here is some of my translation ok.. it was kinda difficult.. my thaiglish isn't so great..
*******************************************************************
the productions welcome back two hearthrob couple: Captain Phuthaneth and Aom Phiyada
Boyd: Project of Keaw Leum Kon is a project that is very interesting because it is a big project, you can call it the biggest film of the year because no one really make lakorns like this where it is a period lakorn dated back to 2500 (1950's), also the story is about romance, love, intense drama, it's fun and definately a must see, the set up is extravagant
son of writer: Kaew Leum Kon is my father's story that were very famous back in his time. It was a radio lakorn. My father lived near the river and that is where he got his support and ideas from, from the river market people.
Director: the story of kaew leum kon is a story of two girls who are sisters, twin but the day they were born they were seperated.. the brother of her father, younger one wanted to take over and he planned on killing the whole family.. he ordered one of the lady to drown it.. but the lady saved one baby.. the other baby was saved by sending her to her father in France.. and the other one went to live in Authiya to be a farmer so they were raised totally different and grew up different. they and no one in the story knows that they are twin.
Boyd: The other thing that comes out of this lakorn are the casts because when they play they are those people, totally those people. Like nang'ek, Aom Phiyada she plays two characters and those two characters are totally different. Jao Chitchanok who is a girl that is spoiled and have a hint of being stuck up, and sorta annoying (mahn sai) but not like she looks non appealing but she has some cuteness to it, she's both cute and annoying at the same time. But when she plays as Kaew, she become someone who we feel sorry for, when Aom cries, we can't help but to cry with her without realizing it. Our pra'ek, khun Captain, um yes that's definately him, in his character there's that (goun goun) stubborn annoyingness and also the jealous and enviness with the nang'ek.... khun Poowanoowut (the other pra'ek), his mission is to find the heir but instead he fell in love with her, his niece but not his real niece, it's like he seen her since she was born (not sure which she he meant.. chitchanok or kaew), Off Pongpichad is a great bad guy, Jarunee is the greatest just like her reputation, her eyes in each scene definately tell us what the character is currently feeling.
script writer (son): what is the interesting part of this lakorn? it's because it is a melodrama in the old time. a real melodrama of old time that people are interested in following which now include modern ways of telling it.
Boyd: it's difficult to make and expensive... it's a thai drama that has melodrama and fits in with thai people and can have fun while watching it.
Let's go to the cast: Aom, Captain, Poo, Off
Aom: I play Chitchanok and Kaew, the difference is that one live in the highest place and one live in the lowest place like one lives in another country with privilages however the other one has such a difficult life that the other cast said if it was them, they would killed themselves already... At first I was stressed about playing two person but after that when i start to play and play the other character it's just like playing a whole different character. the hard part is actually when i play with another character such as Captain, he say his line then i say mine, end of story.. but when i play with my other character, one of my character will say a line but the other character wont say it back, i would have to go into another scene in order to say the line. So i have to think, how am i going to do this. It's difficult.
host: so if there is two nang'ek there has to be two pra'ek.. let's talk to the younger generation pra'ek first (meaning younger as in age)
Captain: he's annoying, stubborn, playful. (just like his fah pieng din character)
Aom: playful not like p'tain right?
Captain: nope
Aom: ohh ok
Captain: when i'm in the house in front of family, i'm proper as if i was gayish but that is how the hi-so guys are back then. However when i go outside i'm annoying, stubborn, playful, the devil may care. It's not totally gayish (thoong thing) but more properlike. Reason why I have to be like that so my grandmother wont know how bad I am really.
lol. . he played that role really really well. . lol. .
next pra'ek
Poo: I am the god brother of the nang'eks mother and also the body guard of their father who is loyal and always protect jao chitchanok since she was very little.
the bad guy
Host: I heard that p'Off played this role so greatly,
Off: I have so little line, I think the producer don't like me. I dont have that many lines at all. I am a hitman of the uncle that wants to kill the nang'ek (Ah'Moo). I just shoot.
[ i skip alot of stuff ok.. way way too much to translate.. but the other characters talk about their own roles ect ect ]
Host: the scripts are so much that there were rumors that the nang'ek almost bailed... the other team cast said that you almost bailed.
Aom: well, kind of because of the bruises and stuff when my mom saw it she was kinda mad
Off: mad? she just bitched, yeah aom ran off and told mom (lol they're all joking) but when she told her father, he's ok
Aom: no lol when my father saw it, he's ok with it and actually proud that I give it my all and will do anything for my character to be real but my mother, she cant take it.
Captain: her father is ok because she did so much to him (as in tantrum) so it's payback time
Aom: no p'boyd said that my father probably did something so horrible to Sida (off's mother who was a nang'ek of her days) and she came to get revenge which led me to looking like this (she showed a picture of her bruises, dang it was soo horrible!)
Off: (aom gave him the picture lol i'm assuming he did it to her) yup the producer is very happy. look he's smiling.
Aom: that scene was the boat scene
Off: I think i played it safe but you kept fidgeting
Aom: lol no no I also played it real we played it too real.
Off: in this lakorn it's not only her, everyone got it too. like i got slapped by ah'moo, i was in a blur! and that was the scene that i get to talk alot but when i got slap, it was all gone. he didn't slightly slap but he full force slapped!
Host: what about you Captain? Did you get alot?
Captain: only a little bit, a slight hard tap to the head with a metal rod
Host: what about you p'Poo?
Poo: (points to Off) got a kick from him. kick right to the chest.
aww. . they all got hurt. . . haha a lil scar to member the lakorn.
Host: I heard it was so hard and diffult that they changed the name from kaew leum kon to kaew lum non(sleep).. where did this name come from?
Captain: i don't know how started that name.
Aom: I think it's me, because we really didnt get to sleep sometime we film until morning! over 50% film until morning. there was time when we would call our boss and bother him. i mean we didnt get to sleep so our boss shouldn't be sleeping peacefully either. we would call him at whatever time we finish filming
Boyd: 6 am they would call me. i look at my cell phone and it was aom.. i was scared cus i thought something bad happened but she was all laughing and stuff lol. so i udnerstand that they work so hard that they went crazy lol.
the director of this lakorn directed before: fah pieng din, leurd kattiya, and seur (no freaken wonder it will be so good!! gaurantee 5 star ratings!!)
then they go to the director to talk about the difficult of the action scenes....
Aom really love the costume, lol as for Captain, the costume totally changed him into his character, Captain and p'Poo started to whisper about the director about how he probably after revenge for giving them this hot costume to wear. Off has the simpliest clothes because he couldnt wear other stuff cus he would sweat so much.
costume designer designed for seur, leurd kattiya and mong korn diew die
next they talk about aom's father... lol they talked about the time when he was pra'ek and how he did so much to other nang'ek that now it's payback time even though it's not on purpose so now they call the director pisad since his name is San(lol aom's father is pisan so they think that the director is his long lost brother lol) then they talk about how the director is so weird that he would use night time to be a daytime scene and vice versa. next they talk about the song that aom plays for the director regarding her kaew scenes (its the song to plai kow.. if anyone don't know that song. it's freaken sad! lol)... then they talk about food.. captain loves som tum pala ( the REAL som tum lol)
host: even though the storyline is very sad but the cast always laugh which makes it easier for everyone..
then they talk about how everyone feels about the team cast...
next they talk about the scenaries...
the director then talk about how sometime he thought he was too much but all the cast said not to worry.. even aom herself told him to just do it and if she cant or have enough she will tell him herself.. he was very impress and thankful to her for that.. there was one scene when aom had to drown and captain had to save her.. at first he was afraid to play it so real but captain was willing to give it the real thing and he was very much impressed...
then aom started to talk about p'Off lol about how he's very carefree and not really mean.
