The Thai GL stars Milk and Love, known for Bad Buddy, 23.5, and The Whale Store, are heading to Manila for a special fan meeting this January.
Because love knows no bounds. From BrightWin to FreenBecky, Filipinos have always shown big love for stories that celebrate all kinds of love—stories that break labels and embrace diversity. This is evident even in local series, like Gameboys, Gaya Sa Pelikula, and Hello Stranger, as well as in fandoms like JaneNella and Darlentina, which even led to the viral Hey, You music video, and the GL film Rookie.
These series and pairings mirror the many colors of real life, which features stories of growing up, fighting societal expectations, and discovering your truth. They hit us with that different kind of kilig that’s both tender and empowering. Beyond the romance, they remind us that love stories can bridge social divides, bring healing, and spark understanding.
And what better way to celebrate this kind of love than by starting the year with two of Thailand’s most adored GL icons? Mark your calendars, as Milk Pansa Vosbein and Love Pattranite Limpatiyakorn, better known as MilkLove, are coming back to Manila for their much-awaited fan meeting: HEARTDROP.

Their chemistry first sparked in Bad Buddy, where they stole hearts despite being side characters. That undeniable connection later paved the way for them to become GMMTV’s first-ever Girls’ Love duo, headlining their own series 23.5 in 2024. The show became a massive hit, earning praise for its refreshing take on queer love and self-discovery. Following that, the two starred in Whale Store xoxo in 2025, cementing their status as one of Asia’s most beloved GL pairings. And the best part? They’re set to lead Girl Rules, an upcoming GMMTV ensemble featuring some of the studio’s strongest female pairings! Exciting, right?
