My Romance Scammer (Thai: รักจริง หลังแต่ง lit. 'True Love After Marriage'; RTGS: Rak Ching Lang Taeng) is a 2026 Thai boys' love television series starring Panachai Sriariyarugruang (Junior), Jiruntanin Trairattanayon (Mark), Thitiwat Ritprasert (Ohm) and Poon Mitpakdee. The series premiered on GMM 25 on February 1st, 2026, and concluded on April 19, 2026, after 12 episodes. It is available to stream on WeTV and the GMMTV official YouTube channel.[1]
Directed by Siwaj Sawatmaneekul and produced by GMMTV and Studio Wabi Sabi, it was announced during GMMTV'S RIDING THE WAVE event on November 26, 2024.[2]
Pai (Jiruntanin Trairattanayon) and North (Poon Mitpakdee), two cousins and heirs to the billionaire empire known as the Thai-Chinese Jiramongkolthanun family couldn't be more different. Pai is careful and pragmatic with a heart guarded by a brick wall and family expectations weighing him down. North is an optimistic romanticist who believes in true love and has no taste for joining any of the family businesses. But as different as they are, they both have the same problem: their love-lives have been infiltrated by romance scammers!
For the past year, Pai has let his walls down enough to be proposed to by his boyfriend, Tim (Panachai Sriariyarungruang). Meanwhile, North secretly marries the handsome stranger Yu (Thitiwat Ritprasert) after a chance encounter. Tim and Yu begrudgingly work together to save their own scams after realising they both have ulterior motives. Everything falls apart when Yu is caught out, leaving North unable to pursue divorce after signing over some of his assests to his false lover. Tim continues planning his wedding with Pai whilst trying to ignore the guilt of scamming the man he's starting to fall for. Yu is determined to prove his feelings have become genuine and win North's heart once again.
Will Pai ever learn the truth about Tim? Will Yu and North manage to complete their divorce? Can a love built on lies ever become real?
