Why is Maenmuang guilty? Dam, Mingla has to go through so much, I hope Mew can over come all those things.

Maenmuang feels guilty for being happy when Mingla wanted a marriage life with the pra'ake and is stuck in a horrible life. Maenmuang switched places with Mingla but things didn't pan out the way they had planned. Maenmuang loves her older brother a lot too and he's very traditional, so because the pra'ake befriends Westerners because he's educated and wants to learn from them, good knowledge, Maenmuang is at times stuck in between them. The brother believes that it's people like the pra'ake that is a sell out when in reality, this was during the colonizing era, smaller states or kingdoms would depend or kiss bigger kingdoms' booties to gain protection and benefits, so times were changing, western civilization was inevitable. Pra'ake was smart and flexible, he wanted to obtain good useful knowledge from the West to improve the system in the East.

Well, love how all the conflicts about nangeks abilities. We've seen Maenmuang similar role in Tang Ying Taew who's classy and loyal except Ying Taew was so true to her feelings. So, I for one hope Mew gets Mingla who's challanging and cunning in her way.

let's just hope the guy who play as the king/ Mingla's husband is not old & hopefully he cute ^^^ bwt the two , I think Maenmuang role is the hardest b/c she have more scene lol , there an rscene/willingly , intimate scene (bath in the river), though she doesn't have to seduce her husband but she always seen depress/angast/teary/guilt ridden when they are together ,then she give birth, idk. it kind of tug on your heart seeing Maenmuang' struggle w/ love & country's loyal & the guilt she had about trade places with Mingla. I think aum does her role prefect for this lakorn.

Yeah I liked both roles and Aum was beautiful as Man Meung. I liked Mingla but I didn't feel sorry for her till the end. She (and her mom) brought a lot of pain on herself.
 
Man Meung was originally to be sent to the kingdom with the cruel Queen and Mingla to p'ek but because it was supposed to be the "main" princess that was to be sent to the kingdom, Mingla's mom had Mingla go instead. She didn't want her daughter to be second to Man Meung or to be the spare princess so she basically sent her daughter to hell all because of pride and jealousy.
 
Mingla also asked for p'ek to come kidnap her and he agreed because he wanted to help her out. It would have worked out for her but Mingla was cruel and wanted to gloat to Man Meung so she told Man Meung that Jao Sukawong was going to kidnap her and prevent her from going to the other kingdom cause he loved her (which was a lie, he only felt sorry for her). Because Mingla couldn't resist gloating, Man Meung told the secret plot to her dad and brother, because otherwise a war would start and Man Meung was raised to put her country before anything. The dad and brother then came up with a counter plan to thwart the kidnapping.
 
Mingla was also warned by everyone that the Queen was known for being cruel and smart but Mingla didn't listen. She thought she could outsmart the Queen and get more power than the Queen. She was proven wrong. So yeah a lot of her suffering was due to her own selfishness and being cruel.

Ncmeowmeow35, Ken P would actually be another suitable candidate for the Prince. The idea of him pairing with Taew and Mew sounds appealing because of his height as there's something so endearing about a really tall and built actor paired with a petite actress. If Mark is unavailable, I hope they don't force Act Art to promote a newbie. 
 
I personally think both Maen Muang and MingLa are equally challenging characters in different ways. MingLa is pretty self explanatory due to her manipulation and psychotic ways. The role requires a lot of raeng scenes that would be a difficulty to pull off without overacting/exaggeration. Maen Muang is suppose to be gentle, sweet but has that intriguing quality to her that doesn't make her boring to watch. She's internally a strong character through the endurance and sacrifices she makes for her country. MM has to be able to convey a variety of emotions through her eyes and has to communicate to the viewers that she is loving and devoted to her husband without any vocal confirmation of his love for her back. In another sense, it's a challenge for MM to stand her own ground when MingLa is always coming out full force. 
 
I don't mind Taew as MM or Mew as ML. It'll be interesting to see Taew transition back into a prim and proper character without seeing any traces of her previous roles. ML is something out of Mew's comfort zone so it'll be a test of her capabilities. It's already a given that the elders would make Mew second to Taew but it's also a good chance for Mew to make a breakthrough. It doesn't really matter if she's nang aek, n'rai or what not, at the end of the day she's an actress who should be able to take on diverse roles and as long as she does her job well, that's all that matters. 
 
Aum and Noon were fantastic in the original adaptation (this was back during the time when Aum was actually serious with her acting) and they set the bars pretty high. It'll be tough to make this newer version come out as good but for the most part, Act Art is a promising production.

That right there is gold. No matter what roles are given, an actress acts. If you truly have the love of acting, you just act. I believe that only a celebrity cares if they are given a nang'ek role or a nang'rai role. It annoys me to no end when fans go ranting that their fav should be a nang'ek and only a nang'ek. Well if the elders see them as a nang'ek then they would cast them as a nang'ek. Just be glad that they have a job because there are 10 other talent waiting to take your spot, nangeks or nangrais those 10 are willing to do it.

She has a big project with ch 7 coming up so hopefully her passion comes back. She was horrible in that last lakorn of hers. It's as if she never acted before or something.

Exactly! That's why I have so much respect for actresses like Benz Pornchita and Pok Piydathida who truly understand the value of acting and continue to do their job regardless of what characters they are given. 
 
Aum was great during her primetime. Nowadays, she's lost all the passion and devotion and it's evident through her recent lakorns as her eyes are always so dead. It'll be funny if Pleng Pranaang ends up airing at the same time as this one.

Can't wait to see who will all be cast in that lakorn because the old one had really good actresses. They all shine in their roles and they were all mains. Would Aum allow a-listers that will shine more then her?

Yeah, I didn't feel sorry for Mingla either up until the very the end when she lost everything, her youth, her beauty, her body, her life.

I also hope they choose someone younger and more handsome for the King; that way, it won't be as hard on the eyes when Mingla tries to win him over. Lol

And knowing ActArt, they have the potential to ruin this (i.e dragon series) and the filming will take forever (i.e Roy Mai). I hope they force him to follow the script (i.e the khun chai series) and not change it (i.e dragon series).
 
Ooo speaking of Roy Mai and the dragon series, hopefully he cast Chai as the bad guy. Love to see him and Mew!!

Darn it, read on spicy that Mark might not be in here. Man I hope they cast someone I like, I wish they would consider Mario or Nadech here then (wishful thinking) or maybe even Aum. I hope they delay this so Mark might make it here.

I think Taew match to play MaeMuang more than MingLa. MaeMuang requires more eyes expression which requires experience actress. I hope pra ek is dime handsome.

Interview of Khun Dang who is the one of producer of Act Art
Cr. Komchadluek
 
"I've already could confirm two role that is Taew as Maenmueng and Mew as Mongla, but I can't find Pattamasuda which is the role of Meow Chamaiporn in old version. I need high skill actress for this role, because this role will fight with N'ek. It's significant role (Is this hard casting?) When I read a plot finish. I think of Taew and Mew. I and Taew are work together for long time, and I know what she fit with. She have good working and patient. She and I work together, and I was seen her as family. About Mew, I look her similarity with Taew, but she is yonger than Taew. So, I choose her to acting along with Taew (Why you choose her as Mingla that is rai role?) This role really not rai, but it has humanity. Mingla was instructed by her mother, and Mew can pass something in this role. She will be great actress. Now, Mew learn about acting, and I need to pull her potential.
 
If you ask me that when are we have fitting. I have planning around next month or the end of June. About pra'ek, I think Mark is fittest on this role, but I can't confirm at now, because his queue get close to Buang Athitarn. We're discussing with channel. If we can't get his queue, how the channel said. we will do like that. If channel can't clear his queue. we will change actor, and would ask Khun Somrak. I really need Mark in this, if it impossible. Do I have a pressure? I have pressure in working all the times. I have to do it best, and about our quality of old version lakorn is good. I will more attend do this. About location, I will always go to North such as Chiang Mai, Lum Pang.About next lakorn, we plan nothing. We will make this before."
 
...So This is first time of Mew with rai role

Honestly, I wish the p'ek isn't Mark but it seen like the producer is determine to have him ^^ idk. If there a chance for a different p'ek , I hope it's someone manly looking. Blame it on "bang rajun" loll when I think of period lakorn I see tall, tan , muscular & handsome man . I know, I know , the character in this role are royal blood , no bang rajun ppl.
