Having been overseas for some time, a robot-like Tay Tawan ("TAY") has returned to the family business, Go Food, to run the company as President. His grandfather, Chairman Kang ("Grandpa"), the founder of the company, wants him to get married. Grandpa has set him up on several blind dates but he refuses to go as he's too busy with work. Eventually, Grandpa forces Tay to reluctantly agree to the blind dates, as he just wants to get this nuisance over with and get back to more important matters - work.

Bubbly and enthusiastic New Thitipoom works at Go Food as a food researcher on Food Product Development Team One ("Team 1"). he harbors a crush on his longtime friend, Chef Namtan Tipnaree ("Namtan") who seems oblivious to his romantic feelings.

Mix Sahaphap, who is from a generationally rich family, begs New to go on the blind date instead as New is quite effective in scaring off his blind dates. Mix wants to marry for love instead of an arranged marriage. New refuses until he offers to pay him for his services. So Mix takes New for shopping, and gets him a makeover from conservatively sweet to a rich prince. Now in a designer white suit, with a glamorous makeover, New is now ready for her blind date as Mix Sahaphap of Marine Group (Mix Dad's company).

Tay's secretary/jack-of-all-trades, Earth Pirapat ("Earth") has helped whittle down the large pool of dates to top ten candidates to help him find a suitable partner. However he will need to travel as No. 11 is in Japan and No. 17 is in Switzerland. Earth then suggests that he just get married so he doesn't have to rework his schedule for him. Surprisingly, Tay agrees to this plan of attack.

When his date arrives, New is floored by his good looks and forces himself to stop ogling. When they exchange business cards, he soon realizes he's Tay Tawan, as in President Tawan of Go Food. he's a bit panicked now. he excuses himself to go to the bathroom, and tries to reach Mix but there's no answer.

Nonetheless, he returns to their table and proceeds to do everything he can to turn him off. First, he flirts with him in a very overt manner. He's immune to this. Then he claims he's so hungry and Tay tells him to order whatever he likes, New starts ordering each and every top most pricey food he could find (As business men do not like spending ruthlessly) But, Tay with his black card could care very less. He only points out that he won't be able to finish it all. Ha! His next trick: eat without any etiquette, once the food arrived he started stuffing food in his mouth and with a mouthful of food he said "this is so delicious" spitting some of the food". However, he's not really paying attention as he's looking at a work text on his phone. New then tells him that he has spent 2 Lakhs Baht on his Ass Cheeks. Tay chokes on his sip of tea, however, he takes this in stride and tells him that he appreciates him for being so open and honest. New didn't expect that but then he goes for the kill - by suggesting that they get a room. Tay then notices New's shaking foot, so he calls his bluff and actually gets them a room.

On the inside, New is panicking but he still follows him to the elevators. Within moments, he changes his mind and turns around and bumps into a man. The man suddenly grabs him by the collar and accuses him of being the other man that his boyfriend's been seeing. He denies this but Tay intervenes, suggesting that he take it up with her boyfriend as it takes two to cheat. New leaves with him, but is worried at the thought of being some homewrecker. he then realizes that this could be worked to his advantage, as an end to their date. So he ups the ante, and struts right by him and says that he's juggled 3 or 4 men at a time as he just loves men. But then the angry man chases her down and New is forced to run away from her, and almost gets hit by the car driven by Earth. He just continues running and safely hops into a cab.

Tay is seriously intrigued by him. So when Grandpa calls him about the date, he tells him that he's going to marry Mix Sahaphap, the man he just met tonight!

New updates Mix about the date being a successful failure. To celebrate, they go to a karaoke. While New is singing his heart out, Mix receives a call from his father informing him that President Tawan wants to marry him. He demands to know what New did to cause this. Meanwhile, Earth is asking Tay why he wants to marry this man, especially given his track record. He's also trying to convince him to marry for love. Tay doesn't want to deal with emotions, and only admits that he likes her, as she's open and honest.

The next day, of course, New runs into Tay and Grandpa at work. He hesitates on riding the elevator up with them. He finally walks backwards into the elevator and hides his face by turning around. On his way out, He drops his badge in the elevator, and Tay sees his photo (he's wearing glasses in the photo) and remembers his name from a proposal idea, Bucket List Fish. He calls his name and he's forced to walk backwards to take the badge.

While at a convenience store, Earth witnesses Mix having a sweet interaction with a little kid who accidentally draws on his white joggers with an open marker. The mother goes to scold her crying son, but Mix kindly consoles the kid and shows him a magic trick. He takes the marker from him and changes the black mark on his joggers into a flower. He asks him to guess what it is. He says poop. lol he tells him it's a flower. He then gently tells him to not run around with an open marker again. The mother offers to pay for his dry cleaning, and he gently declines the offer and says that he's the one who put even more marks on his own joggers. He leaves with his drink but forgets his keys and wallet at the counter. Once outside, he realizes that he forgot his keys and wallet and bumps into Earth on his way back to the store. It looks like love-at-first-sight for him as he finds him to be absolutely gorgeous.

New has to meet Tay again as Mix has an important meeting to attend. In person, New asks him to forget this marriage talk as he has no interest and then leaves. He follows him to stop him, and asks him to give him a chance, as once he gets to know him, he'll learn that he has a lot of strengths. Then he leans in and tells him "And I'm quite good... at many things." he is so startled by this that he steps backwards and almost falls off the stairs. Tay pulls him back to stable ground and asks him what he was thinking about. He just meant that he was good to people. And he won't want to see any other people when he's with him. New tells him that he doesn't want to marry him or date him, so he hopes to never see him again.
He leaves but then he spots Namtan with her girlfriend Film walking on the other side of the street. So he runs to hide from her by jumping into a random car, but to his horror, he's in Tay's car!
