Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on a Thai novel that sparked real debates about rural corruption; the 'ideal city' of the title is deeply ironic.
Paparwadee Chansamorn took the role after turning down three other lakorns; she wanted to play someone who 'fails upward' rather than a perfect heroine.
