Thailand’s leading actress ‘Chompoo’ Araya Hagate walked down the Cannes Film Festival red carpet today wearing a Zac Posen aqua green puffy gown creation from his Spring 2013 collection. The dress looks like an upside down aqua-colored rose blossom. Interesting choice. She looks beautiful. Chompoo went to Cannes as a L’Oreal Paris spokesperson for Thailand.

The two Asian ladies are keeping a close eye on Chompoo.

This is old, the beginning of the month of May 2013 old. It won’t be in Khun Chai Puttipat, we have to wait a few more weeks for this scene of James Jirayu giving Bella Ranee Campen a kiss in the last installment of the Gentlemen series in  ’Khun Chai Ronnapee’ with James Ma and Mint Chalida. It’s the last scene of the series where James Ma marries Mint Chalida with all his brothers and sister-in-laws present. At this point, Krong Kaew and Khun Chai Puttipat are happily married. She is wearing pink as one of the bridesmaid for her youngest brother-in-law’s wedding. In one scene, she gets a kiss from her husband. A real kiss between two people who unconditionally love each other.

It’s well documented Bella and are close friends on set. They are playful together, she is seen in this clip bending his hands and then massaging him.

The kiss that took several takes and it was a real kiss.

It’s like I am a drug addict and the series ‘Khun Chai Puttipat’ is my crack–I can’t get enough of it and most likely I will suffer from withdraw symptoms when the lakorn ends this Friday May 24, 2013. It has been a long time since I have been MAJORLY obsess with a show, since the Korean series ‘Coffee Prince’–that was difficult since I had to reply on subtitles. With this, I can get all the spoilers I want, watch it live, it’s pretty satisfying getting a quick fix as much as I want.

This lakorn transcends beyond James Jirayu, people seem to think the star of the series carries the show–to a certain extent it does but there has to be a good story executed well to make people cling emotionally to it. I think Khun Chai Puttipat is one of those rare gems for lakorns, it does have its flaws but I can overlook them because of the story and the chemistry of the cast. There is no weak characters–they embody what they are playing from the villains you hate to the good guy characters you love. It’s well-acted. I applaud the producers who chose their actors and actresses well.

It’s Sunday May 19, 2013 and I have watched all the episodes of Khun Chai Puttipat that aired this weekend from episode 7-9, I think episode 7 was the weakness and it only went uphill from there. It got better and better. I just didn’t want it to end. Because each prime time lakorn is almost 2hrs long, when you are doing summaries, you want it to end.

Fighting for her well-being, Krong Kaew attacks Khun Chai Pat without knowing it. He carries her to his car.

‘It’s me, look at me, Kaew! Those people were trying to kidnap for Khun Pinit.’

She looks up and sees him and his two younger brothers. ‘You came to help me.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Right now, you are safe.’

The brothers advised Khun Chai Pat to take Krong Kaew into hiding, Khun Pinit is becoming more ruthless, he won’t stop until he has Krong Kaew, they must flee.

Khun Chai Pat:’Will you go with me?’

He puts one of her shoes on for her:’I found this and I knew you were in danger.’

The brothers watched their hermit older brother with a smile, like fangirls. Aw.

Khun Chai Pat:’We must quickly leave here.’

She lets out one tear drop and the brothers are like awwing in the background with smiles. Off they went off in his car.

Krong Kaew:’I have cause you trouble again.’

Khun Chai Pat with a smile:’Who says that, you are helping me instead. Since I become a doctor I have never taken off not even a day. No one could ever remove me from the operation room until you Kaew.’

Kaew changes the subject:’The road is really dark.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Are you afraid?’

Kaew:’I am scared.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Scared of the dark road or are you scared of me?’

Kaew looks at him with a big smile:’I am scared of you ka. I am afraid you would abandon me in the middle of the road. I would definitely die.’

At Khun Pinit’s home, he goes on a rampage on Bai Bua for failing again. They don’t know where Kaew went or with who.

He takes her to his family vacation home in Hua Hin. He drove all night and it’s morning. She is asleep in the car, she removes her hair for her. Fangirl moment!

When she wakes up, he quickly removes his hands. Dork.

‘Was I asleep for a long time? Why didn’t you wake me up.’

Khun Chai Pat:’I saw you sleeping well, I didn’t want to wake you up.’

She hears the slashing sound of the ocean tides and asked Khun Chai Pat what is that noise. He tells her it’s the ocean and her eyes lite up. ‘I didn’t tell you yet. This is Hua Hin and the ocean is just in the front of the house.’

She runs to the beach like an overly excited child seeing the ocean for the first time. ‘It’s the ocean,’ she repeats. ‘It’s really the ocean.’

She is amazed by how wide it is, like how everyone has told her. This is beyond what she excepted and leaps up and down. She takes off her shoes and tells Khun Chai Pat she is going to play in the ocean. She invites him to come along too. He does. If his brothers saw this, they would be greatly surprised. She is getting him to do things he would NEVER do.

She taste the ocean water and tells Khun Chai Pat:’It’s really salty.’

He is amused by this, he has never said her this happy before.  ’You are more happy than when you won Miss Siam.’

Kaew chuckles:’Don’t make tease me ka.’

She notices her wet evening gown: ‘oh no, I have dirtied the evening gown you brought for me.’

‘If it is dirty, you can still wash it.’

She notices his specs, she notices dust. She took them off, blows away the dust, and placed them back on his eyes. He doesn’t move while she does this, like he is in a love trance.

They stare each other for a moment, or two, or three.

At the same time, his grandmother and great aunt On is reading the newspaper getting whiff of his night with the beauty queen at the ball. The situation is worsen by the appearance of Maratree who is livid with Khun Chai Pat. The grandmother and great aunt want to talk to Khun Chai Pat but he is no where to be seen.

Great Aunt On is not amuse, Grandmother Iat thinks they should be rational in this situation, he might a good reason for not returning home. They can’t judge before they know the truth.

The two lovebirds are interrupted by a man pointing a shotgun at them. ‘Who are you people? If you don’t make it clear, I will shoot you.’

It’s the housekeeper, it’s been a long time since Khun Chai Pat came to his family’s Hua Hin vacation house.

He notices Krong Kaew, she looks familiar, Khun Chai Pat tells him she is Miss Siam but he should not tell anyone.  ’Don’t tell anyone here, Miss Krong Kaew wants her privacy.’

Khun Pinit is fed lies by Ing-On her her two evil children Nan and Glai-Lerk–they lie that Khun Chai Pat has taken Krong Kaew against her will. Gr!

Khun Chai Pat wakes up to find Kaew cooking, she is making seafood porridge. The housekeeper and his wife finds them adorable and notes how Khun Chai Pat is a gentleman. They didn’t sleep in the same room together. The housekeeper tells his wife if this was him, he would not let this opportunity pass.

His wife:’You are so perverted, he is a gentleman, a son with heritage and pedigree. Not like you, acting like a  criminal and taking me beforehand (before marriage) and then asking my parents for my hand in marriage afterwards, am I right?’

The housekeeper tells his wife, times have change, people don’t care anymore. They sleep together even though they are not engage or married.

His wife:’Err! If he does that, he wouldn’t be a Jutathep gentleman.’

After the meal, they walk into the town.

On the beach:

Khun Chai Pat:’Can you say here for a few days?’

Kaew:’In the end, I brought trouble to you again.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Who said that? Me and my brothers involves ourselves instead.’

Kaew:’Like this, will he do anything to you guys?’

Khun Chai Pat:’Kaew, my family is not penniless na, He is not the only great person in this county. He used a criminal method with you. If we did not thing, then we are like crowds, shameful, not befitting of a man.’

Kaew:’But I am scared.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Don’t be scared, I will protect you.’

Kaew:’I am not scared for myself, I am scared on your behalf. He is a big great man with enormous power na ka. ‘

Khun Chai Pat:’If good people are scared of evil people, let them do what they want, this would could not go on Kaew.’

Kaew:’But you shouldn’t underestimate him na ka.’

Khun Chai Pat:’ I am not stupid Kaew. Whatever I do, I have to evaluate it. You are at my home, if you blend in with the townspeople, his people might find it difficult to find you.’

Kaew and Khun Chai Pat send telegraphs to alert everyone they are taking a break.

Khun Chai Pat:’I have called out from the hospital. There shouldn’t be an issue. Since I started working, I have never called off. When others called off, I took their place.’

Kaew:’I know. You love you love your job very much.’

Khun Chai Pat:’That is correct I love my job very much for that reason let me have a break and find something else to love.’—The corny love lines starts now!

She looks away and changes the subject. ‘Errr..since we are done here, lets go back. It’s getting hot.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Don’t you want to ask me anything…’

Kaew:’Ask you what?’

Khun Chai Pat:’Ask me why I took a break from work to love what? Or who?’

Kaew turns to look away. ‘I don’t want to ask.’

Khun Chai Pat:’You don’t want to ask because you don’t want to know or you already know.’

It’s getting very uncomfortable for Kaew, she turns to walk away from him. LOL.

Khun Chai Pat is recruited to help deliver a baby, off to the islands they went.

It’s funny, the woman’s in-laws didn’t want Khun Chai Pat to deliver the baby, he looks so young, can he do the job they complained. The dad pleads with his parents to let the doctor help his wife deliver the baby.

The midwife feels insulted she leaves and Khun Chai Pat examines the woman. Her baby’s head has not turned. He massages her pregnant stomach to move his head. It won’t be too difficult the mom is a big woman, if there is any complications, they will need to do an emergency c-section. Kaew is startled by this revelation, she informs him they don’t have instruments for that. He tells her to hush up.

Khun Chai Pat with confidence:’Don’t worry, I said there shouldn’t be a problem, then there won’t be a problem.’

Success! With a big smile. He delivers the baby. NARAK! It was totally weird, the delivery was like a sports game. When she finally deliver the baby, everyone cheered like their team made a score. Dude. Weird.

Khun Chai Pat takes a stroll with Kaew after the delivery. ‘You are talented, you are not afraid of blood.’

Kaew:’Because you are talented, I wasn’t scared.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Usually, I don’t deliver babies.’

Kaew:’But why did you seem so confident?’

Khun Chai Pat:’That can’t be Kaew, if the doctor is not confident, what will the patient do?’

Kaew:’Oh wow, you made it seem easy when really it was difficult.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Giving birth is a natural process. The natural process is one half, for us we are the other half.’

Kaew:’But you were able to save the mother and child.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Because we were fortunate. The problem wasn’t that big, we could handle it. If we were unfortunate, instead of getting gratitude, we might get flattened here.’

She laughs at his joke.

Maratree learns at the hospital Khun Chai Pat is at Hua Hin and goes on a rampage at his home, she whines to his elders. Blah Blah. Oy.

They are asked to stay at the island and Khun Chai Pat is asked to name the baby. He passes the honor to Kaew. She names the new child Samutai meaning the ocean of Thailand. Not bad and he playfully pats her head. ‘You see, you name him better than I would.’

The mother noted Kaew and Khun Chai Pat are a cute couple, she is beautiful and he is handsome. They seem like they love each other very much, she told them. Awkward. In a good way. He smiles at her amused by their praises.

Later that night taking a dark night scroll on the beach, Khun Chai Pat asked if Kaew she felt embarrassed they thought they were lovers.

Kaew:’Not at all. I didn’t think anything of it.’

Khun Chai Pat:’When you say that, I feel extremely disappointed.’

She turns to look  at him: ‘you keep saying inappropriate things.’–oh girl, you just don’t know the half of it. There will be more of his corny lines coming your way.

She looks at the stars. ‘There are so many stars. Here you can the stars clearly, more than my home in Ayutthaya.’

Khun Chai Pat:’you like looking at stars?’

Kaew:’Ka, but I don’t know the names of the stars. I just enjoy looking at them casually.’

He points to a constellation. ‘Look over there, they call that the north star.’

He points to the cluster of stars and asked her to count. She counts only six.

‘There is seven.’

Kaew:’I only counted six.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Most people can only see six, but people with a good eye, skilled in looking at stars, they see a hidden star…they call it a little shy chick.’

‘Where? Are you deceiving me?’

Khun Chai Pat:’Why would I lie to you.’

She tells him to stay still, she uses his pointed arm as an anchor and finds the hidden star.

She turns to look at him and he stares deep into her eyes. Wow.

Khun Chai Pat:’Are you the most beautiful Kaew, more beautiful than any star.’

She turns away and utters his name softly. “Khun Chai.’

‘I am telling you the truth.’

She continues to stare at her. She tells him to stop.

That night they will wait for a comet to pass, it was in the newspaper, people near the beach will have the best view. It will appear around 3 AM. Kaew worries she might fall asleep by then.

Khun Chai Pat:’If you fall asleep, I will wake you up.

Kaew:’What about you, will you not fall sleep?’

Khun Chai Pat:’ How can I fall sleep when you are near me.’–CORNY!

They returned to look at the constellation.

They returned to the main island holding hands. Walking up the stone steps, they are confronted by his great aunt On. She is about to faint because he is with Krong Kaew. Just faint woman, no one cares. This woman is just terrible.

‘I am about to faint. He is really with that Beauty Queen!’

Kaew releases her hands from Khun Chai Pat’s hand and he notices it.

They get a stern lecture from his Great Aunt On. She is disappointed by their actions, they went off in a boat and stayed overnight, this is shameful. She never thought he would do something like this, especially with a woman who shows off her naked body to the public.

Kaew looks up at his Great Aunt On. ‘I wasn’t naked.’

Great Aunt On:’I wasn’t talking to you. Don’t interrupt.’

Khun Chai Pat:”Khun Ya krap, we didn’t do anything shameful.’

Great Aunt On:’Just attaching yourself to this woman is ruining your reputation already. You have no experience with deceitful women. I have seen  plenty those who want to raise themselves up, some compete in beauty pageants, others look for rich husbands, while others do both. No shame.’–oh shut up woman.

After hearing what his Great Aunt had said, he immediately looks at Kaew to see her reaction. From what he could tell, Kaew is hurt by her words. He is ordered by his Great Aunt to return to their palace immediately. No excuses, he must return by himself.

If not does he want to see his grandmother and his great aunt die in despair. That is a little dramatic Great Aunt On. Let the boy get some love.

‘You probably don’t see that low class woman better than us.’ She insinuates.

He doesn’t answer her. ‘Answer me,’ she demanded.

Kaew can’t take the insult anymore, she walks out of the lecture. Khun Chai Pat is about to follow her, his Great Aunt On orders him to stop!

Eventually he follows her to the beach, he finds her crying.

She walks away from him.

‘Where are you going?’

Kaew:’Please don’t bother with me. let me go.’

Khun Chai Pat:’I will not let you leave.’

Kaew:’But I don’t want to be a problem, cause you trouble and have you argue with your elders. Please let me go.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Then what? Are you going to risk it and be captured by Khun Pinit?’

She doesn’t answer him.

Khun Chai Pat:’Kaew if you get captured, do you know how sorry I would feel.’

‘Khun Chai.’

He takes her both her hands. “I beg of you. Don’t worry if I would be in trouble, I am willing do everything for your safety because you are important to me. I will go back to Bangkok and resolve everything with my grandmother. You stay here and I will quickly return to you. Please believe in me. Don’t go anywhere.’

He pulls her in gently for an embrace. ‘Everything will pass without trouble. Please believe me.’

She doesn’t say anything but doesn’t let him go. I think I am gonna punch someone, they are so ADORABLE. I have to praise this woman, Bella is doing a phenomenal job at being Krong Kaew. People are buzzing about James Jirayu, they need to buzz about Bella at the same rate too.

Khun Chai Pat is force to confront his grandmother and Great Aunt and to explain himself. His younger brothers tried to help him out inviting their elders to go talk outside, their Great Aunt On told them to hush up. Khun Chai Pat is not escaping this interrogation today.

The grandmother:’You have to accept you have no experience with women. Since you were a kid to adult, you have been with textbooks and in the operation room. You won’t be able to detect the trickery of certain type of women. Believe me.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Kaew is not that type of woman. She is a good person.’

Great Aunt On:’A person who dressed scantly for the whole country to see and is willing to be a junior (mistress) to Khun Pinit, you dare say she is a good person? That woman has no value, no dignity, she is more dirty then feces. Don’t go dirty yourself more than this.’–Woman, that was harsh.

Khun Chai Pat:’Grandmother, you can’t decide on the opinions of other people. It’s not fair.’

The grandmother:’You dare criticize me?’

Khun Chai Pat:’Do you know why she entered the beauty pageant because her father is ill. It cost a lot. she had no choice but to dress like that up on stage. Kaew has never thought of being anyone’s mistress. Kaew is trying to flee them. It’s Khun Pinit who is refusing to stop, he is using every method to take her. This is the reason why I had to take Kaew.’

Great Aunt On:’Regardless it doesn’t matter, that woman is too lowly for us to ruin our reputation for.’

Khun Chai Lek inserted himself. ‘What is lowly, what is high, how can you tell? Didn’t you teach us, regardless of our pedigree, our title, it has no value unless we are virtuous.’

Khun Chai Ronnapee:’If Khun Kaew is a good person, would their be any uses for a title?’

Great Aunt On:’Both of you, you dare throw it back at me.’–They are.

Khun Chai Pat:’Didn’t you teach us, we were fortunate to be born to have the Jutathep last name but don’t use this opportunity to oppress other people. We should use this to help other who are not as fortunate as we are.’

The Grandmother:’If it true like what you say, I must forbid you to have contact with her.’

What?

The Grandmother:’Tan Pinit is a person who has  the most power in the country at this time. You should not look for trouble and argue with him. It’s not safe.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Grandmother! You are telling me to stay still and watch a good person be bully by a person with power?’

Great Aunt On: ‘Your grandmother is saying  you should remove yourself so another person can handle this directly.’

Khun Chai Pat:’The person who is responsible to handle who is this person?’

Great Aunt On:’Anyone as long it is not us.’

Khun Chai Pat:’You know well there is no one.’

Great Aunt On:’Stop incessantly arguing with me.’

Khun Chai Pat startled his great aunt by raising his voice at her. ‘I just wanted to tell you, the duty of helping a good person from a bad person is the responsibility of everyone. Am I right? Aren’t you proud your grandsons are not staying quiet and still against the unfairness of society? Or do want us to remain still be good people without doing anything. Seeing a good person be oppressed, but whatever. Seeing a bad person bully a person who can’t fight back like a fun entertainment…just let it go….just like that?’

Great Aunt On accused Khun Chai Pat of being brainwashed by Kaew. He defends Kaew saying:’Kaew is just a small woman who is persistent in defying the dark powers in every way. Now what about us? We are the Jutatheps, our authority is not small. What are we doing, we are not doing anything? And we say we are good people this and that. Aren’t you embarrassed?’

He looks up at his grandmothers and tells her has been obedient, he has listened to them. Just this once, let it pass. ‘Just this once, don’t forbid me from doing the thing I should be doing.’

The grandmother:’Chai Pat, you have to tell us the truth you don’t love that woman.’

He doesn’t answer her, meaning yes he does love Kaew.

Kaew remembers what Great Aunt On had said, she sits alone crying and the housekeeper’s wife came to console her. ‘I want these terrible things to come to end Auntie. I pity Khun Chai, I don’t want to be more of a burden to him than I am now.’

‘I will leave here to go back to live with my father.’

She is urged by the housekeeper’s wife to stay.  She is leaving, no matter what happens, it doesn’t matter.

The housekeeper stops her. ‘It would better if you wait until Khun Chai returns, if you leave, do you know how sorry Khun Chai would be?’

She decides to wait for him.

Left or Right? Raise your left hand if you don’t love her. Raise your right hand if you do. He raised his right hand, he does love Kaew and the brothers cheered. Since he does love her, Khun Chai Lek has an idea but it will go against their grandmother.

When his brothers remind him of the obstacles he is facing with their grandmothers, with Khun Pinit, with Maratree. He told them he will solve each problem one by one but the most important issue is KAEW! Oh my gosh.

Khun Chai Ronnapee:’The most important? Why? Because of the heart?’

Yea! He doesn’t hide it.

The next day at the hospital, Khun Chai Pat is informed by his boss Khun Pinit came by to talk to him about the situation with Kaew and how Khun Chai Pat took her from Khun Pinit. Khun Chai Pat apologized for his actions and explained himself. ‘The thing that I have done is because I can’t stand aside to watch a good person be preyed on by someone who wants to take advantage of them.’

His boss informs him Khun Pinit is withdrawing the money he donated from the hospital. However, he is not siding with either Khun Pinit or Khun Chai Pat, all he cares about is the patients who benefited from the donation.

Khun Chai Pat can’t believe it, Khun Pinit is using dirty methods to make him yield to his demands. Khun Chai Pat’s boss tells him Khun Pinit has many methods, he didn’t elaborate on what.

After hearing the unsettling news from his boss, he runs into Maratree in the hallways and she goes off on him. Geeze. ‘Your trip to Hua Hin, was it fun? Will you not tell me who you went with?’

He changes the subject and tries to get away from her. ‘I have an operation scheduled, I don’t have time right now.’

Maratree:’You don’t have time or you can’t face me? Are you embarrassed you took a woman who aroused the whole city to as far as Hua Hin?’

He shouted her name loudly out of disdain and walked away. Ha.

The hey, they found her. Khun Bai Bua and Khun Pinit’s men found her.

She is helped by the housekeeper, his wife and the townspeople. This guy and his gun–funny.

Maratree doesn’t know when to stop. After the surgery where he has no blood on his gown (ha), Maratree comes at him again. ‘Pee Chai Pat ka, we have to talk about this.’

She accused him of NOT caring about their family’s name and honor.

‘Maratree:’This is not a place to talk about this.’

She looks around at everyone, they hurried away.

‘Where should we talk about it, you left the palace, you went away for two days, and didn’t come to the hospital either. You have changed a lot. Your’t not working, you have become  a bad person, you have become part of those people who are absorbed within the mosquito’s net (I don’t know what that means). You secretly took your kept woman to the shores. Instead of another place, you took her to your family’s house in Hua Hin, that is most damaging and sinful thing ever.’–I have to admit my translation sucks. I understand it but can’t pick up the words to translate it better.

Khun Chai Pat:’It’s not like that! Nothing damaging one’s reputation  happened.’

Maratree:’You took a beautiful city woman after the ball to the ocean by yourselves at night. But nothing happened? Then why did you take her? Did you go take her to shot birds and catch fishes or what?’–Maybe.

Khun Chai Pat:’Maratree you are an aristocrat, don’t talk like a sharp-tongued woman.’

Maratree:’A sharp-tongued woman is better than being a shameful woman who entices with her thighs to auction herself off.’

He told her to shut up. ‘I am not talking to you anymore. You don’t care about the truth, you just want to yell at the other person.’–True.

He walks away, she tries to follow after him. Dr.Yotsawin blocks her way. He is trying to save the reputation of the hospital. They don’t want to hear arguments by their caregivers.

Dr.Yotsawin tells Maratree to let it go. She is a beautiful woman, find someone new she would be happier. Then she informs him the woman Khun Chai Pat took to the beach was Krong Kaew, the woman he likes too.

He doesn’t believe it. Kaew and Khun Chai Pat are not those type of people. She throws it back at him. ‘How does it feel? You have been giving lessons always now it’s your turn to experience it. Krong Kaew, your goddess, your angel is really an enthusiastic woman, easy, worthless, and shameless.’

Dr.Yotsawin:’Don’t slander her name like that?’

Maratree:’Are you troubled? Upset?  Disappointed? It can be easy fix if you change your mind, stop loving, stop hoping for that woman only pretty in pictures blowing stinky kisses to everyone that’s all. It’s easy…easy.’

Maratree continues to go off about Khun Chai Pat changing, not caring about his responsibilities and urged Dr. Yotsawin to accept the ugly reality.

It’s a dream, Khun Chai Pat getting shot by Glai-Lerk.

It’s Kaew greatest fear and her nightmare.

She woke up to find him looking down at her and she immediately embraced him.

Khun Chai Pat:’Kaew…Don’t cry my good person. I won’t go anywhere anymore.’-ahhhh.

She realizes she is touching him, she releases him and apologizes.

He is baffled by her apology. ‘Why are you apologizing?’

‘For hugging you, I forgot myself. I was happy, I didn’t think you would return.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Why wouldn’t I return?’

Kaew:’I was afraid something bad had happened to you and the people from your palace probably don’t want you to lose your reputation.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Kaew, no one can block me. If a person like me is determined to do something, there is no obstacle.’–he one confident mother…

Kaew:’Really?’

Khun Chai Pat:’What do you mean really? Wait you don’t trust me? You thought I was lying?

Kaew:’No. I thought you were just comforting me or possibly deluding yourself. Like when you were hobbling to deliver the baby, you were not sure if you could do it. But you exerted your confidence to make everyone be at ease. Khun Chai ka, sometimes certain problems, you have to accept reality.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Reality? Fine! I will show you what reality is.’

He orders her to go wash her face and get dress. They are leaving.

Kaew:’so it is time for me to leave now.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Don’t ask, just go get ready. Be quick about it too.’—man, this guy so forceful.

She thinks he is abandoning her and packs all her belongings.

Outside he asked her:’Why are you taking all your belongings?’

Kaew:’I thought we are returning….’

Khun Chai Pat:’Returning where?’

He ordered the housekeeper to take Kaew’s belonging back to the house.

Kaew:’But those are my things and the evening gown, I was thinking about getting it dry cleaned and returning it to you because I know it was very expensive.’

He is pissed off and she doesn’t understand why. ‘Don’t say anything to make me more upset than this. Don’t talk as if we don’t know each other, as if you don’t know me.’

He drags her into the car. ‘Where are we going,’ she asked.

Khun Chai Pat:’We are going to go do something  that will eradicate all our obstacles.’

He takes her to the courthouse to get marry.

Khun Chai Pat:’Get out of the car.’

Kaew:’What are we doing here?’

Khun Chai Pat:’There were a lot of things that happened to you and also to me.’

Kaew:’really? What happened to you?’

Khun Chai Pat:’You don’t need to know.’—I loved it when he said that. It was very overly confident.

Kaew:’You need to tell me if what happened to you is because of me.’

Khun Chai Pat:’There is no need.’

Kaew:’When it was your turn, you accused me of not trusting you. Now you are hiding things from me which means you don’t trust me either.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Kaew, I just don’t want you to think too much of it. Just this you are thinking about leaving me and facing everything on your own.’–awww.

Kaew:’Because I don’t have to right to cause problems for a good person with a good life.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Kaew, you left me can you make it?’

Kaew:’Make it or not, I will fight to my death.’

Khun Chai Pat:’If I let you go in fear of trouble, do you think it would be suitable for me to call myself a man?’

She doesn’t answer him and looks up at the building. ‘What are we doing here?’

She is stunned they going to sign a marriage license, he looks at her ‘don’t we love each other Kaew?’–ha.

It’s a bittersweet win for Nadech as people are debating whether he should have won or not at Pantip and even at Sanook, it should have gone to ‘Porche’ Saran Siriluksana for his highly popular lakorn ‘Yok Luerd Mungkorn’ on Ch7 or even to Aum Atichart for his leading role in the historical Thai lakorn ‘Khun Seuk’ on Ch3 by TV Scene productions. Personally, I did not watch either of those lakorns I can’t make a comparison. I did however watch ‘Torranee Nee Krai Krong’ with Nadech and Yaya, I thought Nadech did well. Besides the whole Pinky and Tanya issue, this seems to be a hot topic. Some argued the Nataraja awards is not voted by popular vote it’s voted like the Oscars by people who work in the industry. Maybe they saw something in Nadech that a normal viewer might not have seen.

The 4th annual Nataraja Awards 2012 took place today at the Royal Thai Navy Convention Hall in Bangkok, it aired live a few hours ago on Modern 9 TV. Channel 3 like always dominated the award show, winning nearly every category.

The ladies of the Sixth Sense

After thanking the script writer, the producer, CH3 for her award, she thanked her husband and it got a lot of cheers, embarrassing Pinky Savika in the process who was also in the audience with her new boyfriend Paul.

”The last person, I REALLY have to thank my husband ka. My husband P’Peck who made me reach the emotions of Nopnapa consequently making me feel like a real mia luang (head wife) ka,’ said Tanya up on stage.

It’s saying you cheated on me with Pinky Savika and it helped my acting with a crazed character in Nopnapa who is also being cheated on repeatedly in the lakorn ‘Rang Ngao’. Ouch.

There have been some post on Pantip on how it was inappropriate and Tanya doesn’t know when to stop. You can watch her thank you speech clip at youtube, her thank you message to her husband starts around the 3:50 time mark.

Usually I don’t notice  a lot of things, this I noticed–a ‘Domo’ themed backpack near the end of episode 8 of Khun Chai Puttipat. They are at the market to buy food and they are arguing, she is thinking about starting up a shop selling appetizers and sweets in Ayutthaya and he is annoyed she is planning to leave him.

Khun Chai Pat:’Why are you always thinking about leaving me?’

He walks away and she follows him.

Kaew:’I must be able to raise myself up. I can’t disturb other people from now on.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Who are these other people?’

Kaew utters his name and in the backdrop there are backpacks hanging in a nearby shop, most notably a ‘Domo’ themed backpack. This is annoyed some Thai viewers who complained on Pantip that the Director was careless and this is a period lakorn set in 1961 (2504), why is there a Domo themed backpack when the Domo short-motion animation character was created in 1998 by Japan’s NHK television station. Some found it funny like  this Thai viewer:’5555 (meaning Ha ha ha), my mom found it really funny like huh back then they had Domo too?’ Or this, ‘I didn’t see it because I was too focus on Khun Chai Puttipat.’

Other people started to complain about other details in the lakorn such as the purse (I don’t know which one they are talking about) they didn’t have it back then, Khun Chai Pat’s surgery instruments, his surgery technique,  no blood, guy villain Glai-Lerk (played by DJ Man)’s fixed perfect teeth. ‘Whenever he talks I would notice DJ Man’s arranged teeth,’ wrote a observant Thai viewer on Pantip. And I thought wow, these people watch lakorn in such detail and I was proud I noticed one flaw in the series. One point for me–Oh yea!

Some found it distracting, I think most still like the lakorn and are still ‘in’ to the Khun Chai Puttipat and Krong Kaew pair.

Back to the scene.

Khun Chai Pat:’What are we? Answer me what are we?’

Kaew struggles to answer him. ‘It’s just…’

Khun Chai Pat:’Just a marriage license that makes us husband and wife.’

Kaew:’I will quickly sign the divorce papers as soon as possible. I won’t postpone or delay the process at all.’

Khun Chai Pat:’So you really want to leave me as soon as possible.’–awww she doesn’t.

Kaew:’It’s not like that.’

Khun Chai Pat:”Then what do you want?’

Kaew:’You have done a lot for me. You have sacrifice yourself to protect me from danger. You are also caring for my father. I have always been the one who is receiving. I am taking an advantage of you. The thing I want to tell you is that I want to build myself up to have a foundation, to have dignity, to have everything better than what I have now. When that time comes, I want to repay you back.’

Khun Chai Pat playfully:’You are the most conceited and arrogant woman ever.’

Kaew:’A person must stand on their own two feet, they must be beneficial to other people, they can’t just depend on other people forever.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Every word you say is ‘other’ people. Have you  never heard a husband and wife is one person according to the law.’

Kaew:’You keep saying that again.’

Khun Chai Pat:’Because it is the truth.’

He holds up his jade necklace from her neck. ‘Look at this, you are wearing my mother’s jade necklace which was intended to give to her daughter-in-law. Like this, how can we be other people to each other. Most importantly everything I have done is the responsibility of a husband.’

He holds her shoulders and stared into her eyes. ‘Your responsibility is to speak sweetly, act gentle, play the part well.  Don’t forget, the hoodlums are after you, they looking for an opportunity to harm us at every minute. For that reason, you have to make them believe we have something going on. Do you understand me?’

AHH…Fangirl moment.

That SHE is number 1 and he is number 10.

It was her birthday and everyone on the set of her lakorn with Por Thrisadee is avoiding her, teasing her that she is no longer the darling of the set–a woman who was playing with Yaya said James Jirayu is. In retaliation, Yaya looked at the camera and sent this message to James Jirayu in a cutesy manner:”To nong Jirayu I am #1, you are #10.’ The message has caught the attention of many lakorn fans.

Producer  ‘Ja’ Yossinee Nanakorn joked on her IG this past Thursday May 16, 2013 that ‘Linping (a playful nickname for Yaya after the Panda in captivity) has changed channels. Everyone was crowding around Yaya for her lakorn fitting then James Jirayu came out of the elevator suddenly all of the cameras turned to him. Linping has fallen wrote Khun Ya (meaning Yaya is no longer popular). Yaya went around saying if she dressed up like a boy she would more handsome.

It has become the ‘cute’ feud of the week–Yaya playfully getting jealous of James’ popularity.

James and Yaya have very similar characteristic both are EXTREMELY playful and act ‘immature’ at times. Thai lakorn fans want to see a James and Yaya pairing in a lakorn directed by Paa Jaew because they want to be amuse in seeing James and Yaya compete for the attention of everyone on set.

Yaya sends the message to James in the clip at the 1:11 time mark.

Though fans talk of a playful feud between the two popular young stars, the two seem to like each other very much. James secretly crawled on his knees to watch Yaya’s lakorn fitting. Yaya personally praised James on his acting. ’I am watching your lakorn na. Your acting is really good and you have a good voice,’ she told him upfront which made him smile.

Here he is on his knees at Yaya’s ftting.

I don’t remember where I read this, Sanook or Kapook, some people were dubbing James Jirayu as Nadech  Kugimiya’s downfall. Someone wrote this, James Jirayu was born solely to kill (not literally, career wise) Nadech.

Then there is this clip of James being a normal 19 year old posting a comment on socialcam he wants to learn how to play ‘HON-Heroes of Newerth’ and you realize he is JUST a kid. Clip taken on December 12, 2012.

What he said in the clip at Mthai Games:’Hello during the evening of the 10th. I have been failing at this since this morning. I don’t understand it. The thing I don’t understand is how do you play this program?’

Another James tidbit:

Paa Jaew, the director of ‘Khun Chai Puttipat’ wrote this recently on his IG about James:’A star is born …… Born to be a star……… But better than that is being a simple actor name @jirayu_jj …Love to see you grow up smarter and stronger.’

This explanation was given by Khun Pran Pramoon (real name Thipdhida Satdhathip) the famous script writer for ‘Khun Chai Puttipat’, ‘Sawan Biang’, ‘Malai Saam Chai’ and several notable Thai lakorns–she wrote on her personal facebook account: James and his personal manager are not aiming to seize for a short period, they are aiming to be the real thing in the entertainment industry for a long time and to develop themselves to stay permanently–to be courteous, modest, and to do their best. They will NOT be greedy, to seize, but they will create. This sound so romantic, lets hope they can do it. Sometimes the most noblest intentions are the hardest to keep. We’ll see.

Some do like this approach citing they see a particular star everywhere from their visit to the 7-eleven, it is coming too much. Another point is that stars do events, do commercials to maintain the attention of the public. Once the lakorn ends, people will spot cheering and gravitate towards a new thing and lose their interest for a particular star– the theory is you have to keep making appearances to stay popular.

I think it is a good thing — there should be a balance. He should stay away from events period, that is where they get you with those rumor questions. If you don’t go, nothing is written about you.

James bowing down to the host of the Tonight Show to thank him for arranging their schedule to have Bella and him appear on the show in such a haste. Also, James was given advice and praises to his personal manager Pik by the host, James thanked him with a bow for that too. Thai netizens praised James for the bow, saying he was a good kid who was raised well with respect.

The second pic is James with his personal manager.

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.

Teaser for the MV

Audio of the song ‘Ja Ruk Jon Gwa Ja Roo’

LYRICS:

Like just the wind blowing by
Like the dwindling fog
That touches you and fades away

Like the dim candle light
Not warm like a bonfire
Though you can’t see, I will do it for you

This love, when will I surrender
I will answer, I have never thought about it.

I just know I love you, love you even before you know
Will you accept it, I don’t know. But I will stay to let you know…
In this world there is no one I will love
With all my heart, as much as I love you…

Others have said it was useless, I feel it was precious
Though there is no hope, there is still good wishes in my heart

This love when will I surrender
I will answer, I have never thought about it.

I just know I love you, love you even before you know
Will you accept it, I don’t know. But I will stay to let you know…
In this world there is no one I will love
With all my heart, as much as I love you…

No matter how dark tomorrow night will be
Though it will be morning soon, the stars gradually fading away
I ask to be your last star

I just know I love you, love you even before you know
Will you accept it, I don’t know. But I will stay to let you know…
In this world there is no one I will love
With all my heart, as much as I love you…

James and his co-star Bella Ranee Campen made an appearance on The Tonight Show on Ch3 which aired today, both said they were astounded by their appearance  in the lakorn Khun Chai Puttipat, they reacted like fan girls when they saw themselves onscreen. Bella said she never saw herself look in that way–a young poor girl with pigtails.

When they first met, Bella thought James looked very young, in the series he is suppose to be older than her by 10 + years and he just simply thought she was pretty. ‘I saw her and my heart started pounding,’ said James about Bella.

The role was difficult for him since he is described by his co-star as a monkey gentleman for his hyper personality a big contrast from his character Khun Chai Puttipat who is calm and mature. Though COMPLETELY different from who he is, he had to make it believable. Bella’s obstacle was cooking, her character Krong Kaew is a phenomenal cook, Bella had to learn how to hold a knife and learn about domestic duties of a woman.

This clip is a must watch, they contain scenes from the series–the marriage bed scene, the water canal scene.
