We have 41 years old Ken Theeradeth, and one head shorter, 13 years younger Toey Jarinporn, who looks like his naugty niece on the pictures. How these two work in a romance comedy?

First, it doesn't seem very convincing as the lead guy is surrounded by beauties (like Jacqueline Muench!!) with enough charm it's difficult to imagine why he'd need to pine over the unobtrusive shortie. Spying this, Toey Jarinporn's disguises are hilarious. Nevertheless, I just couldn't help thinking SHE could be one of those trifling flings and NOT Jacqueline Muench. Either way, when she prepares a folder containing info about all his women, the petite lead girl is strained while carrying it, lol.

Then it's funny because main girl analyzes (correctly) that what the main guy is looking for in a woman is a good laughter dose. He just wants someone funny. Then the main girl acts funny and main guy is having a good laugh. Then he's sold (after hundreds failure attempts). But, to different girl than his sister intended for him!

I gotta admit I really did laugh watching. And I was glad for this, because Ken was SERIOUSLY too old for Toey. Them making openly fun of it (among other things) made it better. Only it's up to you whether you find it romantic that the guy is after the girl because he loves to laugh at her...

As the story goes, the main guy's sister does not learn her lesson and tries to hitch him with a beautiful woman who poses like a model in front of him (literally, lol), while the hilarious girl who makes him laugh is purposedly kinda hiding from him. And he won't have that!:) The plot is kept going by the main girl being in the need of money so that she keeps getting hired by the main guy's sister to set him up with another woman. I didn't quite get why she always had to be there when we was supposed to meet the OTHER woman, but without that we wouldn't get the main guy & main girl together. She certainly didn't try to meet up with him for herself, and so this can be classified as "Male Chases Female First".

Then, the story reverses into main guy hiring the main girl too for himself, to do some spying for whatever reason (I didn't pay attention to that part), probably in order to make the two spend time together regularly. I didn't care for that, they might as well kept the story simple, her trying to hitch him with somebody else. This way, I started skipping most of the screentime, except of the main duo's mutual teasing. Then, even that started to drag. After the first few, the 2 hour episodes became a burden. And if I was NOT interested to watch something here, then it was some CRIME related plot. My, this got LONG. Even scenes with both main girl & guy together, I was bored (!), because they kept talking about THE CASE.

Then, after TEN episodes of this, there is the first kiss. And it's sadly not a good one! Nothing against Toey Jarinporn, yeah she is short but still she's got nicely long neck:) But Ken Theeradeth needs to crouch significantly to kiss her. Inevitably, he looked like he leaned to kiss a child. It can't be helped, that is how it looked like. The kiss was also perfectly still. I really finished watching the remaining episodes only out of courtesy.

Overall, as the 1st episode really was funny, perhaps this better should have been a movie. I can recommend this only till Toey Jarinporn was still wearing her gypsy outfit (which was I think epi 1-2). After that, it faded and when the final came, I seriously did not care even if they all died (there IS a gun violence action, of course:(
