Tofu is Nut's teddy bear. Ten years ago, he awoke and found himself part of a world where many best loved household objects wake up and become self-aware. Today, a miracle happened, and Tofu found himself in a human body. Why has this happened? What is a loving teddy bear to do when his human does not recognize him? Tofu works to figure it all out with a constant feeling that everything is temporary. Nut is a successful TV drama writer with a complicated family history, a beloved teddy bear that has gone missing, and a strange young man that has suddenly appeared in his home.
This is one of my all time favorite Thai BLs. The MLs and secondary couple are all gay, not BI. Real issues surrounding lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community in Thailand are called out. Real mental health issues are well portrayed. Toxic behavior is not condoned. Characters experience emotional growth. It is 16 episodes that are an hour and a half each. The style is very Lakorn with a well structured multi-layer plot. The acting is excellent.
