Yesterday, I listened to Salmon Podcast of Ohm and Nanon episode and I am genuinely moved by their relationship.…
Ohm has just replied to P'Aof tweet that I talked about when he asked P'Aof "Did you notice it? Nanon is smiling a lot today and that really is the best thing." with
"His smile is always my happiness since he didn't smile that much." He also added in another reply tweet to the fan "Back then, he didn't smile much at all. But now he never stops smiling after being Pran."
They have known each other for years and Nanon said than Ohm has been through his multiple personality (because of the method actings) and is the one who has seen enough to talk about it. Ohm even said in one of the interview that Nanon became Pang after The Gifted: Graduation with all leader attitude + stubbornness that made him tried to be tough and harsh most of the time. Lucky for him that he gets to have his beautiful smile back once again after being Pran and I hope his smile is always preserved with Ohm around him.
PS. After the podcast episode released, Khun Noey - the co host - just tweeted this on her twitter.
---------------------------------------------------------- 'This is the most shocking and surprising episode of the show for me.
During the interview, Ohm started to cry when he talked about the feelings he has to Nanon. I, as a host, was so shocked but also filled with understanding as well.
Every word from him is true and pure. We both (both hosts) felt everything. All the questions regarding their relationship were then decided to be kept without asking since we believe what we had seen already answered everything.'
PS. A night before this podcast episode released, Ohm tweeted that this is going to be the only deep talk that is really deep he has done so far and it conveys every true and straight forward feelings he has toward Nanon.
Yesterday, I listened to Salmon Podcast of Ohm and Nanon episode and I am genuinely moved by their relationship. No fan service, not at all. No label for the relationship, but it's all heartfelt actions and words that are counted.
I like how the Interviewers didn't focus on Pat and Pran part and tried to match them up for some juicy moments. I like how the interview was so pure and sincere that you could tell just by listening. As I am a Thai native speaker, I fully understand everything in the interview without having to go through the translation process so I can 100% confirm that they really have such a beautiful relationship that doesn't need to be classified.
I'm still moved when Ohm talked about how he come to admit that he loves Nanon through the conflict between them that he decided he had to talk with a guy at the set about Nanon. I love the fact that this guy listened to him all the way and finally decided to give him a suggestion that all these feelings and conflicts Ohm has about Nanon is all because he sincerely loves Nanon. I liked how Ohm said that he had to step back and re-considering his feelings toward Nanon. He had never considered the fact that he might love Nanon before. But after a deep thought, he came to conclusion that he really loves Nanon. He even added up that it's really difficult to admit that since both of them are young men and they still have to work together as partners but I love how brave he is for saying something like that. He even said that since that day, he started to look at Nanon differently and that Nanon is always and will always be on his sight no matter where or in what situation.
Ohm's talk is so sincere and genuine that he couldn't even finish the whole explanation since his tear formed up and he tried hard not to cry. I like how Nanon just jumped into the interview and continued the discussion with one hand consoling Ohm. I liked how Nanon revealed the imperfection relationship between them and the way they both decided to find the middle way so they could be together. I liked how brave Nanon is for saying something like "Since we are already in this together. Since we already love each other. We can do nothing but learn to accept flaws and find the middle way so we can really be together." Their relationship is a diamond.
When asked what's the most heart-warming moment in their lives of 2021 (doesn't need to be bad buddy or anything that is work related), I love how Ohm gracefully admitted that it's to learn that he can truly love someone (and he reached his hand to Nanon). And Nanon is the person he most thankful for in this 2021.
We all know that Nanon was having insomnia and was under depression. In this deep talk session, we get to know that Ohm always plays an important part in helping him going through that moment in life. Nanon said that of all the people, Ohm is the only person that would console him by asking him to "Smile for me and keep smiling because I (Ohm) want to see it." without having to ask what's happening or what's going on in his mind. Nanon said that Ohm is always like that, whenever he smells something bad, he will just cheer Nanon up by asking Nanon to smile first no matter what the problem is since he always knows that Nanon can't handle things well enough.
P'Aof (the director) also tweeted later after he got a chance to listen to the Podcast that the interview brings back the memory when one day, Ohm walked to him after the shooting is done and asked him "Did you notice it? Nanon is smiling a lot today and that really is the best thing." P'Aof also added that there are many things and moments he wants to share but will just have to wait until the series is ended.
In Soonvijarn Channel, where P'Aof uses as a channel to watch his works (and other works) with his friends (who are also working as a director, a producer, a script writer and a critic), P'Aof explained what was going on at the set when they were filming a scene from Episode 3 (when Pat appears in front of Pran and helps guiding Pran on designing the new Bus Stop). He said that the scene took 10 takes of shooting, which is not normal for the standard of Ohm and Nanon (which normally took only 2 takes in each scene since they are really good at what they are doing) By take 10th, P'Aof decided to walk to Ohm and sat there on the ground with him. The direction on that scene is that Pat has to show no sign that he has that romantic feelings toward Pran because during that time, Pat still doesn't figure out the feelings he has for Pran yet. P'Aof asked Ohm for the reason that Ohm couldn't do this scene as directed. Ohm tried to explain that he understands everything clearly. He understands the script, the situation and the feelings that Pat should have at that moment. However, he can't just pretend that he feels nothing about Nanon. So no matter how hard he tried, it would always end up showing that Pat feels something toward Pran. Because of that, P'Aof decided to let the scene be as it is. As what we have seen in the series.
I've never been a fan who ships the BL couple head over heels since I'm not really into any couple relationship in real life and I don't think it's cool to do that. However, with these 2, all I could feel is only the sincerity and purity in their relationship. Friends or more, I think it doesn't matter if you already have someone you could already call a "Soulmate" as Nanon calls Ohm. Hence, I can totally understand why their Chemistry is off the chart in Bad Buddy and why we all love this series this much.
oh theres something that i noticed, in ep6 partt 1/4 when the bus stop is done and pat tries to talk to pran but…
Confirmed that it's the same guy. It's P'Leo Put. He was a successful singer and actor here in Thailand. Though he hasn't been in the entertainment industry for ages. Seeing him in this series is such a surprise for us Thai.
As GMM hasn't translated the new song yet and it's very much fit to the mood and tone of the story now. I think I will just drop my translation here since I love the song so much.

I was not really sure about the "Cheating" topic that was shown in ep 3 - 4 but I decided not to leave any comment yet. Part of that is because I don't really think there's any significant message to tell when it comes to cheating. Cheating will never be the right thing and it's too cliche and I didn't wish to see in the sequel of I Told Sunset About You.
I'm happy that I was wrong all along. They only used cheating as a bridge to the key message they want to talk about. The message of I Promised You The Moon is not about the sequences of cheating and being cheated since we all know what to expect from that. I think the real message is about how Promise is not easy to keep, which is contradict to the message on I Told Sunset About You that portray the beauty of love through all the promises.
If you still remember, in the final scene of I Told Sunset About You, Teh and Oh-Aew gave promises to each other. One of that was to never disappear again. In the finale of I Promised You The Moon, both of them grow up enough to know that promises are difficult to keep and will likely turn to poison one day. What more important is understanding and being sincere to one another. Oh-Aew even told Teh that instead of promising, let's be more understanding and talking to each other more when problem comes. Relationship needs this more than any promises and I think this is the key message of IPYTM.
I like how the script turned our most beloved character in BL History like Teh to the character we all feel disgusted, hate and untrusted. I believe Oh-Aew also feels the same somehow. But the point is Oh-Aew could forgive him and is ready to try once again. The biggest question is are we all, as the audience, ready to forgive him as well? For me, I think Teh deserves my forgiveness and I kinda believe that he already has his lesson and he will treasure Oh-Aew as much from now on no matter what.
Don't forget that he chooses Oh-Aew over his dream now. He posted the picture of him and Oh-Aew with the bouquet with the caption "I said yes" on IG without hiding even when it might hurt his career of being superstar. Oh-Aew even reminded him that but Teh is mature enough to understand the consequences and assure Oh-Aew that it's only a part of the obstacle that they both have to conquer. You know that it's signed, sealed and delivered when you are putting someone over your dream.
I'm Thai and I've seen a lot from our entertainment industry 'til I believe that I can just leave a comment from…
There are so many typo as I typed in a hurry and didn't check before publishing (like 'In fact' and 'cute'). Sorry if it makes my comment difficult to read.
I'm Thai and I've seen a lot from our entertainment industry 'til I believe that I can just leave a comment from…
About the skin color, I've seen these boys in real life before and I can only guarantee it with you that Drake is "FAR" more darker than Frank. Please do not trust what you see in the picture, there's a magic trick we call photoshopping. In far, he is one of the actors that I myself would classify as a dark-tan skin. But the boy is surely cut even with his dark-tan skin.
You are right about Yaya and Nadech being very famous here in Thailand. However, you are focusing at the wrong reason of why they are famous. Both Yaya and Nadech are famous because of their manner and behaviour. Of course, they are very good looking but that alone wouldn't be enough to make them a Thailand Sweetheart. I don't know if you know Poo Praiya (She is Thai / Iraq and is very famous locally and internationally), Noon Siraphun (100% Thai and is super famous), Maeya Nonthawan (Thai from Southern part of Thailand with dark complexion and was crowned as Miss Thailand 2014 and is still being loved widely in Thailand up until now.) Benze Ponchita (One of the dark skin super start in Thailand that has been in the industry for so long and being loved by everyone. She is 100% Thai), Opal Panisara (She is like Ellen Degeneres of Thailand and she is 100% Thai with dark skin). These are only some names I could easily think of when it comes to dark skin famous celebrities in Thai Entertainment Industry and there are many more that I can't even list it in weeks.
Thing is, you can't just judge the whole Thai Entertainment Industry and Thai Society with those that you know. Many of those fair skin (or white) actors/ actress that you know are not even famous in Thailand. Many of them won't even be recognized by Thai locals as a star here. I would say that those that you know are world-wide handsome, which means they are normally being recognized as handsome not only for Thai people. So I guess they are international standard more than just a Thai Standard.
Regarding the Miss Thailand Universe, it's always like that every year. I don't think people really care much already. Trust me that no matter who is the winner of the stage, white or dark skin, they will be bashed by those who don't like. If they don't like, it's all about not liking. They will have to find the flaw in that person and criticise or they won't be able to move on with their topic. This happens all the time and every year that we Thai are fed up off. Or you can take Maeya as an example, she is the darkest contestant in Miss Thailand Universe 2014 but she still took the crown back home and manages to be loved by Thai people.
Our nation is consisted of all skin types depending on where you are and what your ancestor is. Say if you are from Southern Part of Thailand, you would expect to be darker by standard compared to other part of the country. Being said that, there are so many super stars in Thailand that are from Southern Part of Thailand without a problem even when they have a darker shade of skin. So as a Thai local, I think being white might still gain you some advantage if you are trying to look for it, but it is not enough to call the whole country a white-worshiping colorist.
I'm Thai and I've seen a lot from our entertainment industry 'til I believe that I can just leave a comment from…
Agreed on what you've said. Only one thing, I think I like him in this role more than when he was in Slam Dance. For me, I think he is acting better in this series.
Anyway, you are right that even when he is acting better, it doesn't mean that it's at the point where I would praise him for that. I could also see potential in some other casts like Morn and Ton. I do wish they would be better in acting and they would, one day, be offered a good role for them once so they can prove it.
Hes starting an acting career in Thailand because he knows no american company will ever hire him for his wack…
I'm Thai and I've seen a lot from our entertainment industry 'til I believe that I can just leave a comment from my perspective. I wouldn't deny that being fair skin is quite popular and admirable here in Thailand. But one thing I can totally disagree with your is the thing you said that there's zero half black or even tan skin famous actors in Thailand. You should know that many of them are half black or tan, and they are very famous. It's only the fact that they don't appear much in the show that go international but it doesn't mean they are not famous or not existed. We do have SO MANY actors and actress that are black, half black and tan and most of them are famous locally than these new kids now a day.
Back to Drake, he is also a good example of a tan skin actor. I have met him before so I know that he is very tan, not as close as to call white at all. The fact that he is half American doesn't make him white. But what he has from being half American is the exotic look and it's pretty normal that people are more admiring on something that is exotic. So if there's anything you should talk about the boy, please don't comment on something that is not even true to his case that he could be in acting career just because Thailand is white-worshiping colorist.
In fact, he acts pretty good in his first main role in "cause you are my boy" I dare to day that he could act better than most of the boys in the series.
"His smile is always my happiness since he didn't smile that much." He also added in another reply tweet to the fan "Back then, he didn't smile much at all. But now he never stops smiling after being Pran."
They have known each other for years and Nanon said than Ohm has been through his multiple personality (because of the method actings) and is the one who has seen enough to talk about it. Ohm even said in one of the interview that Nanon became Pang after The Gifted: Graduation with all leader attitude + stubbornness that made him tried to be tough and harsh most of the time. Lucky for him that he gets to have his beautiful smile back once again after being Pran and I hope his smile is always preserved with Ohm around him.

I like how the interview was so pure and sincere that you could tell just by listening. As I am a Thai native speaker, I fully understand everything in the interview without having to go through the translation process so I can 100% confirm that they really have such a beautiful relationship that doesn't need to be classified.
I'm still moved when Ohm talked about how he come to admit that he loves Nanon through the conflict between them that he decided he had to talk with a guy at the set about Nanon.

I liked how Ohm said that he had to step back and re-considering his feelings toward Nanon. He had never considered the fact that he might love Nanon before.

He even said that since that day, he started to look at Nanon differently and that Nanon is always and will always be on his sight no matter where or in what situation.
Ohm's talk is so sincere and genuine that he couldn't even finish the whole explanation since his tear formed up and he tried hard not to cry. I like how Nanon just jumped into the interview and continued the discussion with one hand consoling Ohm. I liked how Nanon revealed the imperfection relationship between them and the way they both decided to find the middle way so they could be together. I liked how brave Nanon is for saying something like "Since we are already in this together. Since we already love each other. We can do nothing but learn to accept flaws and find the middle way so we can really be together." Their relationship is a diamond.
When asked what's the most heart-warming moment in their lives of 2021 (doesn't need to be bad buddy or anything that is work related), I love how Ohm gracefully admitted that it's to learn that he can truly love someone (and he reached his hand to Nanon). And Nanon is the person he most thankful for in this 2021.

I do wish they would be better in acting and they would, one day, be offered a good role for them once so they can prove it.
Back to Drake, he is also a good example of a tan skin actor. I have met him before so I know that he is very tan, not as close as to call white at all. The fact that he is half American doesn't make him white. But what he has from being half American is the exotic look and it's pretty normal that people are more admiring on something that is exotic. So if there's anything you should talk about the boy, please don't comment on something that is not even true to his case that he could be in acting career just because Thailand is white-worshiping colorist.
In fact, he acts pretty good in his first main role in "cause you are my boy" I dare to day that he could act better than most of the boys in the series.
