Thai Watch Challenge FAQ, Questions & Discussion

 ManUtiavN:

Yes, that's exactly it.
For the X years to come, all we have to do is relate the links of the previous challenges on the front page of the current year. A bit like the MDL Challenge did, but to be improved or customised in our own way.  

Since the 2022 challenge will change a bit (additional challenges, lightly changed) it would have overwritten the existing one. I'll talk to admins and ask for permission to create an account and to be sure also for the threads as this will put additional data on the server if we create new threads each year (though only slightly). 

Thank you both  moonchild  and  ustOneMoreEpisode and new friends for the Thai Challenge 2021.  <3

Done! Completed all Challenges 1-12; today.  Game of Outlaws (2021) was the last. Thank the gods. I couldn't have made it through Irresistible, or Unhappy Birthday without it to look forward too.  Enjoyed Game of Outlaws (the other 2 not so much) . Recommend it over the original. Action is fun, just enough romance. I had fun!

ManUtiavN great idea! All in on the club when it happens. Will be watching this thread for more info.
Cheers! A

 moonchild:

Congrats to finishing the entire challenge! That's been a lot. xD 

I'm still waiting for a reply from admins. I'll post here once there are new infos. :)

I'd have watched anyway. lol Awesome and thank you.

Happy New Year everybody !!  Wish you to make your dreams a reality and  turn your efforts into great achievements.

My New Year present to myself, and now you. A recommendation for the Thai challengers. There is no nuance, just visual drama. Might be a good chance for those afraid of raw releases. I suggest raw often (especially after watching in your native sub) it'll make it easier to learn. It is a train wreck of beauty.

Raw - enjoy.

It's always a bit special to rediscover actors who are now playing supporting roles as leads some fifteen years ago. Thanks Anusaya  for sharing.

 ManUtiavN:

Here is my proposal for an additional section for our Thai challenge for 2022.

We can name it Thai Club favourites.

The purpose  is to watch/discover at least one drama in the list of the club members' favourites. For this, to make the list  it will be necessary that each member communicates :

✔️ The best drama released in 2021 that you have seen.
✔️ An actor you discovered and who impressed you in 2021. (not necessarily in main lead) and we will watch one of his dramas.
✔️ An actress you discovered and were impressed by in 2021. (not necessarily in main lead) and we will watch one of her dramas.

Drama of 2021 for me: I promised you the Moon
Actor: James Teeradon Supapunpinyo
Actress: Baifern Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul

I don't know if I should post here but if  it's bother you I'll send directly to the forum creators for the next ideas that are running through my head.

No bother at all. This thread is the spot for discussions, questions etc regarding the Challenge. :) 

I like your idea. I haven't heard back from the admins yet though. 

I promise I'll stop spamming ( ⋂‿⋂') until moonchild   and JustOneMoreEpisode  have an aswer from the admins of MDL. Making pretty presentations is not my specialty, but since I have time and let's face it, I was a bit bored, I went through with my idea about the different sections we could integrate into the Challenge.

I figure out since we're taking on this challenge, we're going all out even though I know that most of us watch dramas from other countries, myself included. By proposing several themes, we encourage the members to leave their comfort zone. 

Of course, feel free to suggest changes or add proposals,  not everything has to be included.  

• Create an account called Thai Club (name to be validated) on MDL. The site would be accessible to Club administrators.
• Create a new thread for the 2022 challenge from the Thai Club account (name to be confirmed) on the forum.
• Create a new thread for Thai Watch Challenge FAQ and Questions from the Thai Club (name to be validated) on the forum.

From the common account of the Club it will be possible to make custom lists, like for example:

• Make a list of Thai remakes of Thai lakorns or dramas
• Make a list of remakes from other countries (not necessarily Asian)
• List award winning writers, directors internationally or in Thailand (votes should not be paid or come from fans). We can take The Nataraja awards for example.
• Gather banners and various badges of the Club
• List of members' favourite dramas/actors/actresses for the current year (challenge)

The creation of a common account is interesting to avoid that the Club and the Thai Challenge start again from scratch in case of deactivation of an account of the challenge creator.

 moonchild:

Yeah not sure if I'll ever get one. It's been over a week now and still nothing. I'll make an account for the Thai club tomorrow, there are so many already, even the MDL Watch Challenge has their own account now so they can hardly forbid it anyway. I also contacted JustOneMoreEpisode once again, hoping to get a reply from her as well. Hope we'll have the challenge up soon. 

Okay, let's keep in touch.
