Behind the Scenes - Director Fuse Kittisak Reveals Secrets of the '4 Elements Baan Watin Wanich' Series

Two episodes have already aired for the sapphic-themed series '4 Elements Baan Watin Wanich' on 7HD, produced by North Star Production. The first installment 'Vivah Pathom' stars Apple Lapisara and Mim Pandittha, followed by 'Ntee Roy Leh' featuring Ingfah Waraha and Charlotte Austin. The latest episode 'Senha Wayao' stars Freen Sarocha and Becky Rebecca, currently airing every Saturday at 8:30 PM on 7HD, with the final installment 'So Rak Akni' starring Namneung Milenya and Ney Kantheera.

Director Fuse Kittisak Chiwasatjassakul, who directed all four episodes, shared behind-the-scenes insights about the series. When asked about the genre, Fuse explained: 'Overall, it's a romantic-driven series about the stories of four women who are sisters with love, relationships, and deep bonds. No matter what problems each faces, they support and care for one another. It emphasizes love as the main theme, with added drama, action, and comedy in each installment.'

The first story, 'Vivah Pathom,' is a romantic drama about the love between Khun Din (Apple Lapisara) and Nong Rose (Mim Pandittha), a couple who harbored secret feelings for each other since childhood.

The second story, 'Ntee Roy Leh,' is romance-driven with action—emotional action rather than physical—interspersed with comedy. It follows the business rivalry between two hotel families: the hotel business of the family of Narm or Apo (Ingfah Waraha) and that of Chollada (Charlotte Austin), who is a young wife seeking her own identity and infiltrating the family to uncover secrets for her brother.

The third story, 'Senha Wayao,' is a romance-driven plot about a foreign princess and a Thai bodyguard who end up together. Princess Katherine, or Princess Blue (Becky Rebecca), comes to Thailand for diplomatic relations and requires a protector—Wayao or Lom (Freen Sarocha), a female police officer. An unexpected incident occurs when the princess is threatened, and criminals plan to harm the real princess and replace her with an impostor.

The final story, 'So Rak Akni,' is romance-driven with comedy as the lead. It's a very ordinary tale set in Southern Thailand featuring the character Fai (Namneung Milenya), a gang leader's child who goes by the name Noi, and Nong Kraprow (Ney Kantheera). These two characters have a shared history from childhood—Kraprow was brought to live in the same house as Fai, causing Fai to feel that Kraprow was stealing their father's love. After they reunite as adults, Fai attempts to improve their relationship, but because Fai views love as meaningless, he doesn't know how to reconcile with Kraprow. The story unfolds to reveal how they navigate this.

When asked about the appeal and challenges of creating this series, Fuse responded: 'I believe no Thai sapphic series has ever brought together eight renowned actors like this before. The challenge is figuring out how to keep audiences entertained and enjoying each individual story—what I call each house: Earth House, Water House, Wind House, and Fire House. The Earth House ('Vivah Pathom') features Apple and Mim as a new pairing. I had to make the first couple the opener, like opening the house. The difficulty with a new couple is they don't have an established fan base. What I achieved was making audiences love the characters and feel that the Earth House is worth watching and enjoyable, so they'd be ready to watch the other houses. I felt that the characters Din and Rose made viewers feel ready to open their hearts and accept them, and in the first story, we succeeded.'
