Supanut’s Best Yet? My Thoughts on His Latest Series
Supanut — OMG, his character is so different from Way in To Sir, With Love! He’s absolutely amazing. And of course, his chemistry with P’Ping — no questions there, it’s just perfect. The story’s setting is beautiful, and I love how it’s a romcom; such a breath of fresh air!I also really love Jade — he’s honestly one of my favorites in the series. I just find it so impressive how funny, expressive, and natural they all are. However, I wish Prince’s story had been explored more, especially since he didn’t return to the present time and chose to stay with Kosol.
I also wish the series was a bit longer because their story felt a bit open-ended. It would’ve been nice to get to know Prince more. But overall, it’s such a great series! I really hope there’s a Season 2 so we can dive deeper into the storyline.
I’m also hoping for more lead roles for Supanut — I’ve adored him since PitBabe, and I know he has so much more to offer.

INDEED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNT
May I just say that this is a phenomenal drama for me ! First because of Waradej's character ! She was the first fem boy I have watched in main character ! Nut really did gave justice to that character from start to end ! I just like them as a couple like one is girly and one is manly as rock everything about them is insane ! I really hope people will make dramas with a like this couple again.The story and the plot was exciting and the character development ! Specially to Chayached ! I was really glad he became brave and fight and not rely on his brother and I liked they way Kosol taught him.
You guys definitely have to try this one! I have watched so many Korean Historical drama like in a Palace set up and watching a Thai Historical Like Palace set up was a refreshing one and so fun to learn that their set up was like that , nothing disappointed me here everyone was lovely and Banjong ! Can I say that I also liker his character and His smile ! And Chayached was so adorable , his tandem with Jade was just enough.
I was actually thinking that maybe when Waradej comes back to the present time she will meet the Kosol of Present , that was my expectation but it did not happened like that, what I mean is it was not the usual and I like it
The show was really funny and lovely and serious ! I thought the show was really made with a careful thinking and a good execution I am satisfied with everything.
This has become my comfort drama more than you know ! And in regards with Waradej being the president , maybe that is the point of this drama, a messege to sent to people that there can be a success without violence and of course LGBT promotion hehe, there will always be a huge and loooong discussion about this but I wish the same thing to everyone, to have a freedom and to have respect to each other and to find themselves a Kosol in their lives or a Waradej !
All in all very amazing, its phenomenal it deserves a recognition ! More shows like this pls ! A comfort drama , not heavy at all, definitely a highly recommended one

Almost beautiful
Funny and entertaining… until it gets so boring. I honestly have so much laughed during the first half of the show. Having Nut played as Woradet is the best part of it. He is such a goofy and dramatic queen who carries out the whole team’s success. Then we have Jet, and his sexy servant shorts are captivating. The set of casts looks so pretty.The most memorable scene is when Woradet, Jet, Kosol, and Banjong were captivated inside a prison cave. In which the MCs are trying to make each other jealous by doing so extra to the point that they kissed the other party around. These scenes were so hilarious. Peak comedy!
Unfortunately, they failed to polish a more reasonable plot twist and make the story much appealing. I was so bored watching the usual rivalry for the throne with deaths and killing involved. It even feels more annoying when the main antagonists are exempted from dying due to the MC's unreasonable kindness. Kosol, with Woradet’s influence, can easily kill a soldier, but decides to spare the life of the villain. Making it worse by letting him roam free around without shouldering the consequences of his evil deeds that just recently happened.
I was disappointed. I know that it became so bad when I did not give any attention anymore to what would happen to them, and by fast-forwarded the speed of watching the show. I just continue watching for the hope that the next EP will improve this, but it has not happened at all. From a perfect ten rating, I decided to give this show at least an eight of score for the fun time I had during the first half.

Sassy. Scandalous. Spectacularly Sentimental.
I can’t remember the last time a series made me this giddy. The moment I saw the trailer and pilot for I’m the Most Beautiful Count, I was hooked — raving about it to anyone who’d listen. This 2025 Thai BL fantasy-historical drama has everything: time travel, political intrigue, forbidden love, and a lead character who brings pure diva energy to the wrong century.The story follows Prince, a modern queer pop star at the peak of fame who, right after coming out, suddenly wakes up in the body of Worradej, a nobleman in old-world Siam. What follows is a whirlwind of palace politics, class struggles, secret romances, and identity battles as Prince tries to uncover Worradej’s past — and maybe find a way back home. It’s not just time travel; it’s time travel with flair.
Adapted from the popular webtoon “I’m the Most Beautiful Count in Siam” (ฉันนี่แหละท่านขุนที่สวยที่สุดในสยาม), the 13-episode series aired on One31 and iQIYI from August to October 2025. It’s directed by Kritsada Techanilobon and written by Yuen Kin Pakka Thi Than Phra, with production from CHANGE2561.
Leading the cast is Nut Supanut Lourhaphanich as the fabulous Prince/Worradej — dazzling in heels one moment, fighting gender norms the next. Ping Orbnithi Leelavetchabutr brings stoic charm as Lord Kosol, the exiled noble with secrets and smouldering stares. Pop Pataraphol Wanlopsiri plays the poetic and conflicted Banjong, while Lee Asre Wattanayakul (Jade) and Aton Thanakorn Techawicha (King Chaiyachet) round out a strong ensemble.
What makes this series stand out is how it blends sharp comedy with meaningful commentary. Beneath the glitter and chaos, it tackles themes like LGBTQ+ rights, gender expression, classism, and patriarchy — all wrapped in humour and heart. It’s bold enough to address the struggles of transwomen and queer individuals in both the modern and historical settings, yet clever enough to do it without ever feeling preachy.
Nut Supanut absolutely owns this role. His performance as Prince/Worradej is both hysterical and heartfelt — flamboyant yet grounded. Whether strutting across a stage or defying social expectations in the royal court, he commands every scene with magnetic charisma. Ping’s Kosol, meanwhile, is the perfect counterbalance — dignified, intense, and quietly vulnerable. Their chemistry is electric, the kind that makes you grin one minute and tear up the next.
The show is brimming with comedy gold, especially the chaotic love triangle between Worradej, Kosol, and Banjong. From scandalous misunderstandings to romantic tension, the humour hits just right — playful, cheeky, and utterly addictive. Yet it’s not all laughs; the political subplots and personal revelations give the story surprising emotional weight.
Visually, I’m the Most Beautiful Count is gorgeous — rich costumes, detailed set design, and cinematography that glows with warmth and colour. Each episode feels like a blend of high drama and high camp, balancing satire with sincerity.
The finale may feel a little rushed, but it still manages to deliver a satisfying, emotional payoff. Without spoiling too much — it’s one of the few time-travel endings that genuinely feels earned.
At its heart, I’m the Most Beautiful Count is a celebration of love, identity, and resilience. It’s funny, heartfelt, and wonderfully over the top — a queer royal romp with something to say. Supanut’s performance alone is worth the watch, but the entire cast brings their A-game, turning what could have been a campy fantasy into something deeply human.
It’s bold. It’s beautiful. It’s scandalously fun. A glittering royal romp through time — witty, emotional, and fabulously queer.
Sparkling, sassy, and surprisingly meaningful — I’m the Most Beautiful Count is one of the most refreshing Thai dramas of the year. A must-watch for fans of historical fantasy, queer romance, and unapologetic storytelling.

Strong start, but the rest falls short
The series tackles modern themes (LGBT acceptance, democracy, slavery, etc.) in a fairly contemporary way. There’s a nice balance between the comedic and political aspects. Having a trans/non-binary and flamboyant main character also brings some much-needed visibility to a community that’s usually portrayed as comic relief.The issue is that the plot is too thin for 13 episodes, so after a while, the story becomes repetitive and a bit dull. The ending feels unfinished, with several storylines left unresolved or wrapped up awkwardly.
Overall, it’s an enjoyable watch, but far from a masterpiece.

Webtoon purists may dislike it, but the comedy is unbeatable
This series had unusually lower rating, but the reviews seemed good, and so did the comments. So I gave it a shot. And trust me: if you want a BL with lots of comedy, this is it. It makes you laugh so much you won't even expect it based on synopsis.The actors, esp. Nut is so good at his role, I had to go watch his interview videos for comparison to see if this character is literally him or not.
I read up on the original work, as well as read some of it. And while it has a comedic tone, it is not as non-serious as the show. The webtoon focuses on various societal issues, that are seemingly removed from the show. Regardless of the reason for their removal, it does take a little bit away from the show. But not to the point where its an unwatchable show.
If you have not had any interaction with the source material, watch it, its a must watch. Because no other BL will bring you the comedy, the pure giggles and the sass this one has.
The acting is solid, and the comedy is top class.
Of course it has some flaws, some parts seem a bit oversimplified or glued together without fitting. But it doesn't mean you can't enjoy this series.

Well paced, sexy, fun, and easy to become immersed in this world
Recently, I've had to resort to watching thai BLs and GLs on a faster speed because the plot is slow/nothing really happens and the characters talk too much (looking at your shows, GMMTV). Not this one though! The first thing that drew me to this show was the trans representation they were going for, the confident flamboyant character that is Prince, and the hope that this would be a fun time travel show — and it delivered with flying colors. The pacing was perfect, the dialogue and characters were fun, the chemistry was steamy and fantastic between Prince and his suitors, the production value was on point, and the story wasn't confusing like time travel shows sometimes end up being. Kosol and Prince were so good together, with just the right of drama and sexual tension between them. While this show wasn't 18+ in terms of sex, they did an excellent job in dancing around it with suggestive situations and dialogue.One more thing – based on the discourse online often negatively targeting pretty and dainty BL actors, I'm aware many BL watchers are put off by campy vibes and feminine men, but I have a feeling, if they got over their stigma (which is clearly rooted in patriarchy, misogyny, and homophobia), they could fall in love with this show too.

Nice try, somewhat fun, but not really worth the time
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNT - ReviewMan, what to say. It is like a split within myself, one side kinda linking it, the other sort of not. Let's break the basics down. The story about Prince a sort of star in a fictional country like Thailand. Now the assessment of who he/she is is difficult because Thailand knows a term called "Kathoey", which as far as I tried to find out has not 100% equivalent in Western terms. In the subs it is translated as "trans-woman", but kathoey seems to cover more, like the Thai "Ladyboys" who not so much are like trans people and all the way to entirely transitioning man to women. But then, read up the term. It just left me personally irritated that I didn't get what Prince/Worradej wanted to be. But then that's just me.
For western eyes, since we do not have the Kaothey culture, I cannot say how much his overacting as extremely stereotypical (some may say caricature) of female identity feels offensive or entertaining. And truth me told: I have no clear mind about it myself. Basically: it is pure cringe. Sometimes cringe can be fun, sometimes not. I can live with a lot of cringe, and that was not so much puzzling me here, when I take my brain out and enjoy the comedy side. On the other had, I DO feel irritated like: is this doing trans or queer or gay people a favor? And being honest, I think not. But then, a series doesn't HAVE to be realistic. Make of that what you wish.
The acting was ok-ish. I found none of it really great in all roles. Then going into a past of Thailand or Asia is always a problem, where does it go into a fantasyland far away from realism, and let's be honest: any attempt to turn a conservative, religions, slave-owning 1400s society into a modern, progressive Republic is... hogwash. Sorry, both as historian and as BL fan, this was just way too much to believe. Suddenly in the end everyone is happy and dancing, villians included, and of course nobody is really dead, despite "dying" many times. This was just... no. It was too much make believe. I heard the webtoon continues after this in the modern world, but then I most certainly have no interest to know MORE about this world.
Was I entertained? Yes, I mean it took much time and I had fun overall, despite the story being hilariously absurd and making no sense at all. Like there is an entire Kingdom, apparently made up of 300 villagers and everything else is "off screen", so politics, army all suddenly seem to play no role. The nobles go, the army vanishes and all end in some Disney-song ending. It was partially like a feaver dream. It felt like a far cry from way outdated slapstick times, but I understand it can be VERY divisive for reasons mentioned. I don't want to be too negative, but overall, despite being okay entertained, I can only rate this a "nice try"
4/10

Comedy in historic setting. tackling social issues and being sassy
I am so glad I gave this drama a chance despite all the comments I read in MDL. This exceeded my expectations. Not a single boring moment.The plot was great. Were there any loose ends? Yes, if we pay enough attention probably many. The ending left me hanging. But till ep 12 I loved everything about the drama. The plot that started just a linear comedy added so much dimension by bringing history, politics, inequality in the society based on gender, financial condition, class and social orientation. It showed the fundamentals of democracy and rebellion against the dictatorship. It's definitely a great plot highlighting such major issues, which is very RARE in BL. Pretty crazy how they blended all this into the comedic aspect of the drama. We need to have more dramas that include and highlights the flaws of the society that needs to be changed.
The production amazed me with how detailed it was. The crew involved in set did a fantastic job. The direction was nice. Sometimes the pacing fell off for a bit but they picked it up quickly. As someone who is not a big fan of comedy, this one definitely didn't disappoint.
A bunch of great actors indeed. Supanut was in his natural habitat but his switch from Prince to Worradej was crazy. Ping is such an introvert but he played a strong intimidating character like Kosol so well. I have only seen Pop in Pitbabe so seeing him in a role like this was crazy. Lee did so good. Belle was so pretty and loved her scenes. Aton truly blew me away. What a great actor at such a young age.
Overall it was a fun watch. Definitely something different that needs more praises.

I Almost Drop This But...
The half of the series really saved it. I love how it turned out in the end. The first six episodes honestly felt like forever because some parts were quite dragging. I even thought of dropping it, but since I was already halfway through—and because I wanted to support Nut—I decided to continue watching.Nut is actually one of my 13 favorite BL actors. I first knew him from Pit Babe and instantly liked him, so I ended up watching all his BL series including Something in My Room and Oxygen. He truly deserves more continuous projects because he’s such a versatile actor—he can be both masculine and feminine, and his acting skills are top-tier.
Aside from Nut being one of the main characters, I also enjoyed that the drama has a historical and time-travel theme, which I’m really fond of. It even has a touch of comedy on the side.
Now, let’s talk a bit about the storyline. The story follows Prince, a transgender superstar in the entertainment industry. One night, she’s drugged by someone who’s homophobic and passes out. The next thing showed she was already at the hospital—but when she opens her eyes, the environment around her has completely changed. It turns out she’s been transported 100 years into the past, now living as Woradet, a young nobleman.
The story also touches on politics and power struggles, which still reflect issues in modern times. The people around her fight for control over the country. Prince, coming from the future, uses her knowledge of history and clever strategies to influence the events of that era. Through her actions, she changes the course of history—especially in terms of freedom and LGBT rights.
Characters
Prince – Loud, outspoken, and always full of ideas, especially when problems arise.
Woradet – Soft-spoken but becomes rebellious, since he knows the government’s methods are unjust.
Kosol – A strong personality. I wasn’t a fan of how he treated Prince at first—it seemed like he didn’t like her—but he eventually grew on me.
Banjong – His character felt inconsistent. He poisoned Woradet yet claimed to love her. Later, he even shot her (now Prince), but then confessed his love again. You just don’t do that to someone you love, right? Especially when the other person also has valid reasons for their actions.
Chaiyachet – Kosol’s brother. A skilled master with a childlike personality, carefree and uninterested in ruling. He just wants to live as a commoner.
Jade – Chaiyachet’s loyal servant. They share such good chemistry that the show could’ve made them a second couple, but instead portrayed them as having a strong master-servant bond.
I liked the ending—everyone ends up happy, even the villain. But one question still lingers in my mind: What happened to modern Prince’s body? Since the real Prince stayed in the past, did he die in the present? It would break my heart if that’s the case.
Anyway, I was captivated by both the costumes and cinematography—they did an excellent job on that part. Overall, I’m satisfied with I’m the Most Beautiful Count. Despite some dragging parts, I’m glad I didn’t drop it, because it truly got better as it went on.

I’m the Most Beautiful Count was overall alright for me
I’m the Most Beautiful Count was overall alright for me. The setting, location, and execution were decent, and it turned out to be a fun and entertaining watch.It’s a light, funny series, and I did find myself enjoying it quite a bit. The cast is also very attractive, which honestly became a distraction at times 😅
There’s a clear sense of yearning at the beginning, though the story also implies that it was already established, so I was fine with that direction.
The comedic take on historical government reform was surprisingly amusing and well-executed in its own way.
Overall, it’s worth watching if you want something fun and easy to enjoy.
