As far as I am concerned, Pope is appointed by Ch3 not PAnn. Pope said it himself in an interview in mid Nov, that he has been appointed to act in Samee by someone in Ch 3's management but has not been contacted by Ann. Besides, in the recent interviews, Ann only mentioned "probably" / "maybe" Pope and in a very reluctant way, unlike how she announced Ploy and Jui. Hence, it is pretty obvious that Ann didnt pick Pope herself.
Exactly!!!! Dont take me wrong, I am not against Pope. But to those who have watched the old version of Samee may realise, the pra'ek has to be mature, charming and charismatic enough to make nang'eks 1 and 2 to fight over for him and even risk their lives to be with the guy. No offence, Pope may have outstanding acting skills, he may have the "Pra'ek" look, BUT it is so NOT convincing seeing girls like Ploy and Jui to fight over for Pope's look / maturity. Sorry, charm / appearance is something that cannot be brought out from other people.
I understand ch 3 is trying hard to "sell" Pope, but come on... pick another lakorn!! Why ruining Ann's??? :rant: :rant: :rant:
