Mystery Castle ending already
Tomorrow, “Mystery Castle” starring Rita Jensen and Nat Maurice will end. Wow, that was quick. I know the ratings were bad, as for the series itself, was it good? I can’t really say much about it since I have not been watching it closely, more like a few scenes here and there. I found Nat’s acting horrendous to bear, his manner of speaking threw me off, he came off like a little boy trying to be a big man. Very forced. From the scenes I saw, I was very impressed by the production quality, great fashion sense, lovely shoes (Indeed lovely shoes), amazing architecture, beautiful scenery, everyone’s believable acting minus Mr. Nat over there. An absolute miscast. With a different pra’ek, I would have watched it. Also, the closest filled with teddy bears and Ganya talking to her ‘nangfah (angel)” lady, ah weird.
Replacing it is Janie Tienposuwan and “Nok” Chatchai Plengpanich’s lakorn “Nam Peung Kom (Bitter Honey or Bitter Nectar)”, good gosh, an older man and younger woman love story with a lot of complicated bananas in between. This is a remake of Sam Yuranan and Pupae Ramavadi’s lakorn, can’t say much about it since I have never seen it. I hear it’s a classic, a very good one at that.
In “Nam Peung Kom (Bitter Honey or Bitter Nectar)”, Janie is playing a young woman by the name of Kangsadarn, her mother is Rose (Jariya Anfone), who used to be Purim (Nok Chatchai)’s lover 20 odd years ago. According to the summary, Rose brutally hurt Purim and he has never forgiven her. When he sees her again after 20 years, he wants revenge and uses her daughter Kangsadarn (Kang) as a tool to do so. Errr…kinda ew! He has been with the mother now he is going for the daughter, I don’t know, kinda twisted.
Teaser:
October 16, 2009 is the airdate for “Nam Peung Kom”. See more pictures of the cast here.

i watched the old version of MPK and i liked it but i can’t say for the remake b/c i’m not a fan of both main actors.

I have to say that I love it because it’s different from the original version of Off/Priyanoot and Willy/Mew’s version.

Prasart Mued was fast but It’s good lol. First because I don’t like watching long lakorn : the less episode there is the better for me it is. And that means I will be able to buy it next week at the Dvd store and watch it on my TV !!! Everything is so beautiful in this remake and even if Nat’s acting isn’t great, he has improved to me and I don’t really care because he is just too cute lol.
As for Nam Peung Kom, I don’t know yet if I will try it or not. I love Janie but Chatchai not really. Don’t know if I can stand to see him as p’ek.

You know I could probably force myself to get past the icky story line if the pra’ek was better looking lol, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a higher rated lakorn for Channel 3.

eww why is Nok still p’ek???
shouldnt he have a father role by now?
i feel like he threanted the crew or something to keep him p’ek lol
anywayy ewww that is a twisted lakorns very gross.

Prasart Meud was a really captivating lakorn in my opinion…they did an excellent job with this remake, from the costumes and scenary to everyone’s acting — with the exception of nat, that is. What the f#ck were they thinking casting nat (who has near 0% acting ability) into this lakorn? Any other p’ek would have been better.
As for Nam Peung Kom, I think that it’s plain creepy pairing Janie with Nok Chatchai…the storyline also induces second thoughts (both the mother and daughter sharing one guy? really now…that’s disturbing).

Yikes, totally scared of older, older man and younger girl romance. Chatchai was P’ek in my mom’s day now he still is. All i have to say is ewww and that lakorn would probably get low ratings as well because i’m pretty sure no one wants to see a girl being in love with a guy who’s old enough to be her dad!

I agree Nat is awful in the remake of Dark Castle. He is so stiff and forceful to watch.

I’ve only watched the first episode of mystery castle and I love it. Nat is such a cutie too. Go Mystery Castle!!! lol

hmm…very wrong indeed, yea my mum also said that the older version of this drama is good as well, so i guess i will watch the new bitter honey just because Janie’s in it, all her drama’s were good..hopefully this one will not turn things around.

Umm, this is one odd drama. I could never force myself to love a man who’s 20years older than me even if I tried, especially one that my mother used to be involved with. It’s odd to me that the old version was a good one. For some reason, I just never thought Thai ppl would come up with dramas like this. That picture of Janie and Nok just looks kinda wrong. I’m really not gonna watch this drama. It’s too twisted.
