I love a good light-hearted BL romantic comedy – add a little magic and I’m hooked! The WeTV Original Caged Again (บอกกรงๆ…ว่ารักเธอ) has everything anything I could have asked for.

Sorathon Chaloemlapsombut (Jay) is Junior, a spirited young penguin, who – driven by an unyielding desire to escape his confined life at the zoo – defies the natural order by transforming himself into a human. His ultimate dream is to reach the elusive North Pole, where freedom and purpose beckon. However, his journey takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself trapped once more—this time within the eerie confines of a secluded boarding school where nothing is as it seems.

In this new prison, Junior encounters Sun (Benjamin Greenwell), a reserved and enigmatic young man, who is later revealed to have shared his transformative ability as we was once a black panther. Though Sun initially resists Junior’s desperate appeals for help, their shared sense of entrapment and unlikely bond soon compel them to team up. As they scheme for freedom, their alliance becomes fraught with tension. Sun’s predatory instincts, awakened by Junior’s vulnerability, clash with an unfamiliar and powerful yearning—a hunger that transcends mere survival.

Caught in a battle between nature and choice, the two must navigate a labyrinth of secrets, shifting alliances, and their own inner turmoil. Will Junior’s relentless determination inspire Sun to rise above his instincts, or will the growing intensity of their connection lead to their downfall?

And so the penguin lied down with a panther
