Jane asked for someone to help. Heaven sent a rookie.

Be My Angel pairs BamBam Niwirin and Baipor Thitiya in a light-hearted Thai GL romance about a would-be baker and the angel who moves into her life. It comes from PENNYY STUDIO, an independent company founded by director Poy Pannares and executive producer Apiwan Janthapa (Baifern).

TL;DR / THE SHORT VERSION

Be My Angel at a glance

Thai GL · Romantic fantasy comedy · BamBam Niwirin as Z · Baipor Thitiya as Jane · PENNYY STUDIO.

Meet BamBam Niwirin

BamBam Niwirin Limkangwalmongkol is a singer and actor from Pattani. BamBam first reached television audiences through The Voice Thailand season three and went on to perform as DoubleBam.

GL viewers may also recognise BamBam as Yui in Blank season two (2024). Be My Angel puts BamBam at the centre of the romance as Z, the sweet, short-haired angel whose arrival overturns Jane’s life.

BamBam also performs the Be My Angel soundtrack, with a love song written by Sarah Salola. The role makes use of that musical background: Z’s singing becomes one of the clues to the character’s forgotten human life.

Meet Baipor Thitiya

Baipor Thitiya Jirapornsilp made her film debut in You & Me & Me (2023), playing both twin sisters. The filmmakers had planned to cast real twins, but her audition convinced them to give her both roles.

She reunited with co-star Anthony Buisseret in Not Friends (2023), a coming-of-age film about teenagers making a movie in memory of a classmate.

For Be My Angel, Poy cast Baipor in a role that called for both comedy and drama. She plays Jane opposite BamBam’s Z.

Jane wants to open a shio pan bakery. She turns to Lucky Points, an app that exchanges good deeds for wishes, hoping for startup money, an affordable building and someone by her side. Her balance falls short, but the request for “someone” goes through anyway.

Z arrives the next morning, assigned to help Jane for three months. The companion has arrived; competence appears to be on back order.

As the pair grow closer, Jane begins investigating Z’s forgotten human life. There is one small celestial objection: angels are forbidden from discovering their own past.

A little 90s rom-com inspiration

Director Poy Pannares drew on the warmth of 1990s romantic comedies, including Notting Hill. The bakery ambition and heavenly mishap give that familiar meet-cute a sapphic twist, with space for humour, romance and the mystery of Z’s identity.
