Hi-Tech Maidservant: Real Kiss?


My caption for the first pic: “Jui, how do you do this?”–haha.

Yes, yes, the upcoming kissing scene in “Sao Chai Hi-Tech (Hi-Tech Maidservant) at the beach will be real–mouth to mouth, lips to lips. It was real, a first for both Om Akapan and Jui Warattaya cause you know they rarely do real kisses in lakorns.

Though they went all the way to Pran Buri to film, they could not escape the crowd of onlookers. When word got out that Om and Jui were filming “Sao Chai Hi-Tech (Hi-Tech Maidservant)” around the area, people paraded their way to the filming sight.  Even food vendors came with their roasted meatballs and various other foods to sell to the onlookers. It was like a mini festival. The cast and crew did not know where these people came from, they just appeared.

After practicing, they started to film. The first time around, they filmed a fake kiss but decided to scrap it because it didn’t look right. The director called Om and Jui over to ask if they can do a ‘real kiss’. He allowed Om and Jui to decide for themselves what they wanted to do, both agreed for a ‘real kiss’.

Both felt shy, neither have ever done a real onscreen kiss before. The first take at the real kiss, it was disastrous. Their lips barely touched and they started cracking up with laughter. Om and Jui had to recompose themselves and tried the kiss again. Eventually they got the hang of it. The kiss was long and tender. After they kissed, onlookers cheered. How embarrassing, with all those people watching. I couldn’t do it.
