Monthai is from a rich and well respected family, and is the only son of his mother (who is the legal wife) and his father. He is also engaged and in love with the family friend's eldest daughter, Viyada. Due to Monthai's father being a womaniser with many "wives", Khun Ying Tubtim is paranoid and strict with her son as she does not want him to follow his father's footsteps. This leads to a rift between the mother and son when a housekeeper's daughter commits suicide because of Khun Ying's constant harassment, and leads Monthai to cut off from his family before leaving for Australia. This also leaves Khun Ying Tubtim extremely traumatised. Bpeeyachat, on the other hand, is a poor girl who lived in the same neighbourhood as Monthai with her sickly grandma. She is indebted to Monthai as he was very kind to her when she was a child. One day, due to an unfortunate incident, her grandmother passes away and leaves her in the care of Viyada's family.

Reviews
starting off i would like to say this drama made me cry.
it sucked me in like a vortex before I knew it i speant atleast 22 hours watching this show.
the story basically is completely skipable until beeyachat gets older. lol.
it starts off where beeyachat a child at the time reading cinderella wondering if prince charming existed.
then they show us Monthai dressed in all white excited, because hes going to study in Austrailia.
he has a bitchy girlfriend wiyada. (whose ugly as faq)
due to some shit going down.
skipable shit. episodes 1-5
bee grows up being abused by wiyada.
During those years she writes to Monthai as Wiyada and sends him stuff which makes Mon feel obligated to love wee and only wee.(wow i wish guys were like that, id have married ken by now lol)
wee cheats on monthai and bee continues writing to him. taptim, mon's mom gets sick and asks for wee but wee being self centered heartless beach. sends bee.
bee is asked by aunt to pretend to be wee so that taptim gets better which she does. she finds out that wee isnt wee buts actually bee and is cool with it then enters monthai. i guess living in Austrailia made him crazy as shit.
because not only does he accuse bee of everything i am fairly supprised they did not do a sequence in where it rained and then he blamed bee for it raining and accused her of seducing the rain to rain. *DRAMATIC EYEROLL*
Pong plays his part well as P'Mon i coulnd help but secretly wish that Bee left for a bit leaving him alone would have served him right. and then he would have realised her importance.
The kid who plays Bee in the beggining was really good. though it was kind of gross the visible age difference.
Wee's sister i forget chicks name had the most beautiful eyes :)
Peung in this show was amazing she was beautiful she looked alot like an indian actress who plays humera in qabool hain on zee tv.
when she spoke of her self in the third person it was adorable.
i kinda wished they did a little more then a few innocent kisses.
though the ending felt silly.
Bee silly need to cover up all Wee's mistakes prolonged a story that could have finished like in 12 episodes.
lol.
scenes that began to get repetitive was all Mon's accusations.
kedchai was amazing though they had a plott flaw for a guy who comsidered himself as the consort of evil. he was good. wee's sudden long locks couldnt make her face any prettier. i have to say she acted well because i really dispised her, i spent atlease 10 minutes dissing her to my boyfriend who calmly pointed out perhaps i needed a break lol.
Also i did not understand how Mon sent Wee a digitilised pic of himself considering the fact that they were in the past.
the sweater she sent him was also not the same colour as the wool she picked up in the shop.
Tuptim looks so familiar.
Lakhanna was really pretty at first i thought she was going to be then NangEk.
Monthai and Bee have an early bond that only grew stronger with time.With Bee writing letters and sending gifts to Monthai for 8 years when he was in Australia,when it was Viyada who was Monthai`s girlfriend and was supposed to do it.We all watchers can see that it is all along Bee,that Monthai truly loves.It also takes long time for him to realize it.I also wish we had more sweet scenes between Mon and Bee,they always fought throughout the story..and the few sweetness we got was so swoon-worthy!
As i have mentioned,i do prefer the original version starring Ek and Ae,just because they have way better and intense chemistry,and because Ek`s Monthai realizes earlier the bitchiness of Viyada,both Ae and Ek excuted the characters of Bee and Mon much better actually.We also got to see a wedding scene in the original version`s ending!
