Awaiting Bride
Riam is a beautiful woman who's always been unlucky in love. After three failed relationships, she vows that love and marriage are bogus. One drunken night, she stumbles back to her apartment but mistakenly goes into her new neighbor’s apartment instead, Ongsa. He is her childhood classmate that she teased relentlessly because he was pimply-faced and refused to help her cheat on tests. Ongsa, many years later, is an established chef with clear skin and no glasses. Though Riam doesn’t recognize him immediately, Ongsa knows which pretty face he’s staring at
