I knew it! In lakorns, they never (rarely) make the nang’ek the biological mother if she is playing a mother to a child unless the child has been fathered by the pra’ek.
For the Dida produced lakorn “Khun Por Wan Waew (The Girly Father)” airing this Wednesday, October 13, the leading lady played by Miss Thailand Universe 2010 winner “Pook Look” Fonthip Watcharatrakul is a guardian to a young 5 year old boy played by “Nong Gino” Chayanin Taowiset. He calls her mom but technically she is just his guardian. Three days before she was scheduled to marry his father Chansak (played by Soonwut Maigun), he dies and she is given custody of Manyu to whom she adores and has known since he was a baby.
Manyu’s mother is Seeda (Pear Pormrampa), she left Manyu’s father when Manyu was still a baby for America. Before she passed away, she asked her younger brother San (Vee Veeraphap) to go find Manyu and bring him to America to inherit her Will. Seeda also asked San to take care and become father to Manyu on her behalf.
Thus the battle begins between the uncle and the stepmother who equally want to be a parent to Manyu. San believes he can do a better job at raising Manyu because he is a man–a little boy needs a father. A woman can only teach a boy so much. Ramida (Pook Look) argues she can be both mother and father to little Manyu by occasionally dressing up as a guy to which Manyu calls “Por Dap (Daddy Dap)”. Manyu knows it just a game. Underneath the manly clothes and fake mustache, Manyu knows it is Ramida or his “Mae Da (Mother Da)”. Kids at school, especially this kid named Boyd were teasing Manyu for not having a father. They said is going to turn out gay because he doesn’t have a father, so Ramida dresses up as a guy and told him she can both his father and mother.

HI CAN YOU TELL ME WHO HAS THIS IN ENG SUBS I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH THIS
this sounds a bit like korean lady daddy
same question like Shona-z. where can we watch this drama with or without subtitles? is anyone planning to sub this lakorn? hehe
really..miss thailand..hmmm..idk..
I watched the two episodes that came out last week- and it was pretty good. Half of the time, I was laughing my head off! The other half of the time, I was complimenting Miss Thailand 2010: Pooklook Fonthip
She’s a pretty good actress for someone rookie-like.. Vee’s hilarious in there! He’s such a weakling- always teasing the nang’ek, yet yielding when she attacks him violently for always stalking and bugging the living species out of her and her “child”, Manyu (Gina is so darn cute)!
Where can I watch this drama? I don’t care if its subbed or not. Its not on youtube yet, can someone tell me where I can watch it? Thanks.
It seems similar to Khun Mae Jum Laeng, except the roles are reversed. It’s good family lakorn though.
