Like your men a bit sociopathic? Thailand keeps those 1970s romance novel heroes alive

[dangermousie]

OK, guys, I hate myself a little - but viikii has Defendant of Love subbed and I found myself starting the first episode. I posted about it before but DoL is a Thai drama - an umpteenth hit adaptation of some really popular novel about how Hero decides to avenge the fact that his brother offed himself over the girl by kidnapping and torturing said

I'd suggest Rak Nee Hua Jai Rao Jong (This Heart of mine). It's rape free when it comes to the OTP. All in all it's quite funny with a good dose of romance. Oh and Kaew Tee Peh is pretty good (and rape free) as well. The guy from Roy Leh Sanae Rai is in it. I haven't watched Gor Rah Kah Gor Raeng (a.k.a Sassy Love), but I think I read in the Sanworld thread that there was a rape scene. I watched half of Badarn Jai and it's was rape free as well and pretty good, once you get past that mullet!

These sound good, will look for subs. Sassy Love has rape in it? *sigh*

I think Badarn Jai is sort of a winner on very shallow grounds of the guy being hot.

If you want to air on the side of caution, I suggest iheartlakorns & Sanworld. The summaries are pretty detailed [full of spoilers!] so you get an idea of what suits you and what doesn't. Plus, iheartlakorns has a directory for all of the subbed lakorns.

Ooooh, this is wonderful, thank you!

I am enjoying Defendant of Love. Heeeeelp, heeeeeeeeeelp! I want to murder the hero though.

You're welcome. Wanting to murder someone and Thai dramas seem to be a package deal!
