NamtanFilm

NamtanFilm is the pairing of GMMTV actors Tipnaree “Namtan” Weerawatnodom and Rachanun “Film” Mahawan. They first appeared together in Last Twilight, which premiered on GMM 25 on 10 November 2023, Namtan as Porjai and Film as Gee, both in supporting roles.

They were promoted to leads for Pluto (19 October 2024 to 4 January 2025), GMMTV’s second Girls’ Love series after 23.5, running twelve episodes. Namtan plays a dual role as the twins Ai-oon and Oaboom Ingsamug; Film plays May, whose name in full is Metawee Mekasiri. After Oaboom is injured on her wedding day, Ai-oon is asked to end her sister’s relationship with May, and instead falls for her while May, who is blind, believes she is still with Oaboom. It is the performance that made the pairing.

Their third production together is Girl Rules, twelve episodes broadcast from 9 March to 1 June 2026, with Namtan as Prim and Film as Bambi.

Correction note. An earlier version of this page said the pairing began in 2024 and that Pluto was their first and only joint role, and it described Girl Rules as upcoming. All three statements were out of date or wrong. Last Twilight preceded Pluto by eleven months, and Girl Rules finished airing on 1 June 2026.

Nine genre labels sit on Pluto the Series, the pairing’s first lead series.

Pluto the Series carries drama, mystery, romance and melodrama, then adds hidden identity, slow burn, family, suspense and tearjerker. That spread describes structure as much as mood. Mystery and hidden identity are plot machinery, melodrama and tearjerker set the register, and family and slow burn describe stakes and pace. A straightforward campus romance would not need nine labels to be indexed accurately.

The production facts around it are plain enough. Twelve episodes of 58 minutes ran from 19 October 2024 to 4 January 2025 on GMM25 under GMMTV. The series is tagged GL and rated 13+. Joint runtime works out to 696 minutes, a little under twelve hours of shared screen time.

Reading a pairing by its genre spread rather than its credit count changes what a reader should expect from it. This one crosses suspense and mystery territory while staying inside a romance frame.

<p>The Pluto dynamic runs on a gap the audience can see and one of the characters cannot. Namtan plays a woman impersonating her injured twin; Film plays the girlfriend who is blind and has no way to catch the substitution. What keeps it from tipping into farce is how little either performer reaches for: the scenes are played quiet, and the tension comes from what is being withheld rather than from anything declared. That restraint was already visible in the smaller supporting roles they shared in Last Twilight a year earlier, and it is what the pairing has been asked to do again in Girl Rules.</p>

Source-strength note. Every line is marked won or nominated explicitly. These are largely fan-voted or media-outlet awards rather than industry-body awards, and they are given here as recorded in the performers’ award listings. Not listed here, because it is not a joint award: Film alone won Outstanding Asian Star, Thailand, at the 20th Seoul International Drama Awards 2025 for Pluto, in a category where Namtan was nominated. That one belongs on each performer’s own page and is a common mis-attribution.

TRIVIA & FUN FACTS

  • They shared a production a year before the pairing was promoted. Both were supporting cast in Last Twilight (2023), Namtan as Porjai and Film as Gee.
  • Namtan plays both twins in Pluto, Ai-oon and Oaboom Ingsamug, opposite Film’s May. The dual role is hers alone.
  • Different entry points, six years apart. Namtan began in the industry in 2013 as a co-host of the variety show Strawberry Krubcake; Film entered by winning the Go On Girl Star Search run with Clean and Clear in 2019, and signed with GMMTV afterwards.
  • Three productions, three registers: a supporting arc in a 2023 drama, a lead GL melodrama in 2024, and an ensemble series in 2026.
  • The pair name comes from studio usage. GMMTV’s own event and fan-meeting branding uses NamtanFilm in that order, including a fan meeting held in Taipei.

When did the NamtanFilm pairing begin?

They first shared a production in 2023, with Last Twilight. 2024 is the year they were first cast as a leading couple, in Pluto. An earlier version of this page gave 2024 as the start of the pairing outright and called Pluto their only joint role; both were corrected in September 2026.

Namtan plays a dual role as the twin sisters Ai-oon and Oaboom Ingsamug. Film plays May, whose full name in the series is Metawee Mekasiri, and who is blind. After Oaboom is injured on her wedding day, Ai-oon is asked to end her sister’s relationship with May and instead falls for her.

Are Namtan and Film dating?

The dating field on this page is set to unconfirmed. Namtan and Film are GMMTV colleagues who act opposite each other, and neither has made a public statement that would change that entry.

Did NamtanFilm win any awards?

Jointly, yes. They took The Best Couple at the Y Universe Awards 2025 for Pluto, and the Actress Award at the Japan Expo Thailand Award 2026, also for Pluto. They also hold six joint nominations they did not win. The full list, with each entry marked won or nominated, is in the awards section above. One award is often mis-attributed to the pair: Outstanding Asian Star at the 20th Seoul International Drama Awards 2025 went to Film alone, with Namtan nominated in the same category.

Which show should I start with?

Pluto (2024) is where the two first carry a series as leads and is the usual entry point. Last Twilight (2023) is where they first shared a screen, in supporting roles.

Why are some fields on this page empty?

Fandom name, joint Spotify link and the year the two first met carry no value because nothing we accept as a source states one.
