Synopsis
Achi (Thitipoom Techaapaikhun), a worker at a stationery company, discovers an article stating that once he turns 30 and is still a virgin, he will gain a special power. He soon figures out that he has gained a special power—the ability to read people's minds—but everything takes a turn once he reads the mind of Karan (Tawan Vihokratana), his most famous, handsome, and kind coworker having a crush on him. Knowing this, Achi tries his best to keep his distance.[5][1]
