Last week, well-known Thai actress Laila Boonyasak said she no longer want to star in lakorns (Thai soap operas), which often depict catfights, as she says it encourages people to be brash and doesn't provide anything of value to society. She then brought up the noted Netflix Korean drama The World Of The Married Couple (which is titled A World Of Married Couple on Viu), which is getting a Thai remake with handsome Ananda Everingham (who's officially off the market) as the male lead, as examples of her preferred roles.
Laila, who is known by her old name Ploy Chermarn by people of my generation, said the official wife and the unofficial wife of the series fight for the husband without touching each other. They use words and wit to bring each other down. She said such roles make her arm hair stand more than two women catfighting over a man. She ended her statement with her wish to see progress and fresh content in Thai drama series.
