A few days before it’s official air date, I was able to meet personally two of the stars of the movie. Non-Kul and James visited the country to meet all of their fans as well as to officially launch the movie. In the press conference held in Marco Polo, Non and James willingly share to us that cheating wasn’t really new to them. Non, who is currently studying film production at Mahidol University International College says he did a few cheating tricks a long time ago while here is what James has to say . . .
