Synopsis

The story revolves around a young woman named Mutta (มุตตา), the naive and kind-hearted twin sister of Munin (มุนินทร์), who goes to Bangkok to find a job. There she meets Vikit (วีกิจ) who later becomes her co-worker at the same company. Vikit and Mutta become friends, but Vikit develops romantic feelings which Mutta did not return, leaving Vikit heartbroken. However when she meets her boss Chenphop (เจนภพ) she falls in love with him despite him being a vain and shallow womanizer, already having a wife and three children - also being Vikit's uncle. When Chenphop's wife Nopnapha (นพนภา) finds out that her husband is having an affair with Mutta, she publicly humiliates Mutta in front of her co-workers and forces her husband to stop seeing her. Mutta realizing that her lover would not stand for her, leaves going back to the countryside. She falls into a deep depression after also finding out that she was pregnant from Chenphop and eventually commits suicide in her home town. On that same day she commits suicide her elder twin sister Munin arrives back home from the United States where she had been studying. She was the one who discovers Mutta hanging from the ceiling on returning and rushes her to hospital where Mutta dies. Munin blames herself for having been one of the causes of her sister's death, not only from coming home too late but from their rocky relationship and conflicting personalities. Munin always resented Mutta's gentle, sweet and likeable personality which she believed made people prefer Mutta to herself. Munin therefore became the outspoken, rebellious and more brash of the two sisters and worked hard in school to score a scholarship to the United States to escape her sister who she envied. Munin upon returning from the hospital reads Mutta's diary and discovers the truth behind her suicide. Upon realising that no-one in Bangkok knows about Mutta's death she decides to return to Mutta's workplace using her identical looks to exact revenge from those she perceived had wronged her sister. Thus she went to Bangkok and pretends to be Mutta.
