Known in the Boys Love universe as the spoiled brat Tian Sopasitsakun in the highly successful A Tale of a Thousand Stars, Mix Sahaphap is tailor-made and ready for stardom at a young age. Reports have it that casting agents surround Mix like bees to honey for ad campaigns in high school.
Introduction
Being an animal lover, he pursues a Veterinary Medicine course. His pre-showbiz career can be summed up below, with plenty more personal milestones to follow:
Sahaphap entered the entertainment industry when he was selected as part of Chula Cute Boy. He participated in the parade of the Chula-Thammasat Traditional Football Match, being the one to summon the university flag. He is also a former member of the boy band Cute Chef, interpreting the single “Ma Ngung Ngung Ung Ung”, but later disbanded at end of 2018. [Profile at My Drama List (edited)]

A Tale of a Thousand Stars aired its first episode in late January and has so far received positive reviews. Mix himself has been lauded by fans for his acting, with his expressive eyes especially noted. Fans have also requested that he be given more leading roles soon. | Does KPop Idol and BTS member Jin have a long-lost Thai twin? by Patti Sunio.

Acting Style
More than anything, Sahaphap’s biggest star factor is eye acting. While some BL stars resort to developing a sexy and daring image, Mix projects wholesome. In a way, it follows the time-tested formula by South Korean pop boy bands of projecting positive vibes and energy. Yet, we’re talking about boys love here, right?

Mix does attempt to project an image that is outside the box – settling comfortably in portraying roles that are not limited to eye candy or teeny bopping. His role in Moonlight Chicken is that of a young man testing the waters and falling in love with someone who remains mysterious to himself while still living with a guy, his senior. That sort of character may not go well with some fans but Mix apparently has set his mind on doing roles that challenge the norm.
Social Media and the Press
Mix won the National Award for Outstanding Child & Youth and expresses his sentiments below:
Being an actor gives me media mileage (coverage). I want to use this as a platform to help society. For me, the important thing about working and studying at the same time is responsibility. I want to tell everyone to focus on doing their duty to the fullest. We may not be able to do everything at once. Because no one is good at everything but we just accept the responsibility and do as much as we can. That is already considered as being a good youth for society.

Author’s Personal Statement
Unlike many fans, I don’t gear towards ‘shipping’, maybe because I’m impatient and prone to anger, so being too involved with the actors would probably give me heart attacks and I might suffer another stroke. While I can’t ‘protect’ my faves, I can write about them here and Mix Sahaphap is one of my ultimate five favorites. I’ve read those stupid, clueless fans about the EarthMix body-shaming incident and I’m boiling with anger. I hope those cuckoos would leave them alone, but I’m afraid they won’t. Anyway, Moonlight Chicken is coming up, so I’m preparing for my first blog-a-thon here.
An old-timer BL fan way back in 2007. I started out loving BL after watching the Takumi-kun series from Japan, went on collecting BL manga, and watched old BL anime such as Junjou Romantica and the likes. Love of Siam allow me to transition into Thai, while Amphetamine gave me glimpses of Taiwanese BL magic. I love to write reviews and I’m one of the administrators of Psycho Weird.
