i saw someone say Laws of Attraction is technically a lakorn and im like huh.. i could either google whats the difference between lakorn & y-series (bls) as we know it OR i could just ask you so here i am ✨✨ ((im asking cause the only lakorn i know is To Sir With love and i just thought its cause of the many episodes + not really centred ~ so like would Manner of Death be considered bl or lakorn??? idk anything anymore))

Sure it has some lakorn aspects, but if you want to experience TRUE lakorn def watch their first drama together: To Sir, With Love. It has SPARKLE DEATH GLITTER

yes you read that right

SPARKLE DEATH GLITTER

If you're familiar with telenovelas from say the 80-90s, lakorns have more in common with those than anything else I can think of. Like truly camp over the top soap operas.

They are GREAT.

If you like that kinda thing.

I would say Laws is a little less lakorn and more gay romantic suspense, because lakorns tend to be more more ensemble pieces with lots of focus on parents, villains, siblings, staff, and other sides. Again, think really soapy soap operas.

I highly recommend watching To Sir With Love. It will give you a real lakorn experience but still very gay. And, as of right now, it's the only one of its kind.

Genre is often a matter of "I know it when I see it" and challenging to define. I will sometimes try using a negative.

For example I have an author friend who defines sci-fi as: if you remove the sci-fi elements the whole story would fall apart. In other words, to be called sci fi, the book's central premise and narrative backbone must rely upon its science fiction elements.

You can apply the same to romance: if you remove the love story, the whole narrative falls apart.

Lakorn, I'm not entirely sure what that backbone is (I haven't watch enough of them, because so far they not queer enough except for Laws). But I wouldn't necessarily define Laws of Attraction as lakorn first. Although it has lakorn aspects. I wouldn't necessarily define Laws of Attraction as BL first either. Although it also has BL aspects. Which is why, like Manner of Death, I settled on "gay romantic suspense."

One might make a case for Only Friends or even Playboyy as lakorn, but neither was soapy or campy enough. IMHO they have more in common with something like The L Word or Queer as Folk.

“this is what I do when I have feelings for someone.”

[athousandbyeol]

i never imagined myself doing anything like this. let's just cut to the point. when you're reading this, how do you feel? are you upset, sad, or feeling nothing? i'm just asking. i won't get to hear the answer anyway. from now on, you must be happy. work hard, and don't get moody so often. eat som tum with phi jack and the rest sometimes. don't look for me. because you'll find me so easily. the only place i'll be is phi tub's gaming cafe. if i go any place further, that would be my hometown, udon thani. as of now, we're not compatible like everyone else says after all. that's what i have to accept.

The Empress of Ayodhaya

No English subs and likely no hope of them in any sort of timeframe but this looks like a great time. It's based on the life of Sri Sudachan, a royal concubine of King Chairacha (1534-1547), who maaaaybe poisoned him and installed her son on the throne, eventually manuvering so that she and her non-royal lover Worawongsathirat acted as regents. Then her son died (accident? execution? poisoning by his mother's lover? poisoning by his own mother? the histories disagree) and Sri Sudachan installed Worawongsathirat on the throne, a flying-too-close-to-the-sun move that got them both killed. Mai Davika plays Sri Sudachan and Film Thanapat plays Worawongsarthirat. Everyone is dressed to the nines, swords are dripping blood, something lesbian appears to be going on in Sri Sudachan's bedroom: If OneD ever subs this I am SO HERE for it.
