A: I'm crazy about a Thai drama called 2gether: The Series right now. I think you should watch it.

我现在疯狂迷恋一个泰剧叫《假偶天成》。推荐你也看看。

B: I've never watched any Thai dramas before. What is it about? 

我从来没看过泰剧。这是讲什么的？

(wǒcónɡlái méikànɡuò tàijù. zhèshì jiǎnɡshénme de?)

A: Actually it is a boys' love drama.

其实是部耽美剧。

(qíshíshìbù dānměijù.)

B: I actually really like boys' love dramas.

我确实蛮喜欢耽美剧的。

(wǒquèshí mánxǐhuān dānměijù de.)

A: It is adapted from a novel. It has a lot of Chinese fans.

是小说改编的。中国粉丝也很多。

(shìxiǎoshuō ɡǎibiān de. zhōnɡɡuó fěnsī yěhěnduō.) 

B: Intersting. This Thai drama is really popular in China. I recall that China's The Untamed was also really popular in Thailand.

有意思。这个泰剧在中国非常火。之前中国的《陈情令》在泰国也很火。
