I think the channel is correct in giving Mek supporting at first. It gives him a chance to improve and one day become pra'ek should the channel go that route. Mik has done supporting as well and worked his way up...so he's well deserved where he is at.
To me, he would just be another pretty face if his looks doesn't balanced itself out. Have you seen the man in jeans? He can work them lol. His height plays a big part of what makes him stands out among others. Now, if he is average in size then he won't have that authoritative demeanor. Also, his size let's him play with so many more actresses...especially smaller ones it's so romantic.
But there are times in his lakorn with Bow at certain angles his nose and lips makes him come across like a little piggy hahahah...but nonetheless he is an extremely attractive little piggy
