Khun Chai Putthipat is a direct prequel to this series though but the background story is pretty much explained in the trailer/series itself so it's not a requisite to watch the older prequel series (FL's mom is supposed to get married to ML's dad but they didn't so FL's mom hates ML's family greatly)

Laorchan is officially the first one in the new series but I don't really think you're missing out a lot if you jump straight into Kwanruetai since Laorchan is pretty mid.

Filming at Q39 on April 14. If it wraps filming this year, I'm sure it will air in 2025. https://twitter.com/SoldeLima3/status/1779206403351027845

All episodes (UNCUT) are also on youtube for all countries EXCEPTSoutheast Asia, China, Japan, South Korea and US. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVG_B4qKfQfZgojNKtaC9q5o-1JlKeGf_

I kept thinking in my head she looks so much like Ice Preechaya. Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking about such uncanny resemblances between the two actresses

I feel like I've seen James Rusameekae played countless supporting roles and I'm really glad I was able to watch this ONE drama where he's playing the lead role. It's such a wholesome lakorn with a countrylife setting. Of course I dislike all the evil villains in here but it was great to see the main characters overcome all obstacles together. Gee and Yada were so cute as Bank and Khaomai, the people deserved more scenes of them together T-T

yes it is 😉

damn i watched an interview clip with the actress playing the grandma... the way i teared up when she answered one of the questions... oh i dont think i'll survive this film at all...

deehup/yyds spent a lot of money and resources themselves on ifylita so s2 would be real challenge without big investors (you can watch tee bundit talking a bit about it here https://www.tumblr.com/clairedaring/743112079600467968/the-storyboard-interview-with-the-dee-hup-house?source=share)

not anytime soon. it may take years of development due to its plot and grand historical setting. so the official answer is maybe? but not right now for deehup. i hope that helps 😅

SOON TO BE AVAILABLE ON STREAMING IN VIU THAILAND????????????????? i don't know if iqiyi pulling this after 1 hour of uploading is crazier or the fact that this series will actually be available streaming on a different platform entirely

I completely agree with your point on commending the makers for tackling a quite controversial topic. I think they had a balanced approach and was able to show that even when exploiting the business aspect of running a temple, the temple and monks can still very much benefit from it. I wish they didn't leave us on a cliffhanger with that huge conspiracy behind Win's father disappearance. Also kinda not understand how Dear is gonna be able to leave the country when they were all cooerced into running another temple in that last ep.

i came for james, ally and peach, coming out of this series a potato stan. monk dol was truly the best character i love him and him only.

i knew there wouldnt be a happy ending but this was painnnnnnnnnnnnnn

After Joe's rebirth he wakes up in another body, so all the other character in the series will see Winner Tanatat as Joe (so scenes that show reflection like mirror, actor Winner Tanatat appears in the mirror) but most of the scenes are from first person POV/perspective of old Joe so thats why you see most scenes after rebirth are still filmed with Poom Phuripan.

Jim is Ming's secretary. IQIYI thailand got it wrong so they had to delete it and corrected it again but the international post isn't updated

i completely understand why you would think the series is overhyped. as someone who was watching it while it was airing, i was really scared the series wouldnt do the novel justice as well considering they couldnt adapt the second half of the novel but then they kept surprising me with good adaptation changes to the og story so i had hope it'd be strong til the end.

i'm so happy you decided to give ifylita a chance even though there were geo restrictions. i think ifylita is so well loved by the small enthusiasts it had because the actors really made the characters come to life and the production felt immersive for the period it was going for.

Update: March 12 they're filming up to Q37

one thing i love about following nonkul is that we will never truly leave his fanbase in drought. bro is ALWAYS filming something. mouse filming is definitely longer than i expected but i hope it will as good quality as 23:23 was. the nonkul/shahkrit tandem has not failed me yet. i really wish mono would free remember from the basement toooo like we need the bua/nonkul serve.
