About 23.5
23.5, fully titled after the 23.5-degree angle at which the Earth tilts on its axis, is a 2024 Thai girls-love (GL) school romance from GMMTV, adapted from the popular novel of the same name. The series follows Ongsa, a quiet and withdrawn high-school transfer student who has long admired Sun, one of the brightest and most popular girls in her year, from a careful distance. Hiding behind the online pseudonym Earth, Ongsa works up the courage to follow Sun on social media, and when Sun unexpectedly follows back, a tentative, tender connection blooms between them.
What begins as a secret crush conducted through screens slowly becomes a real friendship and, in time, a gentle first love. As Ongsa and Sun grow closer at school and through their shared astronomy club, the warm, sunny Sun gradually draws the shy Ongsa out of her shell, while Ongsa helps Sun feel truly seen. The pair navigate the small, relatable beauties and anxieties of teenage romance: misread signals, the fear of being known, supportive friends, and the courage it takes to be honest about who you are and who you love.
Celebrated as a milestone girls-love title for GMMTV, 23.5 pairs Milk Pansa Vosbein and Love Pattranite Limpatiyakorn in a soft, sincere coming-of-age story about identity and acceptance. The 12-episode series aired on GMM25, GMMTV's YouTube channel, and Netflix between March and May 2024, drawing an enthusiastic fan response, sold-out finale events, and high demand for official merchandise.
