The day I return to AF from my hiatus due to my hectic schedule, and there's possible good news of a new Kim lakorn. Yay.
Since James is in here, I doubt the nang'ek is going to be a veteran. That leaves us with the younger generation, and Kim is one of the few from the younger generation who can play these types of characters very well. I think it's pretty likely that Kim will be in here.
1) Kim matches the role.
2) Kim is one of the few, if not the only actress, who's available right now.
3) Kim and James are bound to pair up sooner or later.
4) Pa Jaew has worked with Kim before, and has praised her for her acting skills. It wouldn't be a surprise if he wanted to work with her again. He even promised a KimBarry reunion (but that's besides the point :coverlaf
.
5) Noi and Pancake are both actresses with harsh features, and since some remakes cast actors and actresses based on their resemblances to the original actors and actresses, Kim would be suitable for the remake appearance wise too since she also has strong features like Noi and Pancake.
I read the synopsis and it sounds interesting. I'm just a little hesitant for two reasons:
1) I hope it's not another romantic comedy. Most of Kim's career has consisted of rom/coms and it's time she's given heavier genres to experiment and grow in. I've never seen the originals but Noi's version was apparently a drama/comedy according to wiki. If Kim is in here, I hope the genre is heavy drama, revenge, or drama/slap-kiss.
NO MORE ROMANTIC COMEDIES OR LIGHT DRAMA/COMEDIES FOR KIM. The plot is perfect as a revenge/slap-kiss lakorn since nang'ek deceives pra'ek into falling in love with her for money.
2) I kind of don't want Kim to be in here because it sounds like it'll be another one of her spoiled/bratty roles. Along with the same genres, Kim tends to get the same types of roles over and over again too. I wish she'd be offered more complex and serious roles. Although her past characters have been fierce, they've all been very childish, hot tempered and naïve. Ever since RP these are the only types of characters Kim has been getting, which makes people think she has no versatility. So if Kim is in here, I hope Pa Jaew will change the nang'ek to be fierce also, but in a mature and conniving way. I want her to be sophisticated, composed, cold and devious, not bratty, clumsy, whiny and immature. No more temper tantrums please. Give Kim a wise and rational character for once.
Out of all of Kim's roles, I'd have to say Nam is one of my favorites. Despite that being her first role, Kim was able to carry the femininity, class and intelligence of a female doctor. Nam was compassionate, mellow and sweet, yet also internally strong. I want Kim to get more roles like that again where she's not just always in people's faces and trying to get her way. Arunsri was another good Kim character. Kim as Nam and Arunsri remind me of Anne as Nalin in Sawan Biang. All are selfless and soft spoken, yet passionate and strong willed. Contrary to popular belief, I know Kim is capable of versatility, because she's given great performances in the past in roles that weren't just proud and stubborn (like her recent characters have been). I hope to see Kim given more versatile roles in the near future. I even want to see her tackle a weak and innocent character.
Anyways, this will probably be for Lakorn Thai or No Problem.
Ever since James and Kim appeared at an event together for Ch.3, I've been wanting to see them in a lakorn. Kim does look very mature for James, but hey, if Bella and James can work, so can Kim and James. Plus, who knows? Kim may be the one to bring out the best in James. Kim has that effect on her costars.
She generates chemistry with everyone, with the exception of Smart. But Smart doesn't tend to have chemistry with anyone anyways. Even Boy and Kim, who I didn't think were going to have much chemistry, and who didn't show much chemistry in pictures, were surprisingly cute in NRTR. Boy is now one of my favorite costars of Kim's, after Nadech, James Ma, and Ananda. I just need to see them in a slap-kiss lakorn and I know I'll be fangirling over them. :coverlaf:
