Historical Dramas Club

Good Heavens: I'm a goose not a swan 2025, I highly reccomend if you are into historical thai dramas and also love a devil may care attitude FL while still being intelligent and careful.

Added to my PTW. Where did you watch this? 

 Skipper_15:

Heyyyy!

Hi there! Welcome!

 Skipper_15:

I just previously finished watching flourished peony

I recently finished it too and LOVED every single ep!!

Good Heavens: I'm a goose not a swan 2025

I was curious about this one, but tbh I'm not into Thai dramas (except for BLs) all that much. Main reason is I don't like soap opera style, melodrama or over the top acting. But I can be open, lol!

I'm watching Missing Crown Prince rn and it's borderline melodramatic at times and the music is totally over the top sometimes. It's almost funny watching the actors eyes get really big during an intense moment. I considered dropping it but it's JUST good enough to complete it. 

 Skipper_15:

Heyyyy! I'm an avid drama watcher but the historical drama has to be one of my top 3. I would love to join this club. I just previously finished watching flourished peony and Good Heavens: I'm a goose not a swan 2025, I highly reccomend if you are into historical thai dramas and also love a devil may care attitude FL while still being intelligent and careful. She also has a lot of support even in the worst situations. I need more people to talk about it. I hope to see more historical thai dramas like this in the future.

I'd like to see more too but it's tough to find places to watch Thai shows. Most places are obviously not licensed and because of that the video servers are very slow.

what does ptw mean?

The "plan to watch" list in our profiles

 Skipper_15:

Good heaven! I'm a goose not a swan is really mellow compared to some of the other modern thai dramas with revenge storylines and horrible mother in laws. Although the drama isn't a comedy, their were a lot of funny moments whenever the FL would open her mouth against opression.

Ok THX!! I'll for sure check it out soon then.

 Skipper_15:

Ah, I'm so stupid. Thanks for the clarification.

That's okay!  😆

@amdream_weaver  I will check out royal rumours. I did already watch a few edits of it but nothing really caught my attention but who knows.

 amdream_weaver:

As for your recommendation for Good Heavens, I have to admit I haven't watched any Thai dramas mainly because I cannot stomach melodrama and over the top acting which I have been told is part of the package. I might check this one out though, if I run out of K and C dramas.

It saddens me to say that many of the thai dramas I started out with were very melodramatic like hua jai sila and kluen cheewit, the later was actually on the better end but then I found other thai dramas and I'm glad I didn't judge them too quickly. Maybe you could try out 

My love from the countryside, dhevaprom: kwanruethai and of course good heveans! I'm a goose not a swan. One of those might just change your mind. If they don't then you'll lose nothing but I hope to see more fans of thai dramas and filipino dramas in the future.

 Skipper_15:

@autumn iris what does ptw mean? been trying to figure it out for a while now.

Hehe, at first I also didn't know. Just like Indie Art Girl said, it's plan to watch.

 Skipper_15:

like hua jai sila and kluen cheewit

I dropped Hua Jai Sila which I watched because I like Tor Thanapob, but I completed Kleun Cheewit since I like both Mark Prin and Yaya Urassaya. Since then, I will only watch Thai drama if I like the visuals of both leads.

dhevaprom: kwanruethai

ML is so handsome. I think his name is Mike or something. Have you watched Dhevaprom: Dujupsorn? It's the same universe, ML is less handsome but his acting is better. And I really love My Cherie Amour with Tor and Yaya. Haven't watched a lot of Thai dramas though.

I previously watched 2 Filipino movie with Mario Maurer and Win Metawin and 1 BL drama. And I ptw Ilustrado and Ang Mutya ng Section E. Do you have other recommendation?

Jun Jiu Ling

Jun Jiu Ling is my cousin's favorite.

I can't wait to watch Mike Panithan act in future dramas. Funny enough I haven't watched Dujupsorn. I hate when revenge is done for silly reasons, from what I gathered, the reason for revenge isn't justifiable in this drama but I do want to watch it. Hearing that the actor does a good job convinced me. Love tor and yaya myself. I've seen hormones season 1 and 2 and the giver, phenomenal job by tor in those. I have seen a lot less thai dramas myself but when a plot captures me I just dive in. I don't watch dramas that have no substance even if the leads are fabulous and my favorite.

I've seen almost every movie with kathryn bernardo and daniel padilla so you can definitely check any of those out. Favs has to be:

Can't help falling in love

She's dating the gangster

For liza and Enrique it's:

Everyday I love you

I love Ang mutya ng section E myself, haven't finished it yet though. There's also:

 Mga batang riles,

Mara Clara

Kadenang ginto aka the heiress

 Those are vastly longer dramas that I really really love. Only the phillipines can have me watching a 100+ episodes with no sweat but I don't know if that's really your thing. He's into her is also an option that's significantly shorter than the others I've listed and if you are okay with that then you might like the rain in España. 

I'm currently learning tagalog, at an A2 level so I can watch more dramas without subs as you'll find that the subs are very hard to come by for these dramas unless using IwantTFC (which I will subscribe to in the future). All the others are easily found. 

Good luck and Happy watching! Hopefully something I listed catches your attention. Honorable mentions
