Even before the drama has aired, controversy has already arisen for the veteran leading man known for his intense roles, Por Natthawut. Recently, netizens have strongly criticized him regarding his role as Director Jenphop in the 2026 version of "Raeng Ngao." Many say Por is unsuitable for the role, fearing he won’t fully capture the character's playboy nature.
At a recent event, Por Natthawut openly addressed the issue, saying, “I feel good about it. Actually, I want to sincerely thank everyone for all the reactions, both positive and negative, because those speaking out are people who love this drama. But please let me work first. Let me film the role and once it’s done and the audience has actually seen it, then we can talk about whether they like it or not. I believe no one will be disappointed. As for whether the character is a playboy or not, I understand and don’t feel pressured at all. I’ve done many remakes before, so there’s nothing to worry about. Let’s support each other.”
