Have you ever thought about your final moment?

Have you ever thought about how you would want to die?

How your life would end.

What you would be wearing.

Where you would be.

My mind always

wanders around these things.

I value death, personally.

Death indicates

how much impact a person has on the world.

The more important you are,

the more memorable your death will be.

Anyone who finds

an interesting way to die will be remembered by all.

And this is how I die.

(The End)

The award for Best Digital Screenplay goes to...

Ladapha Panyachaowanuch

for the drama "Love, Death, Breath".

Congratulations.

Ladapha, aka Tualek,

is a screenwriter with a golden hand.

Every screenplay she has written became famous.

She is known for her characters' unique deaths.

This drama got so famous that there was a viral hashtag

"#WhatAPretentiousWayToDie"

You've won the award for best screenplay.

Thank you.

Since you worked behind the scenes, no speech is needed from you.

Only actors will be allowed to give a speech.

Well, she's surely taking her time.

Everyone, I believe Tualek has a surprise for you all.

"This stage doesn't allow behind the scenes workers to give speeches."

"As a writer who works behind the scenes,"

"please allow me to write instead."

"Awarding people who work behind the scenes"

"but forbidding them from giving a speech..."

(is considered disrespectful honor.)

(Are you puzzled?)

(To put it simply, thank you for the award)

(but...)

"Just send the award to my house next time."

"Dresses are expensive to rent."

My business has been keeping me away

from the entertainment industry.

I never thought I would be receiving this award.

I am very happy and delighted.

Is your boyfriend not here today, Dia?

He couldn't attend the event because he got stuck at work.

But let me set the record straight.

The gossip about us having problems is not true.

Please excuse me for a moment.

He asked for a selfie of me with the award.

- They are so in love. - How cute.

Sent.

Tualek, what did you just do?

Chris.

Both actors and people who work behind the scenes

are equally important to the industry.

If this event only values actors

to impress their fans,

this will be the last time you see me here.

Everyone knows

that this event

only gives out awards to superstars

so that they attend the event.

That way, the event gets mentioned on the news and receives sponsors.

When the real superstars are too busy to attend the event,

the awards go to

untalented actors

who are currently on the news for having relationship issues instead.

Do you think I want an award

that can be given out to anyone?

- Don't take it personally. - All right.

This bouquet is for you.

Thank you.

The award for Best Original Song goes to

the song "Love's Breath"

from the drama "Love, Death, Breath" by Sonthaya Records.

Please put your hands together for the winner.

(Best Original Song: "Love's Breath" by Sonthaya Records)

You cheated on me.

I'll kill you.

Thank you so much for the award.

I'm very honored to be here.

Are you

Ms. Benja Mettaarunee?

You are dead.

This can't be happening.

This can't be happening.

How did you bring me here?

Why are we here?

I'm taking you somewhere you belong.

Walk forward.

Can I not go?

You have to go.

I didn't intend to commit suicide.

I was hurt from finding out that my husband cheated on me.

It started merely as a thought, but my hand somehow pulled the trigger.

Please give me another chance.

Please.

Please.

Please give me another chance.

Please calm down. Get up.

Come here.

I really didn't mean to do it.

I understand that this isn't easy.

But you are aware that no one can run from the place you are going,

aren't you?

Every human ends up there.

It's just a matter of time.

I know.

But I'm not ready to go there yet.

Okay, how about we wait

until you are ready?

Don't cry.

You seem ready now.

What a waste of time.

(Change the script and let the female protagonist live)

If you all agree that the female protagonist shouldn't die

and she deserves a happy ending together with the male protagonist.

Can each of you give me a reason?

As the director,

I believe our storyline

already makes it clear

that love has no boundaries.

She doesn't have to die.

The ending she has right now requires a lot of CGI.

We don't have the budget for it.

The director, the manager, and I, the executive officer,

all agree on the idea.

It's only right that the writer should listen to us.

Bud, she's here.

We must work together.

- Tualek, hey. - Tualek, hey.

Hello.

Do you want to change the script?

Sure, I'm all ears.

But why do you want to change it?

Well, everyone here agrees

- that the female... - Hold on.

Did you bring the award with you?

My cabinet at home is full.

I have no place to put it.

Where were we?

What is it about the female protagonist?

One more.

One, two...

Okay, beautiful.

One, two...

Seriously? Did you put it on the conference table?

Yes.

I knew they didn't like my ending, so I had to find a way

to deal with them.

But it worked.

As soon as I pulled out the award,

they had this newfound respect for me.

In the end, I won.

The female protagonist still dies.

You are such a control freak.

You control both the characters

and the people in real life.

But I've never tried to control you, Hoo.

I'm your needy girl.

I dare you to try.

By the way, why do your characters always die in the end?

Don't you want a happy ending for them?

Well, with tragic...

(Tantan)

With tragic dramas,

characters usually die when they can't find a solution.

For example, "The Great Gatsby",

"Titanic",

and "Romeo and Juliet".

Think about it. If the protagonists didn't die in those movies,

would the viewer find them impressive?

Don't screenwriters hold the power of god?

You get to decide whether your characters

live or die.

Yes, you are right.

I know this is the best ending.

That's why all of my female protagonists die in the end.

All right, I'm done arguing with you.

Let me take a picture of a writer who is obsessed with power.

I'm a talented screenwriter who's won awards.

Okay.

Pretend like you are showing the production crew your award.

One, two...

- Was that okay? - Did you make that face?

Hold on.

(Tantan)

Who keeps calling you? Why didn't you pick up the call?

No one. Let him be. He has some repenting to do.

Take a seat.

You are almost three hours late.

Yes.

But I'm here now.

Listen, I told you I couldn't attend the event

because I had an important meeting.

You wanted a bouquet.

I sent it to you.

So why are you getting back at me?

I'm not.

I had an important meeting today.

Here's the menu.

Would you like to order something?

Why did you ask me to meet?

Let's order first.

Why?

Do you think

food will make me forgive you for missing my special moment?

- Your special moment? - Yes.

You said you didn't want the award.

Well, I didn't.

But still, weren't you supposed to be there to support me?

Whatever. Don't change the subject.

If you want to apologize with food,

give me a verbal apology first

then I'll consider eating with you.

- We'll order later. - Don't go anywhere.

Stay here.

Be my witness.

All right.

Okay, I'm sorry.

About what?

What are you talking about?

Do you know what it's about?

I...

Can you make yourself clearer so that he understands

what you are talking about?

I'm sorry, Tualek.

I'm sorry for breaking up with you.

I'm done being your boyfriend.

I don't love you anymore. My love for you died a long time ago.

I'm very sorry.

I clearly heard him breaking up with you.

Tantan.

She kept him waiting for so long, yet she asked him to apologize.

Babe.

Babe.

Wait, Babe.

Babe.

What's going on?

You are kidding, right?

Is this a surprise?

Did you hide any cameras around here? Show me.

I don't see any.

Or is this your way of getting me to forgive you?

Babe.

Don't scare me like that again.

Not everyone is as complicated as you.

What's going on?

I broke up with you because it's over between us.

That's all there is to it. No hidden message.

We are done.

Did he really break up with me?

Did he mean it?

- Hey, Tualek. - Hello.

Tualek, your father and I are celebrating for you.

Your aunt and uncles wish to congratulate you as well.

- Who wants to go first? - Yes, who?

Your drama was so fun.

You are very talented.

Congratulations from all of us. You are a famous screenwriter.

- To Tualek, cheers. - Cheers.

Let's drink.

Tualek, when are you coming home?

All of us are waiting to get your autograph.

Mom. Dad.

Is there anything else?

No, we just want to congratulate you.

I'm hanging up then.

- She hung up. - Here's the thing.

She probably needs to submit the script to the director.

- Yes. - She's got a deadline.

- She's busy. - Let's just eat.

Let's eat.

Look at the food.

It looks delicious.

I refuse to break up with you.

You can't break up with me

until I say we are done.

See? A spruce guitar gives you smoother sounds

compared to this cedar guitar which gives you

clearer and louder sounds.

That's right. Let's hear it.

Which guitar do you like more? The one with clear or smooth sounds?

Gosh, you're pointing at me but looking at him.

Give it a try.

- I'll get Tualek some water. - Stay.

She won't be staying long.

Why are you here?

Babe, I...

I happened to be passing by,

so I came to tell you something.

For the new drama I'm writing,

the male protagonist owns a music shop.

The producer wants to use your store

as a filming location.

As the male protagonist's store?

Who's the actor?

It must be one of the channel's top actors.

This means

our store will be famous,

and the fans will visit our store

like they do with your other dramas, right?

I guess so.

That's so cool.

Why here?

I don't know.

That's all the producer told me.

Tomorrow at 7 p.m.,

the producer is coming to my condo.

He wants to talk to you, Babe...

He wants to talk to you about the details.

If you are interested,

come to my condo at 7 p.m.

Tan, you have to go.

Check on the customers.

You have to go.

Do not forget to go.

Do not forget.

7 p.m. at Tualek's condo.

I'm here. Which guitar would you like to get?

I'm exhausted.

Kafae, why did Tualek suddenly call

for an urgent meeting?

I don't know anything about that.

But I'm sure there's a problem.

She probably wants to change the script.

She comes up with new ideas daily.

Everything is always changing. What about our compensation?

Calm down. Don't jump the gun.

Maybe Tualek wants to pay us.

We are getting paid?

As if.

Wake up already.

This is Tualek we're talking about.

You're all rainbows and unicorns.

There she is.

I asked you guys to meet here to talk about work.

The thing is, I agreed to write another drama.

I need your help with it.

A new drama?

Tualek, we already have a lot on our plate.

You and Yamroll are working on a drama.

You and I are working on a different drama.

And all of us are working together on another drama.

That's three already.

Are we working on a fourth one?

That's right. They are still filming the third one.

And they have been rushing us to finish the script.

Yes, you are right.

When I took the job, I was going to let you two be in charge.

I only planned to supervise it.

It's okay if you aren't up for it.

I'll tell them I changed my mind.

- We can do it. - Yes, we can.

- Will you leave us in charge? - Yes.

We can do it. It's totally fine by us.

Did you drive here, Kafae?

Yes.

That's good.

I'm planning to throw a party tonight for the award I just won.

Let me buy groceries first. After we finish our long meeting,

we can throw the party.

I'll grab a shopping cart.

You could have ordered delivery.

You didn't have to prepare it yourself.

You're right.

I tend to pick the more difficult path.

Same with writing, I don't accept easy jobs.

Thank you.

Tualek, aren't you allergic to prawns?

Why did you buy spot prawns?

They are Tantan's favorite.

Hey.

Can you put this in the fridge for me?

And please bring me the wine glasses.

Sure.

Tualek.

Since we have time now, we should start talking about the script.

That's a good idea.

(The producer is here. You can come now.)

By the way, what are your thoughts on the synopsis?

What synopsis?

No one sent me anything.

Really? The company hasn't sent you the synopsis?

Oh no. How are we supposed to have this meeting then?

I'll send it to you now.

Okay.

Yamroll, have you found the wine glasses?

Yes.

Do you only have two glasses?

Yes, one for me

and one for Tantan.

Feel free to stay though.

I'm sure Tantan wouldn't mind.

Easy, easy.

Did you get the email?

Read the synopsis.

I'm going to get changed.

Are you two really going to stay for the party?

I'll set more places at the table.

I don't think we can stay.

Okay.

Unbelievable.

How many times has she done this to us?

She calls for an early meeting but drags us all over the place.

In the end, the meeting is postponed.

I think Tualek just wanted a ride and someone to help her carry stuff.

Oh my gosh.

You are right.

She used us again.

On the bright side,

Tualek got us another job.

Did she?

Can we really trust her?

- I don't know. - You know how she is.

Once a producer hires me directly to write a script for them,

I'm going to quit the team right away. I don't need her.

Why are you just standing there? Come on. I'll give you a ride.

He's here.

Tan.

Come in.

Please.

Where's the producer?

There was a phone call.

Chris went outside to take the call.

It's probably confidential.

Sit.

You said he's been here since 5 p.m.

Did he not touch the food at all?

- Chris was... - There is no producer, right?

You are not meeting anyone. You used work as an excuse to lure me here.

Listen to me, Tantan.

My name is Tan.

It's just Tan.

Babe, you can't leave.

Fine, I planned all this.

But I'm doing this for you.

I agreed to write such a boring drama.

I asked the producer

to make the protagonist a musician

so we can film it at your store.

I'm doing this much

for you and TJ Music.

Are you still going to break up with me?

Everything is a plan to you.

Do you know

how to do things in a simple way?

This is simple for me.

Is asking me directly

"Why did you break up with me?"

harder than coming up with a plan

to trick me into staying with you?

- Why did you break up with me then? - I'm telling you the reason.

Don't you understand?

You make everything complicated.

I'm tired of having to guess whether you are being sincere

or if it's just another plan of yours.

I want a girlfriend whom I feel comfortable to be with,

who's not going to make me exhausted.

And I can't do that with you.

You are no different than me.

You never told me how you truly felt.

And today you came here just to keep insulting me.

What was I supposed to say?

Anything.

It's not about expressing my feelings.

It's about your complicated plans.

When it comes to you, you always have reasons to back it up.

But everything I do is wrong.

Every move I make is wrong.

I'm even wrong for meaning you well.

Why are you crying?

Tualek.

Are those crocodile tears?

You are doing what your antagonists

always do in your dramas.

I can see right through it.

If you leave, I'm going to kill myself.

The same trick with your female protagonist?

I mean it.

You can't even give your characters realistic deaths.

You have to make it beautiful.

Someone who's so afraid of death like you can really kill yourself?

Watch me eat a prawn.

You know I'm severely allergic to prawns.

Try again.

Come on. Let me try.

Maybe it's damp.

Give me.

You wouldn't do that to yourself just because you're dumped.

What on earth are you doing?

Do you still think I'm lying?

Are you crazy? Why did you eat it?

I'll call an ambulance.

No.

If you don't love me anymore, just leave me alone.

Tualek, give me the phone.

No.

Aren't you going to break up with me?

Then you don't have to care whether I live or die. Just leave.

Tualek, don't do this.

No.

Don't break up with me then.

Okay.

I won't break up with you. Give me the phone.

I said I won't break up with you.

Give me the phone.

I think you should...

Why was this inside the napkin?

- Babe, I... - Stop calling me "Babe".

You tricked me again.

No, Babe. I...

Why?

- Babe. - Enough is enough.

- I've had enough. - Babe, hear me out.

- I'm sorry. - I have nothing to say to you.

Babe!

What's his problem?

It's prawn.

We are here.

Yamroll.

Yamroll.

What's wrong?

Are you coming up with the script?

You haven't said a word.

You are home.

Kafae.

How severe is Tualek's prawn allergy?

Her prawn allergy?

It's quite severe.

She once told me about the time she ate a prawn

and got anaphylaxis within five minutes.

She broke out in a rash and was itchy all over. She vomited.

Her throat and tongue swelled up.

They had to take her to the hospital.

Really?

Why do you ask?

I...

I forgot to wash the glasses.

Yamroll, have you found the wine glasses yet?

Yes.

Yamroll!

What do I do?

I need my medication.

My medication.

I've run out.

I need to call the hospital.

Where's my phone?

Where's my phone?

They won't be here in time.

Tantan.

Tantan.

Tantan.

Don't go.

Tantan.

Stop.

Babe, open the door for me.

Why are you following me? Leave me alone.

Babe, I need to see the doctor right now.

Please take me to the hospital. I ate prawn accidentally.

I'm starting to have an anaphylactic reaction, Babe.

- Open the door for me. - You didn't eat any prawns.

- I did. - You didn't.

I really did, Babe. Don't you believe me?

Look at my skin. It's turning red.

I'll be covered in a rash soon.

I can't wait. I need to see the doctor.

Stop lying to me.

I've been a fool for long enough.

But I'm one step ahead of you now.

- You can't fool me anymore. - Babe.

Babe.

Babe.

Babe, I mean it this time.

I'm not lying. I'm having an anaphylactic reaction.

I'm going to die, Babe.

You are such a great actress.

You should be an actress instead.

You will win an Oscar.

Move out of the way.

No, Babe. Please hear me out.

Help me.

Babe...

She even pretended to fall down.

She's really good at acting.

I'm not going to fall for it though.

Tantan.

Babe.

Why is no one passing by?

The ambulance is here.

I'm here.

Don't go inside the condo.

I'm here. Come get me.

I can't die here.

Are you okay?

Mister, can you take me to the condo over there?

You don't look okay.

Or please tell the ambulance to pick me up here.

Please, I'm begging you.

I'm warning you for the last time.

Don't go anywhere.

Someone will come.

I'm here.

Come back here.

Come back and help me.

Wait.

Am I really dead?

Who are you?

Are you a grim reaper?

I'm returning to my body.

It's normal for people to break up.

I know but I can't help it.

I promised my parents that I would go home to see them.

If I go with you,

Tan will get to be happy.

Can we go now?
