I installed the Vipa (Thai PBS) app months ago but haven't watched anything until this evening. Not a BL, The Rhythm of Life / จังหวะชีวิตลิขิตฝัน episode 1 shows us an ambitious captain of a school marching band bullying his juniors, presenting heavy narcissistic traits. His teacher and even his father are irritated by this out of date behaviour to uphold old ideas of discipline. Very very intense first episode (50 minutes).
Four episodes into #TheGifted and i think my expectations were a bit too high, given how much praise this one gets. It's good, and there's still plenty to go so maybe it will get better, but so far it doesn't have the tightness, energy and complexity of 55:15 Never Too Late, The Shipper or Enigma.
55:15 also starts out with a focus episode for each main character, so perhaps that's set my bar unfairly high.
When a drama is really satisfying, i almost always slow down my watching. Not Me, Moonlight Chicken, The Broken Us are standouts with this. Add #KhunChai to the list, all the more striking for the amount of tension, suspense and did not seeing THAT coming twists it throws in.
Piyathida Mittiraroch is stellar as the matriarch Li. https://mydramalist.com/people/9533-woramusik-piyathida #ThaiDrama
this is just fabulous. earnest lakorn angst, scheming villains, others pushed into desperate acts and scheming, gender balanced cast with central roles for women that drive the plot, family drama oh the drama, found family within the Family, side plot of a plucky young woman trying to single-handedly save her household AND refuse to marry without love, sweet kids, the best brothers, and one more thing but i'll leave that a secret 😉
Ha ha, the vibrantly colored #ThaiDrama#ReadySetLove is just 6 episodes, but I am loving it so far.
The premise is similar to the "Y: The Last Man" comics, and women compete in a Hunger Games/Squid Game/Love Is Blind tv contest to get to marry one of the few eligible men. The 5 guys in the competition are caricatures of boy band members, with their own thematic colors and personalities.
No DEATH games (yet?), but there is corruption bubbling under the surface...
I'm still watching the 2022 #Khunchai series and how the younger generation Tian, Yang and Pin are trying to find their own way is really nice to watch. The wonderful relationship between the brothers, Yang's loyalty towards his elder brother Tian which we witnessed already in episode 2 found a highlight in the coming out scene of episode 10.
I started off with watching #ThaiBL and am now exploring some #ThaiDrama
Today I remembered that there are also some Thai series and movies on Netflix (not much but still quite a few available for Europe). What are those really? And who are the people (in Europe) watching these?

I'm gonna try to make this a thread. Yay for the ability to edit posts, I suppose? I'll also link in the post(s?) that isn't (aren't?) in order.
I'd say it shouldn't have taken that long, but I'm trying to get out of the habit of kicking myself for how my brain works. :blobcatfingerguns:
I would have liked to have had more focus, especially since I very much enjoyed the episode. But hey, it meant I had an excuse to rewatch a number of choice scenes. :blobcatdance: Silver linings!
i know you all aren't inclined to give this 8 hours but i have to put it out here that this is so good. i could have done with a bit less of the lakorn-style mystery but it is so full of kindness and warmth and heart.
Want to join our #EnigmaWatchParty in this week before Halloween? Or after, I'm flexible :) It's a great, short (4 eps) really creepy supernatural series set in and around a girls high school. VERY bingeable.
Free to watch on #GMMTV 's official youtube channel (completely legal). Thai series are uploaded in 4 segments per episode, which is confusing at first. You'll soon get the hang of it. This playlist will help.
#Drama#CDrama #KDrama fans - @glitchontwitch and I are having an #EnigmaWatchParty before/around Halloween.
It's a short 4 episode supernatural non-romantic #ThaiDrama that's creepy but not too scary and really good. Very bingeable.
Anyone want to join us?
Easy to watch via GMMTV's official youtube channel
