Reasons to Love First Kanaphan: A Prodigy in Thai BL Industry [ Part 3 ]

First Kanaphan Puitrakul is gradually becoming one of the best thailand actors right now, who is still emerging to fame, with his exceptional acting skills, charismatic presence, and heart-winning smile.

As an absolute fan of his works, today my mission is to encourage everyone to discover him, to feel the strongest emotions through his acting, and witness another fascinating actor rise up in the industry through his hard works, relentless dedication, and talent.

Check Out: The Previous Reason Here.

Stay tuned for I'll be posting each reason once in a while. Otherwise it would be a pretty lengthy blog, and I honestly I cannot just squeeze everything about him in one place. So, here we go!

Reason 3:

First's Versatility in "The Shipper" Series

The Shipper is First's one of those first GMMTV shows he casted on. If you're looking for the finest acting this young man has ever brought to the table, go watch "The Shipper". It is nearly impossible to bring that much perfection to the role he had been assigned to. But again, it was only possible, because First was played that role.

Imagine how phenomenal of an actor he can be, who has successfully portrayed the soul of a young girl in the body of a boy. He, himself being a man, pulled it off effortlessly with his small girly gestures, adorable feminine squeaks, awkwardness of being around a man, and much more left to describe.

I can't possibly explain the amount of love and respect I have for him, especially because of his acting in this show.

Furthermore, he is such a humorous actor who makes us smile and laugh. Be it in real life or his acting, he brings out a quirky side to every character he plays in. When Pan was in Kim's body, the entire show was packed with the iconic "EHHHH" dialogue. Eventhough I've watched the compilation a hundred times, it still makes me smile the same way I saw it the first time. I am too much in love with this man - it's ineffable at this point. He will make a fantastic actor from the comedic roles, to the deepest mature roles. That's how versatile and genius of an actor he is.

That's it for day!

See you next time with the next reason!

i wonder why khaotung was willing to do fanservice with podd in daily basis but not with first 🤔 i guess when you love someone is hard to pretend

So, the following are speculations and should not be taken as gospel, ok?

I think part of the reason is First is actually quite shy off-screen 😅. I mean, he would do the required promos (i.e. his job) with whoever his on-screen partner at that time (be it Fluke from The Shipper and Gawin in Not Me) but during the interviews/events, you could see he malfunctioned (so shy!) whenever Gawin/Fluke tries and flirt with him.

Khaotung has the advantage of being his bestie and he is the Yin to his Yang (or whatever you want to call it). But even with that advantage, First (more than Khaotung) tends to break into a giggly mess/goosebumps whenever they do everything fanservice-y (that boy can't even keep his face straight in the BTS pictures for all their projects - as you can already tell whenever he does something naughty with Khaotung)

Early on their CP, I get the impression Khaotung defers to First and follow his cue. They were trying to find the dynamics they wanted to show to the fans. Nowadays, the boys have established a happy equilibrium (and realised the fans that love/follow them are happy for FK to just show their usual, clingy soulmate besties shenanigans, which they are already doing off-screen to do it on-screen as well)

I mentioned previously (in a different ask), our boys are terrible in promoting themselves on social media. They admitted themselves they are not addicted to social media (during the GMMTV 2024 Part 2 interview, post-THK trailer launch) and in fact will be relying on JoongDunk to do the social media bit 🙃

During PoddKhao, it's likely Podd was the one who encouraged Khao to join in the fanservice. Otherwise, Khao just probably won't bothered. Do I have any proof of this? Not really 🤣. But I am linking this adorable interview during PoddKhao era - where Khaotung actually said he is not a sweet person and does not cry easily (I guess he is only sweet to First + cries/becomes emotional with his soulmate instead?)

Anyway, as much as I like PoddKhao and FirstGawin/FirstFluke/ FirstMix (look, First can have chemistry with anyone ok? Like if he says he is in love with a rock, I will believe him) - I am a FirstKhaotung gal, through and through 😉

finally watched ep10.

so many emotions, but mostly....

No Thoughts just DanYok protecting each other. I've replayed that damn scene ten times and haven't even finished the episode yet.

(also give Gun a damn Oscar. This man is the best there is. How can I love White and want to smack Black?)

[teamsarawatshusband]

Wow, one glimpse and Yok is infatuated with Dan.

I had not expected this insane chemistry from Fluke and First, but I’m not complaining.

A New Year Means an Updated List

of the Best actors BL has to offer. As with last time, for this list I will only consider actors who have had Main/2nd Main Couple roles in one or more BL-related series and/or films. Purple = new entry or higher ranking from the previous list. Red = lower ranking from the previous list.

Tier 1 - Phenomenal actors who make you believe fully in their characters. These actors have only a few weaknesses but numerous strengths. They evoke empathetic responses, making you feel what the characters feel. The actors in this group can compete with the best actors outside of the genre.

Gun Atthaphan

Billkin Putthipong

Wayne Song

Nanon Korapat

Tier 2 - A full step above Tier 3 actors, these actors are convincing in their roles but struggle with one significant aspect of acting. These actors are typically excellent in emotionally intense scenes, but struggle with light-hearted scenes (rarely vice-versa). There is a recurrent awareness of the fact that these actors are acting that limits suspension of disbelief at times.

Krist Perawat

Fluke Natouch

Ohm Pawat

First Kanaphan

Fiat Pattadon

Singto Prachaya

White Nawat

Off Jumpol

Tier 3 - Above-average actors in the BL genre that do well enough to make you care about their characters. Their characters seem natural and charismatic but there is typically a feeling that these actors are simply playing themselves a lot of the time, which can distract from their characters' stories.

Max Nattapol

Neo Trai

Tay Tawan

Charles (Shan-Tsun) Tu

Rookie Watch - Rookie BL actors who need practice in key areas, but still offer Tier 3 (and at times above)-level acting. These actors are the ones to watch 2-3 years down the line to adequately judge their growth.

Mix Sahaphap

Phuwin Tangsukyuen

Win Metawin

Santa Pongsapak

Honorable Mentions - Actors who do one or two things really well and have great potential but generally float around average.

*PP Krit

Pod Suphakorn

Zee Pruk

Note: *honestly don't know how to rank PP, b/c I feel he's not T1, I haven't seen enough to say he has the range for T2, but he doesn't have the 'I'm just playing myself' vibe of T3 despite being just as skilled than most of the T3 actors.
