Panya Chon Kon Krua/ Kitchen Scholar First Impressions

I am currently on episode 6 of this 12 episode series and for the most part the lakorn is funny and cute, but I have one major problem with this show: how long is Cha’Aem (Kimberly) going to pretend to be a maid?! I usually don’t let ridiculous plot devices stand in my way of watching a show.

I was all for her going undercover for ideas for her script, but at this point it is dragging on for too long. It really doesn’t make sense that she’s still rolling around on the floors of someone else’s home. She is the daughter of the Mayor; I would think she would have a little more respect for her father’s position.

At this point she’s involved so many people in her lie, and I can’t honestly say that it’s going to be worth it in the end to have that great script if she misses out on a great guy like Tom (Mark). 

I still intend to watch until the end of the show, but I just hope that they can get a move on with the rest of the show, there is no reason she can’t return to her original place and still be involved with this family and Tom.

Starring: Suparat Prin (Mark), and Kimberly Anne Woltemas

Studio: CH.3

Episodes: 12

Premise: Aem (Kimberly) is the daughter of a government official and is raised as a rich lady, but when her professor tells her class that the winning script will grant the author a scholarship to New York, she decides that she needs more life experience.

After trying many types of jobs, she ends up working as a maid in the house of another rich family. Everything would probably have gone well if it wasn’t for Tam (Mark), a family friend, trying to catch her in a lie, another maid being jealous of the attention she is receiving, her roommate being a lesbian, and her friend following her into servitude because he can’t live without her.

*I’m interested to see how this will play out. Will she be discovered as a fake early on in the show, or will they drag it out until the end? I’m going to watch because of Mark, but also because I think this pairing is cute. I know some don’t like it because they played siblings in ‘Thara Himalaya’, but it’s acting…it happens.
