The show follows two women who navigate a romantic relationship with a 16-year age gap.
Here’s everything to know about Faye Peraya.
She’s a beauty queen turned actress
Faye, 30, is a former beauty pageant winner who was crowned Miss Grand Thailand in 2016. She went on to represent Thailand at Miss Grand International 2016, which was held in the United States, and placed second runner-up.
“[Leaving home to compete] was the hardest decision I ever made,” Faye told Grazia Singapore. “I had to prove to myself that I could do it.”

Since then the actress has made appearances in several shows, including Song Naree (2019) and Hak Lai, My Lady (2023). Her breakthrough role was in Blank, where she plays Nueng, the older female lead who falls in love with a girl around 20 years old.
