Amid the warm reception from fans of Be My Angel, its leading stars — Baipor Thitiya Jirapornsilp and Bambam Niwirin Limkangwalmongkol — have emerged as one of the most talked-about pairings of the moment. Their acclaim stems not only from the depth and naturalism of their performances, but from an intangible energy they share and effortlessly pass on to the audience.

During the March 2026 digital cover shoot for #legend_TH, we sat down with Baipor and Bambam to discuss their perspectives, emotions and behind-the-scenes experiences. They reflect on the process that brought their characters to life and on the connection that transformed their on-screen partnership into something that lingers warmly in viewers’ hearts a story we are delighted to share with fans

#legend_TH: Could you tell us about the storyline of Be My Angel and introduce your characters?

BP: I play Jane, a true representative of Gen Z — the very generation we’re living in now (laughs). She’s fiercely independent, values her freedom and has no desire to work under anyone. She wants to start her own business because she believes in being her own boss. But life doesn’t unfold as smoothly as she expects. Jane turns to an application called Lucky Points, where users collect points by doing good deeds. She keeps accumulating points until she redeems them for an angel — Angel Z.

BB: And I play Angel Z (laughs). Jane redeems me with her points — but since she doesn’t have many, she ends up with a rather underwhelming angel. Z can’t do much at all and simply follows orders — not always very well.

BP: She can’t do anything except smile sweetly. Jane’s curiosity pushes her to make some use of Z, so she embarks on a mission to uncover who Z was when she was alive. From Episode One, viewers see that Z sings beautifully. That becomes the starting point of our search for her true identity, guided by the theory of Six Degrees of Separation — the idea that everyone in the world connects through no more than six people, rather like mutual friends linking us together.

BB: Jane searches for Z’s identity because Z herself cannot remember who she once was — it’s as though her memory has been erased. But what Jane is doing breaks a heavenly rule: angels must not discover who they were in their previous lives. That tension forms the heart of the story.

BP: In each episode, we meet many different characters — some who support us, others who stand in our way. As for what ultimately happens, you’ll have to watch the series to find out.

#legend_TH: Baipor, you previously worked in film. How did you adapt to acting in a series?

BP: I found it quite different — both in performance dynamics and in the filming process. I wasn’t used to the pace of a series. When I filmed a movie, I would shoot around five scenes a day. For this series, we filmed up to twenty. I had to memorise an enormous amount of dialogue and genuinely wondered whether I could manage it. But as filming progressed, I found my rhythm and began to enjoy it. Film demands meticulous crafting for the big screen, whereas in a series, I focus on sustaining the audience’s emotional engagement across episodes.

#legend_TH: Bambam, how challenging was it to transition from singer to actress?

BB: I honestly thought it would be more difficult (laughs). It felt challenging because I had never acted before, but I realised singing and acting share similarities — both require you to communicate emotion. Having a strong partner helped enormously. Baipor supported me, and that made it much easier to express myself. I’m grateful to her. Acting feels like a new chapter, and I hope to continue pursuing it alongside singing, which remains my first love.

#legend_TH: Do any traits from your characters follow you home?

BP: I separate myself from my characters quite strictly. In a previous project, I played someone emotionally heavy, and I refused to carry that home with me. Home is my safe space. When the director calls ‘cut’, I remind myself what belongs to fiction and what belongs to real life.

Jane feels different. She complements me. We differ in many ways — she’s an extrovert with boundless energy. She talks to herself, hears voices in her head and constantly expresses herself physically. I had to use a great deal of imagination. Once I found her rhythm, I enjoyed playing her immensely. In fact, Jane has helped me in real life — she’s made me braver, more vocal and more confident in expressing myself.

BB: Baipor actually speaks very softly in real life — I often have to ask her to repeat herself.

BP: I unconsciously conserve my energy. I never realise how quiet I am (laughs).

BB: Perhaps that’s part of being an introvert — expending energy drains you. But once she found Jane’s voice, she became much more talkative.

BP: I think that side of me may have existed all along. Playing Jane simply helped me rediscover it.

BB: I share many similarities with Z. She’s bright and cheerful, so expressing her emotions felt natural. I was fortunate that my first series role resembled my own personality. There is, however, another emotional layer when Jane and Z begin searching for Z’s identity — that part proved more challenging. But I can’t spoil it (laughs).

#legend_TH: If you were offered a role completely unlike yourself and found it extremely challenging, how would you approach it?

BB: I’ve imagined that scenario before. I think I would need to study extensively, especially since I’m still so new to acting. Formal training would help me enormously. Even with C — a role I felt was quite close to me — taking acting classes deepened my understanding in ways I hadn’t expected.

BP: At first, I found it incredibly difficult. I felt tense and hadn’t yet unlocked the character. But once I did, everything flowed naturally. I usually begin by identifying the character’s core before gradually building the layers around it. It often takes until the third or fourth scene before I truly settle into a stable energy. Every day I spent inhabiting this role revealed something new about acting — moments when I suddenly thought, “Ah, so that’s how it works.”

#legend_TH: What do you admire about one another?

BP: Bambam commits fully and delivers. Even when she says she feels unsure, everyone can see how much she’s improved. She undertook an intensive course in acting and truly rose to the challenge. It’s almost as though she compressed years of training — from nursery to university — into just a few months in order to become this character. Watching the finished work, I felt so proud. She’s remarkable. Z is deceptively difficult to portray.

BB: It really is difficult. Z carries a kind of innocence you don’t often see. If she met someone with very large muscles, she would simply say, “Your muscles are huge,” without a second thought. Most people would just glance and say nothing. Portraying genuine innocence — without irony or ulterior motive — is surprisingly challenging.

I see Baipor as very mature for her age. I’m nine years older than she is, yet I’ve learned so much from her. Some lessons I already knew, but being around someone younger with such clarity of thought strengthens something within me. I’m deeply grateful to her. If we continue working together, I believe she will keep inspiring me.

#legend_TH: You performed the soundtrack for Be My Angel, didn’t you? Tell us what makes the song special.

BB: Yes — we created the song specifically for the series. It’s a light, feel-good pop love song. Sarah Salola (Sayapond Hienghome) wrote it. I told the director I was already close to Sarah and wanted to collaborate with her. She understands my style, and I know she loves writing love songs. After I shared the synopsis with her, she completed the track in just one week. She watched the pilot and found it utterly charming. We wanted the song to feel like something Z and Jane give to each other — not a one-sided confession. I think when people hear it, they’ll immediately think of the series. It’s incredibly catchy and very sweet.

BP: It’s adorable — and the title is very long as well: “I Don’t Know Where You Found All This Cuteness” (laughs).

#legend_TH: Let’s talk about fashion. Which style feels most like you?

BP: Lately, I’ve been reaching more for basic and classic pieces. I’ve had fun experimenting with many different looks, so I started asking myself what would happen if I leaned further into something timeless. I tend to match neutral tones — beige, navy, burgundy. They’re essentially primary shades, just softened or muted. When I pair them with gold accessories, I feel very much at home. That said, I still enjoy playful styling too.

BB: I’m quite similar to Baipor. I know I gravitate towards classic dressing. I actually love menswear — tailored suits and ties in particular. But I also enjoy experimenting. I’m still discovering myself stylistically. I’d like people to see a more mature, poised side of me, yet when I work in this industry, I realise that playful outfits and bold hair colours are equally part of who I am.

#legend_TH: What’s your signature fashion item?

BB: Glasses. I’m short-sighted, and I’ve worn them for so long that people associate them with my image. When I take them off, it feels strange. I like experimenting with different frames — if someone tells me a particular style suits me, I’ll try it.

BP: Jewellery. On days when I wear something simple — a T-shirt and jeans — I’ll add a bold gold piece or a statement accessory, and it instantly completes the look. Recently, I’ve been wearing a mushroom-shaped Coco Crush necklace quite often. I also love a delicate watch. At the moment, I gravitate towards smaller, feminine pieces with a slight vintage touch.

#legend_TH: How do you plan your outfits each day?

BP: I’d like to know too — should we do a fitting first? (laughs)

BB: A fitting helps, but I need to know where I’m going. The location influences everything. Usually, I decide which top I want to wear and build the rest of the outfit around it.

#legend_TH: Do you have a go-to look?

BP & BB: Not really (laughs).

BP: It depends entirely on how I feel that day — and where I’m heading. I choose pieces according to my mood and the setting.

#legend_TH: Baipor, tell us about your experience working with a global luxury house.

BP: I’m particularly impressed by CHANEL because the House truly values art and culture — something I deeply connect with. They recently appointed Matthieu Blazy as Creative Director, and I adore this new era of CHANEL. It feels young and fresh, yet retains a refined craftsmanship that clearly reflects Matthieu’s signature style while honouring the brand’s DNA.

I attended Fashion Week once for the Autumn/Winter collection, which drew inspiration from Deauville — a city significant to the brand. They even named a bag after it. I felt incredibly honoured to be there. I never imagined that one day I would attend Fashion Week and meet celebrities from around the world.

Last year, I also attended the Cruise show in Singapore, where Matthieu’s styling became even more distinct. I loved that experience — it felt very ‘me’. My team and I were especially proud of that look. I’m grateful to work with CHANEL and look forward to seeing how the upcoming collections evolve.

#legend_TH: Bambam, will we hear new music from you soon?

BB: For now, I want to focus on finishing Be My Angel. After that, I plan to devote more time to music so fans won’t miss me too much. They often ask when I’ll sing again — it’s been nearly a year since I last performed. I’ve heard the calls, so please stay tuned.
