As far as I know, Kob's first choice was 'no' for the lakorn "Plerng Pranaang" even before they announced the other wanted cast.
For me personally, Kantana really want an A-List cast so I assume w/ Kob turning them down the first time they sought for help from Khun Dang the head of channel 7 (even though the news stated that they ask for permission), for me asking Khun Dang to get Kob to work for them is like telling Khun Dang to force Kob to act in that lakorn, since Kob respect Khun Dang alot, and sometimes with her orders, Kob can't really say no.
But really, this is enough remake for Kob in a straight year. Hopefully she'll just turn her head aside for "Plerng Pranaang." The elders of channel 7 should give her a break already too because she's been doing what they want for the past 10 + years and rarely do they let her have a say in it. I find it a disrespectful that they ignored her first choice when she said 'no' to "Plerng Pranaang."

Back to Silamanee....
I love how Chalee in this version isn't as aggressive. In the old version he was physically abusive at times toward men and women. For this version, Chalee is a sweetheart toward all girls. Well just have to see later on if his anger rises or not.
For Saengfarng's aunt and uncle stealing the thrown. I don't think it'll ever happen. It has been showcase that the people of Chiangrath are proud and loyal people. I had never seen anyone who was greedy, everyone always thought of what was good for their country. They never would put their wants before the country.
Jao Saibordee and Saengfarng's scenes are adorable, each time they're together they speak the northern dialect. And they're relationship is cute because they share everything with each other and always keep each other up-to-date even though they only get to see each other once or twice a year.
Here's our Peeping-Paul. Haha. Next episode!
Kob's sizzling...
