Selected by Thairath Newspaper, the lakorn of the year goes to…Drum roll please…

Hint, it’s a comedy.

Channel 7′s romantic comedy from Polypus starring “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea and “Pae” Arak Amornsuppasiri,  “Jaew Jai Rai Gub Khun Chai Taewada (Jaew, the wicked one and Godly Chai)” is named lakorn of the year.

A few contenders for the top prize of “lakorn of the year” from each channel included:
Ch3:
Poo Yai Lee gub Nang Ma (Headman Lee and Miss Ma) starring Ploy Chermarn and Por Thrisadee, a major ratings hit for Ch3
Soot Sanaeha (A recipe for Love) starring Anne Thongprasom and Ken Theeradeth

Ch5:
Ching Chang (Hate) starring Captain, Puri, Jieb, Pim, Ann Alisa, Pang, Pepper, and so many others.

Ch7:
Sao 5 (5 Saturns) starring Eak Rungsiroj, Kwang, Arnas, Marissa, Nam, Grace, Pai, Oun, Note, and Kam.
‘Kom Faek: Checkmate’ with Noon Woranuch and Por Natthawut.

The final two real contenders were “Jaew Jai Rai Gub Khun Chai Taewada (Jaew, the wicked one and Godly Chai)” and Sao 5 (5 Saturns), it was a difficult decision. Though “Sao 5 (5 Saturns) received the highest rating for the year, “Jaew Jai Rai” was also a ratings hit and was loved by everyone, crossing gender and age group compared to “Sao 5″. It was loved across the board while Thairath described “Sao 5″ as a lakorn loved by people mostly from the provinces (meaning the countryside). Plus “Jaew Jai Rai” made Pae Arak a break out star, he was a star before, he became a bigger star after starring in “Jaew Jai Rai”. In conclusion, Pae and Aum’s romantic comedy “Jaew Jai Rai Gub Khun Chai Taewada (Jaew, the wicked one and Godly Chai)” is the lakorn of the year.
