Why Bad Buddy and KinnPorsche are so good?
Good morning fellas,
Today, your girl, will be trying to figure out why those two shows hit home although they have almost nothing in common.
At first I was like "Okay plot-wise, clearly nothing in common", then I thought "Cast members are not the same, some locations could be the same but it's almost imposible to figure it out, WHAT IS IT?"
I went back, again and again, at some point my brain started working and said "Bro, look at the teams behind the shows."
Now, obviously, I've studied the main members of the teams (like the directors and the screenwritters) but my ass never connected the dots because I'm obviously stupid.
Lets start with Bad Buddy.
Surprise surprise we all know that the director was P'Aof, ever wondered who the assistant directors were? If you're familiar with people who have worked on big thai projects (either under GMMTV or Nadao Bangkok) those names will sound familiar.
Assistant Directors
P'Au, check his work here, as you can see he has worked on a lot of projects, including ATOTS, either directing or screenwritting.
P'Aom, check his work here, he happens to be the cast director for a lot of our fave shows.
P'Aea, check out his work here, also part of the ATOTS team, you've probably seen him make cameos here and there in GMMTV shows.
P'Pepzi, check her work here, with this you feel like this name is scratching your brain, AND YOU'RE RIGHT! We will elaborate later though.
Screenwritters
P'Best, check his work here, he has worked as a screenwritter on a bunch of shows, mainly working with P'Aof and P'Jojo, he's also a writter and has a few published novels.
P'Pratchaya, check his work here, he's a very known and respected screenwritter. I admire him a lot.
P'Bee, check his work here, again, if this name rings a bell, YOU'RE RIGHT.
Lets continue with KinnPorsche.
Directors
P'Pepzi, oh oh, a familiar name! Yes, it's the same person. After Bad Buddy she went straight to KP and then jumped to Mama Gogo, she's amazing!
P'Khom, check his work here, another familiar name you say. First of all P'Khom is an award winning director, he has worked on so many amazing projects either as a director or a screenwritter (OR BOTH). He also played Uncle Tong in Bad Buddy and that's just *chefs kiss*. I will also not fail to mention that he adopted baby Tuan (Vegas' hedgehog). He's a delight in general.
P'Pond, KinnPorsche was his first official project, and he had a double, if not triple role. He was both a director and a screenwritter. But do you know who P'Pond happens to be? The CEO of BOC.
Screenwritters
P'Pond, as mentioned before.
P'Ning, KP was also her first official project because she also happens to be a Lecturer at the Department of Dramatic Arts from Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Arts, an amazing woman!
P'Bee, oh my, a familiar name again. Lovely. It is the same person. At this point all I have to say is that both shows are packed with talented people.
Only a few familiar names but to me it makes so much sense. Every little detail in both shows was made with love and attention. Those people gave their everything.
I would like to apologize for not mentioning names like P'Maneerat (KP's Cinematographer), P'Tanai (BB's Cinematographer) and P'Toy (KP's Music Composer). Thank you for being a part of those teams and for your hard work, you're as special and amazing as the rest of the names mentioned.
A huge bow and a thank you to all the crew members behind those shows. Thank you for the memories. Until we meet again!
Spread the love~
