Actors whose pairing is still being built in front of the audience.
From DMD Friendship to Love Upon a Time, their duo does not appear as something already fully defined. It grows through choice, adjustment, and first experiences on screen.
Today, Latte and Kim are not yet a pairing built on certainty they are still finding their rhythm, but that is also what makes their journey interesting to follow.
Latte Thanutchon: A Softer Path Through Domundi
Latte Thanutchon Chankaewarmorn entered the Domundi world earlier, as part of DMD Gen 3.
Before becoming associated with Kim as a pairing, he was already visible through Domundi’s collective activities, including DMD Friendship and group projects linked to his generation. His trajectory feels less like a sudden discovery and more like a gradual presence.
There is something soft in the way Latte’s path has developed.
He does not arrive with a heavily documented acting background or a long list of solo roles, but he already has the familiarity of someone fans have slowly learned to recognize. He feels like someone who has been growing step by step, first within a group, and now toward a more personal place as an actor.
His presence feels gentle, approachable, and still open, at this stage, his acting identity is not fully defined yet, but that is also what makes this part of his career interesting. He is moving from collective visibility toward a space where he can begin to show more of himself.
For Latte, the question is not only what kind of actor he is today, but what kind of actor he may become once he is given more room to explore emotion, tension, and character development.
Kim Pongsaton: A Calm Presence in Construction
Kim Pongsaton Sittipan is part of DMD Gen 4, one of the newer generations introduced through Domundi’s system of training, performance, and public exposure.
His first major visibility came through DMD Friendship season two, a format designed not only to introduce new faces, but also to observe how they interact, perform, and connect with others.
In this context, Kim stood out through a quiet and steady presence rather than an immediately dramatic one.
His Best Friendship Award is interesting for that reason, it does not necessarily define him as the most obvious star of the show, but it says something important about the way he connects with people. Kim seems to build closeness through softness, attention, and reliability.
His acting identity is still in development he does not yet have a long enough filmography to attach him to one clear acting style, but his presence already gives a sense of calm control. He feels like an actor who may grow through emotional nuance rather than exaggeration.
What makes Kim interesting at this stage is not that everything already feels complete. It is the opposite, there is still room to grow, to adjust, and to surprise the audience, and that makes his evolution worth following.
A Pairing Built Through Mutual Choice
Latte and Kim’s duo did not begin with a drama role it began through DMD Friendship, where their connection developed in front of the audience before being placed into fiction.
That origin matters.
Their pairing was not introduced first through a scripted romance it came through interaction, observation, and mutual choice.
During the final partner selection, Kim chose Latte, and Latte chose Kim.
They were not necessarily presented as the most dominant pair of the show, but that may actually make their dynamic more interesting. Their beginning feels less like an established pairing and more like a possibility that slowly found its direction and this also explains part of the audience’s reaction to them.
Latte and Kim are not received like a duo that already has years of shared dramas behind them. The public response around them feels curious, attentive, and still growing, some viewers discovered their potential through DMD Friendship, while others began to see them differently through Love Upon a Time.
After their first series, there is also a genuine excitement around them, their chemistry is still forming, and their future will depend on what new projects allow them to show, but the enthusiasm from fans is already visible.
Their pairing does not ask the audience to believe that everything is already perfect it invites the audience to watch the construction happen.
Love Upon a Time: Their First Fictional Step
Love Upon a Time marks an important step for Latte and Kim because it gives their duo a first scripted space.
The series follows Nakhun, a modern student who is transported nearly four hundred years into the past, during the Ayutthaya period. There, he is mistaken for Klao, a young man who has disappeared, and must navigate a world he does not fully understand while trying to uncover the truth and find his way back.
Within this story, Latte plays Thee in the present and Jom in the past, while Kim plays Pun in the present and Kaew in the past.
Their characters are not the central couple of the series, but they are part of its emotional structure. Through them, the drama creates echoes between the modern timeline and the historical one, their roles help reinforce one of the key ideas of the story the strange feeling of recognizing people across time, even when everything around them has changed.
Their storyline also brings another layer to the series by showing a queer relationship within a historical context it gives their characters a quiet emotional weight, and allows Latte and Kim to exist beyond simple supporting roles.
For Latte and Kim, this position is interesting because Love Upon a Time does not ask them to carry the whole series as a main couple. Instead, it gives them a space to exist together inside a larger narrative.
That can be valuable for a new pairing, it allows them to explore their screen dynamic without having to carry the entire story alone it also gives the audience a first real opportunity to read them not only as Domundi artists, but as actors beginning to build something together on screen.
Their storyline may not define the entire series, but it gives them enough space to leave an impression. For a pairing still in its early stage, that first impression matters, and Love Upon a Time feels like a very promising first acting step for them.
A Quiet Beginning With Room to Grow
Latte and Kim are still at the beginning of their journey.
Their pairing does not yet have the strong history of more established Domundi duos, and their individual careers are still being shaped. But that is exactly what makes them worth watching.
Latte brings a softer and more gradual energy, Kim brings a calm and steady presence and together, they form a duo that still needs time, projects, and experience to fully reveal itself, but we can already feel that there may be something bright ahead of them.
Love Upon a Time may not be the final definition of Latte and Kim, but it feels like a first real step. It gives their dynamic a place in the audience’s mind and opens the possibility for something bigger.
For now, they are not a pairing built on certainty, they are a pairing built on potential and sometimes, that is the most interesting stage to witness.
