Suphot Sornsiri

An elder leader of an ethnic musician group wills to teach his daughters authentic musical ways. He struggles to do so because they like indie music and many guys try to win over them.

Tas Rak Asoon is a classic love-hate drama in the vein of veteran director Pisarn Akarasenee, which Mum has made in his own, slapstick way. Sporting a new pirate-like look, Mum also stars in the film as Nai-hua Perm, a heartless man who seeks vengeance against the family responsible for the death of his sister. Also starring in Tas Rak Asoon are 27-year-old actress Savika Chaiyadej (Pinky), who plays a spoiled rich kid, and 31-year-old sexy star Lukkana Wattanawongsiri (Aum), who plays an island girl named Jet Ski. Throughout the film, the two women fight for the affections of Nai-hua Perm.

The romantic comedy set in the Northeastern province of Yasothon. Billed as an Isaan version of Romeo and Juliet, the film’s cast this time around includes Mum’s own wife, Endoo Wongkamlao, adding to Mum’s son and relatives who all play a part. With its simple narrative of starcrossed lovers and sparring families, the crazy clown caper somewhat lives up to expectations.
