How is this for you?

[elisheva_m]

With the subject being such a minor interest for most of the members, trying to figure out how to best run the comm has been difficult. This summer someone more experienced with dreamwidth assessed that just the chat thread was best for the size of the group, so I went with that. But then there was a lot of activity on the spooky recs for Halloween post and some quick responses to a later post.

Which leaves me wondering if there is a desire for more, I don't know, something here. Or maybe the majority like things as they are.

If that's the case, would you kindly spare just a moment to say that you're happy with the comm as it's been for the last few months please? It would help me worry less about trying to think of something. And if there is something you'd like to see or join in with, please let me know that too.

Thanks

All good for me! <3

I've been distracted by stuff lately and thus not commenting as often, but I'm happy with the comm as is.

I like how things are! Wish I could comment more, but the truth is, I just haven't seen that many thai shows yet and have little to contribute. Trying to rectify that but I'm slow, lol.

[elisheva_m]

If you like how things are, that's good to know. Thank you for sharing this with me.
As best as I can glean, the majority of comm members are similar to you and haven't seen much (or none at all) from Thailand. A few have made it clear they don't have time or interest in watching more.
Which makes it tricky to figure out how best to manage the comm so there is something to engage with but no one feels pressured or uncomfortable or anything like that.

I'm in the same boat as autodach. I haven't seen enough Thai shows as I'm mostly interested in Xianxia/wuxia rather than modern romances... and never know which ones to try out next!

btw: I did watch Ghost Host, Ghost House as recommended by you as it was available on Rakuten Viki - it was a sweet series :)

[elisheva_m]

I'm glad you liked it :)
By never know which ones to try out next, do you mean Thai series? I can try to help find things you'll like, though I don't watch much with martial arts. Maybe you'd enjoy something like The Sign?

Everything I suggest should be available via youtube, bili, dailymotion or Thai PBS and I'm happy to give direct links when needed.

[tarlanx]

The Sign does sound more like the series I tend to watch as I also have a love for Korean supernatural and horror series like Hellbound, Sweet Home, Gyeongseong Creature, Happiness and Tale of the Nine Tailed.

Yes please to links if you have them readily available but otherwise I can always search them for myself :)

as an aside... I need to make some 1000 stars icons!

The Sign is on youtube, Idol Factory's official channel. Thai BL is usually easy to find and a lot is legally on youtube with English subs.

Bad Genius (movie, there's also a series I haven't seen) is about a real life academic cheating scandal which the director manages to turn into an edge of your seat thriller. It's modern but not romance, you might like it.

Home School (GMMTV, youtube) IMO opinion the best of the oppressive school ensemble dramas with a complicated mystery of what's going on. Like they've taken everything they've learned from The Gifted etc and used it to make this. You'll be able to handle the intensity of the last episodes better than I did. Very well made.

Enigma (GMMTV, youtube) Supernatural high school series, tight compact well-crafted 4 episodes.

Triage is time loop. It has great reviews on MDL. That's not an opinion I share but you might like it. Or the others from Sammon's novels.

Thanks!

If you have not watched it, I do recommend Vice Versa. It's about alternate universes and is available on Viki

[elisheva_m]

I know I'm weird but I didn't get on with Vice Versa aside from the borrowed poignancy of Ohm and Nanon characters antagonistic to each other. I'm also weird enough to not have Viki. Really don't fit in with the comm but that's how it goes. Glad you enjoyed it though.

[tarlanx]

Just finished watching The Sign, including the special, and really enjoyed it. I loved all the mythology elements as well as the action sequences.

[elisheva_m]

Glad I got one right finally :)

[halfcactus]

I'm happy with this comm, but I'm also mostly just a passerby with a general interest in Thai pop culture + media.

[elisheva_m]

thanks, i was wondering how those like you felt
