You may have thought all the episodes of Thai drama Love Sea have already been released, but you’re wrong. Here’s everything you need to know about the surprise special episode and where you can watch it.

Many binge-watchable TV shows this year come from unexpected sources – and the Thai series BL (an abbreviation for Boy’s Love) is enjoying increasing popularity.

Very different from the K-dramas we all know and love (although there are similarities between the two), Love Sea takes a different approach to romance. Writer Tongrak meets the irritable Mahasamut while traveling in search of inspiration for his next novel and quickly falls in love with him.

The romantic comedy is heating up fast and is now back for one last hurrah. But what is the Love Sea special episode and where can you find it?

Where can I watch the special episode of Love Sea?

Officially, The special episode “Love Sea” can be viewed on Vimeo. following the fan party on August 25th, but participation is possible for a fee.

“And seeing how Tongrak has changed, ‘I love you’ comes naturally to him now, and giving and receiving affection is second nature to him. Not to mention we got Pouty Rak, a few locks of hair, a few forehead kisses AND a little peck on the nose. I’m full.”
