I saw this show recently on YT. Someone posted it somewhere and I can't remember where I got it from.

I checked to see if anyone posted it here yet but didn't see so pardon me if someone already did. The only thing I saw was Pong's China's trip which is also mentioned on this show.
Its mostly in Thai language but there are some section where the interview is done in English. I think its pretty interesting and frankly quite shocking to me. Its all good though ;)

yeah, lakorns are getting known-ish over here in china..

especially because of the lakorns like jam leoy rak, sawan bieng, leurd kattiya.. etc..

Chinese fans often send me messages asking for my softsubs so they can translate my projects to Chinese. I assume other fansubbers get the same thing. At first, I was really surprised. It was like "wait, you're subbing lakorns in Chinese?" but then I got used to it and realized that there are a lot of Chinese lakorn fans out there.

The ones that get aired on TV in China are all from Exact though.

Woohoo, p'Pong ftw! :strong:

Yes, as far as i know, Exact lakorns are the only lakorns to air in China, hence the large fanbase for Pong, Bee, etc. Thai lakorn is so different from the rest, but i still think they should really put themselves out there more, despite the possible culture shock. Props to Exact!

The lady said ch3 has not enter to be part of it yet -- however, they're working on this .. Exact has more opportunity b/c they sell their copyright stuff to ppl to have it broadcast ..

As for fans -- i know tikker has lots of fans there as well as ATEAM -- most of ATEAM lakorn had been translated to Chinese and transfer over to youku but due to ch3 not having any copyright broadcasting kind of deal -- they didn't get as much recognition as they ought to be. i really hope ch3 agree to do this someday as they do have some quality lakorn out there, deserve to be recognize.

I'd love to have MONTLY INTERNATIONAL CABLE stuff here in the USA too not the satellite kind of thing where it only work for a few months then it stop (rip of $350) but the one that can be renew every month --my dad would love that ^^ and i'm willing to pay monthly to get good reception as well ^^

GOTTA LOVE AUGUST BAND -- LOVE IS NOT EVERYTHING had been on replay in my itouch since last month LOL

Tik is like Bae Yong Jun, one hit drama and he is treated like GOD lol... and Pong is Lee Byung Hun.

All of Ken/Ann lakorns has Chinese sub by fans lol Rang Ngao is slowly getting there. I know Ann has a super large fanbase too and that's without any promotion.

I have to disagree with the lady, Korean drama are known for their sappy sad romance drama but they have a variety of other storyline. I guess she must have only watched those sappy ones.
