Khun Chang, however, is wealthy and able to support Wanthong's family.

- Pattanapon explained after being unmasked that he empathized Khun Chang as the character, like himself who is misunderstood as 'a bad boy' often. People usually overlook the fact that Khun Chang is very loyal and will do anything to the woman he loves. Pattanapon thought that Khun Chang could represent himself very well, because despite looking like a villain he also has other positive aspects that others cannot see.
