One planned a career in the kitchen. The other kept showing up for auditions. Together, they made Affair.
LMSY pairs Lookmhee Punyapat Wangpongsathaporn and Sonya Saranphat Pedersen. Their three GL lead series move from childhood friends with unfinished business to rival executives and a marriage negotiated over a land lease. Falling in love is rarely the practical option. Fortunately, practicality is not the assignment.
TL;DR / THE SHORT VERSION
LMSY at a glance
Lookmhee and Sonya’s shared GL series: Affair (2024), Harmony Secret (2025) and Hometown Romance (2026), all from CHANGE2561. Start with Affair for their breakthrough romance; choose Hometown Romance for a lighter countryside rom-com.
Lookmhee Punyapat: an unexpected change of plans
Lookmhee studied Culinary Arts and Kitchen Management at Dusit Thani College. Cooking and baking were the plan; being watched through a lens was considerably less appealing. In their Club Friday Show conversation, she recalled feeling camera-shy at castings. CHANGE2561 brought her into acting; Affair gave her Wan, a woman whose feelings survive thirteen years apart.

Sonya Saranphat: the persistence before Affair
Sonya’s route involved repeated auditions and very few guarantees. She recalled attending around thirty castings in a week, sometimes landing two or three jobs, sometimes none. With money running short, another career was becoming a serious possibility. She also arrived with experience playing antagonists. As Phleng in Affair, she moved into a lead romance shaped by loss and difficult, long-held feelings.

How Lookmhee and Sonya became LMSY
Lookmhee already knew whom she wanted opposite her. Comfortable with Sonya, she suggested they spend time together and post photographs so people would notice the pairing. A joint audition followed. Chemistry may be difficult to manufacture; making sure casting knows about it is apparently worth a little planning.
Their Club Friday Show interview follows both actresses’ early careers and the beginnings of the partnership.

The LMSY watchlist: their series together
Affair: where the LMSY story begins

2024 · 8 episodes · Lookmhee as Wan; Sonya as Phleng
Wan and Phleng grow up under the same roof, separated by class: one is the housekeeper’s daughter, the other the daughter of the family employing her. Their attachment deepens before either can comfortably name it. A family tragedy pulls them apart; thirteen years later, the feelings have survived, but their circumstances have become considerably more complicated.
This is the starting point for LMSY’s screen partnership: childhood intimacy, separation and an adult reunion with consequences. Lookmhee plays Wan; Sonya plays Phleng. If your preferred romantic ingredient is years of unresolved yearning, dinner is served.

Harmony Secret: rivals with a conflict of interest

2025 · 8 episodes · Lookmhee as Aiwarin; Sonya as Mewika
Lookmhee’s Aiwarin and Sonya’s Mewika lead competing business empires, each chasing a valuable duty-free concession. Mewika wants to beat an old rival; Aiwarin sees an opportunity to get closer to the woman she has long liked. Attraction makes an already competitive negotiation much harder to keep professional.
Their second lead series trades Affair’s shared childhood for corporate rivalry, family pressure and the awkward business of wanting somebody you are supposed to outmanoeuvre. Excellent suits. Questionable boundaries.

Sonya plays Si, a wealthy heiress hoping to prove she can run the family business. Lookmhee is Klao, the landowner whose signature Si needs on a lease renewal. Klao’s condition is marriage. The paperwork has become personal.
Their third series leans into romantic comedy and a clash of lifestyles, taking LMSY out of the boardroom and into the countryside. It aired from 3 April to 22 May 2026 across eight episodes, so this one is ready for a binge.

Beyond the dramas: the LMSY soundtrack
Their collaboration also reaches the recording studio. CHANGE2561’s Harmony Secret music hub lists joint tracks including SECRET DEAL and ONLY WE KNOW. The songs offer another route into the pairing once you have finished negotiating with your watchlist.
What’s next for LMSY?
A fourth project is on the horizon. In a 7 November post, Lookmhee referred to heading back to prepare for “story four.” A title, premise and premiere date have not yet been verified for this guide. For now, the released watchlist remains Affair, Harmony Secret and Hometown Romance.
Next on their European calendar is the Madrid fan meeting on 28 November 2026 at Cines Callao. The organiser’s page has the venue and event details.
Where to start — and keep up
