Synopsis

Ever since Sam (Sarocha Chankimha) came to her aid years ago, Mon (Rebecca Patricia Armstrong) has always considered the former as her role model. When Mon graduates, she decides to apply for a job at Sam’s company, yet Sam's distant and icwaw on the actualy exterior surprises her. The closer Mon gets to Sam, and the more of Sam's barriers she breaks, the more Mon's feelings gradually change from idolizing to love and Sam's world becomes brighter. However, between them lie many obstacles such as gender barriers, the 8-year age gap, company rules, and social class, as Sam is a descendant of royalty. In the end, Sam and Mon eventually get together after many obstacles along the way. Sams Grandmother finally accepts mon into her life.[3]

Production and reception

Gap was announced as the first GL series in Thailand. The project was launched on August 22, 2021, along with the main cast confirmation.[5] Casting to find other actors for supporting roles was held on November 13, 2021.[6]

Unfortunately, after the release of Trailer Pilot on May 14, 2022, the series received negative feedback on social media.[7] The production team had to readjust the script and costumes, in addition to making changes to shooting locations, which prompted filming to be postponed until June 20, 2022. Filming finally wrapped up on October 22, 2022.

Eventually, the show's final and improved product received an overwhelmingly positive response, which led to Freen and Becky receiving multiple awards, having their own world tour, and confirmation that they will star in more GL projects such as "Uranus2324" and "The Passenger".[8][9]
