How to Suffer 101: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

When former psychotherapist Fai is hired to teach Happiness, a newly offered course aimed at helping students to get to know and understand themselves, she finds that nothing is as easy as she'd thought. A troubled student in her class, Kla, insists that happiness does not exist. Fai often finds herself helping him, despite what he wants. In her class, she also meets Miu, a depressed medical student; Win, Miu's perfectionist and controlling boyfriend; Good, a cheery freshie with no friends; and Chai, an electrical engineering student who identifies as a woman. Fai also reconnects with Itt, a popular friend from her high school days and former boyband member turned music professor. Though a matter from the past has erected walls between them, the two have to come together to help their students, particularly Kla, who's begun to find love and a sense of safety through Fai's class and the friends he's made. However, their progress is threatened as the class is attacked on social mead and Fai faces an investigative committee.
