Currently watching all the popular ones: Love in the air, Big Dragon, Ai long Nhai and Fahlanruk (hatewatch right now, love PingTap only)

I caught up in Ghost house and it’s a total smash! More people need to watch and talk about it! I really hope it gets hyped up soon.

Started TonhonChonlatee for Khaotung, and because I was curious after loving Ai long Nhai but it’s but problematic and sort of mid.

I think you may know but the characters of Ai and Nhai in Ai Long Nhai are the same characters of Ai and Nhai in TonhonChonlatee. ALN is technically a prequel to TC.

The screenwriters and casting are so different that it’s not easy to tell that they’re based on the same characters from the original source material.

Yeah, there is quite a difference between how Ai and Nhai are in Tonchonlatee vs as in Ai long Nhai.

Ai and Nhai are one of my most loved side couples, They are SO GOOD!!! but I cannot see the current Ai and Nhai as something even close to the funny origin. Also Ai is clueless now but he wasn't before. I prefer not to think of it as the same couple because it "pulls down" my watching experience of the new series...
