BIOGRAPHY

Two of Drake Sattabut Laedeke’s characters got a second life in someone else’s series. Mork, his first lead, came back in Our Skyy the same year, and Korn, Pat’s friend from Bad Buddy, turned up again in Our Skyy 2. When a studio keeps bringing your supporting guy back for the reunion special, he is doing something right.

Sattabut Laedeke (สัตบุตร แลดิกี), nicknamed Drake, was born on 1 October 2000 in Chiang Mai. He finished secondary school at Varee Chiangmai International School and went on to study event management at the School of Tourism and Services of the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. He was a GMMTV artist from 2017 to 2025.

A brief appearance in Broken (2016) came before the GMMTV contract. His first supporting part was Pob in Slam Dance (2017), and his first lead was Mork in ‘Cause You’re My Boy (2018), opposite Frank Thanatsaran Samthonglai as Tee. A second main role, Title in Blacklist, followed in 2019.

In 2020 he and Frank were reunited as Mil and Phukong in 2gether: The Series and Still 2gether; Mil is also back in 2gether: The Movie. In 2021 he played Rang, called Ranger, in A Tale of Thousand Stars and Korn in Bad Buddy. His later list mixes comedy and romance: Time in A Boss and a Babe, Plakao in Wandee Goodday, Tae Theerapat in ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat and Gap, a guest part in Only Friends (2023).

What Drake’s credits show is a career built inside one studio’s shared world. Between 2020 and 2024 he moved through the casts of 2gether, Bad Buddy and A Tale of Thousand Stars, and in almost every one he is the friend in the next seat. He started as a lead in 2018 and has worked mostly in ensembles since, so his list doubles as a map of the studio’s friend groups.

My tip: watch ‘Cause You’re My Boy before 2gether. Mork and Tee are the leads there, so seeing Drake and Frank as Mil and Phukong afterwards feels like spotting two old leads hiding in the back row.
