Cliché after Cliché

Here we go again, another bad Kantana lakorn for Ch7. Last night I was going through the summary of “Jao Sao Rimtang (Roadside Bride)”, the lakorn replacing Kwan and Win’s “Theppha But Maya, Theppha Jamlaeng (the God of Deception and the Goddess of Disguises)”, it’s literally a lakorn fill with clichés.

Nang’ek played by “Poo” Praiya Suandokmai is an out of luck, poor, orphan girl raised by her money-hungry foster mom (Apiradee Pawaputanon), who has a spoiled brat daughter played by “Mint” Nawinda Bertotti. Her foster mom also has a no-good, rapist wannabe boyfriend played by Tharathip Seehadetrungchai (yea, I don’t know who that is), who on occasion will try to assault our nang’ek Rasa.

Our nang’ek is the ultimate “nangfah (angel)”, she is a diligent worker–values education, values hard-work, kind to others, innocent, virginal, not too shabby on the eyes. Though they treat her as an ATM machine, she refuses to abandon her makeshift, foster family because she feels indebted to them. Soon after her mother passed away so did her father, her foster mother took her in when she had no one to turn to. She feels a moral obligation to her evil foster mom who on many occasions will abuse and take advantage of her. Essentially our nang’ek will be a weak, kindhearted, idiot with spunk.

As for our pra’ek Akrin, played by ‘Stefan’ Tasit Sinkanawiwat, he is described as a good-looking, rich playboy with charm. He is a heir to a well-known fitness complex called M Fitness. Akrin sees women has a plaything and love as a game. His grandfather Amnat (Khun Suchao Pongwilai) is fed up with his immature, careless, insincere lifestyle and wants him to get married. If he doesn’t get marry by a certain time, he won’t inherit M Fitness. It will be given to his competitive sister Ornuma (Prae Amery) who also has to get marry if she wants to inherit the family business.

As the the marriage deadline slowly approaches and he doesn’t like any of his potential brides, Akrin decides to hire someone as his bride. He hires Rasa, the girl he likes and the only girl in Thailand who has the audacity to reject him every time he makes a move on her. Their marriage will be a sham, it will be for on year and he will pay her 2 million baht ($66,766 USD) total. He will give her 1 million baht at the beginning of their marriage and 1 million baht at the end of their marriage. Rasa accept his offer because she needs the money. Around that time, her foster mother finds herself  in the hospital and needs immediate surgery. Thus this is how their life together begins through a fake marriage.

“Jao Sao Rimtang (Roadside Bride)” will air next Friday November 5, 2010 on Ch7.

Long Preview MV of Akkanee’s Heart

– October 29, 2010Posted in: Lakorn

Actually, it is the summary of the lakorn from start to finish set as background to one of the theme songs to the series–the song “Hai Rak Dern Tang Ma Jer Gan (Let Love Meet)” by Pop Calories Blah Blah & Bowling Manida originally sung by Da Endorphine for Tara Himalaya.

Calories Blah Blah & Bowling Manida- “Hai Rak Dern Tang Ma Jer Gan (Let Love Meet)”

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Lyrics:
[Pop]
The cause of our sorrow is the truth that we do not talk about
We have never looked at each others’ eyes, we think and do things selfishly without care for anyone.

[Bowling]
The reason why our trails of tears have never been treated by understanding.
Is because we don’t know, we don’t observe what lies deep in our hearts
It is only stored away, whenever we have done wrong, we don’t ask.

[Together]
When will we understand, when will we let love in
If both of use open are hearts
To let Love meet
When will we understand, help break this barrier down.
To let our hearts have a good and beautiful day.

[Pop]
If we talked to each other, it probably won’t make us cry

[Bowling]
It probably won’t be like this, we would have good days together.
I want it like that, can we?

[Together]
When will we understand, when will we let love in
If both of use open are hearts
To let Love meet
When will we understand, help break this barrier down.
To let our hearts have a good and beautiful day.

I want to forget our past
I want us to understand each other just once

[Together]
When will we understand, when will we let love in
If both of use open are hearts
To let Love meet
When will we understand, help break this barrier down.
To let our hearts have a good and beautiful day.

Khunatum is protective of his father Ken

By

– October 29, 2010Posted in: Thai stars

At an event for Men’s Health magazine, Noi Bussakorn told the funniest story to the press about her son Khun (Khunatum) on how he is very protective of his father Ken Theeradeth.

“He has seen some of his father’s work,” said Noi. “Like for example, when Ken played in “Wiwa Wa Woon (Chaotic Wedding)” with Chompoo Araya and the scene where Chompoo pushed his dad, he walked over to the TV screen and told her to back off (laughs). It was very funny. I just sat there and laughed.”

The kid is 2 years old, he doesn’t know any better.

Little Khunatum likes his infant brother Chun but doesn’t know how to interact with him according to his mother Noi.

“Nong Khun wants to play with his brother na and he does try to, but he doesn’t know how. Sometimes he plays rough by bouncing on his brother with his whole body (laughs). My reaction was ‘oy’ (laughs). My goodness! Play softy. He wants to play with his brother, he wants to give him kisses, and he feels a little sensitive because he is not getting enough attention. I’m always with Nong Chun. He would walk out and watch me and then leave to go play in another room. I have to be fair, once I’m done feeding Nong Chun, I would go to the other room and play with Nong Khun. He knows what is going on, but he wants me to be with him more so. He probably thinks since he got a brother why do I have to be with him constantly. He is a child so he doesn’t understand fully.”

Nong Khun with Noi a few months ago for Praew magazine.

Pictures for Akkanee’s Heart

By
Lyn
– October 28, 2010Posted in: Lakorn

I can’t believe it– “Duang Jai Akkanee (Akkanee’s Heart)” is airing next week on November 5, 2010, making it a weekend prime time lakorn replacing Kim and Aum’s Tara Himalaya. It’s a good thing. I am happy. Less waiting. Yea!

“Akkanee’s Heart” stars Nadech “Barry” Kugimiya and Yaya Urassaya Sperbund as two rivals in everything–school, work, personal life. From the lakorn Tara Himalaya to Akkanee’s Heart, Nadech’s character is the hot-headed Akkanee (Fai) and Yaya Urassaya is Ajjima (Jeed) his equal. They grew up together, they have been competing with each other since they were kids because her father Pisarn (‘Nino’ Metanee Buranasiri) is still resentful that his mother chose his father over him.

Akkanee’s father Khun Montree (played by ‘Num’ Santisuk Promsiri) married his mother Supansa (“Mam” Jintara Sukhapat) and they joined their land together making their farm one of the biggest in the region. Jeed’s father is not resentful because he lost the girl, he is resentful because he lost out in having the biggest farm in the region. Since then, there have always been bad blood between the two families which dripped down to their children, especially Jeed and Akkanee.

They live in the same neighborhood, went to the same school, went to the same university, majored in the same subject agriculture, studied in the same classroom, constantly competing/arguing with each other since the day they were born. After graduating from university, they had a few  years of separation. Jeed went to study in Denmark, Fai stayed in Thailand and worked as a civil servant for a province for 2-3 years before moving to America to look after his sister Thiptara (Nam) as she studied for her doctrine in medicine.

Years later, both come back to Thailand to manage their families’ dairy farm and they continue where they started–constantly fighting, constantly competing. Eventually, a friend’s wedding brings them closer and makes them realize that they like each other more than they hate each other. Their former classmate from their university days, Wirat or Yai (Jirayu Toncharoen) invited and asked them to participate in his wedding in Phuket. Jeed is asked to be a bridesmaid and Akkanee is the best man. As they prepare for the wedding, they see more of each other and something started to click between them.

At Phuket for the wedding, the owner of the resort for the wedding Pruk started to pursue Jeed, which really irritated Akkanee. He became jealous and tried every method to break them apart. Because of his jealousy, Akkanee created a lot drama days before the wedding and bickered a lot with Jeed. At the joint bachelorette and bachelor party, they had their showdown of bickering and competing with one other which included dancing to see who was the better dancer. After a night of heavy drinking, they found themselves waking up in bed together. They don’t know what happened. I’ll leave it at that.

Cheesy cute scenes shown of “Akkanee’s heart” on the “Ratree Samosorn” show when the cast was there. The clips should start around the 5:48 mark.

Diana and Ploy booing scandal part 2

By
Lyn
– October 24, 2010Posted in: Thai stars

How interesting. At least to me, I didn’t hear any booing. Did you? I definitely heard Diana taunting Ploy up on stage as she hosted the event for Absolut Glimmer Vodka. Then again, Ploy doesn’t have that passive personality, she tends to be abrasive. Ploy just being there and being loud probably ticked off Diana. Either way, it’s childish. These two should not be in the same room, building, street, city, country, or whatever together if they can’t act like adults. Ploy should not have gone.

Ploy said this about the incident where she is accused of booing her rival Diana at an event:

“When Mario came out, we cheered for him like I said. But as soon as she came out, I was quiet and watched her interview Oh and P’Tina, but she walked over and asked ‘who are cheering for’,'What are you screaming for,’ ‘for who’. I answered for Mario (high voice). I was cheering for Mario. I was not disrespectful at all, then she went back to interviewing Oh and asked him how he felt about working with P’Tina. Mario complimented P’Tina and said she was very pretty, a woman who is talented and a superstar singer. We cheered and were very loud. “Wu-wu” something like that. Does it seem like ‘booing’? She then turned towards us and said, ‘what are you screaming for? Mario was complimenting Tina, he was not complimenting you guys. You’re so narcissistic. If she didn’t see me at the event, would she say that to anyone else at the event?”

Ploy said Diana started it, Diana said she did no such thing and wanted it to end. Her argument, how can she start it when she did not see Ploy there.

Diana:”The incident that day there is no who started it first or who started it after. This is not a boxing ring, no one started it. I was up on stage doing my job. Up on stage the spotlight was blinding me. Up on stage I was blinded by the spotlight, four were on me. I could not see who were at the event or came to the event.”

“I want this to end and I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I don’t want to be part of anyone’s issues, whatever, how so, any more. If she thinks that I did that, you guys can write whatever you want. Up on stage, who can you see? If you don’t believe me ask the people up on stage like P’Christina (Aguilar) and Mario  Maurer if they can see. I can assure you I did not pick a quarrel with her at the event. If it doesn’t end, I don’t know what else to say. There is nothing else to say really.”

Akkanee’s Heart teaser

By
Lyn
– October 24, 2010Posted in: Lakorn

Out of the 4 part “Kao Yai (Big Mountain)” or 4 Hua Jai Haeng Khun Khao (4 Hearts of the Mountain) series to celebrate Ch3′s 40th anniversary, I think I will like “Akkanee’s Heart (Duang Jai Akkanee)” the best. Already in Tara Himalaya, I am smitten with the hot-heated Akkanee (Fai) played by Nadech “Barry” Kugimiya. I love his rudeness, his hotheadedness, his being the muscle man among his 2 brothers. His name is ‘Fai (Fire)’ for a reason, he’s a spontaneous muscle man who reacts without thinking.

Info on the 4 siblings who will have their own series in 4 Hua Jai Haeng Khun Khao (4 Hearts of the Mountain”

Patapee (Din) played by Mark Prin is the oldest and the one giving out the orders, the organizer where as Wayupak (Lom) played by Boy Pakorn, the Cassanova of the family, he’s the laid-back one in the family.

Din manages the family’s hotel business
Fai runs the family’s farm
Lom runs the family’s winery
Nam, the youngest and the only girl in the family is a doctor.

They’re quadruplets created via the GIFT procedure, similar to in vitro-fertilization.

In “Akkanee’s Heart (Duang Jai Akkanee)”, Nadech’s love interest is ‘Yaya’ Urassaya Sperbund, they are neighbors and rivals who later in the series will fall in love and get married.

The underwater kiss.
