Burnout Syndrome

Burnout Syndrome follows Jira, a once rising artist who loses his dream job and finds himself adrift in a city that feels both crowded and isolating. With energy sapped and purpose unsettled, he crosses paths with two very different men who pull him toward two distinct futures. Ko, a warm and witty IT professional with easy charm, offers companionship and practical help as he tries to rebuild a life after defeat. Across town sits a reclusive tycoon who wants Jira to become the public face of his vast enterprise, a role that promises prestige but threatens privacy. Caught between intimate connection and the glare of spotlight, Jira must decide what he will protect and what he will reveal, as art, loyalty, and longing collide. The tone blends quiet introspection with sharp dialogue, hinting at a world where creativity collides with money and the public gaze.

Directed by Anucha Boonyawatana and created by JittiRain and Sethinun Jariyavilaskul, the series stars Atthaphan Phunsawat as Jira, with Jumpol Adulkittiporn and Jirawat Sutivanichsak in supporting roles, and is positioned as a stylish drama launching in 2025.

Box office figures do not apply to a television series, and there is no worldwide gross to report. TV releases hinge on streaming metrics and platform success rather than traditional cinema revenue.

As of now there are no major awards or nominations announced for Burnout Syndrome. Some critics point to the performances and direction as promising, noting the chemistry between the leads and the show's stylish restrained aesthetic, which may attract awards attention as the season unfolds.

Reception is positive so far with viewers praising the portrayal of burnout and the tension between closeness and public image. Critics call out the restrained mood, strong performances, and the show's thoughtful treatment of fame, authenticity, and the price of being seen.
