Synopsis
After experiencing love at first sight, Duang (Wanpichit Nimitparkpoom), a popular decorative arts student at Sampanthasil University, sets out to win the affection of Qin (Suppakarn Jirachotikul), the equally popular but icy and reserved jazz student. However, the problem is that Qin tends to coldly reject anyone who hits on him.[3]
Duang musters up the courage to confess his feelings to Qin at a bustling Loy Krathong festival, boldly stating that he is not asking for permission and that he is just letting him know that he intends to win his heart. Duang admits he finds Qin incredibly charming and feels as if he has been enchanted by his singing. While Qin does not reciprocate, he does not reject him either. Instead, Qin steps closer and offers Duang encouragement in his endeavour.[1]
Enamoured by Qin's cuteness, Duang perseveres and devises a plan to soften Qin's heart, with the help of his friends, Jamie (Chatchapon Pranotphong) and Pae (Thanaphat Tansakul).
Duang and Qin's relationship begins to change when they are paired to perform at the university's open house. Duang learns that Qin dreams of becoming a singer. Despite Duang's lack of confidence in his own abilities to sing and dance, he vows to do his best, all in hopes of delivering a performance worthy of making Qin's dreams come true.
