Six months ago, broke indie filmmaker Namo went viral on a podcast for saying that watching head writer Risa Rattanakorn’s prime-time soap operas had the same neurological effect as staring into a microwave for forty-five minutes while being hit with a Gucci catalog.
Six months later, Namo has thirty-eight baht in her bank account, her French film festival trophy is propping up her wobbly kitchen table, and she has just signed a contract to co-write Grand TV’s flagship mafia GL series, The Heiress at Gunpoint, with Risa herself.
When a disastrous old draft leaks online, the two women are thrown into damage control: chaotic sponsor livestreams, high-stakes script meetings, and exhausting revisions at Risa's condo. But when working late turns into secret nights together, they tell themselves it's just stress relief with no strings attached. Pretending to be purely professional by day becomes impossible when neither can stop thinking about the night before.
Prime Time Love is an adult sapphic romantic comedy about ambition, pride, television chaos, and falling off-script for the last woman you ever expected.
Includes all 26 main chapters plus 3 full-length Special Chapters.
