The uptight brother is awesome in “Stairs to Love”

The character Tian (played by Om Akapan) in “Bandai Dok Ruk (Stairs to love)” is an immature playboy, honestly I do not like this character– he has a posse of women, he drunk drove into a ditch, and he accidentally disrobed a piece of  Kachao (Min Pechaya)’s traditional Thai dress, partially exposing her bosom at the festival beauty pageant because he wanted to borrow her cellphone. He was a little drunk (majorly drunk) at the time, but still, dude, I do not like you. Today was Tian’s day, he took up nearly 80% of the first episode until his twin brother Thup (always played by Om Akapan) made his appearance near the end. What a relief. This brother is much better, I just have a low tolerance for immature men.

The first time Kachao (Min) met Tian, he was drunk and muddy because he just drove his car into a ditch. They were at a local festival (carnival) where she was competing in a beauty pageant, the title of Miss Somo (Miss Pomelo). She won and he was wandering around asking people to use their cellphone to call home. Because of his muddy, dirty appearance, no one would lend him their cellphone to use.

When he saw Kachao from a distance picking up a call, he walked towards her and pointed drunkenly: “Pretty lady, can I use your phone?” Just as he is about to reach her, he trips and lands on top of her. She was not happy about that and accused him of attacking her. Time to hit this guy with her beauty pageant trophy, to which she did. It was a mess–he got smack and hit big time. When she was walking away, he had to hold on to the scarf part of her dress and spun her around, disrobing her outfit. Nice move guy.

Their first meeting was not great, there second meeting wasn’t great either. She smacked him with a broom and accused him of stalking her. After that, he was just smitten with her feistiness. This guy ain’t right.

When he wanted to introduce himself, she told him she didn’t care. “I don’t want to know who you are, what kind of work you do, what position you in,” she shouted at him.

When he tried to introduced himself again, she told him to just stop.  “You can’t talk, you can only listen!! I know I’m pretty and you probably want to flirt with me. But I don’t care about you one bit, for that reason, stay far away from me.”—it’s funny how her arrogance is the thing that attracts him.

She throws the broom at him and left.

When she learned who he was and that he was her boss and that he is rich, she was embarassed. I guess he is not so dirty after all.

Fast-forward to the end, Tian is hardcore smitten with Kachao, he told his parents that he has found a girl who didn’t care about his money (he doesn’t even know her yet), he is sincere about her, and he even threw out the word ‘marriage’. His parents were skeptical, they know their son well, he’s silly and not so bright. He has a 3 women entourage following him around to clubs and various places because dude is good-looking and has money. He’s a playboy. At the club, women swarm around him trying to get his attention. The women he attracts, all gold-diggers.

At one point, his mother told him: “I have told you several times, no woman will love you sincerely, they only love your money. When I declared I was going to cut you off the inheritance, they were turned off.” Stupidly he said he still has his looks. “They might be interested in my looks instead of my money,” he told his mother. Oy this guy.

His parents are skeptical so they sent out his twin brother Thup to deal with him and figure out his new love interest.

Min Pechaya will fall for the uptight brother in “Stairs to Love”

The premise of “Bandai Dok Ruk (Stairs to love)” is rather silly, the main female character “Kachao” played by ‘Min’ Pechaya Wattanamontree is preconditioned by her mother Juangjit to aim high and marry a rich man because her husband Chitchai (Kachao’s father) left her for a wealthy woman who owns a fruit market. Kachao’s mother is a bitter woman and a drunk, who has trained her only daughter to care about one thing, to find a rich man, then marry him in order to raise their family’s status above that of Chitchai’s new rich wife Jay Pintong. You can say nang’ek’s mother has an inferiority complex towards her ex-husband’s new wife. When her husband left her, she turned to alcohol for solace and started training her daughter to aim ‘high’ for a rich husband. Kachao supports this goal too because she hates her stepmother Jay Pintong passionately for flaunting her wealth and for taunting her mother by bringing her father around. Her goal in life is to get rich by marrying a rich husband because she knows with her talents it is hopeless to get rich by finding a job and working hard for herself.

Kachao’s ‘target’ is Tian (Om Akapan), a good looking guy from a wealthy family. His family lives in Bangkok and owns an Orchid flower farm. Tian is a good guy, a man who likes to have fun, and he is somewhat of a player.  In the summary, his character is described a guy who changes women as often as he changes his underwear. Well, that’s not good. Nonetheless, Tian is Kachao’s target.

Tian has an uptight businessman brother named Thup. The brothers don’t get along, Tian resents Thup for the pride of their parents and for being awesome at everything.  Thup is kinda annoyed with Tian’s care-free style, Tian cares more about having fun than work. When Kachao comes along to trap Tian, Thup becomes her obstacle because between Tian and him, he is just smarter.

As he uses himself as a physical barrier between Tian and Kachao, Thup starts to fall for this silly woman whose only dream is to marry a rich man and she falls for him too. Lets face it, between a sincere responsibility man and a silly man-child, who would you choose?

“Bandai Dok Ruk (Stairs to love)” is airing this Wednesday February 8, 2011 on Ch7.

Min can only show off her back

Min’s latest IN magazine cover for the month of January 2011.

On the topic of being sexy, Min says she doesn’t want to show too much skin and will only show off her backside. It’s not what you think, it’s the flat landscape of her back not her booty.

“As for taking sexy pictures, I get frequent offers. My most recent photoshoot with IN magazine, it was a little sexy, but not too much. I only showed off my back. I couldn’t show off my front, so I showed off my back because in the front I don’t have any (laughs). I had to be very ‘safe’ about it.  For the outfits, we had to discuss it beforehand…to not have it be sexy na. If the concept is for being sexy, I would ask to have it be the least sexy. To have it be cute, that would be better. My feelings is that I’m still a student. Whatever I do, I have to consider the institute, my parents, and many elders. There are many sides. At my house, they do not prohibit me, they want it to be appropriate (mor som). Like normal, my father is very concern. My mother did tell me to consider what is appropriate with work. To do something that is suitable for my age. Right now, I can only show off my back (laughs),” Min stated during her interview with the media at ’Nina’ Sutita R. Hirunya and ‘Bank’ Pachara Panyayong’ s wedding.

Min did have a discussion with the media about how her recent lakorns are not doing so well compared to to her older work. And the media did ask Min about her feud with ‘Kwan’ Usamanee Waitayanon and that is when I stopped caring. To many real and made-up feuds to care about.

MIn’s inside photospread for IN magazine for their January 2011 issue. Someone did note, she is doing that ‘mouth’ thing like “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea again.

Om Akapan and Min Pechaya’s “Stairs to Love”

From the writer that gave us Silamanee to the production company that gave us “Ruk Nai Marn Mek ( A Cloud of Romance)” comes “Bandai Dok Ruk (Stairs to love)”, a twin romantic comedy starring Om Akapan, ‘Min’ Pechaya Wattanamontree, and Sammie Pantitha Puwijaan. Om is the twin, playing two characters Thup and Tian. Love the name play, Thup means incense and Tian means candle. One is a playboy, the other is a serious business man. Min is Kachao, a girl who is conceited, knows she is pretty, and finds nothing wrong with using her body to find a rich husband. Okay. No, I don’t know when it will air, probably soon since the teaser has been released.
