Temporary Mom (Khun Mae Kaekhat)

The story follows Arunrada (Sky Maria), a mystery and crime novelist whose work isn't particularly popular. To make matters worse, she is dumped by her long-time boyfriend, Noppadol (Nuttachanun Phuwanon). Her two best friends, Kewalin (Pornchada Warapachara) and Yanakorn (Phattharaphon Wesakamee), rush to comfort her, with Kewalin dragging her out to a party. Arunrada gets incredibly drunk and wakes up the next morning in bed with a strange man. She later discovers he is Patihan (Louis Hesse / Es Kantapong), a handsome young doctor and heir to the Worakan Hospital empire.
Trouble arises when Arunrada's only sister, Arunratee (Marisa Scholl), who dreams of working in the entertainment industry, begs for help because she is being blackmailed by her ex-husband, Woradej (Witchayapong Iamsaard). With no other choice, Arunrada uses the incident from that night to demand compensation from Patihan. Patihan then makes her a counteroffer: become a "Stand-in Mom" to Mick (Faisal Nagib), his 7-year-old son whose mother disappeared five years ago, for a period of six months. Desperate for money to help her sister, Arunrada agrees.
Chaos ensues as she has to deal with Wilawan (Sirin Kohkiat), a female investor and owner of the V-One Group. Dr. Parames (Surasak Chaiat), Patihan's father, wants Patihan to marry Wilawan to secure funding for a stem-cell research project. Furthermore, there is Jaran (Kosawis Piyasakulkaew), a luxury resort owner who approaches Arunratee with hidden motives, and Kachen (Chakrit Boonsing), a warm and kind-hearted man who becomes entangled in her life.
As they fulfill their contractual obligations out of necessity, love begins to blossom in both of their hearts. Patihan’s heart, which seemed permanently closed, slowly begins to open again. However, the return of Pimrada (Farida Waller), Patihan's wife who vanished five years ago, shakes their relationship. Her suspicious behavior creates uncertainty between the couple.
How will Patihan and Arunrada overcome these obstacles? How much will the role of a stand-in mother and fake wife change Arunrada's life? Will everything end well? Find out in the drama "Khun Mae Kae Khat" (The Stand-in Mom), airing every Monday and Tuesday at 20:40. The first episode premieres on Monday, May 19, 2025, on Channel 7HD (Press 35).
