CH7 isn't uploading recent or currently airing on YT. If YT was so profitable for them, why don't they bother uploading the currently airing ones or even the recent ones? It's all about diversifying, not just depending on any one thing. You put stuff on youtube, have your own stream, sell licensing to other streaming sites etc.

They don't care about international viewers yet because international viewers aren't the main source of revenue for them. They're fighting to keep the main audience which is the Thailand audience, as is. If they can barely keep up with that, why would they prioritize chasing after international? When the profit outweighs the costs, they'll sub it. Some businesses are risk averse. Until they can prove that there is a profitable market out there (or a future market), I guess they're fine with having a small # of international viewers for free.

Onehd didn't always provide subs either. They just started to do so and they don't do it for every lakorn. It's always fan subs first and then when it's grown enough for companies to make money, they takeover. For the longest time (we're talking like 10+years) Korean dramas were all driven by fan subs too! Eventually when the demand is big enough, the supply will be there.

I watched current air lakorn on ch YT before. I posted about it when they 1st started to air the episodes again.

I don't watch ch7 so I don't follow them.

I know why they don't care....my point is that they are not progressive and is stucked

I disagree that 1 hd take forever to sub. It is not as quick as say Viki with multiple subs....but they are sub within a time frame. As far as I see...no more than 3 months.

People has been subbing thai lakorns for awhile now. Viet...Chinese...eng....

It's an explanation.....but i find they don't want to progress. ..Turkish drama has eng sub....they didn't need 10 yrs to do it....they just did it because they saw for example the success from other country and jump on it

Ch3 and ch7 know they have international fans...they honestly don't care....to progress....

How is it that gmmtv and 1 hd has subs....but the other 2 ch don't at all. It not only about profit....it about the company and their mindsets .....ch7 fired an actor cuz he Dare went on another show for another ch... it's their control

I watched gmmtv and 1 hd lakorn and movie on Netflix (usa). With eng sub....although I don't need subs

This is something I thought of…in Thailand, is it difficult to find manpower who are competent in English (or another language) to do subbing? One of the reasons kdramas grew in popularity is because a lot of Korean-speakers outside of Korea actually liked watching them and spread their love for them, and fansubbers grew as a result. Basically in those early days of kdramas going international/regional, I noticed that Koreans overseas do watch kdramas and hype them up, as opposed to the lack of hype that jdramas were receiving around the same time.



But for now, what I can see is that the demand is really there, the supply is really slow in catching up. GMM really created their niche of BL dramas, to the point that most international audience with little knowledge of Thai dramas really think that all Thai dramas are about BL.

I don’t understand why Ch3’s biggest hit dramas from the last decade aren’t on Netflix. Their A-list stars have a lot of international fans, but shows like BPS isn’t on Netflix anymore, 4HJHKK and Juthathep series aren’t on Netflix. When in fact, if these shows are on Netflix, they could have gained more audience just from the fact that BPS2 movie did well and is currently on Netflix, or that some of these actors have other works that are currently on Netflix, and many of these actors or dramas have linked upcoming dramas that are anticipated major projects for the channel (PL & Duangjai Tewaprom). Ch3 doesn’t seem to know how to build their international audience base while these artists are still locked to them.

It's not difficult....they just don't care.
I have watched a few thai lakorns and movies on Netflix. Onehd and Gmmtv

Gmmtv always provides eng sub

I see lots of lakorns from early 2000s with eng, viet, Chinese and khmer subs.

Ch7 is stuck in their old ways....ppl stop subbing their lakorns when they took it off YT. They cut ties with you if you dare do something with another ch...i.e. what happened to that actor...many ppl have left ch7

Viki has a few thai lakorn on their platform....but it from the 1hd channels affiliate

I feel it time to call them out more on that...

1hd has better storyline.....saw 3 of their lakorn this year

Ch3 ...1? Skim through it

Ch7 - 0

@Cupid Candy aww they still look so good together, and more attractive than they were back then lol but I will say they def are touchy but I've come to accept that's just how these thai celebs are

but if it was me in that situation irl, i would be side eyeing my partner and his female best friend. Like my man touchy but she's a little too comfy leaving her hand on his knees and that hand on his back right too close to his butt hahaha

@spanky Ch7 keeps losing actors I’m seriously wondering how it can survive. Saw a comment online that said they aren’t surprised the actors are leaving - supporting actors from other channels are more popular than Ch7’s lead actors currently.

Seriously what was the head of Ch7 thinking? They have been ruthlessly recruited newbies and pushed asides all of their prominent nang'eks. Like how is that a good strategy? Just because Mookda made a name for herself does not mean every newbie actor will be on that same level. With all that terrible decision making and you wondered why all actors are leaving the channel to become freelance. What would they feel when they got overshadowed by premature actors who are barely watchable taking on lead roles, have you ever thought about that Ch7?

I’m guessing ch7 thinks that they won’t miss whoever who doesn’t want to work with them. And they would rather work with newbies who are less demanding and won’t cost as much.

Agree with you guys on ch7’s handling of their veteran artists. But I also think ch7’s new generation of actors/actresses look more promising. Don’t even know who ch3’s new gen is..

I can think of several though… the Duangjai Tewaprom leads for example. Several others should be in supporting roles for several of Ch3 upcoming major lakorn - feels like Namfah, PP and Peterpan will be seem like they will be constantly on screen in the next year at least.

Thing is I think Ch3 dramas take freaking forever to finish shooting, and their programme scheduling seems chaotic, audience will feel like one of the following:

- seeing some actors everywhere at once
- seeing some actors disappear for long periods of time
- taking a long time to get to know new actors even though they are constantly working and are in many dramas at the same time.

Ch3 used to do more events and those drama BTS shows (was it TLKT?) which would allow audience to get to know their actors. But I feel like they don’t do that as much now cos of COVID and social media?

I like Namfah but the other two..I wouldn’t care to be excited about. Most of them, I don’t feel they have the it factor like their previous generation.

I agree though, ch3 isn’t being very strategic in promoting their newbies. Ch7’s newbies are constantly in new projects and very much in our faces so eventually, we warm up to them. I also miss TLKT and they should have brought it back by now.

Ch3 is way bloated with actors and their top line stars are still drawing audiences. These actors are still new, Ch3 dramas take forever to shoot e.g. dramas that were on-air this year started shooting in 2019-2020. PP & Namfah seem to be in several dramas in the last 2 years as supporting but most aren’t on-air yet. So it will take some time for them to make their mark. The likes of Nadech Yaya James Ji who exploded in popularity after one drama are rare. Most of their ch3 top stars took a while to gain audience e.g. Taew, Bella.

Ch3 have too many stars than they know what to do with. I feel for their new gen… have to compete for audience attention in a time where audience is shrinking.

When Mark Kim Nadech Yaya burst onto the scene, Ch3 was having a vacuum of top stars. Ken, Anne, Aum, Aff, etc. were gradually withdrawing from the scene. So when they became popular it was easy for the channel to push them everywhere. But since then and even now they are still the most popular, so it’s hard for newbies to rise to the same level.

Well, everything we have seen since then confirmed all this. Around this time last year he emerged to finally confirmed Bella’s breakup statement by saying he was single and could do anything.:rolleyes:

He sure has a lot of supporters in the media. He came out of of all this rather unscathed.

Considering he only got married in June and the baby was born in Dec, yes it was a shot gun marriage, but how long he had know his wife prior to that remains a mystery.
