Hey Mister! Cover up that tramp stamp, we don’t need to see all of that! Oy, this young lad. Ha, I’m probably the same age as him.
Yes, yes, everyone is being shuffled around and Andrew Cronin is one of them. Compared to Por Natthawut who is still ‘deciding’ which channel he wants to move to (Por still has 5 months left on his contract with Ch7), Andrew has made his decision. His 3 year contract with Ch3 has ended and he is moving on to Ch7 to be a villain. That’s ambition for you, from good guy roles to being a villain.
Andrew even signed a contract with DaraVDO for 3 years. “I have signed the contract, everything is set. I have signed a 3 year contract with DaraVDO after I left Ch3 without any problems. Everyone is still my pee (older siblings) as before. There is no problems with Ch3, my contract ended and I had the opportunity to chat with people from Ch7 and we clicked and I wanted to work with them. I also want to grow too.”
The reason Andrew wanted to move to Ch7 is not because Ch3 was not giving him enough opportunities. “I want to encounter something good in life. I don’t feel a grievance towards Ch3 because they have given me a lot of work.”
Since signing with Ch7, he has already gotten work in a lakorn.
“Yes, I have gotten a lakorn. It’s “Neua Manut (Above Human Beings)”. I have not moved to Ch7 to play a pra’ek role. I have changed myself to become a villain. I want to play a villain because my face doesn’t portray a good guy possibly. I have just discovered that myself.”
As to being compared to Por who might be moving channels, Andrew said he can’t compare to Por Natthawut who is more famous and in a higher level than him. Andrew feels touched to be compared to Por but he knows better.
In case you didn’t know, in case you are not subscribed to lakorn subber and Thai music translator AnothaiDara’s youtube account, I just wanted to make you all aware, AnothaiDara is subbing Ken Theeradeth and Cris Horwang’s film “A Bangkok Traffic Love Story or I rode a skytrain to see you”, last year’s top grossing Thai film. It is an extremely funny film, you won’t regret watching it.
Here is AnothaiDara’s playlist for the film. I did notice the playlist is not complete, there are more videos out.
Aff and her boyfriend of a few months Songkran Techanarong are going back on the show that brought them together, the Thai version of Cribs, “Tee Tai Krua” hosted by Moddam, Art, Gunchai, and Oh Pakjira. Aff and Songkran’s episode will premier this Valentine’s Day. They will answer everything regarding their controversial relationship. Is that such a good idea? They’re already overexposed, I think if they dated quietly, the public would be more accepting.
As part of the show and in celebrating Valentine’s day, the host and guests of the show will play a love game.
People are hearing similarities between Mariah Carey’s song “Touch My Body” and Thai wannabe R&B singer Waii’s song “Love you no more” from her solo album “Play Girl”. Now the question is this, did Waii plagiarized Mariah Carey? Did she? Probably. NO, I’m just joking, I don’t know. But then you have to think, she is from the girl group “Seven Days”, Thailand’s answer to Korea’s SNSD and Wonder Girls combined. If her record company, RS records, is willing to copy Korean acts, they are capable of more. She might not know she is copying another artist but her producers might be doing it intentionally thinking that Thais won’t know the difference.
Of course, Waii doesn’t think her song is similar to Mariah Carey’s. “The truth is I’m an R&B singer myself and Mariah Carery is a R&B singer I most admire. She is a talented R&B singer. It could be because our songs have a melisma (a passage of several notes sung to one syllable of text), thus it makes other people think our songs sound very similar. But I don’t think they are the same. Another thing, there is only 12 notes. When you make up a song, you have to mix and match the notes, it might sound similar. I can assure you, we did not copy.”
Waii is not hurt that she has been accuse of something like this. In this industry, it’s normal. “Something like this is normal. I don’t think it’s the truth and that is why I’m not serious about it. I want to share my views and say that we did not copy from anyone. I do want to have my own identity as an artist.”
Reporters noted that Waii has appeared more sexier in this album, her solo venture. Waii said she has grown up more. Girl, you’re only 16 years old. Have you really grown up? HA! Yah right!
Reporters then asked if the reason she is changing her innocent look to a more sexier one is because her innocent look didn’t sell. “I’m only 16 years old, I still have my innocence. For this album, I wanted to try something different,” argued Waii.
Yes, Panyarisa “Waii” Thienprasit is the Thai singer who had a rumor with Junsu of 2PM.
Mariah Carey’s song “Touch My Body”
Waii’s song “Love you no More”—what a fobbish song title.
I swear I heard 50 Cent “something special” around the 1:00 time mark, then you see Waii shaking her ass. Did anyone else hear that? What an odd placement of 50 Cent! All of sudden, you hear 50 Cent’s voice say “Something SPECIAL.” I thought it was a remix, but it’s not. Really, that’s part of the original track.
Produced by Polypus, “Prajun Lai Payak (Tiger Moon)” is a tale of jealous and competition between two women who grew up together like sisters. “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea is Janchai and Yui Jiranan is Parndeun (or just Deun), their fathers were both police officers.
When Janchai became orphaned as a child after witnessing her father and Parnduan’s father being shoot to death by a gang of drug dealers, Nuan (”Tum” Rotrin Janthara), Parndeun’s mother, took Janchai in and raised Janchai like her own daughter. Janchai grew up well supported and loved by Nuan, her daugther Parndeun, and Nuan’s son Tiwa (”San” Prachakon Piyasakulkaew).
After they graduate from school, both Janchai and Parndeun decide to follow in their fathers’ foot step and tried out for the police academy. They both get in.
Their relationship began to fall apart when they entered the police academy because Janchai proved to be better at everything compared to Deun. She was better liked, better respected by their pairs, more skilled, and Annon (”Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros), their field trainer, liked her better than Deun. Fueled by competition and jealously, Deun began to disregard her sisterly bond with Janchai and their relationship began to crumble.
Om Akkapan is our second pra’ek, he plays “Wayu”, a mafia member who likes Janchai because she once saved his life.
Of course there is more to the story, but I’ll just leave it at this.
“Prajun Lai Payak (Tiger)” is scheduled to replace Kwan and Vee’s lakorn “Liam Ruk (Angles of Love)” on February 17, 2010.
Character description of the 4 main characters from Polypus:
“Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea is Janchai, a beautiful girl inside and out. Because she was orphaned at a young child, she is a humble person. She is a gentle person under her tough girl exterior. Though she is just a woman, she has a courageous personality. She is willing to sacrifice herself comparable to any grown masculine man. She is a compassionate woman, who is considerate of others, which makes her very popular with her friends and even her foster mother Nuan (”Tum” Rotrin Janthara), foster sister Parndeun (Yui Jiranan), and foster brother Tiwa (”San” Prachakon Piyasakulkaew). They all love her dearly. Because they had taken her in as a young child, Janchai is willing to sacrifice everything for them. She is even willing to lose Annon (”Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros), the man she loves with all her heart. She can abandon him for the sake of her younger sister Parndeun.
Yui Jiranan is Parndeun, a woman who only has ambition on her mind. She is competitive towards other people and doesn’t like to lose. Parndeun keeps her bad personality trait hidden under the image that she is a good person. She is strict when it comes to rule and regulations to the point where she does not care about others, which made her not as popular as Janchai. Underneath it all, she is not confident in herself because people like to compare to Janchai. Parndeun has a inferior complex with Janchai, which transformed into grudge. Her grudge made her cruel, she became a person who is willing to do everything so that she can be number 1.
“Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros is Officer Annon, a handsome young officer loved by all the ladies. He’s a gentleman and a generous person. He is a man who is confident in the law, especially when it comes to justice, which makes Annon feel conflicted with his relationship with Janchai and hesitate with his relationship with Parndeun. There will be several occasions where Annon will have to choose between his duty as an officer and his heart.
Om Akkapan is Wayu, a young mafia member with high taste. He’s clever, intelligent, and very cool. He is a bold and decisive person. Janchai saved his life once, which made him very impressed by her bravery. His high esteem for her eventually turned into love. Wayu inherited his half-brother Pupa’s gang and made it great. Wayu is the number 1 target for the police and Pupa’s former minions, who want to retake Pupa’s gang and his booming illegal business.
At the end of one of the teasers, Yui says to Aum, “on this planet, there is only one moon!”
The lakorn’s gallery is up. Punch’s MV for the lakorn Ost has been release. According to the teaser, it’s going to be a weekend (Friday-Sunday) lakorn, replacing Oil and Ae’s lakorn, “Kulap Son Nam (Thorn Rose)”. My guess, it will be air within 2 or 3 weeks from now, late February.
I hear it’s a classic, a fun loving romantic comedy about a young woman who dresses up like a boy to investigate about her father’s will. The young woman in this remake is played by 24 year old, singer turned actress “Punch” Warakarn Rojanawat. The pra’ek in this remake is “Por” Thrisadee Sahawong. I have never seen the original with Kob Suvanant and Aekarat Sarasouk, I have however been hearing good things about it.
“Taddao Bussaya” has an air date, it will premier next Sunday, February 14 on Valentine’s Day.
