BASED ON A NOVEL BY DOK MAI SOD

Wichai.

Every day that I spend with you is extraordinary.

So how can you say you're boring?

Someone sent me these documents to expose him.

This person wants me to help them take Thian-chai down.

About what happened yesterday,

the gunman wasn't sent there to kill us.

Yesterday, Eiam knew that a gunman was coming to kill me.

He was going to make it look like a fight broke out between two villages.

So Eiam sneaked me out of there.

Thian-chai's wife wanted me to ask you

if you would help her file a divorce against her husband.

Wichai can't even protect you.

It was his fault that Prasit almost died.

You should take Prasit to recover at home.

Follow me home soon.

You once promised us

that you wouldn't marry anyone we don't approve of.

Honestly, who would want a man like Wichai as their brother-in-law?

Me. I like him.

Anong.

You see?

Even his own best friend

doesn't approve of him.

I don't like what he did to you.

It was like he forced your hand to be with him.

Wichai didn't steal me away.

I ran away to be with him.

How many times do I have to tell you that?

Why are you so besotted with him?

It's like he put a spell on you

to make you fall head over heels for him.

Wichai's job requires him to judge people.

But personally,

I've never seen him impose his own values onto others.

What I like about him is that

he never looks down on anyone.

Right.

Unlike some people here.

I'm helping the madam file a divorce against her husband.

Thian-chai didn't expect that his wife would dare divorce him.

I heard that the mayor is very upset by this matter.

He's afraid that his daughter will leave Thian-chai for her driver.

This has become the talk of the town

after the gunman turned himself in and confessed that

he was indeed hired to kill Thian-chai's wife.

Madam. Look at this.

"The beautiful socialite disappeared

to mend her broken heart.

She's now having a shotgun wedding after getting knocked up.

We'll soon see which unlucky man she has found to be her groom."

I knew that girl was up to no good.

She slept around and got herself knocked up.

Maybe she did it out of spite after getting dumped by Chut.

Chut really dodged a bullet.

If he's still single, he might be the one to offer to take responsibility.

I wonder which unlucky man she's found to marry her.

This is just a rumor.

You're too prejudiced.

You're ready to believe she's pregnant when that's not the truth.

Choy is way too naive.

Will she raise her daughter to be a fool like her?

I think that's possible.

I have exciting news.

The government is planning to hold a Constitution Day celebration.

They assigned each ministry

to select pretty women to participate in a beauty pageant.

The girls will have to wear swimsuits, so none of the women want to do it.

But someone thought of me and invited me to join the contest.

They think I should be forward-thinking enough to do it.

Those who participate in the contest can't be married.

They have to be single.

The contest is at the end of the year.

If I agree to do this, it means we can't get married yet.

But I already turned them down.

I told them I can't wait that long since I have plans to get married.

ANONG

Master!

Master!

Looks like a storm is coming.

Thank you.

BIG STORM HITS TRANG

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE MISSING AND SEVERAL DEAD

Is there a letter for me from Wichai?

No, ma'am.

Prasit.

I haven't heard from Wichai in a few days.

Maybe he's busy.

There's a storm in Trang.

The waves are huge.

BIG STORM HITS TRANG

He's probably lost at sea somewhere.

We still haven't heard from Wichai. We can't contact anyone.

We also haven't heard from Boi.

All we can do is pray for Wichai's safety.

Mom is about to go make merit for Wichai

and pray to the gods to protect him.

Thank you so much for coming to ask about him.

- Let's go, Choy. - Okay.

If you need me to,

I'll go to Trang and look for Wichai.

It's okay. Chut already said he would go.

If there's anything I can do,

please let me know.

Thank you.

How is Anong doing?

She hasn't slept or eaten.

She seems weak and often gets dizzy.

Don't tell anyone about this.

Shouldn't we get a doctor to examine her?

Wichai has the nerve to leave her after doing this to her.

What will we do if something really happens to him?

He's a scumbag for leaving Anong

to carry his baby.

It's here.

Wichai sent you a letter, Anong.

It's from Trang.

No matter what happens, please know that I love you.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, PLEASE KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU

What's the matter? Is everything okay?

What's wrong?

Why are you all acting weird? Let me see.

Anong.

It's okay, Anong.

- Direk. - Yes, sir.

Send someone to look for Wichai.

Tell them to bring him back even if he's dead.

Yes, sir.

It's okay, Anong.

I promise.

I'll bring him back to you.

Chut was about to go find Wichai, but then we received a letter.

Hurry up and read it.

What happened?

Is Wichai okay? Why are you making that face?

He's more than okay. He's planning to get married.

"I'm on my way home. I'm going to ask a girl to marry me."

Is he getting married?

Who will Wichai marry?

I'm wondering the same thing, ma'am.

This is impossible. How can Wichai get married?

Chut, are you sure this is addressed to us?

Yes. This is our address.

We were worried for nothing.

There must be some kind of misunderstanding.

This can't be happening. How can Wichai get married?

That letter can't be from him.

I am his mom.

Why don't I know anything about this?

Who is Wichai marrying?

This can't be true.

Anong.

Are you here to hear news about Wichai?

Right.

She's here to get an update about the situation.

At least this is good news.

Wichai is coming home.

Aren't you all happy about that?

Wichai isn't even home yet and he just dropped a bomb on us.

What if he's being fooled by some woman?

My gosh. Who is he planning to marry? Why don't I know about this?

Wichai!

I thought I wouldn't make it back.

Do you know how worried I was about you?

I just realized that I haven't been taking good care of you.

That's the only reason that I can't let myself die yet.

I don't want to make you cry.

I won't let anything happen to you as long as I'm alive.

Forget the beauty pageant.

Just be my bride.

May I have your permission to marry Anong?

Isn't it a bit too late to ask me that?

I fought my way back home

just for this reason.

You gave us no choice

but to say yes to you.

I admit that what we did was wrong,

but we didn't do anything inappropriate.

They're already married.

As a judge,

you make people take an oath.

So you shouldn't go around

telling lies to others.

The people there only threw a small wedding for us.

It was just a celebration.

Anong and I agreed that we'd have another wedding here.

I'll have my family come and ask for her hand.

I'm ready to take full responsibility.

You barely made it back home.

How will you be able to take care of Anong?

I'll rejoin the government service.

We won't have to move if I get to work here as a judge.

That's good.

I won't let Anong live a rough life.

I promise that I won't let Anong go through any hardships.

You've all taken good care of her

and I'll make sure to do even better.

Hey, Wichai. Get over here.

Who are you planning to marry? You've never shown interest in anyone.

Now you suddenly want to get married.

Tell me who the woman is.

How did you two know each other?

You already know this person.

She is someone who's close to our family.

Who is it?

I'm marrying Anong.

That name sounds familiar.

That's right.

It's Anong Suntorapong, the girl who lives next door.

What?

Do you mean Anong?

Anong who used to date Chut?

Are you going to take responsibility for the baby?

What are you talking about? What baby?

Anong is pregnant. Didn't she tell you that?

Everyone knows about it.

You're a fool for letting her trick you into marrying her.

Listen, Mom. Anong isn't--

Here. Just take a look at this.

So you're the unlucky man who will be marrying her?

WE'LL SOON SEE WHICH UNLUCKY MAN

SHE HAS FOUND TO BE HER GROOM

Someone must've told the press

that I was with you in Trang.

It has to be someone in my family

since no one else knew about this.

Someone in my family must have ratted us out.

It's no wonder why all your brothers seem to detest me.

They all act like they won't let you marry me.

They probably think I'm pregnant.

If that's what they want to believe,

we can let them think what they want.

Anong, we can't do that.

This rumor is hurting your reputation.

If my brothers think I'm not pregnant,

they will never let us get married.

I think we should go along with it and let everyone think I'm pregnant.

We can't lie about something like this.

Soon enough, people are going to know the truth.

No one will see me in a better light even if I try to defend myself.

People don't care about the truth.

They just want to have something to gossip about.

I'd rather it be me than you who's the target of gossip.

Anong.

This isn't spicy. You can eat this.

You need to eat more.

You're getting too thin.

I heard that Chuang wants her daughter to study accounting.

Her dad wants her to get a good education.

And how is Luang Sak doing? Does he still have a headache?

I have some medicine that can help with that.

He said it comes and goes.

So he and Chuang moved their family abroad.

Is that so?

I see.

Right, Chut.

My store now carries the new model of radio that you want.

You should come to check it out.

How did you know about that?

I let her read all of your letters.

So she knows about everything.

I usually ask Anong to help me

type up the letters that I sent you.

Did you have someone come to fix the rain gutter yet?

I remember that you wanted Wichai to help pay for the repair.

Did you give your mom the money, Wichai?

I don't want you to think that

I intentionally keep things to myself.

You really know a lot.

I suppose we really are close since you know so much about us.

I truly apologize if I overstepped my boundaries.

It was me

who gave Anong permission to read all of your letters.

I wanted her to know you better.

I wonder how much you know about Wichai.

If Wichai rejoins the government service as a judge,

this premarital pregnancy

can cause people to lose respect for him

because it will show that he lacks self-control.

I'm glad you brought that up. I want to explain--

Personally,

I think it'd be such a shame if the state had a regulation against that

since they'd be losing a good and capable man like Wichai.

He didn't do anything

that's against the law.

What he did may not be illegal, but it is immoral.

You got that?

I think I can explain to the government about this,

but no one has yet to ask me anything.

You should hold off on the wedding since the mistake is already made.

We'll just have to go with it.

Try to keep this to yourself.

Just wait until the baby is born.

Then we'll see whether the baby really is Wichai's.

If the baby takes after his dad,

I know he will have good manners.

Wichai's flesh and blood wouldn't go around

making spiteful comments about others.

But I can't say for sure

whether the baby will have Wichai's self-control.

Show me what you've learned since we last saw each other.

Can you write me something?

Can you write a sentence for me?

Yes.

Hey.

Congratulations.

You and Ms. Anong are a perfect match.

You're the first person to tell me that.

You're a caring and generous person.

You need someone straightforward like Ms. Anong

to help speak up for you.

Just look at how she talked back to your mom.

No one would dare do that except her.

Where is everybody?

Are you going to marry Ms. Anong?

Would you like her

to become a part of our family?

If you love her, then I'll love her too.

Gosh.

That's so sweet of you.

Without you,

Ms. Anong and I wouldn't have ended up together.

She had you play matchmaker for the longest time.

What are you all doing?

The radio just played our song, Wichai.

Our song?

You know, it's the song

that you like to sing for me.

I want to hear it again. Can you come sing it for me?

All right.

We'll be right back.

- All right. - Okay.

You and I know we don't have a song.

You just don't want me near Chantorn.

Let's rub our love in her face and make her regret not choosing you.

Come on. You're not going to make her regret anything.

I want her to see that she missed out on a really great guy.

You really don't have to do this.

We've never danced together.

You've never asked me to dance with you.

You're always dancing with some other guy.

You'll be the only guy I dance with from now on.

This is to get back at Chut.

Chantorn might've left you for him,

but you've found someone better.

How do you know this will work?

Chut might be thinking he's the lucky one

since his wife isn't the jealous type.

I have the right to be jealous

since you are mine.

Other women have no right

to be jealous of you.

Some people here must be annoyed to see how in love we are.

No one is feeling that way.

Your mom doesn't want me as her daughter-in-law.

But I'm going to make her see your worth.

You'll no longer be invisible in her eyes.

Anong.

Since when does a girl dare show her love so openly?

Even Wichai is more reserved.

Wichai has never been seduced.

He's completely bewitched by that tramp.

Life has been cruel to Wichai.

His first marriage failed.

You should let him be happy.

Wichai could lose everything he has

if he doesn't have self-control.

I'm not going to let that happen.

I sincerely apologize

for disrespecting you and Anong with my rash actions.

You had never overstepped your boundaries.

Anong was the one who chased after you

and caused the matter to get out of hand.

It's both our decision to start dating each other,

but we were wrong for not coming to you first.

So I've brought my mom with me today

to ask for Anong's hand in marriage and to talk about the dowry.

We're relieved that Anong's decided to settle down,

especially when the person that she will be marrying is you.

As for the dowry,

we won't ask for much.

What's important here is that these two love each other.

Anong is the whole package.

A dowry of one million baht seems like a reasonable ask to me.

One million baht?

It's one thing if your sister is without flaws.

But she's like damaged goods.

One million baht is just too much.

You seem to forget that

it was Wichai who put her in this position.

My son also lost his chance to be with a good woman.

What are you implying?

Calm down, everyone.

Let's talk about the living arrangements.

Have you thought about where you'll live?

I have.

I'm going to build us a house.

In the meantime, we'll be staying at my family's house.

There will be too many people living in that house.

It will be too crowded.

Then let's not rush the wedding.

They can get married once their house is ready.

Are you willing to wait that long?

I've found an auspicious date.

It's in six weeks from now.

I don't want to wait any longer.

If you promise to build a suitable house for Anong,

we'll ask for a dowry of 500,000 baht.

But you must throw Anong a wedding

that's appropriate for a woman of her status.

You really think like a banker and a businessman.

You even try to profit from your sister's wedding.

That money is nothing compared to what my sister has.

Not to mention the money that she'll make in the future.

- Then let her-- - It's settled then.

I agree to all of your conditions and I promise that

I won't touch Anong's inheritance or any of her assets.

I want no part in her family business,

including the profit she makes.

You have my word.

What a relief.

I thought Pong would never agree to let us get married.

Sompong was just unhappy with me.

Don't forget that he once asked me to help get guys out of your life.

Pong has never been this critical of you.

He really tries to find fault with you now that he knows we're getting married.

He just has high standards for his sister's partner.

I also thought a lot of guys didn't deserve you.

I need to hold myself to the same standards.

I just need to earn your brothers' trust.

Thank you for fighting for me.

But you shouldn't let my brothers bully you too much.

If I had known things would be this hard…

- What? - What would you have done?

Well, I'm just thinking that

I should've waited

and asked you to marry me

when you were about to become a spinster.

If I knew you saw me as a sure thing, I wouldn't wait for you.

Looks like I'm stuck with you forever.

Fine. Then in our next life,

I hope you fall in love with me first.

So I won't have to be the one to chase after you.

I look forward to it.

Hello.

This is quite late.

Do you need me to go now?

Are you sure he can do this?

It's been almost 20 minutes. He still can't get us a table.

Is he gullible or just clueless?

Wichai isn't gullible.

He's just honest.

What's that?

Let me see.

He doesn't like to break the rules since he's a judge.

He's too naive for his own good.

He's just like this dork.

Which dork?

He can't even get us a table.

How can he look after Anong?

Are you sure this guy's not dumb?

Hey. Wait for me.

What are you doing?

We didn't reserve a table.

Right this way, sir.

Do you think those people made a reservation?

Why didn't you say you're with me?

Mr. Jamlong?

Goodness. Good evening, sir.

Here.

This is my brother-in-law. Take good care of him.

It's a pleasure to serve you, sir. I'll go prepare a table for you.

You're a respectable judge.

You need to learn to use your title to your advantage.

You can use your title to get special treatment,

but it can make people think you owe them a favor.

So I try not to do it.

You're too principled.

It's why no one respects you.

Please come inside, sir. Your table is ready.

Let's go.

Right this way, sir.

Please come in.

- Let's go. - Welcome.

Come on.

Let's go home.

- Hey, Sawaeng. - Prasit, watch your step.

- Where's our car? - It's over there.

- Right there? - It's not that way.

The car is over there. Go that way.

- Which way do I go? - Come on, Pong.

- Watch your step, Prasit. - Come on.

Wait. Just hold it in. Wait until we get to the car. Prasit.

- Prasit, wait. - Pong, help him!

Hey. You bastard. What the hell are you doing?

I'm sorry. Please forgive my brother. I'll clean this up for you.

He threw up on my car.

- Sir, please calm down. - This is a mess.

- Gosh. - I'll take care of it.

I need to lie down, Wichai.

Here. Just take this money.

This isn't enough.

Do you want more money?

Here.

- What? - Take this.

We can settle this in court.

See you in court.

You heard him. We'll see you in court.

- Bye. - See you soon.

- Do we have to go to court? - Hey!

Stop giving my name cards to people!

- Wichai. - Prasit.

- We're almost there. - I'm sleepy.

Let me help, sir.

- I got it from here. - Thank you.

- Direk. - Be careful, sir.

Come on. Watch your step.

- Just walk slowly. - I feel dizzy.

I need to lie down.

- Hey. - Let me lie down.

Did my brothers make you drive for them?

Why did you agree?

It's fine. I think they just wanted to test me.

This is unacceptable.

- How dare they do this? - Anong.

We're about to become one family.

I don't mind taking care of your brothers.

I'm afraid they won't just ask you to drive for them next time.

Wichai.

You don't need to put up with their crap.

You have my permission to stand up to them.

Prasit is getting out of control.

He likes to put stuff in my shoes every morning.

The other day, I pricked my foot because he put a cactus in my shoe.

Thank you.

It serves you right.

You get naughty every time you drink.

What the hell is this?

Did you do this? Look at it!

It wasn't me. I didn't do it.

- You didn't? - No.

- It wasn't me. - Get over here.

All you ever do is cause trouble.

- I should give you a beating. - No. Don't do it.

- Get over here. - Leave me alone.

It's not just the shoes now.

Prasit even caused trouble with the bird.

What bird?

It's the general's bird.

The general asked Sawaeng to take care of it.

It suddenly said something rude this morning.

Someone must've taught those words to the bird.

Now Sawaeng is afraid to give the bird back to his future father-in-law

since the general might think Sawaeng taught it to curse at him.

I can't believe Prasit would do that.

I know, right?

Should I let the dress out at the waist just in case?

What did you hear about me?

Oh, it's nothing.

I just see that you're looking a little plump.

Goodness.

Congratulations.

It's almost your wedding day, right?

It's unbelievable

that you'd eventually end up with someone in the Warathabut family.

Everyone wants to know who your groom is.

When I told them it's Wichai who works at the court,

they all thought I meant the tennis court.

Gosh.

No one seems to know who Wichai is.

Some even think you're marrying an imaginary man.

Are you here by yourself?

Isn't Jamlong here with you?

I have some errands to run today, so I didn't ask him to come.

Jamlong mentioned that he was going to take a girl

to see a movie.

I really thought

that he was talking about you.

Goodness. I wonder who Jamlong is going to bring

to our wedding as his date.

I heard she's getting her dressed tailored here.

He even gave me a check for the dress.

He also told me

to help take care of his future bride.

Here you go.

I don't think you'll need a dress

since you might not be invited to the wedding.

Do you really want

a woman like her to be the mom of your kid?

I'll tell you what.

Once we have our wedding invitations ready,

I'll have one sent to you.

We hope to see you at our wedding.

Let's go.

We'll be back later for the dress.

Can I see that?

NUALNART SUKSAWAI - 1,000 BAHT

Why did you have to invite her?

People call you Priest Atthakadee Wichai.

Are you trying to live up to that name?

No.

I invited her to the wedding

so we can tell her and everyone else that you're not pregnant.

She already knows that.

She's just looking to destroy my reputation.

Is Sa-Ang the reason your brothers are fighting?

What?

I'm talking about the pranks with the shoes.

Prasit is just a scapegoat.

I think the person who puts things in Jamlong's shoes is Sawaeng.

He's mad that Jamlong won't settle down with Sa-Ang,

so he can't marry Payom.

What makes you think that?

Well…

It's like what people do at the courthouse.

People write stuff all over the bathroom walls

because they want to let out their anger towards the court.

They're too afraid to break the laws, so they break small rules instead.

Goodness. You seem to know a lot about this.

I do.

Someone put chewing gum in Sompong's shoe.

That was you, right?

Did you do this?

Look at it!

I'm onto you.

You're mad that Sompong is hostile towards me,

so you tried to get back at him.

Right?

But I had nothing to do with the bird.

I didn't teach it to say anything.

What did the bird say?

Here you go.

- Dead broke. - What?

Now say that again.

- Dead… - Dead broke.

- Dead broke. - Good job.

Jamlong is mad at the general

because he got the bank to give him a loan and wouldn't pay it back.

Jamlong approved the general's loan request

and Pong was furious at him.

This is why Jamlong is distancing himself from Sa-Ang.

I think that

Jamlong is still mad about the loan,

so he tries to get back at the general.

This is because

everyone knows that

they can blame everything on Prasit.

So everyone threw the blame on him.

Are you starting to get scared

now that you see what my family is like?

Not really.

Actually,

I think everyone's ready to take my side.

Here.

Everyone is willing to help me pay the dowry

if I can find proof to catch the person who pranked them.

Wichai, can you help discipline him?

If you can do it, I'll help you pay for the dowry.

- I'll give you 100,000. - What? Are you joking?

I'm totally serious.

Just help straighten him out.

Help me out here.

After you told me about the bird, I knew Sawaeng would ask for my help.

Even Prasit called and asked me to help talk to Pong for him.

At this rate, I might not have to pay a single baht for the dowry

if everyone helps me pay for it.

Did my brothers really offer to help you?

Now I get it.

That's why I found this at my house.

What?

I was wondering

how your name cards ended up at my house.

My brothers

didn't offer to give you money because they wanted to help you.

What they want

is to benefit from your influence and connections.

They're not taking your side.

They're just taking advantage of you.

Come on.

How can a lowly civil servant like me help them with anything?

You know what?

I don't think we need to have a big wedding.

Let's have a small ceremony with just our families.

Why?

My brothers will probably invite lots of influential people to the wedding.

Those people might bring gifts for us.

They might expect you

to do something in return for them.

I think we should avoid the problems and just have a small wedding.

But it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Don't you want to have a beautiful wedding like other people?

We've already had a wedding.

In my eyes, we already got married a long time ago.

- Hey, there. - Are you leaving?

I need to get back to work.

I'll see you.

Wait. Hold on.

Are you going to work looking like this?

Right.

Thank you.

MANAGER'S OFFICE

Wichai acts like a completely different person

after he came back from Trang.

People at the ministry said that

Wichai was offered the position of the chief magistrate in the north,

but he turned it down so he could stay in Bangkok

because he didn't want that woman to live a difficult life.

He's probably forgotten

that the reason he became a judge was to redeem our family's honor.

He's going to regret this one day.

He can't keep making compromises in his marriage forever.

Yes?

What do you think would be the reason

that might break us up?

What kind of question is that?

I think if we were to break up,

it would be because of other people.

I never had any doubts when we were in Trang.

Now I'm not so sure if we'll make it.

Listen.

If being here makes you uncomfortable,

you can tell me.

Is the position

of the chief magistrate

a high-ranking position?

You should've called me.

I could come give you a massage.

You won't have time for me

once you're married.

I'll always have time for you.

If you're upset about something,

you can tell me.

If you don't want Anong to live here,

I can move out.

What did she tell you?

Do you know why

I decided not to take the job outside of Bangkok?

It's because I want our family to be together.

But if you're uncomfortable,

I can move into Anong's house.

I just don't want people to think I'm living off of her.

So I'm taking Anong to live here temporarily.

This is just temporary.

She can stay here. I'm not complaining.

Mom.

If you're unhappy, just be honest with me.

Don't do to me what you did to Chut.

I know it was you

who showed Chantorn's family the mortgage contract

and caused Chut and Chantorn to fight.

If you don't approve of Anong,

I'll be the one moving out.

But please don't say that she ruined my future.

But it's true.

Anong was the reason

that I decided to become a judge again.

I know my career is important.

But my family is important to me too.

I don't want to have another failed marriage.

You should get some rest.

Give us a second.

We're ready now.

May your marriage be filled with love, trust, and respect.

May you have the patience to go through every obstacle together.

Anong Suntorapong is no more.

ANONG WARATHABUT

She said she had a stomachache.

I think she might've got an abortion.

What are you talking about?

I heard it with my own ears.

I'm afraid the baby will become repressed

if he grows up in this family.

I'd rather not have kids now.

I have proof.

She took Chinese medicine to end her pregnancy.

Rumor has it that Wichai once got his wife to accept a bribe.

He took the man's money and still sent him to prison.

So that man's holding a grudge against Wichai.

Who is he?

He's an ex-con.

Chantorn took a sick leave. She's not feeling well.

Did you know your wife leaves the house every morning

and never goes to work?
