Production
Mr. Chalermchatri Yukol director said, "I'm very happy. But there is space for improvement, because it was the first time I created a TV series. We work every week. But we do not do all the same. The damage was moderate. Cost and more time but enough to continue. We control these things better. Better actor we took the problem from the movie The Legend of Suriyothai to fix in the film King Naresuan. And we took the knowledge from this film to fix in the film Panthai Norasing (Thai: พันท้ายนรสิงห์). And we took the knowledge from this film to come to this drama. Make the series look more modern. This is one of the experiments.
