raikantopeniA conversation with corvidology about subscriptions shaping viewing habits suggested a good starting point for another get to know each other thread.
Plus I'm a wee bit excited about making my first subscription to a Thai channel tomorrow. Decided to sub earlier this month but knew I wouldn't use it during the Japan Film Festival Online so I decided on the 24th when a short lesbian-centered lakorn with two of my favourite actresses, Orm Kornnaphat and Prigkhing Sureeyares, begins airing. I doubt anyone will notice a new random foreign subscription but I can pretend it's a show of support :) Nervous too because I don't know when or if it will be subtitled in English or how I'll fare without subs. Anyway, it's The Secret of Us. Also on Netflix but I'd rather give £22 to Thailand than whatever to the behemoth. Oh if it's airing on Netflix it will surely have Eng subs 😍
So what platforms do you use and how does it shape your viewing habits?
I happened onto a recommendation for Moonlight Chicken, it sounded good and was something from a country and genre I hadn't seen so I gave it a go. And it was Moonlight Chicken so I was hooked on GMMTV's youtube channel before I'd even navigated to my first [2/4] of an episode 😊 A lot of GMMTV (GMM's youth-orientated), some Line, a bit of one31 (GMM's primary) and other channels but pretty much all on youtube. It's where I look first unless I know it's Thai PBS or Channel 3. Thai PBS is also free to stream, has lots of earnest series and lakorns with progressive values ranging in quality from an endearing way to spend a couple of hours to I will never forget this excellence. Gingko on MDL maintains a list of Thai PBS titles with English subs.
While I was in the GMMTV & Line bubbles, it was easy enough to find something through favourite actors' credits listings. Sometimes I follow algorithms (failed searches on bilibili for older movies and series can be great for random never would have thought of this one entertainment) but finding people with good custom lists on MDL has been the best way to break out of the bubbles and explore more deeply.
That moonlit walk at midnight completely scuppered my plans to sub to Viki and I'm very glad it did 😍
