3 Num Neua Thong: Ep 10 Kritchai’s 2 minute basketball segment

I have been meaning to translate this part since it aired but never got a chance to, it’s the part where Kritchai (Mark Prin) is at the basketball court, letting out some frustration about Arunsri by shooting hoops and thinking about what his two buddies Teetat and Wat had said when he told them he advised Arunsri to give her douchebag boyfriend Pran a second chance.

The scene:

Teetat: ‘I beg of you, stop being the good person. The girl is confused.’

Kritchai:’Confused about what?’

Teetat:’ow, of you following her around, secretly admiring her, being overly concerned about her, then suddenly you tell her to marry her boyfriend– it’s a good idea. Anyone would be confuse by that.’

Wat teasing:’Right, even we are confused. What do you want? Are you going to pursue her or be a crazy person. Hey, if you won’t be straight-forward and pursue Arunsri like you announced, you should change your genitals. It’s bent for sure.’

After several flashbacks of Arunsri, Kritchai asked himself while laying on the basketball court, ‘to openly pursue? How do you do that?’–I have to wonder about this guy, how can he have no experience with girls. He’s rich, handsome, and smart, but yet so shy.

Later on in the episode, he went to a flower shop to buy Arunsri flowers and nearly had a panic attack.

Kritchai standing in front of the flower shop:’Ahey, what flower should I buy? I don’t even know what she likes. If I buy it, she might not like it. When I give it to her, do I have to say anything? To give her for what occasion? Will she accept it? If she doesn’t accept it, what will I do? What should I do?’–that is a lot of question.

The florist sees him and came out. ‘Hello, would you like to order some flowers? For what occasion–to visit someone sick or for your girlfriend?’

Kritchai said he will pass for today, maybe next time and run to his Mercedes and exclaimed, ‘why is chasing after a girl so difficult?!!’–it’s pathetic and enduring at the same time. I love this character.

Thairath’s lakorn of the year 2011 goes to…

At the start of the year, the TV industry looked lively–the economy was prospering, the currency was strong, price was decent, everything looked good. Then, the great flooding occurred and everything went down hill. Even though the Thai television business is a strong industry, it was affected by the flooding–filming sights were flooded, production houses where editing took place flooded, stars’ houses were flooded. Luring advertisements, the industry’s bread and butter, was an issue. New projects, we shouldn’t even talk about them because they were swept away by the flood.

3 Num Neua Thong: Ep 1 Caps

I find myself smitten with this series, when episode two ended today, I wanted more. I love this modern take on relationship in Thai lakorns compared to the ‘rag to riches/ Cinderella meets her prince charming, they do the slap and kiss dance, and they get married at the end’ plot line.  It has nothing to do with that, this is life and relationships.

Hey, I hate proofreading, enjoy the grammar errors. Ha.

The teaser for ‘Saam Num Neua Thong (3 Golden Men)’

Oh good gravy, I have some concerns already–’Ken’ Phupoom Pongpanu, his expressions, his dialogue delivery kinda hard to watch. He is struggling and this is just the teaser.  Oh my. At least he is not the main character, he is part of the ensemble of main characters.

The teaser gives you a glimpse of their relationships and misunderstandings. The pairing of Mark Prin and Kimberley Anne Woltemas has a misunderstanding about sexual orientation, she thinks Mark is gay.

Kim or Arunsri sees Mark or Kritchai in awkward situations with his friends. His friend Watchara falls on him, Ken holds onto his arm like a lover. She suspects he might be gay. In the teaser, she does confront him about it by saying, ‘we have come to this point, I don’t want to get slap.’ He looks at her dumbfounded, like wha? ‘Getting slap?’

‘You people love intensely and are intensively jealous,’ she continued to tell him by reaffirming the gay stereotype of gay men being overly passionate about love.

This is definitely not the case said her friend Fai played by newcomer Marie at lunch. He is not gay, he likes you, she tells her. ‘The way he looks at you, I can confidently tell you he likes you.’

In another clip, his assistant screams out: ‘Khun Krit is not GAY!’

With Watchara played by Boy Pakorn, his girlfriend wants to get marry. She is not asking for a ‘no’ or ‘yes’ answer, she is demanding it. ”This is not a question, or a negotiation, you have to marry me within this year, ‘ she angrily tells him in the teaser where he is sitting on the couch.

Toey and Ken are the bickering pair. At one point she tells him,  ’I will make a self-absorbed guy like you bow down to my feet.’

Pong Nawat has been tapped to do ‘Ban Sai Thong’

I have not seen the original, all 100 of them or how many there are of this series. When it’s good, they keep remaking it- I believe this is the third or the fourth remake of the lakorn version. Yah. It’s one of those classics they will remake every 10 years or so.

In the latest version, Sir Pong Nawat has been approached by Daravdo productions to play the lead role of Chai Klang–the charismatic, do-gooder, who will marry our nang’ek and help her reclaim her role as the lady of Ban Saithong.

Pong feels honored to be approached for this role, it is a classic. Actors become national level Thai stars when they take part in this lakorn.  He wants to be part of it, but his schedule is packed with Exact Scenario lakorns. ‘We talked about it and they (Daravdo) invited me to play (the role of Chai Klang) and I’m interested because it’s a good role. It’s a legend. I want to take on role. Right now, I have been clearing up my schedule because I am booked for 2-3 Exact Scenario lakorns,’ said Pong.

Pong has been approached because of his booked schedule, nothing has been confirmed. I don’t know. They did say the nang’ek is ‘Min’ Pechaya Wattanamontree. This will be a Ch7 lakorn,  which is alright. The problem lies in the production company of Daravdo, they don’t make good quality lakorns–not in terms of story or acting. It’s the production quality–the way they film, it looks disorganized and I don’t want to use the C word.
