Thanks for the post. I will answer the questions - How did your Thai drama journey start? My first Thai Lakorn was Full House starring Mike and Aom but never really continued with other lakorns. My interest in Thai lakorns as a permanent fan started with Kluen Cheevit. Love Yaya and Mark in it. Have been a Mark fan ever since.
Do you have any tips for the newcomers? Just like you said,don't give up if the lakorn was not upto your likeability. Most of Thai lakorns are love stories with different premises. The chemistry between the leads is a must. I have never seen the kind of chemistry i have seen in Thai lakorns in other countries' dramas. Seems harsh but true.
Are there any questions for us to settle any of your enquiries? No Questions. Keep up the good work. I wish I could see the comments I left. Notifications come only when someone likes or replies.
Do you predominantly watch Thailand’s BLs or Lakorns? I have never watched Thai BLs. That's simply not the genre i prefer. I am into Lakorns with good chemistry and storylines. I have gotten comfortable with slap-kiss genre though initially it used to piss me off..
Many fans pushing him with Min Pechaya. If it is possible then it would be a RomCom again.
Yeah.. I think its gonna be Pope. Pope was not able to find leading lady for his next lakorn ‘Poo Yai Lee Gub Nang Ma’. There was rumors of Bella and then Yaya but nothing is confirmed yet. Yaya might have been busy..
Yeah.. Mark -Yaya reunion is a must. Hope Channel 3 is listening... I don't know why it is taking so long to pair…
I think when a certain chemistry is appreciated it should be milked more.. It's a loss for channel 3..
I cant help but compare Pope-Bella. Bella was koojin with JJ first then when Pope bella become a hit pair they didnt leave any stone behind to promote them as koojins. At the same time Bella was having a stable relationship with Weir and also made a lot of joint appearance with him... I think NY ship would have sailed smoothly even if Mark-yaya pair got popular. These are just my thoughts... When international fans are shipping Mark and Yaya hard and channel 3 has interest in expanding overseas,I think this is the right time for them to cast these two together.
Translate from interview with Pantip.com (1) Pang is a girl who lost her mother and father at a young age. That caused her to have many problems. She caused harm to P’Arthit who was a very good friend to her. When she came back she tried to atone for her mistakes but it was difficult because he already hated her. He did a lot of things to punish her. She had no choice but to push back against the mistreatment so she could become close with him again. We will have to watch to see if she will be able to win him back to her side. Let’s listen to what Mark (Arthit) and Kao (Pang) have to say about My Forever Sunshine.
(11) Who got teased the most on the set? K: Ling Ling. M:Ling Ling. Yes Ling ling. P Pun teased Ling Ling a lot K:Because she is new to dramas and she had to work with P Pun. I felt sorry for her. P Pun likes to annoy people. M: He likes to tease instead of helping. (Laughing) The truth is he did help but he will tease first. Like a person that will hit you then pat you on the back. (laughing) It might be his style for relaxing the environment. K: Really? M: Almost good. I tried to talk him out of it. (laughing)
(2)About love. K : It started with Pang losing her family. This caused to have bad behavior with the people around her. Then she met P Arthit whose family was already close with her. Since She met him she fell in love with him because he understood her. And when She did something uncouth he would teach her the correct path. He is the only person that was with her as a friend and good brother. She felt good with him until the day she lost her family and went to live with his family. Because she didn’t display good behavior she wasn’t on good terms with his family or him. And then she did something very bad to Arthit and he almost died. After that he was very angry with her so she had to return to fix it. . M: Yes, that is what happened.
(14)Let’s ask the pantip fan club to watch My Forever Sunshine K: Please watch the drama and keep us in your minds. Everyone put a lot of effort in it. M: Everyone keep your mind open when watching it. K: Every comment has meaning to us and the whole team. Even the cameramen, lighting people, director, producer want to develop the drama. And make the good production to entertain everyone. So please watch and comment politely. M: I love pantip fans. (smiling) K: Love pantip. Please watch My Forever Sunshine.
(5) M: My part wasn’t difficult at all. I just had to appear on set. (laughing). P Arthit has a hot head same as his name (Arthit=Sun). I also had to act as a young person. . K: P Mark is also a hot head but he has calmed down a lot.(Laughing) He is a person that reacts instantly to his thoughts. His character is very close to the real P Mark so it made him understand P Arthit very well. I don’t know how to say it nicely.(laughing)
(9) Pang as a problem child. How did Kao want the audience to perceive this person? K: For me I don’t want anyone to judge Pang or anyone on first impressions. Because in real life people have good and bad parts. No one is 100% perfect. So don’t hurry to judge people. Since we feel that our lives are not perfect . no one is 100% perfect. So just learn to live with each other.
(10) The love scene part with Pang and Arthit. K: Whew! You have to follow the drama. If you have watched from the beginning until the middle you will feel ... oh! they are fighting again. But after Arthit starts to have feelings for Pang you will cheer for them. And when you start to cheer and the love scene happens you will pound the table.(laughing)
(4)The difficulties about these roles K: The truth is the hardest part was when I was in the middle school stage and as you can see I am far from that age being 25 years of age. . M: Yeah, 10 years (laughing) . K: In the past I have played high school roles but never a middle school role. So I had to go back in time very far to act that young. The thoughts and speech of a middle school girl are very different from how I am now. It was difficult to make people believe in my character. It was not just a matter of appearing young, I had to talk and act as a middle schooler to make them really believe it.
(6)In your opinion what is Pang and Arthit’s charm? K: I feel that Pang is a person who is very patient and tries very hard and focuses on doing things. So this is to her advantage to help her pass the barriers in her life. But is you think of a kid who had it all then everything fell apart might be depressed or have suicidal thoughts but Pang was very adept to pass those trials. . M: The charm of Arthit? I think it should be his warmth and vulnerabilities. At first they will show that Arthit was a warm person that grew up in a loving family. But after he grows up he doesn’t like this person.(pointing to Kao) But the truth is after he learned what she had to go through to become this way it was able to melt his heart. It was the start of a change in his feelings to sympathy and then love for her. It will have a point where he will learn what happened to her family and he feels badly about how he treated her. He will want to apologize and make excuses to her He will start to be nicer to her.
(7)Which scene impressed you the most? K: For me it was the drama part. It is about when my family died. I am always is in the scenes with P Duke who portrays Arthit’s father. We have to do drama together a lot. Everytime P Duke will give me a lot of emotion and that’s impressed me very much. . M: Yes Yes. He did send you a lot of emotion, didn’t he? For me I liked the scene where she tried to rape me. It was a tipping point in the story. After that there was much more story to be told. In fact you can think of it as cute because this kid doesn’t know how to express love. I want the audience to watch it and ponder over her reasons for doing that.
(3)When Mark and Kao knew they got these roles. M: I am very glad. I had read the script and liked it very much. It was very enjoyable. I was happy to have a chance to work with Kao. We had worked together before but not as the couple. The other projects we worked on together had very little contact between us. So I was very happy to have the chance to work with her. . K: I was worried and afraid because the author imagined me as Pang. So I wasn’t sure I could live up to her expectations. So I gave 110% to my performance. It was my good fortune to work with P Mark because he was nice and helpful. The whole crew was very helpful and did their very best. So I am very happy with the opportunity. 1h1 likeReply
(12) After you worked together what impressed you about each other? M: I like her friendliness. First I thought she is….. What is it called? Look at her face. K: Why? My face looks like a good person’s? M: Yea yea, good K: I am a good person M: I thought that she might be a person that needs their own space but the fact is she is easy going and easy to consult and talk things over with. K: P Mark is very chill. I thought that he would be more pretentious but he is very chill and comfortable. He doesn’t put much thought into his action. It makes him look charming. It helps him with his acting skills because he puts his feeling and instincts into his acting. M: Good talking, good talking. (laughing)
(13) Besides love what will people get from this drama? K: Enjoyment. First you will really get to enjoy then you will be excited and cheer everyone. Pang, P Arthit, P Pun and Ling Ling you will cheer all the couples. So stay tuned and watch all the episodes. This story has a lot of flavor, drama, romance and comedy. The comedy will be in the part of P Jack, P Freud and the gang of friends are also cute. Please follow it. I don’t want to spoil it. M: Yeah. It will surely be enjoyable
I see many comments saying Arthit is rude, arrogant and going over the board. But I don't see it that way. In…
100% agree to you. I have tried explaining this many times but i am hardly heard.
Since most of the lakorn viewers here are mostly women,they mostly empathise with female characters more and get very annoyed when the male lead tries to be a little mean..
Most of my favs are males and I have always faced this problem. If the male leads are even a bit harsh, there is lot of criticism where as there is leniency if the female lead is mean. I am not talking about Nang Rai. Thai drama always have mean male leads most of the time...
sad bcuz i can't watch it in WeTV, its not available in my region.
you can download free VPN and set the location to singapore and try accessing viu through its website not its app. I think lakorn galaxy has it too. The password is already available in this comment section
A lot of people on YouTube were bashing the male lead and his mother for being childish, extreme and ungrateful.…
Sometimes the onscreen hatred for a character can turn into hatred for the actor playing that part.. Its a very tricky situation.. Many top bollywood actors avoid negative/villainous roles for the same reason..
Everything makes sense to me so far but then I did not read the novel. I'm glad I don't read novels so I am never…
I don't think Arthit is that harsh... She has come there for internship and she gotta learn all the basics right.. Also the amount of agony he has gone through in the past few years feels nothing compared to living in a servant quarters for a few days or cleaning the cow shed etc..
Loving this lakorn.. I love Mark's acting here.. His facial expressions and his eye contact and his transformation from a young adult with cheerful personality to a depressed,uninterested and grumpy person after the accident is so well depicted .. I can feel his pain and his anger.. Hope he gets the support to overcome his situation..
I finished the novel last night and I really feel for both characters. Both had their reasons for their actions.…
In drama they are 3-4 years apart. She is in high school somewhere between 16-18 years. And he is in university around 21-22 years. At most 4 years old and not more than that.
