According to DEADLINE: EXCLUSIVE: Singapore-based sales company Mokster Films has unveiled new film project Lady Bee, an adaptation of Thai literary classic ‘The Story of Jan Dara,’ ahead of this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Lady Bee will star Thai singer-actress Engfa Waraha. Waraha won the Best Actress prize at the 2025 Thailand Box Office Awards for her role in family drama feature The Paradise of Thorns. Lady Bee is set to begin principal photography in late-2025. ‘The Story of Jan Dara’ is a 1960s novel written by Utsana Phloengtham and the film adaptation seeks to tell the story “for the first time through the eyes of its most enigmatic female character, Lady Boonleung.”

The novel The Story of Jan Dara (1960) has already been adapted twice for the screens. There’s the movie Jan Dara (2001) and Jan Dara: The Beginning (2012), the latter one is available on MUBI. I haven’t watched it yet, but comments say they are very intense and that they will likely tone things down in this new version.
Engfa is the star of The Paradise of Thorns alongside Jeff Satur (he is currently the most internationally famous Thai singer). He has a music video with Becky and is close friends with Freen. The movie is available on Netflix in some countries.
As far as I know Engfa is the only one that has been casted so far. Maybe another reason why they didn't show the faces. Engfa will be at Cannes this year to promote it and get some more investors. I think it'll premiere at Cannes next year. Since you only watched Show Me Love so far you haven't really seen what Engfa is really capable of in terms of acting. Petrichor will give you a better picture. She was incredible in Paradise of Thorns but it's unfortunately very straight. Currently she is also nominated for a Nataraja Award (which are basically the Thai Emmy's) for Best Leading Actress for her role in Bangkok Blossom. Petrichor is also nominated for Best Drama. I think it might be the first GL ever nominated at these awards.
