Aukus and Leng Unfazed by Love Destiny BL Remake

Aukus Vachirwichit Paisalkulwong and Leng Thanapol U-sinrap are unfazed by the Boys' Love remake of the classic series "Buppesannivas" (Love Destiny), expressing confidence in director Phibhat's vision and asserting that excellent stories deserve multiple interpretations. The remake is set to air on July 14. Century UU Entertainment (Thailand) recently launched its CUU Thailand Line-Up 2026-2027, featuring three new series at Lido Connect Hall 1. Following the event, the two leads spoke with media about their feelings ahead of the premiere.

"We're almost on air and feeling excited because we haven't seen the finished product yet," Aukus said. After viewing the teaser, he added: "It looks good, and there are so many cute scenes we shot together."

Leng expressed similar enthusiasm: "I'm very excited and want to see the full episode. It'll be great watching it with everyone on July 14."

When asked about the filming experience, Leng noted this is his first period drama role. "I'll be showing audiences a new side of me in a period setting. The costumes, the way of life—it's all different from my usual contemporary roles. The dialogue and everything are period-appropriate, which makes it really interesting to follow."

Aukus highlighted the challenges of the period setting: "It's different for me because it's a period piece with different language and many other elements. Playing someone from an earlier era is completely new. I had to prepare extensively—learning to ride horses, handling swords, understanding the language. It's not something you can improvise; it requires memorization and understanding. We were fortunate to have director Phibhat, who directed the previous version, guiding us through the details to ensure each scene felt complete."

Leng praised the director's professionalism: "Director Phibhat is very clear about what he wants in each scene—the character's motivations and needs. He has a clear vision for himself and the story, which helps us align with his perspective. Working with such a professional crew feels like an honor."

When asked about the language difficulty, Aukus acknowledged: "It's challenging. We're modern people used to speaking simply for clarity, but period language has different phrases and structures that can't be improvised. We relied on Director Phibhat for these details."

Regarding how the story reflects Thai culture—with traditional costumes, food, and customs—Leng shared: "As a Thai person, I learned basic history in school, but being on set felt like truly understanding that era and seeing its charm from a new angle."

Aukus added: "You get to see the origins of things—like how banana chips or dried banana came to be—woven into the narrative itself."
