They look decent together, Mark Prin and ‘Bella’ Ranee Campen are featured as two lovers in ‘Tum’ Warawut Poyim’s first single ‘Ja Ruk Jon Gwa Ja Roo (I will love before you know)’ after winning The Star singing competition season 9 on Modern 9. It’s a really sappy ballad.
Tum seem to have a strong impression of Bella, he stated he was shy around her because she is so beautiful. They started filming for the MV early in the morning, he met her when she was not wearing any make-up. Even without make-up, she is stunning said Tum.
This MV will be released on May 23rd, 2013. After seeing these pictures of Bella and Mark, Thai fans want them paired off together in a lakorn. At least just one lakorn wrote a Thai netizen. Their faces match. Sorta.
I was introduced to them today by accident while watching the behind the scenes look at Anne and Tik’s new lakorn on youtube. They are ‘The Begins’, their song is titled ‘Chan dee jai tee mee ter (I am happy to have you)’ for CH3′s new evening lakorn ‘Ruk Karm Sen (Love over noodles)’ starring ‘Namfon’ Patcharin Judrabounpol and First Eakkapong. The first episode aired on Thursday March 21, 2013.
The premise for the lakorn is typical, it follows a young who transform herself from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan and finds love with a rich humble guy. She used to be beautiful and did well in school but abandoned it all to work full time in her family’s noodle shop in order for her 2 younger siblings to further their education. When she went back to school, she finds herself falling for her teacher who days earlier saved her from purse snatchers. It’s innocent and sweet and their will be some Juliet and Romeo conflict because her father hates his mother.
A co-worker of mine is a fan of the American AMC zombie TV series ‘The walking dead’, we were randomly talking about it one day. I told him my favorite character in the series is Asian guy Glenn, I haven’t been keeping up, I was told Glenn is kicking ass this season. Good. My favorite character is kicking ass and probably won’t be killed off any time soon. I will stop watching if he is killed and is turned into a zombie. For what ever reason I decided to look up Steven Yeun, the Korean-born American actor who plays Glenn on youtube. This guy is really likable and an adorable Asian guy. Someone is starting to have a mini-crush on Steven Yeun–me.
In yesterday’s episode of Raeng Pratana episode 11 featured a duet of Kratae and Pittaya singing the song ‘Glai Khae Nai Keu Glai (How far is close)’ by Getsunova if you are curious. It’s a beautiful song.
Lyrics:
I try to do various different things to make you love me
I try everyday to give you everything you want
Like walking over a bridge and the destination is your heart
I still think and hope of giving you true love
Why after walking for so long I still can’t reach it
Why does the path look as thought it is expanding
I want to know what I should do
How far until I get close, can you tell me?
How far until you love me?
In what way can I make you be interested in me, for you to be pleased
Can you tell me? That in the end I still have meaning
I have not given up, I am just whimpering with fatigue that is all
In my heart I still love you, it has not change
It might be good if you told me
What is inside your heart, the various reasons why you are concealing it.
Why after walking for so long I still can’t reach it
Why does the path seem to be expanding
I want to know what I should do
(**)
How far until I get close, can you tell me
How far until you love me
In waht way can I make you be interested in me, for you to be pleased
Can you tell me now
That in the end I am still meaningful, have meaning.
Not a big fan of ‘Khu Kam (Ill-fated lovers, Ill-fated couple)’, it’s depressing. I am going to watch it because it is a classic. The story of ‘Khu Kam’ is set during WWII centering around a political marriage between a young Thai woman and a Japanese officer. The path to their marriage was filled with turmoil and their marriage was traumatic but the story ended beautifully and tragically with the couple falling in love and producing a son. The pra’ek, the husband, the Japanese officer dies. My statement is not really a spoiler, this is a classic Thai love story that has been remade several times over the years. I don’t think I can count how many remakes there have been– ranging from musicals to movies to lakorns.
The latest adaptation of ‘Khu Kam’ stars Bie Sukrit as the Japanese officer Kobori and ’Noona’ Neungthida Sophon as the Thai maiden Angsumalin–two people who started off as enemies, actually it was a one-sided prejudice by Angsumalin that blossomed into love.
‘Set in 1939, the early days of World War II in Siam, to Angsumalin meeting one last time with her childhood friend, a young Thai man named Vanus. He is leaving for England for his studies and hopes that Angsumalin will wait for him and marry him when he returns.
Shortly thereafter, Thailand is invaded by Japanese military forces. In Thonburi, opposite Bangkok on the Chaophraya River, the Imperial Japanese Navy establishes itself at a base. The forces there are led by Kobori, an idealistic young captain. One day he sees Angsumalin swimming in the river and falls for her. She, being a proudly nationalistic Thai woman, despises him because he is a foreigner.
Nonetheless, Kobori persists at seeing her and a courtship develops. Angsumalin found that Kobori is a real nice gentleman and start falling for him but she kept her feelings in secret because of the war.
Then, for political reasons, Angsumalin’s father – who is the Leader of Free Thai resistance, insists that she marry Kobori. Understanding that Angsumalin is not marrying him out of love, Kobori promises not to touch her, but he breaks that vow after the wedding.
Despite this, Angsumalin develops tender feelings for Kobori, but is still torn by her feelings for her nation and feel quilty to Vanus, who returns to set in motion a conflict between the two men.’
Written from his own experiences of unrequited love, the music video for Tony Phee’s ‘Pror wa ruk ter (Because I love you)’ does not divert itself from the song’s meaning. The MV for the song was thought up by Tony Phee and his close friends–it depicts a young man (Tony Phee) passing through 3 life times from the distant past, to the Thai colonial period, to the present–each life time, each reincarnation, he never gets the girl. But it doesn’t matter, his love for her is sincere. He has no regrets of loving her, he accepts they can never date.
This song is absolutely beautiful, I have been listening to it for 2 day straight. I can’t get enough of it.
Life time 1: He is a skinny bodyguard to a beautiful princess who already has a prince. He has accepted it can never be.
Life time 2: He is about to propose to the love of his life, he has the ring. She comes to his table bringing a wedding invitation to her marriage to another man. Ouch.
The Present: He is a MV pra’ek shooting a scene of a wedding, when the director calls cut, his bride leaves him with the wedding bouquet, and goes to the director of the MV–her boyfriend. It’s not real, just a crush on his part.
Lyrics:
I know too well, I should not be hopeful
I know too well, I should not bother with the past
I know too well, there should not be trouble
I know too well, today you are dating someone new who is good to you but (because) time has passed for a long time (revolving) no matter how much
The memory still exist (likewise) repeating itself up to this day.
Because I love you with all my emotion
No matter how long, I will always love you
Even though you don’t take notice of me
Even though today we are not dating, I don’t think it is important
Because of the good times you had given me
Has made me love you very much
Even if I don’t have you here, I still remember the good times
All of it, no matter how much time has passed
The memory repeats itself to this day
Because I love you with all my emotion
No matter how long, my love for you has not change
No matter if you don’t take notice of me
Though today we are not dating, I don’t think it is important
Because of the good times you had given me
Has made me love you very much
Even though we can’t date, even if time passes by
Our past will not change and counting from this day forth
No matter how long time has passed, my memory repeats itself to this day
Because I love you, with all my emotions
No matter how long, I will always love you
Even though you don’t take notice of me
Even though today we are not dating, I don’t think it is important
Because of the good times you had given me, has made me love you very much.
I love you with all my emotions
No matter how long, my love for you has not change
No matter if you don’t take notice of me
Even though today we are not dating, I don’t think it is important
Because of the good times you had given me
Has made me love you very much, I love you very much
They look decent together, Mark Prin and ‘Bella’ Ranee Campen are featured as two lovers in ‘Tum’ Warawut Poyim’s first single ‘Ja Ruk Jon Gwa Ja Roo (I will love before you know)’ after winning The Star singing competition season 9 on Modern 9. It’s a really sappy ballad.
