Cover Story: Baifern Pimchanok and her journey of acting, love, and success

"...Baifern Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul’s acting prowess is undeniable. No matter how challenging the role, she immerses herself fully, capturing every emotion with striking authenticity. This level of performance requires deep engagement with both the character and the director, ensuring a profound understanding of dialogue, movement, and the essence of the role she portrays..."

"The first step is always to study my character thoroughly. I believe that to portray a role convincingly, I must understand everything about the character, how they think, how they perceive the world. For example, if it were me, I might instinctively react to a loud noise with a surprised exclamation. But for some characters, their automatic reaction wouldn’t be anything like that at all. It’s about training myself to think as they do, to see the world through their eyes. When working with different directors, I think it’s important to get to know them as well. Luckily, I’ve collaborated with many directors repeatedly, so we’ve developed a good level of familiarity. I understand what they want, what kind of direction they prefer. We have open discussions, whether a scene should be played with more intensity or subtlety, whether we should reveal something to the audience outright or keep it understated. This exchange helps shape the performance, not just as an actor but also in crafting each scene together. Taking on more complex roles with different perspectives feels like expanding the drawers of my knowledge. We all start with a certain understanding of joy and sorrow, but when we step into a character’s world, we unlock new levels of those emotions. I’ve learned that there are different kinds of suffering, whether it’s physical health, mental well-being, financial struggles, or the pressures of fame. Each role adds a new ‘drawer’ to my understanding, allowing me to grasp the human experience in a much deeper way."

The latest role she received in the series Ticha has earned her widespread recognition as a truly professional actress. Baifern has expressed that acting is a profession she loves and hopes to pursue to the very end.

“I love being an actress. In the future, I will probably continue working in this field because it’s a job I truly love. I will always work with dedication and respect for the audience, which is the foundation of being an actor. Every project, regardless of its fame, I approach with the same intention and respect for those who take the time to watch and learn alongside my character. I believe the future will continue to be like this… Honestly, it’s far beyond what I ever dreamed of. When I was a child, casting for roles was tough, and I only dreamed of being in a single drama. Now, having received awards, including international recognition, I am incredibly happy. Being in that position is a source of pride. I’m thankful to myself for not giving up and always dedicating myself to every project, and for the day when I was able to stand there. I also want to thank everyone around me who supported me in every way, from my studies and acting to my schedule, manager, and all the friends behind the scenes who helped bring me to a place that surpassed my wildest dreams.”

As a successful actress, she has become a role model for the new generation who aspire to follow in her footsteps on the same career path. She wants everyone to believe in their own abilities.

“I believe that anyone who wants to work in this field or become someone will always be better off being themselves rather than trying to be Baifern. It’s perfectly fine to enjoy doing something similar to what I do, but in the end, doing it in your own way and being yourself is what will bring the greatest happiness. You don’t have to be like anyone else. If you pursue what you love with dedication, fully embrace it, and take pride in it, you will become someone who is famous in your own right, and many young people will want to be like you. And you, in turn, will pass on the same message, being yourself is always better than being someone else.”

Another aspect of this actress's life that has attracted significant attention is her love story. She has shared her perspectives on love, both in terms of self-love and romantic relationships, in a truly intriguing way.

For me, self-love means appreciating the value of the life we have in the present. I am grateful for everything that has happened. Waking up in the morning, I feel joy in seeing the curtains I chose or the bed I selected. Looking at these things reminds me of the patience I have had to endure to get to this point, and it makes me appreciate everything I have. The people in my life are no different. I feel gratitude for them every day, whether it's sharing a meal or having a drink together, as it reminds me of all they've been through to be where they are today, sitting together in this moment. Everything has its background in my life. I am thankful for everything I have, and this is my way of loving myself. Therefore, facing disappointments doesn't bother me, because everything I love has never crumbled away. I feel content with loving my life and know I wouldn’t do anything to ruin it or the happiness I have.As for romantic love, I also believe it should be a healthy relationship, much like the love we have for a friend. It doesn’t require being together all the time, but instead having a connection, like two trees standing side by side. If I am lucky, I believe I might find this kind of love, where the roots may intertwine and help each other, but the two trees stand together without intruding on one another.

Her sincerity and natural charm are the qualities that make us fall in love with this actress, both on and off the screen.
