September 18, 2009 for the weekend time slot after Vicky Sunisa and Boy Pakorn’s lakorn “Fai Rak Arsoon (Love Fire of the Beast)”.
“Prasart Mued (Mystery Castle or Dark Castle)’” stars Nattarat Maurice and Sirita Jensen and is a remake of Mew Lalita and Willy McIntosh’s lakorn from the early 90s. It’s a romance slash mystery lakorn about a young Duchess (Rita Jensen) who runs away from home to become a caretaker for a wheelchair bound girl at a mysterious castle. She encounters many odd occurrences while there and falls in love with the master of the estate, Dr. Pharot Panarak (Nat Maurice), a reserve man with a dark past. His wife went missing 7 years ago and people believe he murdered her.
I’m going to be frank with everyone, I am a little worried about this series. One, we have Nat Nattarat Maurice as the male lead. Lets be honest, he’s stiff and too young for a role of a doctor. Two, the fake mustache doesn’t help out his cause either. Instead of making him look older and more respectable, they turned him into a laughable Thai version of Zorro. Every time I look at him, I start cracking up.
Boy Pisanu plays a prince in this lakorn, he falls in love with Rita Jensen’s character and pursues her heavily. “Maprang” Wirakarn Seneetantikul plays a character who secretly loves him.

Filming at Lampang back in February.
I do love the early 1920s themed wardrobe.
Mew and Willy—Nat and Rita. Which pairing do you prefer?
I spy a mango tree. Yum, mangoes.
Boy with Maprang and Boy with Rita.
Boy sure loves that bike. He is giving everyone a ride on it.

I actually thought Nat suited the mustache. It make him look more mature
p’lyn, i start cracking up too when i first saw the picture! l0l
and woooots, p’maprang and p’boy are pairing up together again [:
thanks for the info.
I agree with all of you guys about Nat lol, but I’m gonna have to tune in because this is a classic! It’s gonna be good, and you know the other actors are good, so it’s all good
I don’t know if I wanna watch this lakorn, I don’t like the p’ek they should at least change the guy… he can’t act.
Mew and Willy version was a remake and this is the second time they remake it… if I remember this correctly.
i’ve been waiting for this one. i know nat is young and stiff, but i am ok with him. i think nat and rita look good together. they both tall. and the story line is interesting. i’ll definitely follow this one. can’t wait !!!
rita is a horrible actress!!!!!!!! just because a person is a “look krung” does not automatically give them leeway to be an actress!!
Ive been waiting for it to come out like forever. Can’t wait to watch it. Rita look so cute in the picture. Love the costume as well!
I will definitely watch this because the older version was so awesome. Plus the cast, costumes, and settings looks all too gorgeous. I know Nat cannot act well, but I’ll give him a chance because they can’t all be great actors from the beginning. Practice makes perfect. I don’t like the Zorro look either but oh well, it’s not like they can edit that out!
Lyn, you are freaking hilarious when you comment on Nat. If it was another praek then I would definitely watch it but I just can’t stand him.
i love the wardrobes in here as well. so beautiful — i’ll watch this for RITA and for the script b/c it’s dark and gloomy like sarN’s fic ‘MIDNIGHT MISTRESS’
I will watch it for Rita. She’s a great actress, so I hope she can help build the chemistry between the pranang. If not I still watch to find out what is the mystery in that castle coz I never seen the old version yet. Maybe I was still a baby when the first version, Meow and Willy, came out.
