The two girls, already best friends, become closer when Dao tells Koi about her ex-boyfriend whom she slept with before he abandoned her to deal with the ramifications of their premarital sex on her own. In the fourth episode of season two, features Dao ( Sananthachat Thanapatpisal) and Koi ( Kemisara Paladesh). Queer characters may be a new trope for teen dramas, but in this case their stories were presented as matter-of-factly as any other teen love story and felt imminently relatable, even to someone whose coming out experience was 15 years previous and 7,500 miles away. Though I’m not familiar with daily Thai life enough to say for sure, Hormones felt a lot more down-to-earth about their more sensitive subjects. But I often find UK television shows are more about the shock value than the content itself. Both series portray teen life in a very raw and open manner - the good, the bad and the ugly - aiming to be as authentic as they are shocking. And, as much as I loved the original Skins, I might like Hormones even more. It’s not a straight up reboot like the American remake, which I couldn’t even watch. In the second season, now airing, it even adopts the trope of naming episodes after the character it’s focusing on (instead of after various hormones in the first season). It began with the second season of the popular TV series, Hormones featuring a lesbian couple and from there it just got more gay.Ĭalled the Skins of Thailand, the envelope-pushing Hormones: The Series follows a group of students at the fictional Nadao Bangkok College and bears more than just a little resemblance to its UK predecessor in addressing subjects such as drug use, single parenthood, sex, bullying and sexual identity. I got sucked into the rabbit hole that is Thai teen dramas.
