From Superstar to Nobleman: ‘I’m the Most Beautiful Count’ Premieres with a Bang
August 1, 2025 – Bangkok, Thailand — In a year already filled with exciting BL stories and powerful romance series, I’m the Most Beautiful Count arrives with grand visuals, strong characters, and an emotional story that fans are already praising online.
The new Thai fantasy-BL series premiered today on iQIYI and tells the story of a modern-day queer celebrity who wakes up in the past — in the royal world of the Thonburi Kingdom — as a nobleman. There, he faces both romance and challenges while discovering what love and identity mean in a time that barely understands him.
A Mix of Fantasy, Romance, and Identity
The show opens in present-day Bangkok, then takes a magical turn as the main character is thrown into the past. The moment the royal palace appears, the viewers are promised a different type of BL series — one that combines history, love, and self-discovery.
“This is Red, White & Royal Blue meets The Untamed meets Your Name — but with more style, deeper romance, and much better lighting,” said TikTok user @boyslove_babe22 in a viral video with over 40k views.
Many fans on social media talked about how beautiful the show looks. One user posted, “The colors, costumes, and music? It’s like watching art come to life.” Another fan, @mintychaiplease, tweeted, “And the acting? The Count doesn’t just walk into the scene — he owns it.”
A Queer Love Story That’s Brave and Honest
More than just a romantic drama, this series highlights the emotional journey of a man trying to be himself in a time when being different could mean danger. Actor Supanut Lourhaphanich (Nut) plays the lead role with confidence and charm, making the audience care deeply about his story.
Dr. Ploy Tharathorn, a Thai culture analyst, said, “This isn’t just another BL show. It’s a big step forward. We’re seeing a proud queer lead in a Thai period drama, treated with respect and not as a side character or comic relief.”
Fans Around the World Can’t Get Enough
Even before the first episode aired, fans worldwide were posting about the series. YouTube reviews, Reddit threads, and MyDramaList forums were full of theories, excitement, and questions about the storyline.
“If this ends in heartbreak like The Eternal Emperor, I will cry for days. Let him be happy, please!” a fan wrote on Reddit.
“I just want one scene where he invents iced coffee in the palace. That would be perfect,” another fan joked.
First Episode Reactions: Love at First Watch
Only a few hours after the premiere, the hashtag #MostBeautifulCountEp1 started trending in Thailand, the Philippines, and even Brazil. Viewers praised everything from the dialogue to the costumes.
“I cried in the first 15 minutes. Not because it was sad, but because it was beautiful to see someone like me in a story like this,” tweeted @sarapdinbl.
“It’s like Bridgerton, but the Duke loves men. And it’s done seriously, not for laughs,” said a fan in a Facebook group.
What’s Coming Next?
The creators of the show promised more drama, romance, and surprises in the coming weeks. There will be challenges, heartache, and joyful moments — and fans are ready for it all.
Wavemind Studios, the production company behind the show, shared that the story will not just focus on love, but also on how queer people existed and resisted in history. Despite the fantasy setting, the emotions are very real.
There are also early talks that the series could be nominated for international awards, and with the buzz it’s already creating, that wouldn’t be surprising.
