@nat12 omg yes, Bow is more just commercial pretty. Like yes she has traits and certain talents that are above your normal citizen but not enough of a wow factor but then again that's alot of stars these days I see gets pushed and I'm just like huhhh I don't see it hahaha
Right? I mean especially in these days of social media influencer fame. People can become famous/popular just being YouTubers or podcasters or whatever. At the end of the day, everyone is basically just making content. It’s the quality and substance of your content that matters.

Oh yeah, Toey is a bit nasal sometimes. And I agree she was pushed quite a bit by the end of her contract at Ch3. Agreed she’s better in a complex role compared to the typical n’ek roles. I guess that’s why I don’t get the feel like she’s a typical n’ek. But I’ll grow old first before seeing Ch3 produce more interesting scripts with complex roles.

@nat12 Funny, I was just looking her up. I'm shocked that she's 37! That's crazy, I thought she was easily easily 30s to mid 30s, not late 30s. She looks great!

P.S.- I can't wait for my queen Cherry's comeback. I'm sure it'll probably be a bit awkward after being mia for so long! Wonder why she took such a long break, I thought she retired. Visually, Alek is a good match. Perhaps, bc she was away from the stressful limelight for so long, she still looks so freaking good and similar to her early years! You easily can't tell that they're almost 10 years apart!

@WeirFany I also thought Cherry retired! I like her acting, but I’m sorry.. I’m not attracted to watch this drama. Maybe it’s the trailer but I’m not really attracted by this type of typical plot. But I was surprised to learn that Yoghurt is 37 too. I thought she’s younger. She still looks very good and if she’s returning to acting again I hope she succeeds.

@spanky wow so many stars in this show. It’s a drama? Or telemovie? And no wonder Mookda was seen with Mint & Margie recently. Netizens were speculating if Mookda was moving to Ch3. Which made me lol.

@spanky wow! No wonder they were all together. Wonder how they'll manage the remake as the original looked to have been a drama. I had no idea mint was even participating in a new movie so this is a lovely surprise.

Here I was just wondering why Mint has gone so long without doing a proper kissing scene (as proper as it can get for public thai TV lol) and why she's so stiff at it after watching Saan Sanaeha last night, if it was a personal choice just bc she's the only girl in her family so maybe her parents were just strict or out of respect for her bf... and here she is in the teaser with one of her rare kisses lol

I truly hope she doesn't give up on her actress goals, I would love to see a few better works from her before she gives up and goes more all into more business ventures lol

produced by Ananda- halo productions

It was at the hk international film .....it's not clear to me if it is a film or serial show



@WeirFany

I haven't really been following her, but she expressed she wanted to do movies and expand on her roles....be able to be picky and pick her roles

Man Margie matches short hair the most compared to long hair but her hair style is such an old fashion 80s style hair too lol

She's a good actress, pity that Ch. 3 didn't see value in her either bc her ratings didn't do well and then she got married and had kids, then got pushed back even more

Going freelance is the best for Mint. She really gets freedom to choose her roles then.

@WeirFany I think short hair suits Margie the best too. Because she’s so slim, she carries it off well. She’s a decent actress, but I suspect family obligations make it difficult for her to juggle with demands of acting especially with kids still young. Even Chompoo with all the help and resources she has for childcare has said she is reluctant to act in dramas again, movies are ok. Drama shoots are tedious and long.

Of course there’s my “usual” complaint: Ch3 doesn’t really have interesting scripts befitting the tastes of current audience. If you want experienced actors to commit to long projects, they would prefer to do so with projects that are worthy of their energy and time.

Mark has confirmed that he has renewed his contract with Ch3. And although neither of them have spoken about it, I suspect that both Taew and Pope did the same too. My feel is that Ch3 is desperate to hold on to them while they push their newbies. Until the new gen reach a point of success, they’re reluctant to let go of their top names.

Personally I think that’s outdated media strategy. But Ch3 doesn’t seem to have much imagination anyway.

Bella appeared on 3Zaap again. But this time seems like Num & Chompoo asked her quite a bit regarding Pope.

I ship them but my personal theory is that Pope liked (likes?) her, but Bella doesn’t like him that way. And I’m speculating she might even be dating someone not in the industry cos Pope isn’t doing fan service with her. When she was with Weir, Pope seemed fine with fan service cos maybe he thought Weir would understand.

On a professional front, I think he’s distancing from her cos their koojin is too successful and he doesn’t want to be stuck working with her just because of koojin hype. And he also seems to be entering his Cilian Murphy phase where he’s staying away from publicity and social media.

Everyone around who work with Bella and Pope seems to cheer them on. But both are the type to be very quite when in come to relationship, so we wouldn’t know.

But Bella seems very open talking now about how she knows him the best:)Kalyanamit… (NY answer a long time ago)

Is CH3 running out of evening drama? Prom Likhit is making a come back on 5th April. We just watched it like not even 5 months back

Yes, I saw her response too that time and I also her answers seem circling round all the time also. Not wanting to say anything but also not wanting to offend the PB fans. The thing everyone can tell also… she says like she doesn’t have feelings for Pope but the way she talks about him is different about when she talks about other actors she’s gossiped about, e.g. Bright/Peak.

Anyway I’m tired of reporters constantly asking her about her love life. They do it to all artistes but Bella is such a workaholic. We see her face constantly but all the reporters can ask her about is her love life. It’s uncreative and boring of them. And Bella and her manager seems very into publicity and media. I understand it’s the nature of of the industry and Bella is very skilled in PR. But she goes along with all the stupid questions that reporters ask, answers like she’s having fun and that’s why she keeps getting them.

Anyway I feel like this is their theme song, hahahaa


Re: Prom Likit… I also think it’s nonsense to have it rerun now. Great and Namtarn’s drama also just ended. But I think Ch3 desperately need ratings. Isn’t that starting around the holidays (Songkran?)? Some speculate it helps to draw audience to continue to watch Tewaprom.

But their drama seems to be getting better rating now than CH7 or we don’t know because CH7 has decided to stop the rating war. Not sure what their aim currently. Their management has no aim it seems.

As for Bella,I don’t know if it’s her manager or her herself who can’t say no to products. Yes she is maximising her fame, don’t know how long that will last, but to say yes to every type of product engagement is like ‘where is the exclusivity’?

Anyone wacthing de Tewaprom series?. Initial feedback was the acting were stiff. Seems doesn’t getting much traction

YES! I agree with you on this. I understand the importance of seizing opportunities. Then every so often there’ll be news stories about how popular she is, how much she’s earning, how much land she’s buying, how much merit she’s making, how much she’s donating. And about her business. That’s all and good, and it all contributes to her image. But OMG I think she should chill out a little? Why is she doing everything constantly like she has to pay off the nation’s debt or something? A while ago I wondered if she’s afraid of overexposure. Now I feel like neither she nor her manager cares about that.

I’m not watching Tewaprom. Maybe not yet? Waiting to wait till it all airs or maybe waiting for Oom & PP’s stories.

I just realised something. Ch3 rerun BPS before Prom Likit was on air. Then PL came on air. Then they rerun RLM after that. Then now PL is being rerun, less than 5 months after it ended its first on air.

Tell me PB is their ratings pull without telling me PB is their ratings pull. :rolleyes:

And in between those dramas Bella and Pope also had their other dramas being rerun. Like seriously they have so many dramas that they wrapped shooting that they have not yet put on air. What’s with the constant reruns?!

Meanwhile I thought this trailer from Netflix looks quite interesting.


It’s giving me Bad Genius vibes but in the religious setting. A bit brave of the production to touch this subject. Thought it’s a movie but turns out it’s a series.

I'm glad they have more movies on Netflix.

I know translations needs to find similar words....

But it kind of bugs me

Girl - how can they arrest us if we are clean?

Literal translation is "We didn't do anything wrong?

In which I feel is better than we are clean

But anyways....

I wish ch3 just Air stock lakorns....or Tewaprom (parent's)

I'll try the kids one eventually.... I'm only currently interested in story #4 and #5 in which won't air until June ? July.

Have to watch the whole thing first to know for sure. Most times, subtitle translation is not just line by line and word for word. Sometimes each line in subtitles need to capture previous or next line being said (due to language structure). The translator could be trying to show tone/context/attitude that native speakers immediately understand by watching the actors, but non-speakers cannot. In this sense, that the characters are young, brash and have little regard for law. I think.

I’ve done some translation before and Asian language to English is probably the hardest. Asian languages are context-rich - you need to understand culture to really understand what is being said. Plus more Asian cultures are also more subtext-rich (what is not said is often more than what is being said). English is a language where the communicated meaning is more captured in dialogue. Speakers are often upfront about what they mean by what they say. Often I think Asian to Asian language translation is easier in terms of culture and subtext.

I agree with you though.. I always thought Ch3 should always offer their old dramas to Netflix. Like Juthatep, or the 4 Huajai series. Some of their evening dramas too. Creates demand for their current dramas in the streaming services.

Thing about Bella is that she has been involved in pretty successful dramas back to back, and got the acting chops to back it up. I agree that maybe she shouldn't make herself so available to every single opportunity lol

But unfortunately for Pope, he's struggled to find success in the recent years unless it was with Bella. I think he knows well himself that his career is limited and that maybe his role as leading male actor is nearing its end, so perhaps, he thinks it's best to create that separation so that he can get more opportunities and not be limited to working with Bella only

Like others said, he's been kind of type casted into this gentle guy role so it's hard either way for him. It's either that or just joker/playful roles which I think he enjoys bc it seems truer to his actual personality but they just don't hit really big for him.

Yes, exactly. The typecast is largely Ch3’s fault. It seems like the only type of role they see him in. He does dare to try other roles, like in his drama with Chippy, but the audience seems to favour him in his typecast role. Even in Prom Likit the audience kept saying they prefer Rueng (the quieter, cooler twin) over Rid (playful, naughty twin). I felt a bit sad for him (especially when the drama turned out to be a bigger mess).

I think he genuinely likes working with Bella, because she’s very talented and their chemistry is good. But had to draw the line somewhere because their pairing is so successful that if it were up to Ch3, they’ll pair them together to the end of time. Personally one thing I find amazing about Pope that even in quiet, gentle roles… he can really hold his own. Bella’s performance is really dominant in recent years especially and weaker actors can be overshadowed by her very easily. But no matter how quiet his role is, Pope can really hold himself up against her. He commands the screen quietly. This is what I admire about him but most people tend to appreciate actors’ emotional acting more, because that’s easier to see.

I’m amazed that he doesn’t look that much older than Kao & PP.
