This fourth story of the Gentlemen Series gave us a funny and cute romantic story of Khun Chai Lek, a civil engineer who flees his marriage prospect in Bangkok to camp in Nong Khai, where he meets a group of Wieng Phu Kam refugees. He develops a bond with the compelling group and befriends (if a bizarre, funny friendship) with Soifah who saved his life. They marry, for her protection and convenience, and the two are tasked with the challenge of finding the missing crown prince so they can save the King and usurp their power in Wieng Phu Kam. Little did Soifah or even Chai Lek know that the missing prince and princess are right under their noses.
Another challenge for the duo is to have the grandmas accept Soifah as their granddaughter in law, which entails Soifah learning wifey duties within a month so the Juthatheps would not be embarrassed by her savage upbringing.
What I liked most about the city scenes is that Soifah doesn’t lose the essence of Soifah. No matter what, she retains her fierce, proud and stubborn self. They couldn’t break her, and watching her character evolve for the remaining three episodes made me love her even more. I’m finding that I’m thinking of her character as the hero role in this drama instead of Chai Lek. It is hard for me to get behind our guy. He’s embarrassed of her half the time, he doesn’t believe in her abilities, and he even had the gall to pull a noble idiocy towards the end- so yeah, I’m going to consider Soifah as my “pr’ek” if you will.
