After the conclusion of “Sao Chai Hi-Tech (Hi-tech Maidservant)” is “Theppha But Maya, Theppha Jamlaeng (the God of Deception and the Goddess of Disguises)”, a series reuniting “Kwan” Usamanee Waitayanon and Tawin Yaowapalakul to the small screen. It’s a romantic comedy centering around an arrange marriage between a playboy and a country gal. I know, it’s like an overuse plotline. If he wants his 3 billion baht (97 million USD) inheritance, he has to marry a woman his father has chosen and she happens to be our nang’ek. Though they are betrothed, she wants to test his love by disguising herself as a spunky servant girl, a beautiful rich woman, and a woman with a scarred face.
“The God of Deception and the Goddess of Disguises” will air two weeks from now on September 24 on Ch7.
So soon. Their lakorn ‘Hong Fah” did so well, audiences wanted them paired again ASAP, they got their wish. “Kwan” Usamanee Waitayanon and Tle Thanapol are in reuniting in “Plerng Phrom”, most likely a lakorn about wealth and fighting over a guy. And look, their super nang’rai is played by “Cheer” Tikumporn Ritthapinan–gosh yowser, with all that make-up she looks like a tranny. E! Make-up people, lay off the foundation. You live in Thailand, their faces might melt off, now wouldn’t that be scary? The sight of it…ee!
Former Miss Teen Thailand 2002, Cheers feels excited about her first nang’rai role.
“I feel very excited that I’m going to be playing an extreme role like this. You will clearly know what type of character I am by my make-up, dress, behavior, and other various things. I have never thought I would be playing a role like this ever. It’s very different from who I am.”
Cheer has chosen to take on a nang’rai for the challenge–she won’t be ‘rai’ as commonly seen in lakorns. She will be more emotionally evil?
Kwan and her fake long nails, quite scary. More pictures here.
One of the worst and overuse plotline in lakorn history would have to be the ‘twin’ separated at birth scenario, usually one twin is meek while the other is bold. Twin lakorns just annoy the living heck out of me, like can they not find anything better to do a lakorn about? It lacks originality and I get bored quite easily. So Kwan’s new lakorn is a ‘twin’ lakorn, yeppers and yawns, she is playing a twin. And guess what, one twin is weak and the other is bold and they don’t know they are twins. What a shocker! Where have we seen this before? I could name MORE than a few. At least twice a year, there is a twin lakorn.
Kwan’s first twin lakorn is titled “Liam Ruk (Side of Love or Angle of Love, เหลี่ยมรัก)”, it will premier after Stefan and Jui’s lakorn “The Code of Hell” on December 24, 2009. Kwan’s two characters are Panisa (aka Tawan) and Palita (aka Fah), two twin girls separated at an early age by their father Vipoo (‘Dilok’ Thong Wattana) and mother KaeKai (Rungthong Ruamthong). The twin’s maternal grandmother disapproved of their mother and used every method to get rid of her and she eventually succeeded. When the twins were very young, KaeKai left Vipoo and took her eldest daughter Tawan to live in Chiangmai. Fah stayed in Bangkok and was raised by her father Vipoo. Because she lived closer to her paternal grandmother who hated her mother, Fah is the docile one while Tawan who lived a normal life in Chiangmai is the outspoken and bold one.
Twenty years later when Tawan graduated from school and moved to Bangkok to find work, she randomly met Fah on several occasion and eventually learned that Fah was her twin sister. That always happens. Soon after learning about her ‘other’ family, Vipoo asked Tawan if she wanted to come live with them at their mansion. Knowing what her paternal grandmother did to her mother, Tawan moves in with the intention of getting revenge on the behalf of her mother.
Vee Veeraparb is the pra’ek in this lakorn and Tawan’s brother-in-law. From what I can tell from the teaser, Fah is forced to marry Vee’s brother and on several occasion, Tawan pretends to be Fah.
I think I need to find the longer summary to understand the story better.

TEASER:
The teaser was pretty saucy, maybe I’ll give it a try.
