Ann Thongprasom

                           




I just finished watching my fave actress's lakorn (thai soap) and it was awesome! I knew it wouldn't disappoint. Her comedies never disappoint. Plus the actor playing along side her is my fave actor and they go so well together. I've watch 3 lakorns with the two of them together and it is great. All three were great movies.




Ann is my all time favorite Thai actress. I've seen her since she was at least a teenager, now she is around 32? The first lakorn I saw was Jao Jorm which was probably way back in early 90! It was a great one. After that one i've followed her ever since. You know how it is when you find a special talented actress/actor? She's not only talented but she is a great person too. Building a school for poor kids and doing many charities, some actors/actresses don't do that, but she does and she makes sure she is hands on. If some of you watched her you would be a fan too. Her acting is incredible. Even if she was doing a silly, annoying lakorn/movie, it wouldn't be because of her, no matter what it is she makes it look great, not to mention that her beautiful face helps too!



Just like this last lakorn i just finished, Soot Saneha (recipe of love) her character in this movie is suppose to be this silly, none caring, selfish person. She cares only about her self, she is spoiled and everything you can imagine. She thinks she can get away with everything and she likes taking short cuts! With any other actress i think they would have killed it, meaning they would have made the movie annoying but with her in it playing that part, she makes it fun to watch! It was hilarious. She's like that, but inside she is a good person. The story is about this selfish, careless and spoiled actress who made her reputation so tarnished because of her ways she ends up not finding any jobs for 2 years!



But when a handsome rich guy gives her a job offer to be his host for a cooking show she takes it. Only because she is reaching her 30s and all her entertainment friends are married and so she feels it is time for her to do the same (she's all for drama and being in the news) so she feels hooking this guy will bring her back to the entertainment world and plus he's rich and hott! What she doesn't know is that he is not rich, his dad was and now that his mom has used every penny they've got, him and his mom are going to use her to get rich...they are trying to hook her so she will marry him and his mom can use more of her money. So she takes the job, but there's only one problem! She can't cook! Never cooked in her life!



So enters Din, the chef her lawyer (he is also Din's best friend) has hired to teach her how to cook. So she uses him to teach her how to cook the food that the show is to be showcasing.  She cooks it for the show but right after she'll hide it and bring out the actual one that Din has cooked because hers taste awful. So the story just follows her trying to keep this job and learning how to cook so she can get her boss to fall for her. She is so into this whole theory of finding the perfect man and marrying him and having the whole world see it that she doesn't realize that he isn't the one for her at all. In fact the one she really has been looking for is right there in front of her, but it'll take her many food fights, arguments and a wake up call to finally realize that. What she doesn't know is that her "dream guy" is actually married and has a kid, but he is not with her because his mom disapprove of her because she is poor. But he goes behind his mom's back and go see his girlfriend and kid every chance he gets. And to top that off, his girlfriend is Din's best friend too! Are you following along here? ;-) This lakorn has so many funny scenes that my husband and I were cracking up every few minutes. The main actress and her troubles! And Din always there to cover it up or help. The reason why she is like that is because she was raised by 3 aunts (her mother died and her father wanted to raise her but her aunts wouldn't let him-her mother and father were not married) First aunt was a mean person, she would analyze everything, from the house to the servants to little things like colors and things like that. So she also developed those traits. Her second aunt would rate things. She would rate each servant by their performance, she'd rate tv shows, she's basically rate everything and anything and so Alin (that's the main actress name) would rate everything too! And finally her third aunt, she was a drama major, meaning she is so dramatic. She takes everything as if it were a drama. She's what you would call a drama queen. And Alin is like that too, dramatic in every way. So you can imagine how it is to deal with that plus add in 3 personality into one person, how much chaos would that be? This lakorn had me up some nights till 3 am!!! But well worth it.



I also love the actor in this lakorn, Ken Theeradej...he is so handsome and he is a great actor too. I only have 2 or 3 fave actor in Thailand. Number 1 is Ken, #2 is Tik Jeedsedaporn and #3 is well see i don't know guess i only have 2. The rest are ok i guess. My fave actress in Thailand is #1 Ann Thongprasom and that's it. I usually only watch if she is playing the main part. If not, i probably won't, not because i don't like the others, i just don't want to see the other actresses play, because most of em are newbies and lets just say they don't really do a good job at it. And plus most lakorns in Thailand are like 13 or more episodes and some are just so long.



Now if the lakorn has both Ann and Ken, oh yeah you know i will definitely be watching.



This is another lakorn of Ann and Ken i watched 2 years ago. This one was #1 in Thailand and it was soo hilarious! They are soo good together!This one is about her being a well sought after model and him as the photographer. One night they go out to celebrate and he goes into the wrong room and you know what happens. After a few weeks she finds out she's pregnant. She tries to hide it by going to American to live with her dad but news breaks out when the vilian actress of the lakorn sees her trying to cover her stomach one time at a photo shoot. She talks to him (which by the way they both hate each other) and her friend suggest that they tell the press that they indeed are having a baby and will marry soon. She doesn't like the idea but does it anyways. So story is base around them living together and making sure the press thinks that they are in love. Plus she has another guy that wants her so he has to try to get that guy to stay away. Her best friend is in love with the rich guy who wants her (forgot her name in this lakorn) Some time in the middle of the lakorn they both (main characters) starts falling in love with each other. But they face many obstacles first.

This is the lakorn that introduced me to Ken!


What a hottie huh?


I wish some of my American friends could watch it with me, they would be addicted. They do have these lakorns with American subtitles!!!! Anyone????? I wouldn't mind translating either! Hahahaha!!!!
 
This is a movie she did a few years back. This one is a tear jerker! A story of loss and true love. Any one interested in watching this with me, let me know. I will translate too! ; )


Wow didn't think this post would be long but i wanted to at least give acknowledge to a great actress! She is great in every thing that she plays! She puts in 200% in every movie and lakorn she plays and I can't wait to see her next project!

Now if only that wish of mine would come true! I only wish to at least be half as beautiful as she is!!!!

Do they have them in subtitles? I love watching foreign films so maybe I would like these too! BTW: I LOVE Thai food...love it! You should post some more recipes on here sometime too, I would love to try!

yes some of the thai films and lakorn have subtitles. The reason i say film and lakorn is because they are different. Film is like movie here, one dvd and that's it. Lakorn means it comes in episodes. Which means one episode can be about an hr or hr 1/2 long and some ends at 10 or more episodes. Thai lakorns are like American soaps but it has an ending. You should try Thai horror, it will scare the pants out of you!!! I watched one last night and i was seeing it in my sleep! I really love the movie i posted with my fave actress, The Letter! It is a great movie, kinda like the notebook. I think they have that in subtitles, let me find out. I'd love for you to see that one! I'll try to post recipes of thai food, there are some that i really like. Thai and Lao food are pretty similar!

I think you are talking about the soufflé? It's a dessert right? That is the only one i could remember her cooking for the competition.

I absolutely agree with you about Ann and Ken and their lakorn. I have just watched them recently. The lakorn sawang biang had me up even the whole night. I want to watch more of their lakorn. I'm going to see the letter. I'm also being impressed by Ann's beauty and Ken's smile. Do you ever watch their lakorn "365 days of love". You should watch it.
