Plot

Tok a turning 13 coming soon boy has a lot to live up to. Not only is he named after Thailand's legendary comedian 'Lor Tok', but he also is a descendant of a long lineage of comedians within his family. There's one problem though: Tok just isn't funny and his father is starting to realize this. With big shoes to high expectations, Tok struggles to come up with new gags in attempt to earn his father's respect. With all this pressure, Tok develops pimples. Afraid of acne, he consults dermatologist, Mo Namkhaeng, whom he falls in love at first sight with. Interestingly, she is not only beautiful and smart, but could actually be the first person to think that Tok is funny.
