10 New Thai Dramas to Watch in 2024

"Intern in My Heart," directed by Not Pongsatorn Thongcharoen, is a drama with a unique story. It revolves around a young man named Ray (Blue Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen) who possesses an extraordinary ability. He can see what happened to someone in the last 24 hours simply by touching them.

Initially, Ray finds this power more of a nuisance than a gift. However, as time goes on, he realizes it's actually quite useful in helping him steer clear of the wrong people.

At his workplace, Ray encounters a tough and intimidating boss, Rin (Cris Horwang). Due to work-related interactions, Ray often ends up touching Rin, which reveals her true nature to him. Contrary to her fierce exterior, Rin is actually loving and kind-hearted. This revelation leads Ray to fall in love with Rin, and he starts making efforts to win her heart.

Comedy mixed with drama is a combination that many Thai filmmakers enjoy exploring. The challenge is making it engaging for audiences. Filmmaker Thananwat Taengthong takes a shot at this with his drama "Blondie in an Ancient Time," which promises a humorous story.

Spanning 22 episodes, the drama introduces us to Phrae (Minnie Phantira Pipityakorn), a successful entrepreneur in online commerce. One day, she discovers a mysterious mobile phone. After using it, she is unexpectedly transported back in time to the 19th century.

In this bygone era, Phrae is enslaved by a harsh royal family. She desperately searches for a way to return to her own time. However, everything changes when she meets a young man who not only captures her heart but also saves her on numerous occasions. Faced with a difficult choice, Phrae must decide whether to stay in the past for love or return to the present to continue her life as it was.

Have you heard about Thailand making a medical drama series? It's pretty uncommon, right? Well, in early 2024, we got a new show to watch! "Once a Doctor, Always a Doctor" isn't just about romance, it also dives into the tricky issues faced in the medical field.

The story centers around Talodkarn Wiriyakorn (Toni Rakkaen), a top-notch heart surgeon. But one day, during surgery, something goes terribly wrong and his patient dies. This tragic mistake gets him labeled as a killer and everyone in the hospital starts talking about it.

This huge blow makes Talodkarn lose his confidence. He even thinks about quitting. But in these tough times, his mom steps in, determined to help him stand back up and not give up.

Despite doubts from his colleagues and friends, Dr. Talodkarn decides to go back to work and keep moving forward in his career. He believes he can overcome this and shine once again.

If you're into BL (Boys' Love) stories and enjoy a mix of genres, you're in for a treat. Take "Dead Friend Forever," for example. Just from the title, you can tell it's going to have some spooky vibes.

The story follows a group of friends whose fun trip turns into a nightmare. They're eight buddies heading to a mountain villa. The trip isn't just for fun; they're also saying goodbye to a friend who's going abroad for studies.

But once they get to the villa, things start to feel off. They sense that someone, or something, is watching them. After some searching, they discover a ninth person hiding there. Suddenly, their goodbye party becomes a fight for survival. Creepy events keep happening around them. Will they all make it out of the villa alive?

Heads up! This drama is strictly for those 18 and over. Seriously, if you're younger, this isn't for you. Bacaterus was pretty surprised by "Playboyy" - and yes, that extra 'y' in the title is on purpose. It's definitely for an adult audience, with lots of wild scenes.

The main character is Zouey (Korn Palat Chayutnitiroj), an art student. Interestingly, all his friends are not virgins, which often puts Zouey in the spotlight among them. On his birthday, they plan a big change for him to lose his virginity.

But that's not all. The drama also dives into the lives of Zouey's friends from art class. They're pretty bold when it comes to sex, and we get to see their stories too.

Meanwhile, Zouey's having fun, but deep down, he's searching for true love. Can he find real love while surrounded by all these wild parties and adventures?

Thai BL fans, listen up! We have a great recommendation for you: "Cherry Magic!" This series is adapted from the manga "Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!" by Toyota Yuu.

The story centers on Achirawit Jittawisut, also known as Achi (New Thitipoom Techa-apaikhun). He's just a regular guy working at a stationery company and living the single life.

But on his 30th birthday, Achi discovers he has a unique power. He can read people's minds when he touches them. This makes him extra careful about not touching anyone. Things get even trickier when he accidentally reads the thoughts of his handsome colleague, Karan Wongkarun (Tay Tawan Vihokratana).

To Achi's surprise, he finds out that Karan has feelings for him. Achi tries to keep him distance to protect Karan's feelings, but it's tough when he starts to feel the same way. How will he handle this situation?

Mixing BL with a mystery theme? That's exactly what director Tu Punnasak Sukee did. He turned Patrick Rangsimant's story "7 Days Before Valentine" into a film with the same name. The plot centers around a young man who wants to fix his failing love life.

Meet Sunshine, played by Atom Nathaphop Kanjanteak. He's a good-looking model whose career is soaring. But his love life is a different story. It's falling apart, and Sunshine feels lost without love.

In his toughest times, something extraordinary happens. A person with a magical power shows up, offering to fix Sunshine's past relationship in just seven days. Without hesitation, Sunshine grabs the chance to win back his love.

But, there's a catch. To make this wish come true, he must sacrifice one life for seven days. What will Sunshine decide? Will he accept these terms for the sake of love?
