Entertainment Scoop – 'Ben-Jeda' Team Up for Detective Action Comedy in 'Cruel Love Song'

Channel 7HD presents a new action-drama-comedy series "Cruel Love Song" from Gold CP.G Entertainment, based on a story by Khon Nam Khem with television adaptation by Phukhao. The series is directed by and stars Ekkachai Rungsiroj Pantpeng alongside leading man Ben Santirat Kulnaphakiatti, who plays 'Chaiya,' a skilled young detective. This marks his first on-screen pairing with actress Jeda Sranya Chunjaisathit, who portrays 'Poona,' a beautiful aspiring singer. The supporting cast includes Ris Wichyapong Iamsaad as Manas, Mint Phortiva Sakharchun as Maria, Pul Poolpat Atthapassyapol as Sorrak, and famous Luk Thung singer Fon Thanasunthorn in the roles of Wilai and Aronong.

"Cruel Love Song" tells the story of Poona, a talented young woman who dreams of becoming a singer but is instead sent to infiltrate a music label to uncover the truth behind her parents' deaths—a case potentially linked to criminal networks. Meanwhile, Chaiya, a young police detective, receives a secret mission to go undercover investigating the same case, pretending to be a YouTuber. Their misunderstandings gradually blossom into romance, but as they get closer to the truth, obstacles multiply. The chemistry between Ben and Jeda promises to deliver an entertaining ride.

Ben Santirat shared: "In this role, I play Chaiya, a detective sent to tackle drug trafficking by a powerful figure in a village. I'll be undercover as a YouTuber conducting the investigation. This series has plenty of action sequences in the style of director Akhlorn Phoncharoen, who has collaborated with Ekkachai for a long time. That blend of Akhlorn's signature style with Ekkachai's direction creates something contemporary and well-balanced. The story is rich in flavor and features beautiful songs that match the title. As for whether I'll sing with Jeda, I'll let you discover that by watching. We've worked together before on 'Kwang Thang Buen,' but this is our first time playing opposite each other. There's good chemistry with no need for adjustment—Jeda is talented and dedicated, especially when it comes to singing. Please tune in!"

Jeda Sranya added: "I play Poona, who dreams of becoming an artist and singer. I was raised by my uncle, Ekkachai, who discouraged me from pursuing music. This creates mystery about why he opposed my involvement in the industry—a key thread in the story. Poona is a fighter, a bit rebellious, but deeply caring toward family and friends. She has some action scenes, though not as many as Ben's. I'm thrilled to work with Ben again and play opposite him for the first time. We already have good rapport, and Ben is as charming as ever. We'll constantly exchange ideas about how to play each scene. I hope you'll watch 'Cruel Love Song'—it's entertaining, beautifully made, and features wonderful songs. Stay tuned to see if Poona achieves her dream of becoming a singer!"
