Hehe. I'm just trying to collect info from producers so I can spam them with my dream couples.



Aah. So that's who that IG belongs too. Haha. Thanks! I guess I've been following him/her already just didn't know who it belonged to. Hahaha.
She often does random couples too so your spamming suggestions might work lol but she does like actions though.
 

MissPK

Got Phet?! ❤
WOW! Yes, especially that photo.....but I've been noticing it too. Did she always have the booty or is that a recent gain? What kind of squats Taew doing these days? lol
She's always had a booty lol i watched her dramas in the past and noticed it. It stands out also coz not a lot of actresses have a booty lol
 

MissPK

Got Phet?! ❤
Wow! I’m impressed lolZ.. I didn’t think she would have had any booty back then because she was so thin. Lolz at Margie comment “bubble butt” :facepalm:
Hahaahhaa even Margie noticed her bubble butt too.

When I first seen Taew I was like wooah okay this n'ek got a butt lol coz i was used to actresses with no butts :yawn:

@phatman the haircut is gonna happen in this week's episode, so I was told.

Haha So I just dropped by to talk about JamesJi because it seems no one wants to talk about him in this lakorn thread :risas3:so please indulge me a little.

He improved quite a lot and it shows in Episode 9 and 10. I mean, before that the fight scenes were a big leap, and forgive me for being sexist but I attributed it to having a male director in NDFD so James appeared to be most manly in this role, even when the premise had been he was supposed to act like a Eunuch. Then with the dramatic scenes, the way he just kind of held everything in, it was beautiful. I mean, he's cries a LOT in all his lakorns, but his crying is different each time. Like compare his crying scene in Ruk Sud Rit and his crying scene here, it's a big world of a difference (of course his character there and his character here is different too.) Even his crying in this commercial is different as well.


Before I used to think Pope was the only one who can pull off manly tears, but I think slowly, but surely, James is catching up.

And then with the sudden shift to romance between Mangmao and Khanthong in Episode 10, forgive me for saying this, but I think Nant served his purpose in the story - the main point being having Khanthong in the worst state of his life then suddenly making Mangmao appear as a breath of fresh air - or even his very oxygen to breathe in that suffocating world. You guys have to understand that the P'ek (yes, he exists. :p) had been suffering his whole life - with his parents both suffering injustice, he himself suffering injustice not just by the hands of the politicians and Jaojom phen, but even his grandfather and even his class, being a peasant quarter-turk boy and everything. Nant, who is his only friend is taken away from him (there was foreshadowing of this from the very beginning as Nant always kind of flirted with the girls, and Khanthin said he'll get into trouble for it someday - only for the reverse to happen, that is, he ended up revealing his secret due to his own "softness"/kindness and his best friend had to pay for it. Imagine the pain he was going through) So mean as it may sound, Nant's purpose in the story had been to highlight the pain of Khanthong, how he had to lose something from his own weakness, and how he had to toughen up to continue the mission despite everything. - and of course Nant's loss would also highlight the blossoming relationship between Mangmao and Khanthong - as now, Khanthong has literally lost everything and Mangmao is all he has left, apart from his mission. His mission is his reason to die a noble death, but now, he has Mangmao who is his reason to live.

But that is not to say Nant is insignificant. On the contrary, he was quite crucial in the story and character development and Phet played him quite well. His character was a simple guy, unlike our serious and uptight Khanthong and so you see him being scared and being playful at the beginning but when it was time to step up, he stepped up, big time, and through that whole process, he maintained his simple, jolly facade. When Nant was crying silently and telling Khanthong to just accept his fate and go on with the mission, Phet's acting was restrained and not over-dramatic that he would be mourned for for long because in the end, he died a hero. Instead, he had that quiet acceptance of his fate and their final scene together was like the bro code of all bro codes and you know that that was that. I used to pick on the style of the director, in that the scenes seems scattered all over the place, or that the editing isn't done well, or what, but for scenes like these - it has that right amount of solemness and lack of cheesiness - unlike say the more romantic lakorns with Pa'Jaew or P'King Somching.

and then we go to Khanthin and Mangmao. the scenes between them are not modern day lakorn cheesy, but they're damn sweet. I don't know if you guys feel the same way. I first thought Taew would have a hard time looking younger than James, i mean, look at them off screen and he's a big baby. But in the Lakorn, Taew is so bubbly and cute and not annoying as that bubbly and cute character, and now that she's "maturing" - she's becoming more adorable - and Khanthong is becoming more endearing as he falls hard for Mangmao. Like Khanthong only smiles and shows real emotions when with Mangmao and it's like his desensitized monk self is shaken by Mangmao's honesty and "pureness". I really love that scene with the wintermelon and dried fish (oh btw. That's the thing James couldn't pronounce and it took more than 30 takes was it? :risas3: Maybe that's why his tears were so realistic in that scene with Taew hahahaha). It's like Khanthong smiles for the first time - like that Khanthong of years ago when his mother and father were together and everyone was happy and before all this sh*t happened in his life. They barely have dialogue, but looking at each other, James and Taew were able to draw the emotions quite well.

SO I haven't seen 11 and 12 yet. So That's my belated review of 9 and 10. Sorry, I talked too much.

I love this!! Actually, I love it every time you comment on here about the story. I feel 5x more into the story after all this. James’ character to me is quite powerful but because he seems to come off more quiet and is more sneaky while doing things he gets missed. Well to me he does bc his character is one you hsve to really pay attention to. Nonetheless, the storyline is picking up & I have lots of mixed emotions now than I did in the beginning.

@040156 Thank goodness. Urgh. But we're almost at the end already.

Hmm. About Lil James. He's doing his best in here I'll give him credit for that, but in my honest personal opinion (don't hate me for this) I think he's a little bit of a miscast. He just can't seem to express Kanthong to my liking and I cringe most of the time. I do like his voice during some scenes. . .though.

Haha it's ok. I know that there are always two sides to a coin. I mean, yeah, some people can't just take him seriously, it's a fact of life. But see Khantong's character has a duality in him. He can't be masculine, but he can't be too soft either. He's like in that fine line in between, and to me, no other guy can be that soft and be that tough than JamesJi. I mean, he's gay without being gay, I don't know if you can get it. :nut: like with James, he's naturally soft without being feminine, per se. He's tough as they come, but with a really sweet face and disposition.

I don't know if you guys noticed but his first scene was a monk. An emotionless, sexless bald monk. I am not Buddhist but some Philosophy lessons in college taught that they kind of shun the worldly concepts to the more absolute and clear ideas like nothingness (think Jedi). So this guy who was thrown so much crap his whole life is formed to be that pure almost "empty" shell - then suddenly his dad dies and he had to go get revenge (in the same way as his father did with his own father). Khanthong grows out his hair and he's so beautiful and suddenly he's this androgynous guy with a beautiful face but a tough manly mission. Well, I may be reading too much into it, but it may also be a symbol of unity of the kingdom, like how they come from different tribes but they're all Thai. We're not sure if Khanthong is manly or feminine or what, but it doesn't matter, he has a noble Thai heart who wants to die for the motherland, and all that. Ok sorry, i digressed a bit. But yeah, this role was supposedly written for James and perhaps fans of him would understand it more and think it makes sense. But yeah, although I had to like ramble in a whole paragraph to try to dissuade you guys, believe it or not I do understand that it might not be your cup of tea.

But anyway, I just dropped by to say Ep 11 and 12 are up!

Not to butt in or anything, but I think you put into words of how I feel about KT. His duality is what makes me feel its hard to really focus on how strong his character is. He has to restrain himself so much that it just seems MangMao is getting more light because she is moving around more. Idk how to explain it but I feel some type of emptiness watching the Lakorn bc KT’s can’t ignite anything yet. I know once he leaves the palace it’s going to be a whole new forte which is going to be interesting.

@Xiongurl26 actually, I agree with what you said. Khanthong hesitates too much. It's always the problem of flirting vs sticking to the mission. On one hand it's frustrating, like jeez, he gets frisked and hit on by women in the whole lakorn, even Mangmao is starting to be a girl (to her horror, turning lesbo? Haha) just to pursue Khanthong. He isn't like the other p'eks who are out there chasing the n'ek with all they've got.
But yeah. There is hope. I hope they'll be able to do that and make Khanthong go for the gold. Like that time when he just went for it and kissed Mangmao. He should have more of that to show he is really a man and not any less.

at least there's that for us to look forward to. :aaaaa:

Actually I was able to read the scene script for a latter episode, I'm not sure if it's this scene but

when things start to get chaotic in Ayodhaya with the Burmese troops shooting cannons all over the place, Khanthin tells Mangmao the secret passage that he uses to go in and out of the palace, hoping she'll escape once things get messy. She tells him to escape (since she already knows he's a spy right) but he decides to stay (for her). And I don't know if I remember it correctly but he also reveals his secret to her at this point and says she's the only one in the palace who knows he isn't a eunuch.

Even his crying in this commercial is different as well.


Before I used to think Pope was the only one who can pull off manly tears, but I think slowly, but surely, James is catching up.

And then with the sudden shift to romance between Mangmao and Khanthong in Episode 10, forgive me for saying this, but I think Nant served his purpose in the story - the main point being having Khanthong in the worst state of his life then suddenly making Mangmao appear as a breath of fresh air - or even his very oxygen to breathe in that suffocating world. You guys have to understand that the P'ek (yes, he exists. :p) had been suffering his whole life - with his parents both suffering injustice, he himself suffering injustice not just by the hands of the politicians and Jaojom phen, but even his grandfather and even his class, being a peasant quarter-turk boy and everything. Nant, who is his only friend is taken away from him (there was foreshadowing of this from the very beginning as Nant always kind of flirted with the girls, and Khanthin said he'll get into trouble for it someday - only for the reverse to happen, that is, he ended up revealing his secret due to his own "softness"/kindness and his best friend had to pay for it.

and then we go to Khanthin and Mangmao. the scenes between them are not modern day lakorn cheesy, but they're damn sweet. I don't know if you guys feel the same way. I first thought Taew would have a hard time looking younger than James, i mean, look at them off screen and he's a big baby. But in the Lakorn, Taew is so bubbly and cute and not annoying as that bubbly and cute character, and now that she's "maturing" - she's becoming more adorable - and Khanthong is becoming more endearing as he falls hard for Mangmao. Like Khanthong only smiles and shows real emotions when with Mangmao and it's like his desensitized monk self is shaken by Mangmao's honesty and "pureness". I really love that scene with the wintermelon and dried fish (oh btw. That's the thing James couldn't pronounce and it took more than 30 takes was it? :risas3: Maybe that's why his tears were so realistic in that scene with Taew hahahaha). It's like Khanthong smiles for the first time - like that Khanthong of years ago when his mother and father were together and everyone was happy and before all this sh*t happened in his life. They barely have dialogue, but looking at each other, James and Taew were able to draw the emotions quite well.

SO I haven't seen 11 and 12 yet. So That's my belated review of 9 and 10. Sorry, I talked too much.
JJ's mother hen speaks :lol:

I really love James' character in this drama. I mean, few actors can pull off that sweet and reserved character and James has the physical and emotional attributes to be KT. Before this, I used to say that Ramet was my favorite JJ character but now, I'm more in love with KT than Ramet. James acts with his eyes in here so even if he has less gestures, you can still feel him. I love the contrast KT and MM is offering. You have a well behaved p'ek vs. a naughty n'ek and it blended well for me.

Few disappointments tho with the drama. I would have wish for that secret kollabot to be solve in episode 8 or 9 and not 11. It was just too long ,for me, so that we can see more of the "manly" KT and not the eunuch KT :lol:

This part will be in episode 13. MM will know that KT is not an eunuch.
