Phukong Yod Rak

Phan Namsuphan, after graduating with a degree in law, worked as a trainee lawyer for nearly a year. When his military deferment period ended, he returned to his hometown. His parents, Kamnan Poon and Mrs. Chan, prepared a grand celebration to welcome their son home.
Phan wanted to become a soldier, but his father refused because he feared his son would suffer hardship. Instead, he bribed a military officer to prevent Phan from being drafted. When Phan found out, he argued with his father and even contemplated suicide. In the end, his parents had to give in. However, Phan drew a black card (exempting him from service), so he voluntarily enlisted using only a Grade 4 education certificate.
On his first day at the camp, Phan met new friends and also met Captain Chaweepong, whom he instantly fell for. His friend Am warned him to give up, as she was the cherished daughter of Colonel Phuan and Mrs. Chaiwong. But instead, this only made Phan more determined to win her heart, despite having a major rival: Major Doctor Suttisarn.
Phan volunteered to be the captain’s driver in hopes of courting her, but she rejected him every time. Still, she began to notice that Phan seemed far more intelligent than someone with only a Grade 4 education. Mrs. Chaiwong, who was extremely frugal, grew fond of Phan because he often brought her gifts and even collected bottles from the house to sell for profit—unaware that Phan was actually spending his own money on her.
Gradually, Phan realized that the captain was not arrogant, but rather well-mannered and a devoted daughter. Meanwhile, she also began to see his sincerity and started to waver.
Phan became a favorite of Mrs. Chaiwong by helping her make desserts, which made Colonel Phuan jealous. One day, the camp urgently ordered the captain to travel to another province to treat a patient. Colonel Phuan assigned Phan to drive her there.
On the way, bandits ambushed their car. Phan tried to help the captain escape, but they ended up at the bandits’ hideout and were captured. The bandit leader wanted the captain as his wife, so Phan tricked him by claiming she was already his wife and even kissed her in front of them. The leader reluctantly gave up.
While at the camp, the captain treated an injured bandit and told his wife that he must be taken to a hospital immediately or he would die. The bandit’s wife then secretly drugged the leader and his men with sleeping pills mixed in alcohol, allowing everyone to escape.
Back in Bangkok, Major Suttisarn rushed to propose marriage to the captain. Colonel Phuan agreed and gave Phan a chance as well—on the condition that he bring a large bride price.
Phan returned to Suphan to ask his parents to arrange the marriage. Both wedding processions arrived at the captain’s house at the same time. Major Suttisarn seemed to have the advantage, as many high-ranking officers came to support him.
However, when Colonel Phuan met Kamnan Poon, he was shocked—they had once been close friends. More importantly, Kamnan Poon was a major creditor to Colonel Phuan.
In the end, Colonel Phuan let Captain Chaweepong decide for herself whose proposal to accept.
Who will she choose?
