teacher, when he bumps into her and nearly knocks her off a bridge. She is grateful to him for saving her life (she was going to kill herself, but he pulled her up and inadvertently talked her out of it) and a friendship formed. However, Nathlada, or "Lada" as she preferred to be called, believed "Chit" to be a poor blind fisherman. Her ex-boyfriend, who was married to another woman but lied to Nathlada that he was unwed, stalks her to the countryside. Chisanu gets a phone call that the doctors have found a cornea that might fit him, so he must go to France for surgery. He tricks Nathlada into marrying him and they both go to his main estate in Thailand, and then to France. Chisanu's ex-girlfriend (who is now married) and his lawyer's daughter both do their best to break him and Nathlada apart, and P'Thep (Lada's ex-boyfriend) continuously stalks Nathlada. There is a lot of misunderstanding and poor communication, and trouble abounds.

This television show is not yet licensed in the United States as of March 2007.

Reception

Kaew Tah Pee was well accepted during it first airing in Thailand. It has proved to be one of the most beloved lakorns amongst international fans and was one of the first to be translated to, and subbed in, English. 80% of the series was filmed in France on various locations. The cast was said to have stayed in France for about 2 weeks to exhaustedly complete all the shoots. The fairy-tale storyline, chemistry between the two attractive leads and with beautiful locations and views filmed in France have combined to make it a great success outside of its native country.
