When it comes to characters dominating social feeds and sparking viral catchphrases lately, it’s almost impossible not to recognize—or at least have heard of—“Khun Thee” from the series Me and Thee. Lines like “Please, heaven… Please take away his pain And give it to me instead,” or “Good night… stubborn one,” have swept across timelines and quickly become iconic.
The series tells the love story between Thee Theerakit Kian Lee (played by Pond Naravit), a formidable mafia boss with an over-the-top, unapologetically devoted heart, and Peach Peachyarat (played by Phuwin Tangsakyuen), an introverted freelance photographer who constantly finds himself overwhelmed by Thee’s eccentric intensity—so much so that he can’t help but think, “Get a grip, Khun Thee!”
Originally written by laWila under Sunflower Book and adapted into a series directed by Nattapong Mongkolsawas for GMMTV, the story has captured audiences with its dramatic romance and memorable dialogue.

Before we wave goodbye to Khun Thee and send these beloved characters back into the pages of the novel, #legend_TH invites everyone to get to know the two leading actors who brought these roles to life so perfectly—Pond and Phuwin.
Pond Naravit Lertratkosum
@ppnaravit
Naravit Lertratkosum, nicknamed Pond, is a 24-year-old actor born on February 1, 2001. He is currently studying at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Faculty of Engineering, majoring in Biomedical Engineering (International Program).
Pond entered the entertainment industry after winning Go On Girl & Guy Star Search by Clean & Clear Season 3, before officially signing with GMMTV in 2020. Beyond acting, he is also a member of the Thai boy band JASP.ER under RISER MUSIC. His notable solo acting works include Leap Day: The Day of Fate, where he portrayed Itsara Jittiphat (Day), as well as upcoming projects such as High & Low: Born to Be High.

In early 2025, Versace announced Pond as its Versace Fragrance Ambassador for Southeast Asia, making him the first Thai artist to receive this honor. He is also a Brand Ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger, alongside Phuwin, Gemini Norawit, and Fourth Nattawat.
Phuwin Tangsakyuen

Another shining gem of GMMTV, Phuwin Tangsakyuen has grown up in the entertainment industry since childhood. He began his career in commercials at just 11 years old, gradually building experience through television dramas, series, and stage productions. Born on July 5, 2003, Phuwin is now 22 years old and graduated from Chulalongkorn University, Faculty of Engineering, majoring in Information and Communication Engineering (International Program), with Second-Class Honors.
Although often seen as a young-generation actor, Phuwin already has over a decade of experience in the industry. His diverse and challenging roles include Kris Tangsinsap in Dahla: Death and the Flowers, Diesel Danaipach in TASTE, and his upcoming role as Chao Fah Ham in Scarlet Heart Thailand.

Beyond acting, Phuwin has also made his mark in voice acting through global projects such as the game Overwatch, as well as the animated film How to Train Your Dragon, where he voiced Hiccup. In fashion, he stands out as the third Thai Friend of LOEWE, following Tay Tawan and Baifern Pimchanok, perfectly reflecting his understated and refined personal style. He is also a Tommy Hilfiger Brand Ambassador, alongside Pond, Gemini, and Fourth.
Five Years, One Growing Heart
@GMMTV / @NeverLetMeGoTH / @WeAreSeriesTH / @MeAndTheeGMMTV
Over more than five years of working together, Pond and Phuwin have proven the strength of their chemistry, their partnership both on and off screen, and their continuously evolving abilities. From their breakthrough series Fish Upon the Sky, to the intense drama of Never Let Me Go, followed by We Are, and finally their latest roles in Me and Thee, the duo has delivered layered, emotionally rich portrayals of Khun Thee and Peach. Their performances not only reflect their growth as actors but also highlight the natural understanding they share with one another.
Perhaps it is fate that brought these two paths together at just the right moment—granting Pond Naravit and Phuwin Tangsakyuen a defining chapter in their careers. They have shown that success is not born from fleeting trends, but from growth, dedication, and walking forward together with steady determination. Even as the series reaches its final chapter, their journeys are far from over—continuing onward with grace, as actors and artists whose next steps are eagerly awaited.
