As the Cupid Series come to a close, with its light and sweet taste of love to celebrate another one of Channel 3’s milestones, we will be greeted with a stronger dose of savory love in the latter half of 2017- and the lakorn lineup has gotten me so excited, I can barely contain myself.
The channel hosted Perd Gong Wic 3 ‘Move Forward Three Gether’ and released some of the highly anticipated lakorn teasers. I am happy to say that my anticipated lakorns have made it on the list!
To tickle our funny bone:
Leh Lub Salub Rarng – Yaya and Nadech in a body swapping lakorn. If this is anything like Secret Garden’s bodyswapping, get ready for some laughs. We got alpha male versus ultra feminine, the contrast shall make it extra FIN – oh I meant FUN ☺
Por Yoong Loong Mai Wang – Pope and Mew in what seems to be a funny and cute storyline. Pope gets custody of his nephew but has no idea what he’s doing (story of my life, although my children are my own) and hires a nanny (Mew) AND falls for her of course (how could you not). They’ll form a family of sorts – cue waterworks if this is as touching as it is cute.
To Get Our Blood Boiling:
Plerng Boon – the love triangle Janie, Bella and Pong, only it’s dramatic times ten. Janie wants what Bella’s having, which is Pong, so tug of war ensues. Let’s hope we get out of this twisted love triangle in tact.
Sai Tarn Hua Jai – James Ma and Mint (oh my it’s a year of koo jins!) and I’m not complaining. It looks like an underdog storyline, which you can read here.
Taking Us to The Fantasy/Boran World:
Rak Nakara – which is more than your average love triangle with Taew and Mew (who are sisters. Please don’t fight!) and the town’s livelihood in jeopardy. (I say the girls should just choose each other over Mark).
Buang Banjathorn – Mario and Mai Davika, fantasy between past and present time. Excited to see this reunion since Pee Mak the movie.
And then wring our tears in a couple of melos:
Likit Ruk aka The Crown Princess – with Yaya and Nadech again, but they take on an entirely different characters and story – this one is about love amidst the social status differences. Let’s just hope it’s not one where they’re separated in the end. And if they are, I want it to make sense and hurt real good. Sounds promising because Yaya said that the script is one that she cannot refuse. Well then, I can’t wait.
Rarerng Fai – Noon and Ken! It’s Ken, need I say more? I miss this handsome face. Sounds like a marriage of convenience plot plus some good old traditional lakorn, slap/kiss variety.
And then a couple of other lakorns that I’m not sure I’ll be watching, but has some new actors:
Ruk Gun Punlawan with Nine Naphat and Ice
Sanae Ruk Nang Sin with Alek and Preem
Ngern Pak Pee with Por, Eye and Denkhun (looks too scary)
What are YOU excited about?
I’m surely looking forward to….
Leh Lub Salub Rarng – have been waiting for this one for quite some time. I’m sure it will be a good laugh.
Rarerng Fai – Of course anything of Ken! 😀
Likit Ruk – I’m not a big fan of melodrama. But will give it a try and see it’s to my liking. Maybe just watching it for the koo jin.
And also Rak Gan Phalawan & Sanae Rak Nang Sin – the two rom-com which you might or might not watch! 😛
I literally want to watch them ALL!!!!! Looking forward to both Nadech and Yaya the most!!
Have only been lookin forward to the NY lakhorns and “Sai tarn hua jai” starring Mint and James Ma!!!!So happy to see the teasers!!!!
soooooooooooo looking forward to watching Plerng Boon and Por Yoong Loong Mai Wang but I think I’m looking MORE forward to Plerng Boon. =)
thank you for all the update _/\_
I’m looking forward to all. Those teasers were good. Good bye sleep 😂😂😂
This all looks interesting. I just pray to the high heavens than any of this gets subbed. Beggars cant be choosers.. haha!
Plerng Boon: I’m hoping Janie’s character can be more than the typical crazy rai and we can get some interesting/conflicting dynamics between the 3 main characters instead of the usual nutjob keeps OTP apart for 12ep.
Rarerng Fai: Ken’s been playing nice guys recently (at least those I paid attn to!) that I forgot how delicious he is when fierce and/or a jerk. XD
Forgot to ask, any expected air dates indicated for the lakorns?
Plerng Boon should air in July and Leh Lub Salub Rarng in August. No specific air dates for the rest, just that they will air before the end of the year 🙂 I’ll tweet more info when I know more.
Yay! I also just realise… is this Pong’s first lakorn with Ch3? So he’s a free agent now?
I’m not sure. He was exclusive to poly plus/exact so that’s why he could play for different channels since it’s based on the production team. So not sure if he was borrowed this time around or if he’s free- but this will be his first appearance on channel 3 lakorn. Speaking of Pong, he’s currently in the states!
Honestly I wish actors aren’t tied to specific channel so that we can see variety in pairings. It’s great seeing the ladies (Bella, Janie) of ch3 paired up with a different partner, and one as talented as Pong.
I’m excited for the upcoming lakorns. It’s been a min since Kluen Cheevit. Haven’t gotten hooked on anything as of late. I’m a little sad they are making two “feel good” classics – Rak Nakara and Buang Banjathorn 🙁 I wouldn’t say they are my all time favorites but I like classics to stay..you know, in the classic category. I hope the remakes doesn’t disappoint. So far, I’m excited for Yaya and Nadech’s lakorns. I miss them. I hope I can juggle mommy-life, work, pregnancy, summer – life in all, with some of these new lakorns. The struggle is real!
Same. Been there (the pregnant and toddler part) and it doesn’t get easier. Whoever says it is are lying. I wouldn’t wish a newborn and toddler on anyone. People ask me how I’m doing and I just tell them that the kids are thriving and the parents are surviving. 🙂 But the new crops of lakorns will surely help the sleep deprivation less.. depriving?
I’m more excited being off on maternity leave and sit around like a bum with mommy responsibilities. I hate work! lol
