Sut Saneha (Thai: สูตรเสน่หา,) is a 2009 Thai lakorn (telenovela), based on best selling novel by famous author King Chat,[1] starring Theeradej Wongpuapan, Ann Thongprasom, Willy McIntosh and Sonia Couling that originally aired on Channel 3 (Thailand).[2] [3]
The story revolves around Alin (Ann Thongprasom), a 30-year-old Nang Ek (นางเอก: soap opera star) with an over-inflated sense of her own celebrity. Aware that her career is on the wane because of her age and much younger competition, Alin is looking to marry the "right" man; handsome, rich, famous, with a prestigious name and a mansion to match. When she is contacted by television producer Khun Lek Anucha (Willy McIntosh) to audition as a celebrity chef for his new TV cooking show, Alin quickly accepts but lies about her lack of cooking skills. She immediately falls in love with Khun Lek the first time they meet and hatches a plan to marry him.
While Alin's reputation is that of a typical prim and proper actress, in reality she is stubborn, spoiled, conceited, and childlike. Desperate to land the cooking show job, Alin hires the earnest apprentice chef Din/Pasu (Theeradeth Wonpuapan) to quickly teach her how to cook. The two opposite personalities immediately clash but soon come to appreciate one another. Through the course of the story, Alin develops feelings for Din while questioning her desire to marry the "perfect man" Khun Lek.[4] [5]
It is also later revealed that he is the former co-worker of Sophita and harbors romantic feelings for her but on the day he will propose to her, Sophita introduces Anucha to her boyfriend, later the father of her child.
Alin is also known for her different personalities she inherited from her late aunties, which is described by Smally as why Alin is very different from any other people. By the end of the series she and Din marry.

If you fall in love with someone because he's perfect.. Then one day when you find a flaw in him, you will easily fall out of love for him. But if you fall in love with someone because you love him for him. He will become perfect in your eyes...and you will love him..no matter what happens.[6] [7]
