 Anusaya:

A  powerful voice.  His song "Ta Lod Wela" is so beautiful.  Thanks for sharing.  =)

Glad you like it. The lyrics of his songs are briljant!

Try Kae nan (just that).

How can I generate years for Watch challenge?

Thank you 

Last thai drama I watched was Mia taeng (2011). 

Currently watching Irresistable (2021)

 FroZen:

suparburoot juthathep has 5 different stories. Can I use all 5 in different challenges.

If each story has an own season (is listed separately on MDL), yes. If they are compiled into one title, no. 

 FroZen:

does countryside setting and farm life mean the same?

The idea behind countryside is a setting that is located outside buzzing towns like Bangkok for example. I think that applies to farm life. :)

I have a general question (also asking for tips at the same time)

For lakorns, the duration of each episode can be long (1h 20min or even longer). Most of them have around 12 to 20 episodes. If you could not tolerate or bear something about the lakorn you are watching (e.g. character/ draggy plot/ others), what would you do? Would you fast-forward or skip or do something else?

I am currently watching Karn La Krang Neung... Nai Hua Jai, at episode 9 out of 12. At first, I was really hooked by the summary and the beginning of the story. Halfway through the lakorn, I felt that the story became draggy and some characters started to become annoying. Now, I feel tempted to just skip to the last episode :(

Usually,  I skip that part if the character is annoying and if the plot is draggy I put it on hold and try it later after sometime. Currently, same thing happened to me with Raeng pradthana (Pardon my spellings) , so I put it on hold and I will watch it later when I feel like watching something lazy with slow plot. 

So, I will just advice to take a little break from it watch some other stuff which do not relate to this show and then try to watch again but if you still can't get into it just skip the episode only if you feel story will have little to no change in following episodes.

Hope you find it useful.

Others drop a drama. For me it depends on the situation. If there's something that really annoys me I drop a drama after one episode or even near the end, when I would only have a couple episodes left.

When there is something good that makes me want to continue I'd rather skip or fast forward a couple scenes or watch at higher speed. I did that with a draggy C-Drama for example.

 Anusaya:

I've contemplated dropping both, and replacing them with something I can binge.

Thank you for your replies! It is very interesting and nice to get inputs from others about a certain problem. And yes, your inputs are very very useful! For the lakorn I am currently watching, I decided to just skip the annoying parts (which is literally half of the episode, sorry).

 Anusaya:

They're ongoing so 1eps a week till the end of December.  Both toxic, and the acting in one is cringe worthy.  It's sad when you are waiting for eps to drop and you dread watching them.

If by any chance you were talking about Irresistible, I strongly feel your pain. I am just waiting for it to finish airing all episodes so I can binge-watch (more like skipping tbh)
