Lately, Thai drama world has been remaking a lot of dramas from other Asian countries and from previous popular drama aired in the past from Thailand but I am not disappointed at all.

Favorite Koo Jin Couples

Koo Jin is a Thai term with a meaning of "fantasy couple" or "shipped couple." (Thai Celebrity Fever Facebook) It's an qualitative to OTP (One True Pairing) that fans use for Korean celebrities. Koo Jin is actually use in this generation while Koo Kwan was use back then. According to this Asianfuse Thread, Koo Kwan is a better title and much more classy and difficult to earn while Koo Jin is thrown around for every couple. Koo Kwan is a term used to describe the perfect pairing. These term are given to the main leading roles when a lakorn received good feedback and ratings and it is normal for the entertainment industry to dub the pairings as Koo Jin, since they won the hearts of many. This isn't the only generation where Koo Jin fever has continuously increased.

I grew up watching Thai lakorn therefore I have watch a lot of actors and actresses work together and I have develop my favorite Koo Jin over the years. But here are my Koo Jin couples.

10 Thai Series

One thing I love about Thai lakorns are the series they create that connect each story together through the cast. It is rare to see this concept in Korean drama and definitely not in the Western countries either. The concept of having different and multiple stories connecting one another is lakorns or drama is something that Thai drama writers have been very successful with and trust me they are here to stay because everyone love it. In this post, I wrote down ten series that I have love and I cheated a little. Some of these might be familiar because I wrote them in some of my favorites dramas from the channel they are release in and also recommendations from my favorite actors and actresses list. If you already read through the other post where I wrote down the summary of each of the drama already, I suggest you skip it because its a copy and paste situation with different pictures (hopefully). But, without further ado, let go and get started. 

  1. Paragit Ruk Series
