Buy My Boss

Manfan has just finished university, and life picks that exact moment to fall apart. Her family has gone bankrupt, her relationship has ended, and every part of her week seems to be heading downhill. All she wants is a little relief, so she pays for the company of a charming woman named Araya for an evening. Araya is warm, attentive and full of reassurance, and she tells Manfan that good things are on their way.

Then Manfan lands an important job. On the other side of the desk sits her new boss, Issara, and Issara and Araya are one and the same woman. The person who comforted Manfan on a truly awful night now runs the office she has to walk into every morning. Both of them know exactly what happened that evening. Neither of them can say a word about it at work.

That overlap between a private night and a professional relationship is the whole engine of the story. A comforting stranger becomes a manager, an evening that was supposed to stay in the past keeps walking into meetings, and Manfan has to work out what she owes a boss who once saw her at her lowest.

Aom Punyawee Jungcharoen plays Manfan and Ying Anada Prakobkit plays Issara, the woman Manfan first meets as Araya. Around them sits a small circle of colleagues, so the office is where most of the trouble is set to happen.
