I need a fangirl moment and screeammmmm. It’s Andrew Gregson, the god of all things lakorn fever. He has been a force to be reckoned with back in the heydays. I mean directors are still remaking his lakorns: Torranee (’98), Rak Kerd Nai Talad Sod (2001). And still a few others that need to be brought back to life: Look Mai Klai Ton (2000), Musaya (2000), and Tang Parn Kammathep (2001).
After a hiatus from primetime television and the unsuccessful Kehas See Dang in 2011, Komchadleuk has revealed that Andrew has been casted for a playboy role in a romantic comedy, brought to us by Act Art production. It will be part three of a five part series entitled Mafia Leurd Mungkorn, alongside an interesting slew of casts: Ananda, Ken, Boy, Kimberly, Cherry, Janie. The names P’Dang and P’Off should spur memories of Khunchai Ratchanon, Roy Mai, and Rak Kerd Nai Talad Sod. Andrew and the producer/director have maintained closeness since the filming of 12 Rasee back in 2003, and so it’s a natural teamwork for this new project.
The even bigger news here is his pairing with Taew Nattaporn, who has become one of the best actresses for Channel 3- she’s got both the smarts, looks and acting chops- not to mention the ratings and successes that trail after her lakorns wake. Granted, there’s certainly a lot of things that can go awry during a casting for a lakorn, and anything can happen between now and fitting day. However, if Andrew Gregson is returning to the small screen and pairing with Taew Nataporn, it’s a ship I’m totally boarding. In fact, it’s such an exciting prospect, I’ll be keeping a close eye on this little gem, and maybe even the whole series.
Next year the mafias are taking over, whether they are the mafias in Thailand (Mafia Leurd Mungkorn) or the mafias in Japan (Rising Sun Series.) So goodbye gentlemen and hello..gangstas?

If you care for spoilers and summaries of the series, you can spazz with the girls at Asianfuse. For now, I prefer to stay spoil free.
Read his bio here.
hahaha I too,am excited about this series! Wait, i think everyone is 555. Hopefully Andrew gets to be in here,especially with Taew, omgerd cute as* couple coming through – AGAIN . lol seriously though, Taew has been doing so good in her dramas lately and her co-stars are perfect. Can’t wait. Oh BTW, I LUV your ending sentence bout the gangstas takin over 😉 mind if i steal that saying X)
Oh Fia, you always make me laugh with your witty comments and sense of humour! we will def be overtaken my mafias nxt yr (lakorn wise) heh and im dying to watch the yakuzas at work!!
I’m so excited about Andrew’s comeback and also love his pairing with Taew. As I’m still in DKD fever and so happy about the Andrew news I started to rewatch Tang Parn Kammathep.
So let the mafias taking over, I’m so ready for this 🙂
OMG Andrew Gregson is freakin’ back! And paired up with the lovely Taew~
I enjoyed the year of gentlemen BUT I love my bad boys aka mafias 😀 How can a girl possibly resist the temptation of a uber bad boy who melts only for you!
i’m with you belle, i love me a bad boy too (ex sonny corinthos and jason quartermaine from General Hospital- haven’t watched in years bc became addicted to asian dramas). the year of the gentleman was really good w/ perfect men straight from your dreams but give me a year of the bad boys with flaws and oh so manly/macho that could melt you into a puddle!
I love him!!! I’ve been away from Chan 3 lakorns for bit…nothing has really captured my interest of late…I try it but then life happens and I lose interest, shockingly the last thing I spazzed about was FJS…but that ended too (sighs) I’m hoping either Yadech or this series will bring me back to the fold <3
Thanks for keeping us in the loop and we can spazz here with you!

ANDREW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m excited for this. First off all the lakorns I’m looking forward to have Taew as the lead (she’s starring once again with Mario, the other lakorn being the one with Nadech – which by the way the photo’s I saw from their fitting were off the charts, they have some serious chemistry happening). Now another lakorn to add, Andrew Gregson is such a heart throb, it’s already ticked off all the right boxes so far with casting and him being a playboy 🙂 Can’t wait to see how this turns out !!.
Katherine, I was super excited to find out Taew and Nadech have a lakorn together then I found out Patricia is also in there. I was sad because Taew isn’t going to have Nadech all to herself.. So I have decided to pull myself out from watching.. or if I watch I will fast forward the Patricia and Nadech Parts.
OMG hotness. I love Taew and then add Andrew Gregson.. damn …. drool I’ve heard about Mafia Leurd Mungkorn but none of the cast interest me besides Ananda. I love Ken but he’s with Janie? I usually only watch Ken when he’s with Anne. I love Cherry and Janie but this action thing kind of put it in the ignore pile. Now I’m thinking about watching it since Ken, Ananda, and Andrew all sounds like hotness to me. Cherry, Janie, Kim, and Taew sounds like great actresses. Boy sounds funny 🙂
Very happy about Andrew’s comeback. Thanks for the news.
Hello Fia,
I’m glad to have found your website/blog as it is so hard finding an English blog on Thai lakorns. I’m not Thai so I very much am depending people like you who are kind enough to spend time recapping and translating. Thank you so much.
I will be with you on this as Andrew and Taew are my favorites. I just finished watching Khun Chai Rachanon and rewatched Cupid’s Pathway. I’m very excited to hear that Andrew is coming back to the small screen. Too excited that I have done poster after poster on these 2. 😀
Looking forward to your future posts.
If really Andrew it will be very nice!!!!!! Super nice!! But I heard some source saying shakrit will take his role. If really like That I would very disappointed!!! P’deng ,p’ off pls……pursue him!!
Wow Andrew is come back, that is really great for me, thank you for come back *_*
