Wiwa Wa Woon pays homage to “Notting Hill”

I have not paid much attention to Ken and Chompoo’s lakorn “Wiwa Wa Woon (Chaotic Wedding)”, the ending did catch my eye. In case you didn’t know, it ended today with a proposal and someone getting shot and the villain going to jail. It’s a lakorn someone is bound to get shot by the end. It’s how it done. Don’t mess with the formula. Obviously in this case, they didn’t.

For the ending of “Wiwa Wa Woon (Chaotic Wedding)”, they did an homage to Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts’ romantic comedy “Notting Hill” from 1999.

The ending to “Notting Hill” the movie–he is reading a book, she has her head resting on his lap, they are holding hands blissfully on the bench in the park. Kids are running around, other people are enjoying the park as well. Most importantly, she is very pregnant.

Ken Theeradeth returns to action

Ken Theeradeth returns to action lakorns in “Rahat Torachon (Code of the Outlaws)” for Yuma productions. His nang’ek is  “Chompoo” Araya Haget, it’s their second time being paired. Their first lakorn together, a romantic comedy, “Wiwa Wa Woon (Chaotic Wedding or Confusing Wedding)” is currently on air and doing quite well, beating the competition. Filming for this lakorn will begin sometime in mid-June, today they had the fitting. Usually in action lakorns, pra’ek (the lead guy) is a cop. For this lakorn, it’s no different. Ken will be playing a police officer, a bodyguard to the prime minister. Tah Warit is in here too, as the prime minister’s son.

As Ken was describing his character, he’s playing a police officer, Chompoo then looked at him and jokingly asked: “Really, you’re playing a police officer?” Ken, then looked down at his outfit and teased her: “I’m a police officer. What? Do you think I look like a messenger?” Chompoo laughed and explained herself, “I thought you were one of those Kpop people or things of that sort.” Ken started laughing because she was teasing him that he looked liked a Korean boyband member.

Both said they plan to go exercising to build up their strength. Chompoo said that when she was holding the gun, her hands were shaking because it was heavy. She needs to build up her strength. In the lakorn, Chompoo will be portraying a girl assassin.

Prayer/Opening ceremony pictures for “365 days of love”

Prayer/opening ceremony for Ken and Anne’s lakorn “365 Wan Haeng Ruk (365 days of love)”, because I’m lazy, you can read the plot line for the lakorn here.

Usually, the prayer/opening ceremony takes place before filming begins, but in this case, filming has been in production for a while now. They did it in reverse.

Ken explaining the lakorn in the video clip, “For this series, I’ll be more mature, an adult. Their love is like soulmates, they will live together like a couple. Problems will arise like what married couples have to face.”

Anne:”I can’t explain it, it’s kinda like reality. She (her character) has a family that is dysfunctional, not very happy. Thus it makes her insincere about her relationship with her boyfriend. She fears he will cheat on her. She is exaggerating the whole thing, in reality, she has a good husband. But lack of trust complicates her life.”

Ken or Tik, who is the better actor?

http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/1893/a903377818.jpg

Thai netizens want to know who is the better actor Ken and Tik, so they posted up a poll with 4 choices. Obviously the first two choices were for either Ken or Tik. The third choice got me laughing: I don’t know, the only think I know is, ‘though they have wives, I still want them. To be their (mia noi) mistress, I can accept that.’–wow, these women are freaking crazy. The last choice, I think it a good idea, “they should act together in just one series for us to find out.” They should, I would want to see Ken and Tik in a lakorn together. Double pra’ek, they can play brothers, though they look nothing alike. Foster brothers, half brothers, sworn enemies turn best buds, those are some possible roles for them, if they were to be in a lakorn together. Just a thought.

At the moment, Tik is leading in the poll, but not by much the last time I checked. Fans are conflicted, both have their good points. Ken is handsome, one person wrote, but she can’t get over Tik’s soothing voice. In the end, she chose Tik.

From another Thai netizen: appearance wise, Ken can’t compare to Tik. But Ken’s personality, his acting is superior. Ken has a level of charm that is more likable than Tik. Also, Ken is cautious about his image, he doesn’t have a lot of scandals.

There were many comments, the one that got my attention minus the last pervert two (comment 35 and 36) was the comment about Ken being more natural then Tik. It was comment 4, I believe. Tik has the pra’ek look, he is the embodiment of what a Thai pra’ek should look like. According to the person who wrote this, it’s not natural. Tik appears pretentious. He is a form. Ken, other the hand, is more natural. He acts well, he is able to embody the mood of his characters, he plays his roles with calm, it’s profound. He doesn’t over-act. But one problem, Tik is just better looking than Ken. Burn! Wow.

Personally, I like them both, they have their own style. You can’t compare the two.
