Four Stars Charm In New iQIYI Series Don't Be Too Emotional

The iQIYI Original series "Don't Be Too Emotional" has premiered, starring Tee Bunyakiart Wongsakaecham, Heng Tattapong Rojsangruang, Donut Pattrapol Dechpongsoranant, and Kor Pallat Chayutnidhirojan. We recently sat down with all four actors to discuss the series.

**Tell us about your characters in this series?**

Tee: "I play Gen Patrick, or older Gen. He's a calm, composed person who inadvertently pressures and intimidates anyone who gets close to him. He's someone the entire university talks about. He can fulfill any request, but requires fair compensation in return. The character is quite different from my real self. Since I was an athlete before, I've never acted, so I had to do considerable homework."

Heng: "I play Gen Ariy, or younger Gen. He's cute and bright, and doesn't like refusing people's requests. He tries his best to help everyone. My character differs from the real me. Younger Gen doesn't dare refuse people, so he's constantly helping others. But as I've grown older, I've learned to say no to things I'm not actually ready to help with."

Kor: "I play Puti, who's hot-tempered and cares deeply for his friends, always ready to help them. Puti's character is quite different from me. I tend to overthink things before speaking, but Puti follows his emotions and says whatever comes to mind."

Donut: "I play Dan, a simple-hearted person, the opposite of older Gen. Dan is kind-hearted and helps others without expecting anything in return. He gives positive energy and receives positive energy from others. Dan has quite a bright tone to him. Actually, I think it's somewhat similar to me in having positive energy."

**Is this your first time working together as a group of four?**

Tee: "Heng and I did a vertical series from the same company before. This is the second project, but our first major lead roles in a full series. Donut and Kor are working with us for the first time."

Donut: "This is my first time meeting them."

Heng: "Actually, I've watched Donut's work several times before."

Kor: "We first met during the workshop."

**How was it for Donut to join a BL series?**

Donut: "It was fun. Everyone is really lovely, whether actors or crew. Tee and Heng showed so much dedication from the workshop. They gave their all on every exercise the instructor assigned. Everyone was so committed, and since we're all the same type of dedicated people, we had to give our best and do everything to the highest standard."

**And Tee, you've done vertical series before. How is it different doing a full series like this?**

Tee: "It's quite different and challenging because it's a full 12-episode series and I'm the lead character. Playing older Gen, who's so different from my real self, adds pressure. The stress is definitely there."

**How about you, Heng?**

Heng: "I'm stressed too. This series is mostly told from younger Gen's perspective. He encounters various people, and practically every scene involves him. But we understand that, and we're trying to do our best despite the heavy workload. We're all committed."

Donut: "Heng is really talented. He's basically in every scene from morning until his last shot of the day. He has tons of energy and gives his all every time without any signs of fatigue."

**Tee, as a former football player transitioning to acting, how has the adjustment been?**

Tee: "I had to learn everything from scratch. When I was contacted for casting, I came, and right away I was sent to acting school. It took nearly a year of training before I landed the role of older Gen. In the beginning, I'd still drive back to Udon Thani to practice football with my club, but as we got closer to filming, I asked the club if I could focus fully here. Luckily, they gave me the opportunity."

**What about the others? What acting experience do they have?**

Heng: "Before this, I was in two other series, mostly commercials, and I just finished acting school."

Kor: "I've done many different things—singing competitions, series—"
