Vee and Noon reunite for “Sentai…Salai Soht”

It sounds like the rehash version of William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Schrew” where the main girl must marry first before her younger sister can. It’s a romanatic comedy. The same concept goes for Noon Woranuch and Vee Veeraphap’s upcoming lakorn “Sentai…Salai Soht (A deadline….to end being single)” for Ch7. Noon is playing a woman by the name of “Fah”, she has a younger sister who wants to get marry, but the main rule in their family is that Fah (being the eldest sister) must marry first before her younger sister can. Fah also has a pesting mother who badly wants her to get marry. Her mother even resorts to trickey in order to do so, she lies to Fah that she dying and begged Fah to find a husband within 2 months. For the sake of her ‘ailing’ mother, Fah uses her talent as the head of the creative department in her company to find a husband. You can guess that Vee is playing the guy that Noon must snatch up to marry.

It’s a cute, fun concept.  I have to wonder if Noon can do it, I’m sure she can, but mostly she does drama with a lot crying. It’s a rarity to see her doing comedies, will she be funny enough? Vee, we don’t have to worry about him, he is a jokester in real life.

It is produced and will be directed by Thongchai Prasongsanti, the man who gave us “Silamanee” with Kob and Paul and the currently airing lakorn “Mon Ruk Mae Nam Moon” with “Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros and Jui Warattaya. There is also a second director.

Ch7 chose the traditional route

You can never go wrong with Thai traditional wear–the colors are bright and happy, the traditional long wraparound skirt can make any women look lean and tall. It’s just beautiful.

The concept for Ch7′s 2011calendar is preserving the essence of being Thai. In a span of 2 days, Ch7 dressed more than 90 of their actors and actresses in traditional Thai wear from various eras to represent their patriotic concept for their 2011 calendar.

That’s not even her biological son

I knew it! In lakorns, they never (rarely) make the nang’ek the biological mother if she is playing a mother to a child unless the child has been fathered by the pra’ek.

For the Dida produced lakorn “Khun Por Wan Waew (The Girly Father)” airing this Wednesday, October 13, the leading lady played by Miss Thailand Universe 2010 winner “Pook Look” Fonthip Watcharatrakul is a guardian to a young 5 year old boy played by “Nong Gino” Chayanin Taowiset. He calls her mom but technically she is just his guardian. Three days before she was scheduled to marry his father Chansak (played by Soonwut Maigun), he dies and she is given custody of Manyu to whom she adores and has known since he was a baby.

Manyu’s mother is Seeda (Pear Pormrampa), she left Manyu’s father when Manyu was still a baby for America. Before she passed away, she asked her younger brother San (Vee Veeraphap) to go find Manyu and bring him to America to inherit her Will. Seeda also asked San to take care and become father to Manyu on her behalf.

Thus the battle begins between the uncle and the stepmother who equally want to be a parent to Manyu. San believes he can do a better job at raising Manyu because he is a man–a little boy needs a father. A woman can only teach a boy so much.  Ramida (Pook Look) argues she can be both mother and father to little Manyu by occasionally dressing up as a guy to which Manyu calls “Por Dap (Daddy Dap)”. Manyu knows it just a game. Underneath the manly clothes and fake mustache, Manyu knows it is Ramida or his “Mae Da (Mother Da)”. Kids at school, especially this kid named Boyd were teasing Manyu for not having a father. They said is going to turn out gay because he doesn’t have a father, so Ramida dresses up as a guy and told him she can both his father and mother.

Nang Tat: Ep. 1 Caps

If you like melodramatic lakorns, this is a show for you. Kob was sold into indentured servitude because her father has gambling problems. There was a lot of crying and melodramatic hoopla. I was surprise I didn’t fall asleep. This will probably be the only episode cap I will ever do for this lakorn.
