Zen Napat: a familiar face for Apple My Love viewers
Napat Zen Youngblood, known as Zen, already has a GL credit on her résumé: she played Tiwa in Apple My Love (2024), the OrmFolk-led romance. Her screen credits also include Doctor’s Mine (2025), as Pat, and a pianist role in the film SLR (2022).

Pat Apirum: from HOTSHAKES to Love Bound
Pat Apirum Chareonthaitawee comes with a music chapter, too. She was part of the five-member T-pop group HOTSHAKES, whose debut single was Tester (ผู้มาก่อนกาล). In a 2024 group interview with Daily News, Pat described singing as her strength and spoke about earlier modelling, advertising and childhood entertainment work.
Pat has also shared the work behind the finished performance. In her own behind-the-scenes account of Tester, she described re-recording vocals and practising choreography for more than a month. Her move into GL follows years of learning how to perform, both in front of a camera and on stage.

Love Bound: meet Mira and Vodka
Love Bound brings together three pairings: OrmFolk, ZenPat and NamwaRada. Zen and Pat’s romance sits within that ensemble.
Mira is a wealthy young woman who longs for warmth and loves Vodka. Vodka is Whiskey’s younger sister, a doctor who dislikes uncertainty in relationships but has a particular softness for Mira.
Mira wants warmth; Vodka wants certainty. There is an appealing tension in that combination: tenderness alone may not settle what either needs from the relationship. It gives Zen and Pat something more interesting to explore than simply looking good together.
Love Bound premieres Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 10:30 p.m. Bangkok time (ICT). The announced Thai broadcast is Channel 9 MCOT HD, with YouTube viewing through Kongthup’s Channel.

What is next for ZenPat?
Their promotion has already extended beyond Thailand: ZenPat were announced for Manila’s Fandom Fest on September 4 and Manila Fashion Week on September 5. Those announcements put them in front of audiences beyond Thailand ahead of their new series.

Love Bound is the next test for the pairing. Their promotional work has made us curious; now we want to see how Mira and Vodka’s relationship develops across the series.
