first of all, Enjoy is never under CH3 she is signed artist under Conversation Thailand until the conclude partnership…
From my understanding CH3 actors can fall into three types: - Actors who are exclusively managed by CH3 (managed entirely by CH3, faces of the channel) - Actors who are signed to CH3 to play roles in their lakorns (the implicit/explicit understanding is that they are not to appear as a lead actor in a competing channel, can only lead in platform-series like Netflix, TrueVisions Now or Viu, or WeTV) and they'll be managed by their own managers (either professional mangement company like TB (Nychaa, Gulf) or their personal managers (P'Ae for Nadech, P'Kornz for Alek). This group is also often signed to production houses and so the production house also manage them and when making a lakorn for CH3 they could prioritize their own actors; for ex: Toey Pongsakorn was signed under/managed by Broadcast Thailand during his time at CH3 so a lot of his lakorns were produced by CH3) - Actors who have non-exclusive contracts with CH3 to play supporting roles for them, there is a more laxed restriction for them on what non CH3 lakorn/series they star in (this group is similar to the above, often managed by a company that isn't CH3 or a production house)
Of course 10 years ago, whether actors could partake in outside productions or not was never really an important question for CH3 actors because CH3 were producing 30-40 lakorns per year and starring in a competing channel's lakorn is simply unfathomable
Rin-La-Nee (DAVIKA HOORNE), a cultural arts student, died a horrible death and worst of all, her soul was locked up by Ake-Ka-Raj (Prachagorn Piyasakulkao) and his friends, her rivals at school, who had planned to destroy her. Two years later, Rin-La-Nee’s spirit caused Tae-Chin (KAN KANTATHAVORN), her ex-boyfriend, who will soon marry her best friend Chom-Phu (Atthaneeya Aimwasan) to like the thai house that her soul has been secured in. Unwittingly, Tae-Chin caused the paper talisman that bound Rin-La-Nee’s soul to the house to fall and deteriorate releasing her spirit. Rin-La-Nee’s soul is finally free! Due to the merits made between them in the past, Rin-La-Nee was able to reveal herself to Tae-Chin. Remeniscing about the depth of his love for Rin-La-Nee in the past, Tae-Chin broke off his engagement with Chom-Phu to come to live with her, not knowing that she had died and was no longer of this world. Rin-La-Nee plans to live a quiet life but that dastardly Ake-Ka-Raj and his friends would not leave her alone. Angered and full of vengance, Rin-La-Nee went on a killing spree, taking the lives of all of those responsible for her death including Chom-Phu, who had seen the incident the night Rin-La-Nee was killed but who did nothing to prevent it! Chom-Phu did not rush to the aid of her friend because she was inscenced that Rin-La-Nee had been secretly seeing Tae-Chin behind her back. This dispicable act that Rin-La-Nee commited caused her to lose Tae-Chin and ensured that they will never be together, even when they both pass into the spirit world.
wooow! maybe its not my fav bl (it was kinda hard for me to watch this all lmao) but i would lie if i said i didn't…
Mandate is very much an unconventional 'BL' series and I'm so glad you gave this show a chance. There's actually a 17 year age gap between the two lead actors (Ben (Wi) is born in 2001 and Boy (Nong) is born 1984) so I think that's a huge compliment to the makeup department 😅
I know it's only the first episode and all, but the similarities between it and Love Upon a Time is a bit hard…
well LUAT is heavily inspired by Bupphesanniwat (Love Destiny) aka the hetero time travelling romance that is considered to be Thailand's national treasure so =))))))))))
I feel like they are making this a big deal, like making a mountain out of a molehill. If you want something,…
It's bad because it seems like he starts targetting the people around small Jane until small Jane becomes isolated and desperate and that he has no one to turn to but big Jane, also he seems to have zero moral compass.
I think the promo starts end of june and gelboy05 announcement on july 3???? i think at earliest show might start airing mid july or end of july, depending on how much pre-show promo they're doing
I wonder if this might be a big step for Thai PBS moving forward which is revenue from licensing to regional platforms like VIU which can in turn help them with better budget for their dramas
It is not the point of the stoy but I can't believe Grandpa had a homoerotic friendship in his youth that inspired his BL novel. I would have liked to know what happened (these goodbyes were making me tear up the entire time watching).
In a conversation I had with a friend about "forgiveness", especially for bad/reformed homophobic parents/characters, within Thai series, they reminded me that it is "the usual Buddhist-influenced Thai approach to these stories - however justified they may be in their grudge, only by letting go of it can one finally be at peace. The important thing about forgiveness is not that the wrongdoer must earn it, but that the wronged be compassionate enough to forgive it."
While audience may view a story a certain way, believing whether it's just/unjust that a character is forgiven ot not, it's probably helpful to keep in mind the cultural context of the story which largely influenced the ways of thinking of these characters 💝
