Krit is a disciplined young police captain from a traditional family of Chinese descent in which filial piety is treated as absolute law. He entered the Police Academy to satisfy his father, a senior officer at the National Police Bureau, although he never wanted to wear the uniform. His family strongly opposes same-sex relationships, and his father has threatened harm if he ever sees Krit with a man; a past boyfriend, whom Krit had supported in pursuing an idol career, abandoned him after finding success, leaving Krit cold and closed to love.[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/81313/love-of-silom) • [6](https://mementobl.com/en/series/695/)\n\nWayu is an architecture student near graduation whose family problems push him into work he never expected: he becomes a bar host at Moonlit, a host bar in Silom, to repay his mother's debts and care for the baby his younger sister abandoned with him. After a senior host sets him up with a violent client, Krit comes to his rescue, and the encounter begins their relationship. Krit later asks Wayu to act as a police informant in a human-trafficking case Wayu has unknowingly become entangled in, leaving Wayu unsure whether Krit is playing with his heart or genuinely interested.[7](https://www.siamzone.com/drama/2759) • [2](https://blglflix.com/titles/love-of-silom/)\n\nThe story's themes include closeted romance, family pressure, homophobia, filial piety, Thai-Chinese heritage, single-parent caretaking, and working-class romance.[2](https://blglflix.com/titles/love-of-silom/)\n\n## Cast\n\nUp Poompat Iam-samang and Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat, a pairing known to fans as \"UpPoom\", lead the series as Krit and Wayu.[4](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38856645/) • [8](https://www.naewna.com/entertain/961837) The supporting cast includes Siravitch Kamonworawut, Supakit Phuengpradach, Talay Sanguandikul, Yanissa Diratorn, Chanakan Poonsiriwong, Perawitch Chotimanon, Intouch Kooramasuwan, Tanapon Hathaidachadusadee, Phollawat Manuprasert, and Wacharin Anantapong, among others.[2](https://blglflix.com/titles/love-of-silom/)\n\n## Production and release\n\nThe series premiered on WeTV on Friday, April 24, 2026, with new episodes released weekly on Fridays at 20:00 Thailand time.[2](https://blglflix.com/titles/love-of-silom/) WeTV offered a Fast Track release giving VIP subscribers access to episodes two weeks ahead of the regular schedule.[1](https://www.dramabl.com/drama/love-of-silom/) Episodes were released in both uncut and standard versions; for example, episode 7 ran 1 hour 14 minutes 59 seconds uncut against 57 minutes 19 seconds in the standard cut.[3](https://www.world-of-bl.com/index.php/Thai/LoveOfSilom)\n\nThe finale date is reported differently across databases: TVmaze, MyShows, and WoBL list the final episode on July 3, 2026, while DramaBL, MeMento, and Moviefone give June 26, 2026 as the end date.[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/81313/love-of-silom) • [9](https://myshows.me/view/94487/) • [3](https://www.world-of-bl.com/index.php/Thai/LoveOfSilom) • [1](https://www.dramabl.com/drama/love-of-silom/) • [6](https://mementobl.com/en/series/695/) • [10](https://www.moviefone.com/tv-shows/love-of-silom/8Jh8klhMfOt8YBVCmvixm6/) The discrepancy likely reflects the Fast Track schedule, under which VIP viewers saw the finale two weeks before the regular release.[1](https://www.dramabl.com/drama/love-of-silom/)\n\n## Reception\n\nThe series drew strong social-media attention after its first two episodes, with the leads' chemistry and memes of the \"handsome police officer\" and \"top host\" spreading widely on Thai social platforms.[8](https://www.naewna.com/entertain/961837) On IMDb it holds a rating of 7.8/10 from 298 votes, and users singled out the performances, particularly the actors playing the host bar staff.[4](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38856645/)\n\n## References\n\n1.
