Plot:

Pongpat Wachirabunjong is Bie Sukrit’s father, his character is Aruk. He is a katoey (transgender) who works as a gay cabaret dancer for a club. When his neighbor, Oradee (Mam Jintara) gives birth to a baby boy and abandons him, Aruk takes the child in and becomes his father. Oradee is a prostitute and her child was conceived from a customer. Not wanted to endure hardship of being a mother, she abandoned her son and ran off with her farang boyfriend to live aboard. Oradee’s son is Tawan (Bie Sukrit).

In order to create a normal life for Tawan, Aruk decides to suppress his “gay” tendencies and devote his life to Tawan. He quits his job as a gay cabaret dancer and moves to Chiang Mai to open a hair salon and start his new life as a heterosexual man. Tawan knows about his father’s past but still respects him.

Tawan grows up to be a wonderful, intelligent kid. After finishing high school, he is accepted into a Bangkok University. He attends university with Plaifah (Aff Taksaorn), a young woman from a rich family. He falls for her but she has no feelings for him. Years later, when Tawan becomes a singing sensation, a superstar, Plaifah and Tawan start dating. Of course, because this is a lakorn, Tawan has an accident and temporarily loses his memory. His mother Oradee also comes back into his life and complicates the situation.

Tawan doesn’t remember Plaifah, he changes into a whole new person. No longer is he a kind and generous person, he turns into a cruel and mischievous man.

Rainbow Moon: Ep 2 Caps

Episode 2 was alright. It did feel like an after school TV special about a young boy who is learning to deal with his father’s homosexuality. Though I support it, it doesn’t mean I have to enjoy watching it on screen.

I do love the two additions: Kaew (“Tao” Sarocha Watitapun) and the soccer coach played by “X” Thitnan Soowansak. They seem real and decent and not like caricatures in most lakorns. Tawan needs a mother figure and Kaew fills that role well with compassion and understanding. Though his father is overly effeminate, the soccer coach can teach Tawan about guy stuff–playing soccer and other guy stuffs that I don’t know about.

There is a saying that no man is an island, meaning humans can’t thrive in isolation. At the beginning, I felt Luck, out of fear, isolated himself and Tawan from the community. Kaew and the soccer coach became their bridge back to civilization, back to interacting with other people in a personal/ intimate matter. It’s a good thing.

Rainbow Moon: Ep 1 Caps

By

RESPECT is the word to describe “Rainbow Moon”. From the acting, the visuals, the storytelling, “Rainbow Moon” deserves much respect. Episode 1 was very impressive. I should correct that… “Aof” Pongpat Wachirabunjong is impressive. Though I know he is not, I am convince Aof is a katoey in real life—the little details, his feminine movement, he plays this role well. Kiddies, this is what you call talent, take out a notebook and write it down. I’m serious!

Note: It’s late. I haven’t read through it, I probably wrote gibberish in some parts. Bear with me.

“Prajan See Roong (The Rainbow Moon)” Teaser 1

Teaser 1

This is the must-see lakorn for many people. Luckily for them, it’s premiering real soon on June 3. I am a little bit worried about this series because it is coming off as a “cheevit” lakorn, meaning a life lesson which has a big tendency to bore. Then there is the whole memory lost plot, not really original. We will have to see how this will turn out, the plot can be lame, the execution and the acting determines whether it will be a good lakorn.

At the start of the teaser, we have Aof Pongpat asking Bie a question.

Aof:“Tawan, if the moon is the color of the rainbow, how do you think it will be?”

Little kid voice:“It will be the most beautiful moon on earth.”

Aof:“The colors of the rainbow, there will be colors you don’t like and like aligned together. Am I right, my son?”

While looking at Aff, Bie says: “Dad, I have found the color of the rainbow that I like.”

He is referring to Aff in that he likes her. What a playa! Using symbolism to express his feelings.

“Prajan See Roong (The Rainbow Moon)” pictures

There are whole lot of pictures too. All photos are from the Ch3 website, I’ll post a few here.

“Prajan See Roong (The Rainbow Moon)” stars singer Bie Sukrit and “Aff” Taksaorn Paksukcharean as pra’nangs and “Ace” Worarit Vaijiaranai as the guy antagonist. At the beginning, Ace is Aff’s love interest, then she comes to realize he is not as he appears; there is part where he tries to rape her. Not a great guy and that is why she starts to fall for Bie, her friend since college who has always loved her.

[Ace drugged Aff and Bie saved her]

There are a lot of elements that make “Prajan See Roong (The Rainbow Moon)” a typical lakorn–love squares, obnoxious nang’rai (girl villains), long lost mother reappearing, memory lost, and a rapist guy antagonist with too much money in his bank accounts. Then, there is the thing that makes “Prajan See Roong” stand out, it’s a gay themed lakorn. No, Bie is not portraying a confuse gay man in this lakorn, the man who plays his father is. It’s interesting.

Gays in lakorns exist for comic relief, they are the jokers, the cheap laughs, rarely are they the themed or focus character in the series. This is something different.

Another theme for this lakorn is the bond between a father and son who are not biologically related. It’s a story about a transgender man who morphed himself to a heterosexual man to raise a child who is not his own because society dictates him to do so. Complicated, right? Another question is this, is that even possible? I been seeing a trend in Thailand, especially in movies that homosexuality is influenced by a person’s environment. Ananda Everingham’s movie “Me…myself” and teen gay comedy “Puppy Love” starring Wattaporn Lamsinthorn, Pongpisut Pew-Orn, and Petchthai Wongkamlao raised the question that possibly homosexuality is influenced by experiences in one’s life and can be changed. I can’t say I buy into it.
