Production

VelCurve Studio announced Love Design as a GL romantic-comedy project in early 2025, positioning it as a high-production series that blends workplace drama in architecture and design with a romantic storyline between two female leads. The creative team and producers teased the project with early posters and a pilot that framed the series as both a competitive design drama and an emotionally-driven romance.
Filming began on April 27, 2025 and continued for approximately four months. Production included both domestic shoots in Thailand and a large international unit shoot in Kitakyushu, Japan. Thai outlets reported that the Kitakyushu film unit, with over 40 people, was warmly welcomed by the local officials, including the city's mayor, during the location shoot. Japanese actor Takei So also participated in the overseas shoot. The Japanese location work were prominently featured in promotional clips and behind-the-scenes footage, highlighting contrasting architectural styles and scenic backdrops. Production was announced to have concluded in August 2025.

Several YouTube videos featured English subtitles, enhancing accessibility for international audiences. The series’ Instagram and X accounts regularly shared set photos, premiere announcements, and updates, while Thai entertainment outlets republished trailers and covered the Japan shoot, further boosting visibility before release.
