Thai Drama Club:
Edit: I think it's done. I've checked everything I've thought to check, but I'm too close to this and may have overlooked something.
If anyone is around and wants to help me check for typos, please do.
Also, if someone would check that I got the lists right. Didn't change the old ones, except where it's year-specific. Added lists for Thai PBS and the two travel blocks.
Please check that I got all the years updated correctly (2024 -> 2025, 2025 -> 2026).
Please check that I haven't done something glaikit like omit a challenge or block entirely.
Editing looks good. Links all work. Form ready to go.
two suggestions.
Challenge 7: Award Winning
(0/5)
The first year I did this the tags nonexistent (still are) and search never led to a a comprehensive list off site. There are a lot of award winning feature film/theatre actors that do dramas. This particular challenge -maybe over the next year populate its own thread with a list to work from?
Challenge 1: Actors and Actresses; Watch a title with one of its couples both in real life and in fiction.
Either not offered in list, or a note it does have a rape tag - ML to FL. Rape to romance scenario.
26. "Game Rai Game Rak"

Yay. Thanks Anusaya, appreciated.

I've found that too. "Hey that was really good, did it win any awards?" has been my approach. Or happening into a mention on an actor's page. If the GMMTV boys have won an award for a title, someone will have added a photo. But then I don't plan most of my viewing.
And I thought about a custom list but got a bit stymied with What do we count for awards? Some seem pretty questionable, but I don't feel qualified to judge that. It could get over-full quickly. But it would be very helpful to have somewhere to look for suggestions. I started three lists - titles, directors & screenwriters, actresses & actors - and added some from my 2025 Challenge because that was handy.
26. "Game Rai Game Rak"
I added a warning. Right now my thought is that it's worth keeping so someone (like me) doesn't watch it accidentally just because it's Nadech and Yaya. I'll think about it some more.
I'm not keen on the whole RL couple prompt anyway, that's real low on my reasons to watch something, especially for a title as long as a lakorn. Except Baifern and Nine, but that's because it's Baifern and because it's Nine, not because of their history.
Banners - quick ones: 2021 badges have no year - We could default to them until that happens for 2026. @JulyMoon credit.
Sounds good. I'll add that into the top post on the 2026 Challenge. I went with 'ask if you care and we'll figure it out' because I have no idea who, if any, will care and we don't have to solve a problem no one cares about. And if anyone does care, they can find a picture so it will be exactly what they want.
Edit: Added in. Thanks for knowing this :)

Awards are just weird. There are industry standards that aren't agency awards. On the future to do list. =D
I'm not keen on it either.
Is their anything else? It appears ready.
I so appreciate you, it is amazing what you do. Thanks Elisheva.

oh thank you. couldn't have done it without you, especially when my wheels would be spinning and you'd come in with 'done' and 'easy' and other useful advice <3 <3 <3

i suppose it's too late to prune some things? it takes forever to scroll through the full list and we're probably close to 200 titles to complete.

Maybe not, too much editing will eventually take its toll on you. Rest, and it looks good. 111-118 titles is usual. Adding the content last year brought it up about 20. I like those challenges and they need to stay. =D
B (0/5)
Watch a title with one of its couples both in real life and in fiction (list) <we could take this one off. lol
138 titles full challenge (without extra bonus).
143 (with extra 5 bonus).
Since not tracked and broken up into small challenges - It is designed for users to choose what interests them. A personal challenge with support and discovery. If someone finishes it all (minus bonus) it's just as important as someone that chooses to finish one. =D <3 Maybe it will spark an interest in something they've never tried because they didn't know where to start. It'll be good. ;)

It was hard to switch gears and just stop. Though things like tidying up the Channels list was easy, and needed. Even MDL doesn't call one31 GMM One any more =D
I remembered wrong - had it in my head it was 180+ in 2024 (when I completed it).
160 though, that can probably be brought down, and it might be useful now that there are so many different options. If we prune something, we can always encourage participants to use the Bonus section to add it back in if they want it, and then we'll know it matters to someone.
I am disappointed so few (I think it was just the two of us) did the Travel sections. Thun Thai made it so easy too - four two-episode minis and it's done. Another was a good road trip. Oh well.

From what I've seen, I suspect the opposite is more common - the abundance makes it easy for participants to stay within or very close to their comfort zones. That might be necessary for them to join in at all though so IDK. Like with the actors/actresses list, the majority choose the most familiar (on MDL) names rather than exploring.
I'm going to follow through on your suggestion re the oldest Discoveries list to expand my own knowledge (since this year's Actors/resses list won't help me personally in that at all 555 and learning more is my entire reason for participating). With an eye to gathering names for next year too.
Oh, and re RL couples - can you suggest one or two of Yaya and Nadech's best? They've done so many together I feel like I should watch one since that pairing is an institution. And since this might be the last year for the prompt.... ;P

I hadn't realized that. lol Details - You do good work. <3
I need to populate my challenge. And of course Thai Supernatural challenge. =D

Thanks :)

I knew but hadn't thought about it. Until I was looking for where to put Thai PBS in and realised it was an easily tidied mess. It was an interesting process going through the Challenge that way so I was just tidying as I noticed things. Much easier than looking for them - like a few typos I'd read right past for two years.
I need to populate my challenge. And of course Thai Supernatural challenge. =D
You are so much more organised that way =D Looking forward to seeing what you choose.
The prompt "Title with 4 male/female main characters" - means 4 and more?Jelena Petrovic:
That was added for 2025, wasn't it? I don't remember seeing any conversation about it in this thread. Since JulyMoon isn't here to ask, let's say 4 or more. Precisely 4 is too specific and narrow. Even Hide and Sis (which is great for FLs) has 5 main roles listed on MDL, though you could argue it's really 4.
But it has 4 FLs, and then one more, so even a literal reading of 4 female main characters does allow for it =D
