I love Nuna’s dress, it’s pixie, it’s cute, it’s pink, it’s suits her.

At the event, “Nuna” Neungthida Sophon lead actress in “Hello Stranger (Kuan Meun Ho)” and winner of the Best Actress award at the event cried up on stage. Ploy Chermarn cried too, not because she lost to Nuna in the Best Actress category, she cried out of shock because her film “Chua Fah Din Salai (Eternity)” won for Best Picture. ?? Okay. Emotional much?

“I was shocked when the film received the award because the crew and all the actors were exhausted by this film and especially when my teacher who is Mom Noi (the director of Eternity) went up to accept the award, I was very glad,” Ploy Chermarn explaining why she cried at the event.

Today not only did you come with Tar (Navin Yaowapalakul, Ploy’s bf) you brought your mother too, did you secretly have expectations this award (the best actress award), reporters asked Ploy.

Ploy said Tar being there or not, it didn’t matter;  Tar comes to these types of events with her often anyways. “If I don’t get that is fine because P’Tar comes to all my events. I’m very happy for Nuna who received this award. Up on stage, I even congratulated her. I don’t feel upset about it, I was delighted.”

The event was held at Central Pattana shopping center in Pattaya today. The special awards went to producers Charoen Iamphungporn from Five Star productions and “Sia Jiang” Somsak Techaratanaprasert from Sahamongkol Films productions.

Premier: Soo Saeng Tawan


In a few hours, “Soo Saeng Tawan (“Reaching for the Sunlight”) will premier on Ch7, taking up the Monday-Tuesday time lot and replacing Por and Noon’s lakon “Kom Faek” and I must say it has one of the most diabolical pra’eks out there.

As I was reading the synopsis, I thought my god he is like a prisoner from death row, “my mother abandon me and I came from an abusive foster care system, so I decided to shot everyone down to vent out my frustration on society and my mother.” Wow.

Pra’ek shouldn’t even be called pra’ek when he is running around sniper shooting everyone and trying to kill his mother, who abandoned him as a baby. Pra’ek also tries to kill his younger half-brother by causing him to go under a major asthma attack, his brother is asthmatic and he used it against him. Dude is crazy. He spends his every waking hour strategizing for ways to destroy his mother’s life and career and also the people around her. Crazy.

I think we should come up with a new vocab for this type of pra’ek. They should be known as pra’ek rai, meaning “villain leading man”. Or do you like “pra’ek ba”, crazy leading man.

Pra’ek lai is played by Tle Thanapol and nang’ek is played by Pancake Khemmanid.

Supporting cast includes:

Aof Chanapol as Chongon, pra’ek’s half brother
Jakajan Akumsiri as Rawee, servant girl in Nafah’s household.
Chadaporn Rattanakorn as Nafah, pra’ek’s mother

What’s going on here? I don’t know. Looks entertaining though.

Pictures of the crew goofing off during their break. Tubbytinker, Sarnworld member, found the pictures at Pantip forum.

Tle doesn’t look that bad.
