Schoolyard comedies usually survive on a standard diet of missed homework deadlines, faculty feuds, sports festival drama, and clumsy hallway confessions. The live-action adaptation Pie and the 7 Witches, known in Thai as พายยกกำลังเจ็ด (Pie Yok Kamlang Jed, or Pie to the Power of Seven), takes that familiar campus routine and throws it into high-gear chaos with supernatural curses, identity trades, and accidental magic kisses.
Unveiled as one of the buzziest tentpole announcements at the GMMTV NEXT: Generation Happy showcase, the series marks the official live-action Thai adaptation of Miki Yoshikawa’s hit Japanese manga Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches (Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo).
Directed by Nat Thachai Komolpech and co-produced alongside Parbdee, the creative powerhouse behind acclaimed genre-defying hits like The Gifted, Wake Up Ladies, and F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers—the production brings high-concept supernatural mystery and physical comedy to a worldwide audience.
The Premise: A Collision on the Stairs
The plot centers on Pie, played by Fourth Nattawat Jirochtikul. Pie is the school’s resident delinquent—a restless, quick-tempered troublemaker who skips homeroom, picks fights behind the bleachers, and finds high school life mind-numbingly dull. His entire existence flips upside down one afternoon during a freak tumble down a flight of concrete stairs. On his way down, his lips crash directly into Meen, played by Mim Rattanawadee Wongthong, the quiet, honors-obsessed top student of their year.
When the dust settles and both students regain consciousness in the infirmary, they realize something has gone bizarrely wrong: they have swapped physical bodies. After panicking and running a series of chaotic tests, Pie and Meen figure out the bizarre trigger: kissing each other reverses the physical swap. To study their situation without landing in detention or alerting the disciplinary committee, they revive the campus’s dusty, abandoned Supernatural Studies Club.
What begins as a scramble to survive midterms inside someone else’s skin soon spirals into a much deeper mystery. While digging through forgotten club records, the pair uncovers an ancient urban legend: their school is home to seven special female students known as “witches,” each carrying a distinct supernatural ability, from telepathy and memory wipes to charm spells, that can only be activated through a kiss.
To track down all seven witches, uncover their secret abilities, and break the campus curse once and for all, Pie has to plunge into a minefield of personality reversals, supernatural clashes, and an escalating series of wildly awkward kissing incidents across the student body.
Fourth Nattawat’s Comedic Expansion
For international viewers following Thai media trends, Pie and the 7 Witches signals an important step in how GMMTV develops its top-tier young talent. Global audiences widely recognize Fourth Nattawat as one half of the “GeminiFourth” screen pairing, which blew up internationally through the musical BL sensation My School President and its spiritual successor My Love Mix-Up!.
While GMMTV continues to invest heavily in flagship pair projects, the network has increasingly given its breakout stars runway to anchor diverse solo headliner roles. Pie and the 7 Witches puts Fourth front and center in a demanding slapstick performance. The role requires him to swing wildly between a brash, slouching male rebel and a prim, bookish, panic-stricken teenage girl trapped inside a delinquent’s frame. Nailing those rapid-fire physical transformations requires sharp comedic timing, fluid body language, and zero self-consciousness on camera, allowing Fourth to showcase an entirely different side of his acting toolkit.
The Cast: Rising Stars and Genre Veterans
The production pairs Fourth with an equally versatile young lead, supported by an energetic ensemble:
Fourth Nattawat Jirochtikul drives the physical engine of the show as Pie. Fourth went from a promising newcomer to a global fan favorite through My School President, carrying that momentum into dramatic turns in Moonlight Chicken, F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers, and the major historical epic Scarlet Heart Thailand. With his natural comedic instinct, expressive facial timing, and high-energy delivery, Fourth handles the rapid physical swings of body-swapping with ease.
Mim Rattanawadee Wongthong stars opposite him as Meen. Mim earned critical acclaim and widespread recognition across Southeast Asian cinema for her standout turn in the record-breaking horror blockbuster Tee Yod (Death Whisperer), proving her ability to carry intense, demanding material. In Pie and the 7 Witches, Mim completely flips her screen image, bouncing between an uptight, anxious academic overachiever and a gruff, rude teenage boy trying to survive inside a girl’s uniform.
The supporting cast brings together a lively mix of rising studio talents, including Benz Atichart, Satang Kittiphop, Aun Napat, Mata, Chari, Luke, Lana, and Mook, who fill out the eccentric Supernatural Studies Club roster and the mysterious circle of hidden campus witches.
