Hi-Tech Maidservant: Ep 22end last scene

I know, I’m lame. I just fast-forwarded to the ending because I know I wouldn’t have time to finish the episode. At this point, Nol has asked Rin to marry him and they are now back at the house on the rooftop—this couple and their rooftops.

Kwan weeping beside her deceased father

It’s heartbreaking to see these pictures of Kwan Usamanee weeping beside her deceased father during his bathing ceremony, one of the first steps in a Thai funeral. As part of the ceremony, monks, relatives, and friends pour scented holy water on the right hand of the deceased individual, and a thread is then passed three times each around the hands, toes, and neck, symbolizing the bonds of passion, anger, and ignorance. I have done it but never understood the concept.

Roughly 2 days ago, Kwan’s father Kasem Phulakert was found dead in a parked car near an eatery–cause of death, lack of oxygen.

At her father’s bathing/watering ceremony more than 700 people which included her fanclub members, other celebrities, singers, and Ch7 executives came to honor her father’s passing. The funeral will span 7 days from September 23-29. On the 29th, his body will be relocated to a temple in Tha Rap, Phetchaburi province where it will stay for about a year.

Hi-Tech Maidservant: Ending pictures

When I got home from work and checked the news (Thai news), there is so much going on, Kwan’s father was found dead in a parked car near an eatery. Film’s mother was taken to the hospital due to emotional distress from the “Talk of the Town” scandal involving her son allegedly fathering a child with actress Annie Brooke.  Film’s mother has not been sleeping or eating, when she saw former Thai senator Rabiaprat Pongpanit  voicing her opinion and chastising Film on a Ch3 show, her condition went from bad to worst. According to Thairath, Annie Brooke has consented for a DNA test. When, where, it’s not clear yet.

On a positive conceited note, here are pictures for the conclusion of “Sao Chai Hi-Tech (Hi-Tech Maidservant)” airing this Friday, September 24. Yes, it will have a typical lakorn ending –a scene at the beach, one of them professing their love, hugging, happiness. It’s how we like it.

They do make a cute couple.

Memory Loss in Kwan and Win’s new lakorn

Yea, it wouldn’t be a lakorn without one. Eh…whatever, it’s not going to stop me from watching it.

On September 15th, Siamdara invaded the set of “Theppha Jamlaeng (the God of Deception and the Goddess of Disguises OR Masquerading Love)” as they were filming the romantic beach scene in Hat Bang Saen. Siamdara conducted an interview with the leading couple of the lakorn “Kwan” Usamanee Waitayanon and Tawin Yaowapalakul and learned there will be a memory loss plot line near the end of the lakorn. Good Grief, lets hope it is brief like half of an episode.

The interview:

How filming at the beach of Hat Bang Saen?

Kwan:”There will be guk-gik (being very playful and overly affectionate) and mood scenes, it won’t be sweet, it will be intense.”

Win:”There will be 2 parts. At the beginning, they will love each other very much, then there will be a big misunderstanding. I will be mad at her and she will try to confuse me.”

Win, you will have to play a person who suffered memory loss right?

Kwan:”Yes, there will a memory loss [plot line]. Then he will pretend [to suffer from amnesia] to get back at me for deceiving him.”

Win:”It will be towards the end when I suffer from memory loss. But at the beginning part, I will only tease/pretend.”

For this role you have to portray a playboy?

Win:”Just about. I have to be a playboy–morally unacceptable, a womanizer who tries to charm everyone.”

Kwan:”He is a man that all women desire–he’s good-looking, rich, talented, owns a company, and has skill in this lakorn na (laughs).” Kwan is mixing the lakorn character with Win.

How many lakorns have you done together?

Win:”Roughly 3 lakorns, this will be our 3rd. I don’t get excited anymore. When I did my first scene, Kwan was the one who taught me many things.”

Kwan:”You shouldn’t call it teaching, they call it helping each other. What I mean is in terms of advice. P’Win has helped me a lot in other areas. He’s extremely good with technology, he is very trendy with hit. He is person who is updated about it. He is always bringing new games to play on set.”

By what percentage has filming been completed?

Win:”About 90%, the first episode will air on the 25th, there won’t be more than 10 queues then we can close the set.”

Kwan:”Actually I heard vaguely that filming might end today (laughs).”

By the conclusion of the interview, Kwan and Win hoped everyone will follow up on their lakorn.

Kwan:”Please follow up and watch this lakorn na ka. This series is one series that we are coupled together. However, don’t be bored with us just yet. I promise this lakorn will be very fun.”

Though I’m looking forward to this lakorn, it is by Kantana productions. Not the greatest lakorn production company, sometimes they bore me. Seriously they do.

A Thai professor destroys a phone for Burger King!

We have all been fooled! The youtube video of a Thai professor destroying a student’s blackberry phone because he kept text messaging and actually picking up a call when she was giving a lecture, it’s fake. It’s actually a hoax viral internet video for Burger King part of their ‘angry whopper’ campaign. I have to give them props, that is just a creative way to advertise. It definitely got my attention.

Om and Jui are red for Burger King

Oh my gosh, this is just wrong–ugly, ugly suit and dress. Red and heavy make-up does not suit them at all. Actually it suits no one.

At the event for Burger King, Om Akapan and Jui Warattaya thanked the viewers for making their lakorn “Sao Chai Hi-Tech (Hi-Tech Maidservant)” a top lakorn with a high TV rating, reaching up to a rating of 20.

Viewers are so obsess with “Sao Chai Hi-Tech (Hi-Tech Maidservant)” they want a sequel–a PART 2. They actually don’t want it to end.  Wow that is just insane considering the plot. Her identity has already been found out, what more can you add? I’m a fan of this lakorn too but I want it to end. Thankfully it is going to end this coming Friday, September 24.

It was originally slated as 15 episode series because of it’s popularity and high TV ratings, it was extended by 7 episodes. Damn that is a lot.
