Even Sun

Meet Sun, a debt collector with a spotless record. Spotless, because he has never once managed to collect a debt. Uff. Even Sun (ฉันนี่แหละนายอาทิตย์) opens with this lovable failure being handed one last job, and if he fumbles it, his career in the business is over.

The job comes from his own father. The family business is on the edge of bankruptcy, and a big sum is owed by a man called Arthit. So Sun (Prem Warut Chawalitrujiwong) packs a bag and heads for Arthit Island to get the money back. On the way he runs into Talay and Nai, two of Arthit's friends, and decides they are his ticket in. Get close to the friends, get close to the man, get the cash. Simple.

Arthit (Boun Noppanut Guntachai) knows exactly why Sun is there, and he could not care less. He tells Sun to go home to Bangkok. Sun refuses. He follows Arthit around the island, pesters him at every turn and announces, again and again, that he is the creditor here. Arthit's answer is to trick him into an abandoned house at the far end of the island. That is where the real chaos begins.

Back in the city, Sun has a rival collector called Tai, a newcomer who takes a very different approach. Instead of chasing payments, Tai ends up with Mangkorn, a boxer, as a kind of interest on a debt. So the series runs two stories side by side: the mess on the island and the scrapping in Bangkok.

The title hides a cheeky joke. Arthit's name means sun in Thai, so the show is literally a story of Sun chasing the sun. Fair warning: the beach is gorgeous, and the debtor is far more stubborn than the debt.

So the question for six episodes is a fun one. Will Sun ever collect, or will the man who owes him money end up owning his heart instead?
