Hit Bite Love (Thai: รักชอบเจ็บ) is a 2023 Thai television series in the romantic drama, mystery and boys' love (BL) genres, directed by Yuan Tin Tun Danop and produced by Jinloe Media Work.[1] The series aired from 21 January to 25 February 2023, with weekly episodes on Saturdays on Amarin TV 34 HD .[2]
The series consists of three interconnected standalone stories exploring different aspects of teenage love and relationships: "Love vs Make Love", "Like vs Be Liked" and "Hurt vs Hell".[3]
Synopsis
The series follows three teenage couples at a Thai school:
Love vs Make Love: Ken (Pure Napolpong) and Shokun (Bigboss Woraphon) are in a secret relationship. Ken wants to keep it hidden, but Shokun, tired of being someone's secret, ends the relationship and starts dating Matteo (Alan Campana), the student council president. Matteo prefers BDSM, while Shokun has more traditional preferences, creating conflict between them.[1]
Like vs Be Liked: Burger (Jur Vasin) is the new student at school. He sits next to King (Newyear Nawaphat), the theater club president. Due to a misunderstanding, King starts to believe that Burger is interested in him and begins pursuing him, leading to a series of embarrassing situations.[1]
Hurt vs Hell: Hida (Vic Vittawin) and Saint (Tae Natthapat) become brothers after their parents marry. Despite not being blood related, they develop a deep bond. When Saint starts dating Pin, Hida feels left out and hurt, doing everything he can to break them up.[1]
All the stories are connected by a police investigation into a student's death, which is revealed throughout the episodes.[4]
