Thai Watch Challenge FAQ, Questions & Discussion

 Jelena Petrovic:

Guys, can anyone help me identify a song from Rang Tawan? I'm trying to find the one which is mostly being played for the secondary couple, it's very nice and lively. Youtube is only giving me two OST songs, Lom Lalai and Jai Rai, but it's neither of them. Shazam doesn't recognize it either. I'm not even sure if it's an OST for this drama or another one and just used here. If it helps, it can be heard for example in episode 10 starting from mark 35:40 (I'm watching on Lakorn Galaxy).

I went on a search and then tried my luck with Shazam again which found it. ^^

It's  Sugar Eyes - Saita Yao

 Jelena Petrovic:

Awesome, thank you so much! ❤️ My Shazam just doesn't get it for some reason lol, even though I tried several times.

You're welcome. :) I'm just happy I found it and could be of help. The song is indeed really nice. I have it on repeat now. ^.^

Hi, everyone. I can't seem to make any progress on my challenge, I've finished 1 drama so far and it's seems, I can't finished Game Maya. Fingers crossed that March will be better. I'm planning to watch Not Me, next week and wish it will be a breakthrough.

I started Not Me this week. It's fast paced. I like it so far.

Didn't even notice how many dramas I've completed since the last update, working from home certainly has its advantages :)

Sleepless Society: Insomnia - 8.5/10 - Really intense and unpredictable, although with a somewhat unclear resolution. Concept with dreams and reality was awesome. Heavy story, great acting. I'd like to see the actor playing the young policeman Tle get a lead role someday.

A Tale of Thousand Stars - 9.5/10 - Beautiful and touching. So close to 10/10, but then they used the dreaded "separation, time skip and reunion" trope in the last episode. It's not that I hate this trope (I actually do haha), but I can accept it only if it's well incorporated in the plot and in this case it wasn't. Why on Earth (pun not intended) did you do that, writers? Nevermind, still an amazing and well executed story with lovable characters. 

46 Days - 7.0/10 - I might be a bit harsh with the rating here, but this just wasn't my cup of tea. Way too over-the-top and slapsticky, with incredibly annoying characters. Chemistry and romance between the leads was unconvincing. I mostly finished it because I Iove Baifern, but overall it was disappointing (that's just me - fans of slapstick comedy and exaggerated... well, everything - go for it!).

Girl Next Room: Midnight Fantasy - 8.0/10 - Loved it, cliche but very cute and meaningful.

Girl Next Room: Richy Rich - 7.0/10 - Basically the same impression as 46 Days, too slapsticky for my taste. When all the comedy is put aside, there isn't much of a story here. FL is a very good actress though.

Spark Jai Nai Jomying - 8.0/10 - Short but engaging and funny.

Rang Tawan - 7.5/10 - Typical for the genre and totally predictable, but ok. ML character development was the best part of the drama. The last 3 episodes were draggy and could have been compressed into 2. The second leads were a real comic relief, although SML's acting could have been better. Side note: flat screen has a new meaning now lmao.

Currently watching Bangkok Love Stories 2: Plead and Rang Mai Hua Jai Derm.

OMG the synopsis o.O Who comes up with that kind of plot???

 Anusaya:

I will not deny, nor confirm. lol since ep15 apathy - comments was the only entertainment in this.

Moved to the jump-through-an-open-window-to-escape list, thanks for the warning :)

Recommend and reviewed; Tea Box  =)  7/10

Thank you! Tea Box (I really like that title lol) added, the other I'll make a detour around it. xD

Rang Mai Hua Jai Derm - 6.5/10 - This deserves a special mention because I feel like I've lost a few brain cells watching these characters do one nonsensical thing after the other. It could have been a really good story if only there had been a bit of reason in everyone's reasoning. Shame because most of the time the leads were fun to watch together, although FL wasn't as smart as she was supposed to seem and ML's behavior was inconsistent. And don't even get me started about the villains, their actions only make sense in their own heads. On the positive side, pacing was  just right, no redundant scenes and overall not boring.
