapol Jutamas as Mawin and Thor Thinnaphan Tantui as Ben[2](https://www.iq.com/album/burnout-syndrome-2025-25iso5j37mt?lang=en_us).\n\n## Production and release\n\nThe series was announced at GMMTV's new-lineup event \"GMMTV 2025 RIDING THE WAVE\" on 26 November 2024 as part of the 2025 slate[9](https://sip-thailand.com/drama/drama-info/5070/). Official filming began on 29 August 2025, with the three leads Off, Gun, and Dew attending the camera-opening ceremony[10](https://www.daradaily.com/news/153830/read).\n\n**Broadcast pattern.** Episodes aired weekly on GMM25 on Wednesday evenings at 20:30, with online release on the iQIYI app and website at 21:30; internationally, episodes with English subtitles appeared on the GMMTV YouTube channel[5](https://www.gmm-tv.com/contents/zXvnM/?fbrefresh=CAN_BE_ANYTHING) • [6](https://world-of-bl.com/index.php/Thai/BurnoutSyndrome). In Japan, the series streamed on Rakuten TV simultaneously with Thailand and reached first place on the platform's daily ranking[7](https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1770702674).\n\nThe soundtrack includes \"My Forever,\" performed by Off Jumpol and Gun Atthaphan, and a second theme performed by Louis Thanawin, Ford Allan, and Fluke Nattanon[5](https://www.gmm-tv.com/contents/zXvnM/?fbrefresh=CAN_BE_ANYTHING).\n\n## Reception\n\nAggregated viewer scores placed the series in the mid-to-high range: IMDb listed 7.4/10 from 757 votes[12](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34919837), iBoy.tv recorded 8.0/10 from 2,038 ratings[13](https://iboy.tv/title/burnout-syndrome), and the DramaBL database gave a score of 72.5 from 22 votes[4](https://www.dramabl.com/drama/burnout-syndrome/).\n\n**Critical response.** A Thai review highlighted the production's mature tone: the series uses warm, muted color grading, restrained lighting in bar and café scenes, and a quiet emotional register to convey the exhaustion of its characters, a style the reviewer described as closer to Thai indie film than to typical GMMTV youth drama, with the Burnout Bar itself designed as a visible refuge for worn-out people[14](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/8y4E6vDkojzY). A Turkish-language review site scored it 6.6, describing it as a slow-paced story of healing burdened by trauma rather than a passionate romance, and noting that the lead actors, now over 30, play more mature characters than in their earlier work[11](https://www.mustafasonmez.com/en/burnout-syndrome-bl/). A viewer review on the same theme praised the styling, color grading, and the immersive original artwork, while criticizing the handling of Koh's childhood trauma and the ending[15](https://www.gayrr.com/burnout-syndrome-thai-series/).\n\n## The title's double meaning\n\nThe English title names the clinical condition around which the story is built. In Thai public-health material, burnout syndrome (ภาวะหมดไฟ) is described as emotional exhaustion resulting from prolonged, excessive work stress, marked by emotional depletion, withdrawal from others, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment[16](https://www.ddc.moph.go.th/uploads/publish/1428020230522105258.pdf) • [17](https://med.pi.ac.th/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/20250316211159.pdf). The series applies this framing to its protagonist: Jira's burnout is portrayed not as a single dramatic breakdown but as a gradual draining of his art, sense of self, and capacity to love, and the bar where the story begins is presented as a refuge for people in that state[13](https://iboy.tv/title/burnout-syndrome) • [7](https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1770702674).\n\n## References\n\n1.
