i wonder if pear is not getting pushed as nek is because she's pretty in a way that is not the girl next door aka typical nek image. i'm not very familiar with her work, but from seeing her here and there, i can appreciate that she actually takes her roles seriously. sometimes i see some actresses that play rai simply phoning it in, but pear throws herself into the role as needed without caring about image, and i can see the nuances to her different roles, even when they're all rai.
ps, i think she would have nailed the role of khae in game sanaeha. too bad, oh, what could have been~
