For some reason, I rarely watch evening lakorns. Actually I do have a valid reason as to why, because it’s daily (meaning Monday-Friday), nothing ever happens in just one episode. They span it out, they pucker up on Monday and actually do the thumb kiss on Friday. You have to wait and wait until something major happens and each episode is like a filler episode. It’s better just to wait until it finishes and watch it all at once.
Oddly“Look Sao Gamnan (The Village Chief’s daughter)” seems worth the torture. It’s a musical lakorn with actual singer/actors playing the lead roles. Actor Tui, who is playing the male lead role (pra’ek) started out as the winner of the Academy Fantasia reality/singing talent show, 3rd season. Top Nuttanan is a singer and is also known as “Top: the singer”, part of the Ch3 singing contest show. Apaporn Nakornsawan is a famous Lookthung singer, she sang the “Plump Shape” song in “Mae Ka Kanom Wan (Dessert Girl)” in episode 1.They are all decent actors with exceptional singing skills. Another major seller for “Look Sao Gamnan” is the return of Warut Worraantum (veteran actor from “Koo Gum ( ill fated lovers)”, the movie with Jintara Sukkapat) to lakorns. I don’t know about you, it’s a buy for me.
Essentially the plot of “Look Sao Gamnan” centers around a philandering Village Chief of Tung Din Dum, Danai (Warut) and his meddling and tomboyish daughter Tangmoe (Namfon). She wants him to settle down with a decent woman, Yoopin (Mayuree) but he wants to mess around with Wantha (Ning), a local shop owner in their town. Gamnan Danai prays for someone to save him from his meddling daughter and soon after we see the arrival of Deputy Chaiya (Tui) to Tung Din Dum. Deputy Chaiya instantly falls in love with Tangmoe when she beats up him up over a misunderstanding the first time they met. The rest of the story follows the struggles of Deputy Chaiya in trying to win over Tangmoe’s heart.
“Look Sao Gamnan” is set to premier on February 25, 2009, it’s a daily 30 minute lakorn starting at 7:15pm Thailand time every Monday-Friday.
