Meet Thai’s newest rising star
A rising star in the making, Thai actress Orm Kornnaphat—Komnaphat Sethratanapong—should be someone to look out for this year and beyond. Getting her big break with her sapphic TV show, The Secret of Us, she has shown us vast knowledge and profound stagecraft. Following the success of The Secret of Us, Orm reunited with her co-star Kwong Fahlada for another girls’ love series titled Only You in 2025. Since then, her career has catapulted, putting her centre stage—becoming a Dior brand ambassador and securing more roles.
But Orm’s journey to stardom has been gradual and intentional, built one project at a time. She has since proved her versatility as an actress. With all that said, we’d like to highlight some of her best TV shows to date.
Take a look at Orm Kornnaphat’s best TV shows to date:
Only You
A sapphic love story, the TV series follows a skilled bodyguard, Tawan, whose new assignment is to protect her former schoolmate, Ira, a famous pop star—who she hasn’t met in 8 years. As they spend more time together, chemistry sparks and unexpected feelings grow. Now, they have to tread their hearts carefully, before everything falls apart.
The Secret of Us
Fit for those who love a medical drama, The Secret of Us is a girls’ love TV series adapted from the novel of the same name by Meenam. The show revolves around Dr Fahlada, who runs into her ex-girlfriend—the one who broke her heart—when she becomes the spokesperson for the hospital Fahlada works at.
Game of Outlaws
It was her role as a mafia heiress in Game of Outlaws that garnered her a devoted fanbase. The show follows stepsisters Janenaree and Lalisa—united by tragedy—set out to destroy the drug syndicate that murdered their fathers, only to find their relationship crumbling under the weight of vengeance.
To The Moon and Back
Though cast in a supporting role, Orm truly shined in this series. The show follows Dr. Purim, an elite cardiothoracic surgeon who escapes his controlling father to forge his own path, finding comfort in his secret passion for baking. His quiet independence is upended when free-spirited Matalada moves in next door, raised by her cabaret-owner father.
Syameen Salehaldin
A lover of steamy romance books and all things green, Syameen Salehaldin is the Lifestyle Director for Harper's BAZAAR Malaysia. She spends most of her time immersed in books, food and doing anything that makes her happy. Expect to see her diving into lifestyle, fashion and beauty trends on this platform.
