Plot

Kimhan unexpectedly meets his college senior Nubdao again, but he is the only one who remembers their history. Their relationship develops when he starts buying every product from the home shopping show she hosts and pretends the products constantly have problems, so that he can get close to her.³ Kimhan lives a second life as an artist under the name Klang Mesa (Midsummer); afraid to reveal himself, he also disguises himself as "loong nhuad", a mustached mystery man who encourages Nubdao by text message.³^•⁵

The deception spreads through the supporting cast. Pete poses as Klang Mesa, and Nubdao's best friend Nammon, a big fan of Klang Mesa, falls in love with Pete without knowing he is a fake.³ At the shopping network, Min-jun, the show's owner, orders Nubdao to present herself as more bold, sassy, and sexy; the producer Tankoon, Nubdao's close friend who secretly loves her, can do nothing but support her from afar.³^•⁵

Themes and reception

The Thai magazine The Standard described the series as a romance built to comfort working-age viewers, with its conflicts driven by a sexist, domineering boss rather than jealousy plots, and focused on loneliness and the frayed sense of self in urban life; the home shopping products Nubdao sells are pitched at people who live alone.⁵ The review praised Davika Hoorne's performance as warm and charming, and noted that Bright Vachirawit's role as a quiet, romantic young man amplified the pair's appeal.⁵ The Thai review site โกดังหนัง scored the series 8/10, calling the leads' pairing cute and romantic and noting that the story reflects the attitudes and behaviors of young people of its era.²

Broadcast versus online popularity. The series trended on Twitter with every episode, while its linear television rating stayed around the 0 level; The Standard attributed this to the channel's fan base having largely moved away from television to other platforms, so the low rating was not surprising.⁵ On the tracking site MyShows, the 18 episodes averaged 4.625 points, with individual episodes rated between 4.4 and 4.7.⁶
