Before Bagrak Soi 9 On Stage


Last Saturday, I went to see "Before Bangrak Soi 9 on Stage" (ก่อนจะเป็นบางรักซอย9) a drama of the sitcom sequel hit "Bangrak Soi 9" of Thai Channel 9 TV. As being a true fan of this series, I have been watching and collecting all of its VCD since episode 1. Now the series come up to year 5 already. I wouldn't miss a chance like this.

It a pre-sequel story of the before becoming the show on TV. It's a story of the two person, "Chadjane and Khun Pang" that they both actually met (on the old fashion technology of chatting by using paper-based mail" and fell in love without even met. The story gave clues on why "Ah Tu" (Khun Page's father become a henpecked (กลัวเมีย), How Chadjane became the boyfriend of "Miew", and How Chajane ended up renting a house from "Na Yao".

It's a fun and relax weekend of mine. The shows delivered what I expected. However, all the comedy gag was from the script, I still enjoy it. Some says it's a bit dull as the scene progressed too slowly. Some say it's very predictable. Any how, it's still a good way to let go of the stress.

One thing that struck me from the story was that the house where "Khun Pang" and her family was staying in Soi 19 was conceded by a bank before moving to another house in Soi9. But according to the main theme of Bangrak Soi 9, the house they are living in the series belonged to her grandfather who was a high ranking officer in the reign of the old king, not just a recently moved in.
