This is definitely the reason why I want Mark to freelance but he just sign another 3yrs contract w ch3 *sigh*
Mark fits GMM and One31 lakorns so much. Ugh! I can imagine it clearly...... if only my imagination comes true :( why is he stuck in ch3 for pete's sake that channel isn't doing much for his abilities. I really wanna see him free.
100 filming queues is equivalent to 100 filming days. That is usually the longest for a lakorn to take. 100Qs…
Yes, it's normal. James Ji, Boy Pakorn, Great Warintorn are doing it now. Mark filmed two lakorns at the same time in his early career. Right now, he told Ch3 executives to give him a lakorn once he's 50% done with his first committment so he'll have more time with Kim. Awwe! He stopped accepting two lakorn at a time after Kom Faek.
Anyway how long does it take for a lakorn to finish filming???
100 filming queues is equivalent to 100 filming days. That is usually the longest for a lakorn to take. 100Qs takes one year to finish not including the editting and all post prod activities.
Just to add more info, Ch3 have two schedules in filming their lakorns. First sked is Mon-Tues-Wed. Second sked is Thurs-Fri-Sat.
My Husband In Law's sked of filming before was the first while Game Lah Torrachon's is the second. I can't remember MFS because that lakorn was too secretive in their filming process.
If an actor has two lakorns to film, usually his sked is full-packed. His first lakorn will take sked #1 while his second lakorn will take sked #2 just to fill it in without having conflicts.
Filming for Mark's movie starts now. He looks so cute with eyeglasses on! And btw, Feb 4 is still the released date. Since his part in the movie only occupies 30-40 mins of screentime, filming should be at least done by this month
Was rewatching few scenes from Mhil, goddd! Mark's acting was really top notch in emotional scenes there
Episodes 12-15 brought out the best of Mark Prin tbh. Until now I still haven't move on towards his character portrayal of Thien. That was his best acting to date. This is why I've been clamoring for him to get out of romcoms and go back to heavy dramas because he improved sooooo much now and he has to make use of that learning into more mature and challenging roles.
I really want to answer all your queries over a cup of coffee since everything dates down to Mark and Nadech's…
I really don't want to judge people over things that I didn't see because there are happenings behind the camera that we don't know and we, as outsiders, have limited knowledge about it. That's just my take about the issues and the stars perdonal affiliations. I don't react big over matters that I don't have background knowledge and deeper understanding about just so I can save my rage from the possible misconceptions :D
But I respect your opinion and feeling my friend. Everyone is entitled of one.

Both parties were wrong at that time. Whether who started it first or who goes along, it doesn't matter. A wrongdoing is a wrongdoing regardless of reasons. Both received equal backlash because of it. Mark was viewed differently because of his words. Mint and her mom were crucified in SNS. At least they're done with that phase in their life and serves as a lesson to both parties.

I really really wanted to put that Line App Scandal into detail but my reply to her was already too long so I had to keep it brief and concise to get pass through it. Although I failed on the brief and concise part 'coz it was still lengthy and my head is filled with too many infos. I don't know what to put in as important or not LMAO!
Anyway, thanks for writing this. really appreciate it.
I'm not a fan of Mark as an actor before when he was still in koojin with Mint Chalida but I am actually craving for a lakorn reunion between the two. I know this is the most impossible reunion pairing to ever be thought about but I have a soft spot with this two. They were my childhood lol.
If ever they'd have a lakorn once again in the future, I'm quite sure it will do well in Thailand because many misses them both on-screen. And they both have grown as actors now.
Anyway, this video below was the reason why I suddenly miss the two. Their pair was so popular back in the day. It would be a joy to watch them work again all grown up despite their history (haha) #MTEAM

As far as how my memory serves me right...
Mark and Nadech debut at the same time with the same lakorn entitled "Ngao Ruk Luang Jai". The lakorn was pretty popular back then because TV3 casted hot newbies. Mark was the main lead at that lakorn while Nadech was only the second male lead. However, the viewer's response to Nadech was warmer than Mark's. Despite being the second male lead, Nadech becomes everyone's fave because aside from having a likeable character, his good looks also served him well and has huge potential in acting. Mark, on the other hand, was just behind Nadech's shadow. The lakorn ended full of recognitions towards Nadech.
Right after their debut lakorn, they were casted again in a 4-stories-in-1 lakorn called 4 Hearts In A Mountain (4HJHH). That lakorn had newbie love pairs like Boy and Margie, Mark and Mint, Nadech and Yaya, then Kim was paired with an already seasoned actor. 4HJHH was pretty much the birth of those A-List actors mentioned. Their popularity boosted because of it. Nadech is already popular due to his first lakorn but it skyrocketed even more because his pair with Yaya was the most loved among the 4 stories. Mark's story with Mint that time had the lowest rating among the 4 but they are still veryyyy popular despite it and it solidified Mark's popularity which made him one of the hottest newbies.
After 4HJHH, Nadech was paired more often with Yaya. Since their pair becomes the most popular couple that time, they've been receiving couple lakorns and endorsements from left to right. They also had a huuuuuuge fanbase so they were in high demand. They had fanbases in Thailand and overseas even in their early years. While Nadech accepts a lot of lakorns and movies that stretches his potential, he also was able to bag a lot of acting awards in the early years of his career. Both major and minor awards are his lol. He was already dubbed as a Thai superstar even 2 years after his debut and had the highest record of acting awards for a Thai actor up to date. That time, Yaya kinda received backlash because people doubt her acting abilities beside an acting monster like Nadech. Because as much as Nadech received multi-dimensional roles that challenged his acting abilties, Yaya was stuck in her cutesy roles (before she proved everyone wrong because Kluen Cheewit came with a BANG!)
Mark's route was different than Nadech's. He was popular-steadily popular. He's also in demand by fans and producers but his roles aren't as memorable. Pre-Kluen Cheewit he was stuck in gentleman roles all the time. Those roles that don't require much of an effort suppressed him from his abilities. If he's not in action, he's in romcom with nice male lead roles and its getting repetitive for the first 6 years of his career. It also didn't help that he had controversies about being a casanova (before Kim. Although this one's debatable because people mistook his friendliness to flirty) and the Line App scandal against Mint's mom. That was very chaotic and a hot topic trend too because he had to kneel in front of the press to apologize for his wrongdoings. So, Mark had couple projects with Mint and Kim alternatively at that time but because of the scandal, Mint doesn't want to star with Mark anymore and he gets more projects with Kim which becomes even more popular compared to when he's with Mint. Even with scandals, Mark is just sooooo lucky because people easily forgets about it and move on (thank god!). Although being scandalous is kinda imprinted in Mark's name even until today.
Fast forward, I remember the casting of Kluen Cheewit was 'somewhat' controversial too because people doubt Yaya and Mark for the roles. They were both seen by people as "stuck within cutesy (Yaya) and gentleman (Mark) roles" that having them in a heavy slap-kiss lakorn which requires angst and crying scenes would flop because they were too bland compared to their koojins, Nadech and Kim, who were acting giants. But yeah, both Mark and Yaya proved everyone wrong. Their abilities as an actor wowed everyone including their chemistry. The lakorn not only made an impact in Thailand but also overseas. With this, both Mark and Yaya pretty much became one of the most popular Thai actors (along with Mario, Davika and Baifern) internationally because KC was an overnight success.
Now to your question: "I don't understand his (Nadech) current popularity though as his last few projects have been disasters and even on IG he has fewer followers"
1. Nadech only made his IG account last year (Sep 2019), hence, less followers.
2. Nadech's popularity in Thailand is unquestionable. The throne is his. He worked hard for his good image and reputation as one of the best actors in his generation. Even with silent publicity, he still has solid fanbase and producers still fall in a long line for his queue. He's a philanthropist. He is also a singer who had sold out concerts. He had blockbuster movies. Thai people in general love and adore him to bits of pieces him.
Internationally, I think his popularity overseas was still greatly influenced by Yaya's fans (post Kluen Cheewit). Since Nadech doesn't have a solid foundation overseas and Yaya became so popular outside Thailand. After KC, most of her inter fans who wanted to watch her previous works had to watch all 7 lakorns and movies that she had with Nadech. So, as you see, because Yaya and Nadech had so many projects together, Nadech was dragged along despite having mediocre lakorns recently (MLFAS, TCP, Switch).
Most Asian fans are also into shipping and intrusive with their idols' love life. Seeing Yaya and Nadech having great chemistry in lakorns and have a healthy-loving relationship in real life feed the Asian fans' fantasies-enough for fans to follow them even more. The attachment that they had for Nadech started because they were a Yaya fan first and then eventually came to know Nadech better because of her then later on became a huge fan. Nadech kinda fall behind Yaya's shadows internationally in my opinion. Yet it still benefits him in a way.

They were talking about the success of My Husband In Law as the highest rated lakorn for 2020. So Mew and Mark gave their thanks to people behind its success. After, the emcees mentioned about Mark's two awards for MHIL. he won as Best Male Lead in a TV programme for Content Asia Awards and Thailand's representative for Best Actor in Asian Academy Creative Award. All of those awards for his role as Thien in MHIL. Mew congratulated Mark and promoted his new lakorn My Forever Sunshine. Then Mark said his thanks and promoted Mew's upcoming lakorn which is Duang Tah Tee Sarm.
Just to add more info, Ch3 have two schedules in filming their lakorns. First sked is Mon-Tues-Wed. Second sked is Thurs-Fri-Sat.
