The perspective leans more toward Kiyoi this time, which adds a fresh layer of depth, and the story explores what happens when love gets tangled up with identity, insecurity, and miscommunication.

Secret Crush On You (2022, Thailand)
If you loved the intense, awkward devotion in Utsukushii Kare but want it cranked all the way up and dipped in pure chaos, Secret Crush On You is the one. Toh, the painfully nerdy and wildly obsessed art student, has a massive crush on the school’s popular golden boy, Nuea. What starts as cringe comedy (cosplay, love shrines, full-on meltdown levels of fangirling) slowly turns into something surprisingly soft and genuine.
It's campy, messy, and self-aware — but underneath all the chaos, there’s an earnest story about being seen and loved for who you are. ( I think)
🌀 Expect: over-the-top fan behavior, queer friend group shenanigans, and a confident love interest who somehow finds it all endearing.
Watch if you enjoy:
- Devoted main characters
