To honor a family promise, Rojanasnai is forced into an engagement meant for her younger sister, Romereuthai. Out of gratitude for her adoptive family, she accepts, despite knowing the groom, Paat Pathamakul, believes he was deceived. Wounded in pride, Paat treats her coldly, declaring their marriage only technical. But as she quietly endures his torment, emotions begin to shift. Can a union born of duty and misunderstanding turn into true love?
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this series.

I think the show is a fitting document for our times, good or bad. Mostly (oddly) good.

The Honey Boo Boo clan often transcend the narrow condescension of the series’ producers--between-scene interludes include shots of humping dogs and the sound of a toilet flushing--with a deep familial affection and a rousing, Amelia Bedelia-esque esprit de corps.

Honey Boo Boo is just a little girl doing [her] best to be a beauty queen, TV star and dutiful daughter to the surprisingly levelheaded June. [22 Jul 2013]

TLC’s editing, as expected, goes out of its way to make the family appear like idiots.... But the Thompsons don’t care what other people think. They’ve got each other. In that, they’re light-years better adjusted than just about any family on any other reality show.
Time by James Poniewozik
While I was creeped out by the way Honey Boo Boo was framing the family and presenting them to us, I couldn't help loving the Thompsons themselves.
Salon by Willa Paskin
As with many of these series, Honey Boo Boo wobbles along that strange line of being at once an exploitative mess, and not just an exploitative mess.
