Five beautifully crafted character posters for 'In The Name of Love' (original Thai title: Aht Charoen Wan Thong) have been unveiled, introducing audiences to a toxic romance epic. The film marks the first production from Black Dragon Entertainment and features an impressive cast bringing to life the legendary tale of Nang Wan Thong. The movie will hit theaters on September 3rd.

Each of the five posters features stunning character imagery set against painted murals from Wat Pa Lalai K Worrawihan, illustrating the interconnected love stories of Wan Thong, Khun Phan, and Khun Chang, while revealing each character's unique definition of true love.

Director Muk Piyakan discussed the casting process, explaining how seeing the temple paintings immediately brought Ink Warunthorn to mind. She praised his natural talent, recounting how he delivered a powerful monologue and moved her to tears on his first take, before even receiving the complete script. Regarding the roles of Khun Phan and Khun Chang, the director intentionally created contrasting characters—Khun Phan as a traditionally masculine figure, while Khun Chang embodies tenderness as Wan Thong's refined confidant.

Mak was selected to portray Khun Phan because the director sought a quintessentially Thai masculine presence, which she found rare in contemporary casting. Having noticed Mak's interest in classical Thai literature, she reached out with the script, and he accepted the role.

Gulf, who plays Khun Chang, impressed the director during auditions with his natural reactions and willingness to challenge himself—he even requested to audition for the Khun Phan role. His commitment was evident in his lengthy four-hour audition session.

For the role of Sai Thong, the director wanted to create a character with distinctive dimensions and sensual qualities reflecting the fantasies of male writers from that era, ultimately casting Prim for her magnetic screen presence.

Fay brings comedic flair to the character of Jan Son. The director reinterpreted this character as potentially progressive for his time—a man born in the wrong era who nonetheless excels within his circumstances.
