Jan Ployshompoo Supasap
Thai
Seen In: Cupid's Last Wish, Cherry Magic TH, Home School, Fish Upon the Sky, Peaceful Property
I was already a fan of Jan after watching Cherry Magic--She brings such a charming, infectious energy to the story. But watching Cupid's Last Wish really pushed her to the absolute top of my list. The way that Jan and Mix created two character together and clearly expressed them was simply so impressive--she is never afraid to do something embarrassing or strange on stage. I very much look forward to seeing more from her.

Film Rachanun Mahawan
Thai
Seen In: Not Me, Home School
I am so impressed with Film's performances. I have mostly seen her in characters that are sweet and charming, but she manages to instill them with a fascinating depth and inner life. There's a quiet and grace to her performance that plays very well with the other characters on screen and resists being lost. The roles I have seen her in are quite static over all, but she manages to still make them shine and feel like dimensional characters.

Becky Rebecca Patricia Armstrong
Thai
Seen In: Tharntype, GAP, The Loyal Pin, Secret Crush on You
เจ้าหญิง... Becky is such a joy to watch on screen. While she's largely played cute and charming roles, she's played them exceptionally well and with a decent amount of range considering the limitations of the script. I would not necessarily describe her acting as "natural," but it definitely has been the right choice for the romcom roles she's chosen. I am so excited to see what 2024 and beyond holds for her.

Emi Thasorn Klinnium
Thai
Seen In: 609 Bedtime Story, Wandee Goodday, The Rebound, The Trainee, Hoon Payon, School Tales, Perfect 10 Liners
Emi always stands out to me in the best way. I think a lot of actresses get caught in a trap of playing a caricature of a woman in BL, but Emi has always struck me as exceptionally natural, even in small roles. I was pleasantly surprised in 609 Bedtime Story to see her genuinely compliment and match both Ohm and Fluke and give the story the depth it deserves.

Meiko Chonnikan Netjui
Thai
Seen In: Manner of Death
I really loved Meiko's characterization of Jane in Manner of Death. Her character developed naturally and shifted with each character she was paired with--how quiet and open she is with Bun, how innocent she was with Pued and how that shifts, and all the complexities of her relationship with her sister. Her various death scenes were also stunning, with just the perfect amount of power. I want to see her in more things!!

Xiang Pornsroung Rouyruen
Thai
Seen In: Century of Love
Xiang has such phenomenal comedic timing and a wonderful mastery of character expression. Most of the moments she's on screen is lively and filled with joy, but she also commands a natural presence in the quieter, sadder moments. Juu was a memorable fan favorite character and I can't wait to see what she does next.

Janeyeh Methika Jiranorraphat
Thai
Seen In: Home School, The Gifted, The Gifted Graduation
Oh, what a loss for GMMTV, but what a win for Jane. Jane is so fun to watch on screen--despite her (former) company's allergy to giving women complex roles, she's always brought an energy and charisma to the screen. I very much look forward to her getting to sink her teeth into something better in the coming years.
