If New is leaving, it's only a matter of time before Now follows suit.
It doesn't surprise me that Pooklook is leaving because like I said, any smart person can see that once you enter your 30's, Ch. 7 pushes you to the sidelines no matter how much revenue, hype, and popularity you brought the channel over the years. We expect the artists to be loyal but has anyone ever wondered why Ch. 7 practically has no famous celebrity over 30 there? I mean, there are very few but even then, they don't receive the same amount and quality of work as before. The channel isn't loyal to its own artists it raised and built. They recycle quite quickly and heartlessly. These celebrities need to survive once they're passed their prime too, so I understand. Pooklook will be 29 this year, she's just getting a head start. But PPTV? I'm not sure if that'll be a good move on her part. In addition, Ch. 7 lakorns have declined tremendously in quality whether it be the houses, props, wardrobe, scripts, to directing. They're so poorly produced. It's no wonder why established artists leave. They want to try out something new and different while they're still wanted in the industry.
You know...everything depends on fate and luck too. Yes, Sammie is a really good actress but she just doesn't generate enough buzz at Ch. 7 no matter what role they give her. She's gotten some really good roles before. The last drama I watched her in was with Kelly, the twin one. She was good in there. She's had a few good dramas under her belt but just not enough buzz and fan base? I hope her fate will be better with another channel when she moves. If you're good, it doesn't matter who your pra'ake is, you'll shine. Some of Noon's hits were with Vee. Pooklook shined on her own, too. Mai, too. The most talented ones aren't always the most favored ones. That's life.
