Rita’s first real on-screen kiss

And I’m like ‘oh’–a real onscreen kiss. Not a big deal. But this is Thailand, so it is. This coming Thursday, Rita Jensen will kiss her co-star Aun Witthaya on the mouth (Oh no, scandalous!) in their lakorn “Lueam Prai Lai Rak (Lustrous Design of Love)” on Ch3. Rita said she felt burden and worried about her first real kiss because this is NOT a normal thing for her. Because her character grew up aboard and kissing is a normal/ acceptable thing there, the director Term Chaninathorn encouraged Rita to do a real kiss.

“At first, I adamantly refuse to do it because camera angles have always been used to help me. So I have never done it realistically. The director had to come to explain to me why it was necessary. We talked for a long time and he asked for one take. In the end, I agreed to do it, because I wanted this project to turn out great and it will be like another development in my acting. So I agreed to do it. And it did take only ‘one take’, ” said Rita

She added that Aun was very much of a gentleman throughout this ordeal.
