Okay, we have main heroine portrayed by Noona Nuengtida, who is not my favorite actress. She works in a kitchen for an annoying boss portrayed by Pae Arak, who doesn't give her proper work despite her being able to do way more than just wash dishes. She tends to be pushed aside by people who are more assertive, and doesn't stand up for herself. Her boss also doesn't give her better position to match her real skill but challenges her to stand up for herself, or better leave. So, she's about to leave but then she gets possessed by spunky, horny ghost. The ghost girl is portrayed by Gypsy Keerati but it doesn't do us any good 'coz for her to have a physical body we still have to look at Noona Nuengtida. When she's possessing Noona's body, we can hear Gypsy's voiceover and the character behaves with confidence, finally putting people stepping over her at their place. It doesn't do her any good though, because even given the chance to shine, she now doesn't have the skill. She only has the desire for any semi-attractive male around, including the 34-year old Pae Arak, whom I am not able to enjoy as "boy-toy". Oh my... crap.

Basically, when not possessed, this "dishwasher" knows the craft better than many chefs, but lets others walk all over her and even apologizes TO THEM. On the other hand, when possessed, she's practically arrogant towards everyone including the boss, while being crap at work (busy mostly with gossipping and flirting). So, I liked the possessed version even less. She was no better than the people stepping over the original girl and she reminded me of people from MY work, lol.

I think Pae Arak should be now cast only in comedy, preferably family, he already looks like a daddy and I can imagine him with toddlers crawling all over him but he's not convincing in scenes where he's supposed to be angry hot guy or speaking loud voice. I managed to withstand SEVENTEEN episodes with him in thai version of 'My Girl' while I was hating it. I don't think I can be so immensely patient again.

When the horny possessing ghost needed to quickly seduce a guy in the kitchen, I would literally prefer any other guy in there to Pae Arak. Also my head kept hurting from listening to constant squabble of practically all the characters. I missed the quiet girl:) Will she come back? I suppose that would be the only way to keep this show going. The two would take turns. The ghost girl would use her sharp elbows to make way for the shy girl to finally showcase that she can cook. Meanwhile, she can just wash dishes, and if anything she can disctract the boss by seducing him. After all, without her interference the shy girl would probably never marry, lol. Later hopefully the ghost girl shall be able to leave shy girl's life at peace, due the crazy premise that "only losing her virginity will help her to ascend to heaven". LOL.

Only I am not patient enough to watch it all unfold, not with this cast. I'll look forward next lakorn with Gypsy Keerati where she'll be more than a voice. I can't say the same about Pae Arak, but never mind. At least one more of his "main role" series is off my back.
