Lakorns available on youtube with Eng subs
The aim of this list is initially simply to keep track of English-subbed lakorns and related which come up in algorithms on youtube while I'm watching other things. Most seem to be from one31. Hopefully it will reduce some of the back and forth between MDL and youtube when I'm in the mood to start a new one. (This has turned into a one31 Eng subs list. Most are probably lakorns, some probably aren't.) The ones I've seen so far all include gay romance because those are the ones my social media contacts talk about and my het viewing has been elsewhere.
I'll note those I've watched with some comments. The rest are unvetted, take your chances if it sounds interesting.
If you'd like to suggest more or have seen any of these, even in part, please feel free to leave your comments, whether it's a recommendation or a warning re any of *those* tropes or something else. I'm happy to make this a shared resource to help all of us find good and readily accessible lakorns.

![Khun Chaai]()

![I Feel You Linger in the Air: Uncut Version]()
2. I Feel You Linger in the Air: Uncut Version
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Romance between men, family politics. Let's call it lakorn-light. Set in 1927 or so. Uncut version via Youku, cut televised version from one 31. Both are online I think.

![Century of Love]()
3. Century of Love
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Starts as a light lakorn BL that tries to be a bit of everything, which makes for a bit of a mess but becomes progressively more substantial. Chinese magic, family, some humour, some violence, some historical, most not.
On one31 but only the first two episodes are currently subbed.

![Laws of Attraction]()
4. Laws of Attraction
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Gay romance lakorn, and it's definitely lakorn because otherwise it's a genre-defying exaggerated mess which will give you whiplash from the tone shifts. One ML is working class and very earnest. The other ML isn't. There's a lot of beating other people up. There's a lot of spelled out very clearly in the dialogue moralising. Probably best to binge so the energy carries it. Just don't think about it too much. one31

![My Lovely Bodyguard]()
5. My Lovely Bodyguard
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Pacing in this isn't great. The beginning is crammed full of tropes, which are fun, but the middle drags and the later episodes are very violent and high stress. That will appeal to others.
Nod towards "strong" women characters, often working together, a cute kid and a feisty gran are the highlights.
