Shine News
We have a synopsis!
Set between 1969 and 1971
ตฤณ / Trin - an economist
ธันวา / Thanwa - a free spirited hippy
☮️✌️👓📚
No news of who is playing who yet but a lot of people are assuming Apo will be Trin because he mentioned in one interview that he would be playing a smart character.
Now, I am open to either possibility, I'm sure they will both eat any role they play BUT I am a little disappointed that no one seems to consider the possibility that a hippy can ALSO be a smart person.
Especially as the synopsis makes it seem like Thanwa will be broadening Trin's horizons.
Consider the time period, Thanwa is very likely to be an educated young man, possibly a student so the fact that he is a part of the counter culture movement does not imply he won't have any academic merits.
But again, I'll be happy with whatever happens although the part of me that is always longing for a return of long haired Apo makes me think the hippy role is more likely to deliver that.

SHINE (A SEQUEL TO MAN SUANG)
THE SERIES IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN BE ON CLOUD AND THAILAND'S MINISTRY OF COMMERCE.
"The premise is based on "hope and happiness". The hope of what Chat and Khem would want to be as a pair. This will coincide with Thailand's marriage equality legislation that the government hopes to pass in 2024. The series is set in King Rama's III-IV reign, when Thailand started trading with foreign countries. The idea is to subtly place Thai products from around the country in the series as a way to showcase and increase interest in them."
Apo: The film is serious, but Chat and Khem's relationship is not touched on much, there's some mysteries about Man Suang, and other characters?"
Mile: I've never brought out the romantic in me that much in past projects, so this my chance to be an all-out-romantic.
