Manow Waneepan Ounphoklang

BIOGRAPHY

Manow Waneepan Ounphoklang (Thai: วณีพรรณ อ้วนโพธิ์กลาง; birth date not publicly disclosed) is a Thai television screenwriter working almost entirely for GMMTV. She is one of the three credited writers on Cherry Magic (2023), the Thai adaptation of Yuu Toyota’s Boys’ Love manga, alongside Mook Jarinee Thanomyat and PingPong Suwanun Pohgudsai.

Her name is romanised inconsistently across industry records. TMDB lists her under Waneepan Ounphoklang with the alternates Waneepan Huaphoklang, Waneepan Auanpoklang and Waneewan Auanpoklang, and one drama database renders her nickname as the English word “lemon” rather than transliterating it. มะนาว means “lime” in Thai and is normally written Manow or Manao. BLGLFLIX uses the display form Manow Waneepan Ounphoklang and records the variants rather than choosing silently between them. TMDB gives her place of birth only as Thailand, with no city.

Her earliest credits sit at the turn of 2016-2017, on the GMMTV comedy franchise Diary of Tootsies, and she took a co-producer credit on the film Mr. Hurt in 2017. Through the late 2010s she wrote for Wake Up Ladies The Series, Notification and Social Syndrome (2018), then Dive, One Night Steal and the feature Tootsies & The Fake (2019), and Turn Left Turn Right (2020).

In the 2020s she has been a fixture of the GMMTV writing rooms. Her credits include 46 Days, 55:15 Never Too Late and F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers (2021); The Three GentleBros and Good Old Days (2022); This I Promise You, Don’t Touch My Gang, Wednesday Club and Cherry Magic (2023); and Peaceful Property (2024). Most of these are long-form assignments, F4 Thailand and 55:15 Never Too Late ran to sixteen episodes each, Wake Up Ladies to twenty-three.

Her recent work includes MuTeLuv and its spin-off MuTeLuv: Fist Foot Fusion, I Love ‘A Lot Of’ You, Where I Wanna Be and the film Diva, la Vie (2025), plus the feature Beauty and the Beat (2025) and Love You Teacher (2026). No biographical material beyond her filmography, her place of birth and her name variants is published anywhere, so this profile stops at her credits rather than padding them out.
