Looking for something to watch as you stay at home thanks to COVID-19? I'm working on my genre lists and I should mention that mydramalist.com has the ability to search for tags like 'marriage,' but these lists are much more complete. First up, marriage genre. This is an old post, but lots of new lakorns. Enjoy!
There are a lot of lakorns about married couples, and it's a favorite trope of mine. Full House (Thai version) is based off of a kdrama and features a celebrity and aspiring writer who enter a contract marriage for various reasons, but ends up falling in love.
Contract marriages is just one of the many different tropes regarding marriages in lakorns. There's also arranged marriages, fake marriages, marriages of convenience (Jao Sao Jum Yorm) and so on. Read on to find out more.
You can find more info on lakorns by clicking on their link to mydramalist. A question mark (?) means it may or may not fit that category.
Where can you watch these lakorns? Check out our 'Incomplete' lakorn list for ones still being subbed, and 'Completed' lakorn list for completely English subbed lakorns.

ReplyDeleteAny recommendations in Mafia theme? I watched dessert girl.. waiting fro cubic, liked musketeer series especially mafia one (-:
DeleteI added this category to the specific trope page, but most people like the romance in Mafia Tee Ruk. Also coming up this year, a whole new series of 5 lakorns involving the mafia called Mafia Luerd Mongkorn.
ReplyDeleteGreat! thank uuuuuu :)
DeleteI like the way you summed these up. It even gives me a few ideas of what to watch next. I think I have watched 80% of these, but some are worth a repeat. Thank you.
