Synopsis

Perfect Match

Junior (Worranit Thawornwong) is a pretty and rich young miss who lives a happy life, has many friends and a handsome boyfriend. One day, she decides to do plastic surgery because she couldn't stand her friends saying how big her cheeks was. She does it without knowing that she is allergic to chemicals, and that causes acne/pimples all over her face. After the incident, her friends and boyfriend starts ditching her by giving excuses. She can't stand the social life she's living among (where everyone is disgusted by her), so she begs her parents to study at a college in the countryside to have a treatment at the college's hospital, and to follow her dream guy from her favorite fiction. And that's where she meets Suea (Puttichai Kasetsin), a very handsome cheeky guy.

Pity Girl

Continuing from Perfect Match, Alice (Neen Suwanamas) climbs up a tree to take photos and she sees a handsome boy Aston (Natcha Janthapan) sitting on a bench beneath the tree she climbed. While sneakily taking pictures of him, Aston looks up at her which leads to her falling from the tree. When she wakes up after being in a coma, she cannot remember anything and comes to the realization that she has lost her memories. Here comes Fuyu (Nachat Janthapan) he was with her when she went to the hospital. He gave her a journal to write things down and if she can't remember something, just to look back at it. Alice have two friends which is Chicha (Marie Eugenie LeLay) and Chicha's boyfriend BM (Thitipoom Techaapaikhun). When school started Aston returned from America, where he originally lives and was determined to get back Alice.

Don't

This causes the other children to also call her ugly. Ever since that accident, she had always worn a box over her head and stayed at home while not interacting with anyone.

She relents to attend the school after much pleading from her father. She befriends Minton (Chatchawit Techarukpong), a sweet, flirty, genuine boy and a rude, rowdy, bad boy, Zero (Jirakit Thawornwong), a troublemaker at school. She faces new problems related to social life. But one fine day she is forced to remove her box and everyone sees that she is pretty. Minton and Zero confess their love to her.
