Summary

Pi is a nerdy, second-year dental student who secretly has a crush on Muang Nan: a kind-hearted, handsome, second-year pharmacy student. Together with Nan's warm personality, Pi's looks and confidence are not enough, and he feels helpless. After consulting his older brother, Duean, on what he could do better, Pi decides to change himself. With the help of Duean and his friends, Pi gets a makeover to transform into a handsome, stylish boy with enough courage to woo Muang Nan. When Pi finally has enough courage to approach his crush, he meets his love rival, Mork: a popular medicine student who is always on Muang Nan's side.

Pi tries everything to surpass Mork and gain Nan's attention, but is not lucky enough to beat him. However, everything starts to change as Pi begins experiencing different feelings for Mork, further complicating the situation. Will he continue to try to show his feelings to Nan? Or will an in-denial love begin to blossom with Mork?
