Bangkok Love Story

A lone gunman who follows his own code, Mek becomes entangled with Iht and his dangerous world. Though capable of ruthless action, he shows tenderness in caring for Iht and during moments of vulnerability. His internal conflict between violence and love drives much of the drama, including a dream to move his family to the mountains of Mae Hong Son.

Iht (Mawk in this cast mapping) is a police informant who, despite danger and obligations, grows close to Mek.
