Boy Pakorn is the most huggable guy for Sudsapda magazine

 

Top: Kao, Ter, Nadech, and Pong. Bottom: Pope, Boy, Dome, and Mark

By popular vote for Sudsapda magazine at their website and facebook account, the ranking of the 20 most huggable Thai guys of 2011. ‘Roi Marn (Trace of the Devil)’ star Boy Pakorn is ranked number 1 and ‘Ter’ Chantavit Dhanasevi came in last. I would agree, Boy did give one of the best hug and confession scene in  lakorn history in Roi Marn episode 13. It’s one of those scenes, you’ll remember for a long time.

He knocks on her door, she opens it terrified, not knowing who was there. On the other end, it’s him with a drained, exhausted face. He slowly walks towards her and wrapped his arm around her body.

‘I have something to tell you,’ he says. ‘Before we get a divorce tomorrow.’ He takes a pause. ‘I think…I think I am secretly in love with you. I don’t want it to be like this. I don’t want to get a divorce, but I don’t know what to do.”

He tears up quietly and so does she. Next big whopper question, ‘can I say with you tonight?’ AH.

‘Please don’t chase me away.’

She embraces him back  tighter and they wept in each others’ arms. Their relationship was twisted by family debt and obligations. Their marriage was a force one and her cousin was a jealousy B. From the beginning it was not meant to be easy.

Best and Worst dressed at the Nataraja Awards 2011

There is a reason for this post, I wanted to mock that actress who dressed like a Christmas tree and thought she was hot. She wore this bright, BIG green dress and wore red Dorothy shoes. It was wrong in so many levels–COLOR, FORM, Style. ER! Don’t do that. Green and Red together, worst combination of colors EVER!

2nd Annual Nataraja Awards 2011

The Nataraja Awards 2011 just finished airing a few hours ago on Ch5. Everyone looked great, BEAUTIFUL. No one was lip-synching when they had to sing the nominated best lakorn songs. Singers from the Star franchise, KPN franchise, and selected AF kids were grouped together to sing the songs. It was a live performance that bedazzled me, it was like a mini concert with all these talented young Thai singers.  I was blown away.

The duet between Gam and Patcha for the song “Pler Ruk Mot Jai (Absent-minded Love)” from the lakorn “Dok Ruk Rim Tang (Roadside Love Flower)” was one of the highlights of the show.

Though the show was beautifully orchestrated, it was a little off , Ploy Chermarn was not there to accept her Best Actress award for the lakorn ‘Rabam Duang Dao (The Star Dance)’, Ken Theeradeth had to awkwardly accept the award on her behalf. Ken presented the nominees and named the winner Ploy Chermarn but she never came up. There was an odd pause where Ken stood to the side waiting for Ploy to come up. Then he realizes she is not coming, so he had to accept the award on her behalf with a chuckle.  There is a whole discussion about this at Pantip. The first annual Nataraja Awards was amazing–this year,  some complained it lacked ‘ dara spirit’ because some of the nominees did not attend. ‘Chai’ Chatayodom Hiranyatsathiti and Ploy Chermarn won but did  not attend. “Aff” Taksaorn Paksukcharean and “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea who were nominated in the Best Actress category did not attend, it was quite noticeable too. For the Best Supporting Actor award, only one nominee was present, Puri Hiranpruk. It was really off.

Ken accepting Ploy’s award starts around the 5:20 time mark.

Winners in the lakorn category:

Best song: “Hai Ruk Dern Tang Mah Jer Gan (Let love met)” from the 4 Hearts of Khun Kao Yai Ch3

Two gets a MV

Two? Do you mean the number 2? No, the Thai singer, his name is Two Popetorn Soonthornyanakij from Sony Music. He has a new single out, titled “please don’t feel sorry for me (Prot Yaa Maa Songsan, โปรดอย่ามาสงสาร)”. This song is my current addiction, the first time I heard it (roughly 2 weeks ago), I had it on instant replay for the whole day, it was that good. The song narrates a failed relationship, he wants her back, and she still calls him because she feels pity and regret. However, he doesn’t want her pity, if she is not coming back, he wants to move on.

MV

Don’t get me wrong I love the song; however, seeing him in the MV, he doesn’t give me the ‘wow’ factor. The video is average, the performance in it is average. I have seen his LIVE performances on youtube, there is something missing there also.

I fear the quality of the song comes from studio magic rather than the singer himself ,now that is troubling. Then again, I could be totally off base, the video quality on youtube were downright awful.

Actress Ice Apissada is the MV nang’ek.
