How did your at hair journey start? - Like others in the thread, I started my journey when SOTUS first debuted, I’ve since watched a few Lakorns and other GMMTV produced dramas.
Do you have any tips for newcomers? - Don’t go into a Thai BL or Lakorn expecting it to be like a Kdrama. They’re both great in their own ways but you really can’t compare the two, not even Kdrama remakes. There’s something special about Thai lakorns and BL’s that you have to be open to. They can be dramatic, cheesy, cliche, and a little crazy but if you get past some of the over the top bits, you’ll find some really great stories and actors.
Do you predominately watch Thailand’s BL’s or Lakorns? - I like both but I find myself drawn to anything produced by GMMTV because I like a lot of the actors they use. BL’s tend to be funny, cute, and sweet and Lakorns are dramatic, romantic, and crazy; so depending on my mood, I’ll watch one or the other. I don’t really expect much from either but as long as the story is interesting and the actors at least try, then I’m all for anything.
Loved this article, greatly written and put together! And I encourage everyone to watch Thai dramas (especially SOTUS)!
This is such a great article!! I've been watching Thai dramas mainly from GMMTV for a while now but I've been wanting to branch out and watch more lakorns. I usually read reviews on here but a lot of people leave negative reviews on lakorns which is why I'm always hesitant to watch. But I'll definitely start watching the ones recommended, thank you guys :))
It's sort of like a nostalgic youth drama where a group of 30-year-olds who were friends in high school, come together to complete a wish list they had put together on their graduation day. It's cute, and short, and has flashbacks to their high school days. It also centers around the Lineage Mobile game, sense it's sort of marketing for it, but it's still pretty good. I recommend it.
