So cute, funny, and short

Interesting why he doesn’t get roles… strange

I can't wait, I love this actor so much

I’ve been watching series for over a decade, so I’ve seen how consistent this pattern is. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful—I’m simply sharing my experience as someone who has been watching Thai series for over ten years.

Regarding the claim about weak or lazy production—this isn’t just my personal opinion; it’s something that’s discussed quite globally, and you’re welcome to look into it. I don’t know the exact reasons, and it definitely doesn’t mean Thai people are worth less or have lower value. On the contrary, I’m sure there is a lot of beauty in their culture—for example, in the costumes, temples, sculptures, and art.

It’s just that in television productions it’s very noticeable that there is weaker writing and production, along with what appears to be a very unusual level of marginalization of darker-skinned people.

. I also have no doubt that there are many positive aspects of Thai society, such as their strong ability to accept others in a broad and inclusive way compared to many other countries.

I mainly watch Japanese series, and they don’t have this kind of racism in such an obvious way. Even now I’m watching one series after another where the lead actor is tan , so they definitely allow that kind of diversity in their shows. But Thai productions don’t allow this, and I’ve been watching series for over a decade, so I’ve seen how consistent this pattern is.

So it’s legitimate not to say anything about the actor himself, but rather about their casting choices in these series. Here it’s very noticeable, because all the servants are darker-skinned, all the criminals are always darker-skinned, and only the main actor is fair-skinned. I have no issue with the lead actor, and I will also correct my first comment.

That’s completely fine, I agree not to comment on his appearance. I’m only referring to the pattern where lighter-skinned actors are chosen for leading roles while darker-skinned actors are cast as servants or criminals. But if this is the story and the character is fair-skinned in the book the series is based on, then that’s legitimate.

Okay, but in general Thai productions always choose very fair-skinned actors as the protagonists, while all the criminals, offenders, or servants are darker-skinned, and I pointed out this issue. It’s legitimate-if this is a different story that recreates the book, that’s acceptable.

You are very aggressive, please seek help urgently. This is a forum where it is allowed to write relevant criticism.

First of all, I don’t know if you’ve actually been to these countries, but in Korea and Japan the majority population is represented in their shows, so what you’re saying isn’t really accurate.
There are also many castings of actors with less fair skin. But in Thailand, this kind of racism is much more noticeable and explicit, and I see a strong need to point it out. There are Thai actors who only get cast as criminals or servants just because they have darker skin, and they will likely never get the opportunity to play leading or even supporting roles.

I assume they simply can’t discuss this issue because they are a dictatorship, and it’s very noticeable in their series.I haven’t seen Thai series that deal with deep, real issues—genuine conversations between two people about injustices done to them—unless it’s a private production, and even then it’s very, very subtle and doesn’t touch on more serious matters.

It’s also important to clarify that there is no connection to other Asian series in this context—if I choose to comment here, it doesn’t mean I won’t comment on other industries as well, so your argument isn’t really relevant.

And by the way, Thailand has other issues that don’t exist in countries like Korea and Japan, such as a lack of ability to take things seriously. Yes, there are topics that can be discussed and debated, but most of their productions tend to be very superficial, and as a result, their fans can sometimes be quite superficial as well.

I understand that I touched a sensitive point for you on this issue, but this is the reality.

You don’t understand what it means to be Thai with darker skin, who cannot get roles just because of their skin tone. Most of the actors in this series are expected to play slaves and servants simply because they have darker skin.

From my perspective, that is not fair, and I wanted to point it out. This is a free forum where people are allowed to express their opinions, so I am allowed as well.

This is not about the fans, and it is not about the actors—it is about the Thai production that overlooks the rights and equal opportunities of darker-skinned Thai people, who are the vast majority in that country.

Please stop using the “Caps lock,” it’s unnecessary.

I don’t care about the actor… I care about the Thai producers who exclude darker-skinned actors just because they’re not “white enough.” And please stop using the “Caps lock,” it’s unnecessary.

At a certain age, you stop really caring what people think, and you say, “Okay… I’m an old,” It happens to everyone at some point.

I explicitly stated that most of them are dark-skinned, not all of them, so I didn’t make a generalization.
It has always bothered me because it’s a complete disregard of an entire population. It’s something very common globally; in this case it’s particularly noticeable, If this were in America, for example, where the majority is white, it could be understandable, but that’s not the case.

I was sure it was a cheesy series about a idol band; it turns out it's actually a thriller series.

I thought it was supposed to air today—did they postpone the broadcast?

It seems to me that most viewers of the genre are young, and even in Japan it’s considered "old".

What I dislike most about these shows (beyond the fact that the script is banal and dumb) is that in historical series, their racism becomes even more obvious in the production. I don’t know what Thai history was actually like, but you can see that everyone—literally everyone—is dark-skinned (and all the Thai people around me are dark-skinned too), yet the main character is always light-skinned no matter what. In this case, it’s true that the master isn’t completely light-skinned, but why is the one who came from the future pale as snow? . The only thing that’s certain is that he’s very light-skinned. And honestly, I usually don’t care about these things, but with Thai productions it stands out the most, because most of them aren’t light-skinned. If most of them were, fine—but that’s not the case.

OMG!!!!

This isn’t the kind of series I usually watch, but I love the actor and the vibe of the show. I love the scenery, and the way the series is filmed. It has a lot of emotion and warmth. It feels like I’m watching an old Japanese series or an anime that was turned into live action. The second episode moved me to tears when I saw Mister Fuji, it was filmed so clearly with such vivid, living colors, and it was very emotional. I would really love to be there, but unfortunately I can’t. Thanks to Irozuku for giving us the opportunity to watch this.
