A week of revelation for Sudkhet and Khun Dee

They are loyal and true, but their significant others have not been. This week, finally, they learned the truth.

Monday’s episode of “Mon Ruk Mae Nam Moon”, supporting pra’ek who will never get the girl Sudkhet played by “Porsche”  Saran Siriluksana learned that the man he thought was dead is still alive. Sudkhet is a lovable spoiled little brat Thai Pop Star, his character is definitely  modeled after Bie Sukrit, not the spoiled little brat part but the cheesy dance moves and catchy pop tunes that is associated with Bie Sukrit. The way he dresses too, it’s obvious.

Sudkhet is in love with Deun played by Jui Warattaya, she is his personal assistant and the daughter of his mother’s best friend from the country. By an angry force kiss by Sudkhet to Deun, they were caught in a scandal by the Thai paparazzi and their kiss was printed across every Thai tabloid news magazine. To save face and Deun’s reputation, their elders decided to have them get engage–a real engagement not a farce one. It was win-win situation for everyone, except Deun. She is in love with another guy, her boyfriend Pin played by “Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros from back home. Deun’s parents disapproved of Pin because he is a poor school teacher from the country.

Rita’s first real on-screen kiss

And I’m like ‘oh’–a real onscreen kiss. Not a big deal. But this is Thailand, so it is. This coming Thursday, Rita Jensen will kiss her co-star Aun Witthaya on the mouth (Oh no, scandalous!) in their lakorn “Lueam Prai Lai Rak (Lustrous Design of Love)” on Ch3. Rita said she felt burden and worried about her first real kiss because this is NOT a normal thing for her. Because her character grew up aboard and kissing is a normal/ acceptable thing there, the director Term Chaninathorn encouraged Rita to do a real kiss.

“At first, I adamantly refuse to do it because camera angles have always been used to help me. So I have never done it realistically. The director had to come to explain to me why it was necessary. We talked for a long time and he asked for one take. In the end, I agreed to do it, because I wanted this project to turn out great and it will be like another development in my acting. So I agreed to do it. And it did take only ‘one take’, ” said Rita

She added that Aun was very much of a gentleman throughout this ordeal.

Nok Chatchai and his four wives

Come on now, another icky lakorn is being remade. Why? I’ll pass on this one also. An older man with multiple wives is just not my cup of tea. “Mongkut Dok Som (The orange blossom crown)” from 1996 is a lakorn about a Thai man of Chinese heritage who has 4 wives ranging from old to young, it is the Thai lakorn version of Zhang Yimou’s acclaimed film, “Raise the red lantern.”

This version will have “Nok” Chatchai Plengpanich be the patriarch of this dysfunctional family. His first wife is played by Jariya Anfone (she is an older woman roughly around her mid 50′s). “Joy” Rilanee Sripen is the beautiful, sassy second wife who is having an affair, I believe in the Thai lakorn and in the film, she is killed off. “Nampueng” Nattharika Thammapreedanan is the third wife. On the surface she appears kind and gentle, really she is cunning and evil. In the original 1996 version, Nampueng was the nang’ek and the third wife. For this version, she is playing the main villain who is the second wife. How ironic. The youngest, the fourth wife, and the nang’ek of this lakorn is played by “Gybzy” Wanida Termthanaporn.

Rita and Aun, will they work?

We’ll find out soon enough. Sirita Jensen and Aun Witthaya from horror lakorn “Saab Poosa (Cursed Fabric)” are paired together for the first time for Broadcast Thai’s upcoming lakorn, “LeumPrai Lai Ruk (Brilliant design of love)”. The lakorn is described as a mystery, crime, romantic comedy with a twist. Rita and Aun are from warring families, like Romeo and Juliet but no one dies. Technically they shoulnd’t be getting along but they did and fell in love.

Rita’s character is going to be very avant-garde, she is a girl from abroad while Aun is the opposite. He is very proper. She will continuously tease him, kinda like Matt Peeranee in “Kuan Kammathep (Cupid Group)” to Tye Nattapol. The suspense aspect of the lakorn will be an assassination attempt on Rita’s life. Groups of people will want her dead because they want her inheritance. Your typical lakorn plot.

Pictures from the opening ceremony, the lakorn started filming yesterday.

Supporting cast: Noon Boonyasak, “Jane” Jensuda Parnto, See San host Beam, and Jaja Pimrada are to name a few.
