GL fans, heads up! Another Thai sapphic novel will be having its live adaptation this year.

SixTeenSeven’s sapphic novel ‘Petrichor หยดฝนกลิ่นสนิม’, also known as “Rust in the Rain”, is reportedly having its live adaptation, which was produced by TV Thunder, known for their Thai BL ‘Manner of Death’ and ‘Triage’, in collaboration with Miss Grand Thailand. The drama will feature ‘Show Me Love The Series’ actors and real-life beauty queens Engfa Waraha and Charlotte Austin as Lieutenant Colonel Tulay, whose names mean Libra, and Dr. Cheran, respectively.

The live broadcast reveals that the production’s filming is planned to start in June and will be directed by Pannares Ruchirananta (Poy). The drama consists of 10 episodes with 25–30 schedule queues, which takes a month to complete and is expected to be released in the fourth quarter, from October to November. Lastly, it will be streaming for free, while its uncut episodes may require a subscription fee.

The drama follows the first meeting of Lieutenant Colonel Tulay, the newly assigned female police officer in the Criminal Investigation Department, and Dr. Cheran, a female forensic pathologist from the Institute of Legal Sciences, which proved to be quite challenging due to their differing work attitudes. Both struggled to adapt amidst the criminal cases reflecting societal issues. Tulay faced pressure from a system favoring influential groups, interference aimed at self-protection, and societal pressures. However, neither Tulay nor Cheran succumbed to these challenges. As they collaborated in investigating cases, Cheran’s forensic examinations provided crucial evidence leading to the identification of perpetrators in each case. With each passing day, their trust in each other grew stronger, and they became dedicated to protecting the lives of the innocent and ultimately delivering justice to the families of the victims.
