Den Panuwat Inthawat

Den Panuwat Inthawat (Thai: เด่น ภาณุวัฒน์ อินทวัฒน์) is a Thai director, screenwriter, author and acting coach, and the director of the 2026 Domundi TV historical Boys’ Love series Love Upon a Time. He is an alumnus of the dramatic arts programme in the Faculty of Arts at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.

His career began on the page rather than behind the camera. He wrote for War of Y (2022), then for the 2023 Boys’ Love titles Only Friends and Playboyy, followed by the anthology Tomorrow and I (2024).

The move into directing came with Domundi TV in 2025. He directed The Next Prince and its extended cut The Next Prince: Uncut, then Khemjira in the same year, and then Love Upon a Time in 2026, three consecutive Domundi productions, two of them starring the NetJJ pairing of Net Siraphop Manithikhun and JJ Radchapon Phornpinit. A further title, Still Holding up like the Moon, is listed as in production.

Love Upon a Time is a dual-timeline adaptation of littlebbear96’s novel ภพเธอ, set in a present-day frame and in the Ayutthaya Kingdom four centuries earlier, with most of the principal cast playing two versions of the same person. The screenplay is credited to May Piangpaitoon Satrawaha and Porndee Satrawaha.

He also works in front of the camera occasionally, taking a guest role as a lecturer in Love Upon a Time itself and appearing as himself across the behind-the-scenes and documentary output for his own productions, as well as a guest appearance in War of Y (2022) and Deep Night: Behind the Scenes (2024).
