-
6. A Tale of a Thousand Stars
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
Not super violent, but there is a bit of small town mob activity as a threat. Romance is slower burn and not explicit but still very horny. age gap 21ish/30ish
-
7. Never Let Me Go
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
currently airing, rich people that are not QUITE mafia, but still doing crimes and murders. Not sure how high the stakes will go, but promising. protagonists ARE in high school, though.
-
8. Love in the Air
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
the mafia is in the backdrop and sometimes it bleeds in to the characters' lives, but overall it's not ABOUT that. But it is there. And it's very spicy.
-
9. Ghost Host, Ghost House
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
no murders, but deals with past death and trauma and grief. age gap 21ish/28ish
-
10. He's Coming To Me
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
Past murder, mystery solving, a character is a ghost so death is present, but uni setting nonetheless. fade to black sex scene.
-
11. The Eclipse
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
deals with suicide and death and mental health and systems of oppression. set in high school, though.
-
12. Unforgotten Night
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
mafia boss gets bewitched by a normal guy's hole. this show is not very good, but its still kind of fun. including it just in case you watch all the others and want more.
-
13. Triage
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
tbh i did not like this show, because I don't think the leads had any chemistry whatsoever. but it's a time loop life or death situation, which is a compelling premise. some people do like this one so i will include it but it was disappointing for me.
