The Interview

Outside, the rain is pouring against the window pane, but the inside offers a cozy, intimate environment for the interview. Waree is in a state of excitement, for she has been waiting for a few days now, cooped up on the island, waiting for the right time to interview Khun Sama. After all, to him, it’s all about timing. But Sama is in a different state of mind, anxious and not at ease, he is about to reveal his life to a young reporter whom he found a connection with since she was a child. It’s not easy divulging the past filled with pain and rejection.

“Let’s go ahead and start,” Waree encourages him with a smile, clasping her hands together.

“I am willing to let you interview me, but I ask that there will be no voice recordings,” Sama starts.

“Why not?” Waree questions, how is she going to remember all of the details?

“In my line of work there are a lot of trade secrets, it’ll be best if I can eliminate any traces. I don’t even want my picture to be featured.”

“I understand it is because you are Jao Phor (of this island) you must be especially wary, are you satisfied now?” Waree says with exasperation.

Sama takes her voice recorder into custody. He has her pack of cigarettes, now her voice recorder, what next? Her heart? Hehehe.

Mon Jantra Ep 2

Posted on May 22, 2013

Ep 2.1 Mon Jantra: Khun Sama is such a tease

The smooth boat ride brings Sarawaree to the shores of Koh Yanok, a quiet and private island belonging to Khun Sama. Her first experience with the inhabitants of said island is the opposite of warm, the assistant Pipat and housekeeper Lampang are aloof and uncaring, not to mention highly protective of their boss. But who needs a large welcoming party when you got Khun Sama’s attention all to yourself? Where do I sign up?

Waree peers around the spacious living room of the island’s mansion, she had questioned Pipat earlier if Khun Sama had accepted any proposition to film lakorns on the island, but Pipat snidely tells her that his Khun Sama values his privacy and that just hosting a reporter is trouble enough. It appears the people around Khun Sama likes to tell her what Khun Sama prefers and how strict he is. Funny thing, when the man appears, he is rather flirtatious, giving, and easy going with an air of intensity.

Khun Sama approaches her from behind, as she observes his living room.

“Koh Yanok welcomes you,” he says, flashing her a handsome smile.

Waree returns a half smile, “I am happy to accept your hospitality.” If it is the one and only she’s gonna get.

Simply Irresistible – Khun Chai Puttipat

Posted on May 20, 2013

kcp1

In hindsight, the powers that be (channel 3 elders that is) are probably kicking themselves right now. They knew that the weekend prime time lakorn, Khun Chai Puttipat, is in the hands of Paajaew, a more than capable director. They also knew that the storyline and script will appeal to the general public; it is after all based off of a book series, and had been received pretty successfully. But they had no idea that the combination of the aforementioned, along with a budding actor and his chemistry with his costar, could culminate into something so irresistible. It is too late to request an extension, too late to supply the demand.

But that is one of the reasons why I like Channel 3, and why I think this particular lakorn is so darn cute. Perhaps they knew all along that they have something special on their hands, but unlike channel 7, they don’t always air it before the lakorn has finished filming nor will they extend it just for ratings or air time. Channel 3 in this effect, has fueled the fire (and fever) for a character (Khun Chai Puttipat) and his actor (James Jirayu) to fans who can’t seem to get enough.

“I will build this casino if it kills me. It is my dream.” – Khun Sama

“This dream of yours, it is a sinful business that will encompass your life causing infinite pain and death to others.” – Sarawaree

The title song only intensifies the conflicted relationship between Sarawaree and Khun Sama.

How do you expect me to love you?
When in my head, I can never forget
The problems that keeps me up at night
I fear it will be the same
How could I love you?
When the past will only worsen if we remain like this
If you really love me, prove to me that you are confident.

Wow, if this intro is any indication, we are about to have us an intense romantic drama!

mayatawan2

Maya Tawan (Tawan’s Deception) starring Aum Atichart and Yaya Urassaya, who are collaborating together for the first time, have finally come to an end. It is a story of overcoming past struggles and trust issues. I do hope it was everything that you had hoped for. Cheers.

Ep 13 Recap – END

“I don’t want you to live in hell like me,” Bot says as she looks at her cellphone.

She recalls earlier that Chate threatens her not to tell KhetTawan. Will she save the greater good?

“Can you tell me now where my pearls are at?” Chate is screaming this at her, Mattana is scared. “I had my people searched your entire house and they cannot find it.”

She finally realizes who the true culprit is.

“That was your doing?” Mattana asks.

Well, thanks for clearing things up Chate, because as we know, if you don’t spell things out for Mattana, she can’t come up with it on her own.

2013 Semi-Half Yearly Lakorns in Review

Posted on May 14, 2013

78294_293110587459903_811069381_o

This year thus far has been an incredible year for lakorns. I’ve decided to compile a semi half year review as oppose to attempting to review an entire year’s worth of lakorns in one post. What is surprising to me though, is that in looking at the list of lakorns that I’ve personally watched, there aren’t many. The ones that I did end up tuning into however, are oh so good. Quality over quantity, no?

The diverse and variety of lakorns released on the small screen this year are rather refreshing. We have controversies surrounding Neua Mek2- which is actually a really good lakorn emphasizing more on good overcoming evil- but apparently the government didn’t like the comparison so much- resulting in the first ever pull from the television prior to completing its run. I enjoyed the fast paced and CSI type aspect of it, not to mention the chemistry between Mteam. Pon Prom Onlaweng became a surprising hit, introducing Bella Ranee as nang’ek Tanyong who resides in Nong May’s (Nong Unda) body. There were a lot of things I liked about that particular lakorn, it brought Boy Pakorn to my utmost attention, and offered if not a better, but a different interpretation of the original version. Nong Unda is a true gem and I hope to see more of her in lakorns. Then the epic series happen by, Channel 3′s biggest project to date, 5 Gentlemen Juthatheps for our weekend installments, and TV scene’s endeavor with the 3 Musketeers Series to get us over the hump of the mid week. Despite the 3 Musketeers Series being remakes (and Pon Prom Onlaweng alongside Pan Rak Pan Rai are remakes as well), we are given refreshing new stories to indulge with in the handsome Gents series, as well as the many anticipating lakorns that will air for the vast remainder of the year.
