Memory in the Letter

"Reflections of Time: The Meteor, The Mirror, and The Aura"

I love the concept and cast too did a wonderful job. Cute love story with blushing moments without any contacts is simply superb. The main problem is the age gap it was bit wierd but afterwards it feels ok. Now the major problem is that it is not promoted as other thai bl's dramas used to. So the writers of the show should have to take a step forward to promote this drama. And everyone should have to watch it , it simple and amazing too. I love it and all the 3 leads did wonderful job too. Even the ratings are given low in MDL don't believe it,just go and watch it is perfect drama in this year.

Feeling disconnected towards the end

I love the storyline. It's unique and refreshing. I really enjoy it until last episode.

I've no issue with the age gap, that isn't the problem. It's not so much about the story than the execution.

For past 5 episodes, my mind has these 2 actors as main lead. That's who I've watched, who I adore and who I've been waiting to watch, and suddenly....in last episode, we have totally different actor as Songjam?!

I get they are the same person but I feel NOTHING...because, I feel so diasappointed not able to see the kiss scenes between the younger Songjam and Aksorn, one we've been waiting for since the dance in episode 1. Although they do it with the older Songjam, it doesn't feel the same. HUGE EMOTIONAL DISCONNECT.

I dunno why they make the story so complicated. It could have been such a beautiful ending. Ugh.

IT COULD BE PERFECT BECAUSE OF THE PARALLEL AND TIME TRAVEL ELEMENTS BUT...

Memory in the Letter follows Aksorn, who gets kicked out by his dad for wanting to chase his dream of becoming a writer. He ends up moving into a new dorm, where he discovers a mysterious guy named Songjam, who lives inside a mirror. Yup, inside a mirror. The vibe of this series actually reminded me a bit of the Filipino BL Happenstance (2020). I haven’t seen all of Happenstance, but the similarities are definitely there.

I honestly adored Memory in the Letter. The mystery element is super engaging, and the plot keeps you guessing in earlier episodes. It’s unpredictable in a way that makes you want to keep watching.

Visually, the series is stunning. The color grading gives off this old-film vibe, which fits the overall mood perfectly. And aside from the whole parallel universe thing, there's also a time travel element, which makes it even more intriguing.

That said, I wish the episodes were a bit longer. It would’ve been great to see more of Songjam’s world, since the series mostly focuses on Aksorn’s perspective

I don't want to give spoilers but the plot twist is a bit weird that didn’t really make sense, and I think that’s where the story started to make viewers disappointed. I personally felt more chemistry between Aksorn and the original Songjam than with Kyo, which made it a bit frustrating to watch.

Another thing I noticed is they cast a 32 year old actor to play as 45 year old man, the face is young to be 45. It is not very convincing. The show leaves so many questions unanswered, and that vagueness really hurt the storytelling. From episodes 5 to 6, it got kind of confusing, and I honestly didn’t know how to react anymore. Just... watch it for yourself. If you’re worried about wasting time, don’t stress, it’s only around an hour total for episodes 5 and 6.

In my opinion, this series had a lot of potential, but it really lacked detail in the second half. It almost felt like the screenwriter or director got sick after episode 4 and someone else with totally different ideas took over. They changed directions and adding things that didn’t quite land. Still, Memory in the Letter is worth checking out, even if it leaves you a little confused in the end.

Enjoyed the first four episodes

Alright, I watch this series without really knowing about the premise. When i got into the first episode i got attached. It is good, the chemistry is over the top for Songjam and Aksorn.
It's only 6 episodes, so i understand about the fast pace of the story. However, when the 5th episode come out i was like... Errr seems like what i thought is happening. And boom! That happened. Coz I actually found the similarities between Songjam Kyo. But i just can't accept it, sorry. I was so attached to songjam, that actually unable to fully enjoy the ep 5 and 6 coz I couldn't really saw him as Songjam. Coz I was taught from the early episode that he (Kyo) must be the 2nd lead. So, i got denial when i first had thought that he is who he is. And when it is actually true, i still unable to grasped it.
The actors are great, the acting is actually good. Aksorn could really maintain his chemistry with both actors. But, the way he easily accept him is a little bit too rush. Like, how could you easily accept that your lover is actually someone that has been on your side but hes actually in another form a few hours ago?
My review is a mess, but I actually make an account just so i could rant about this series. Coz i love it but also dislike it at the same time. I enjoyed it but skipping most parts toward the end 😅
So overall i love the first 4 episodes.

An Impressive Watch Indeed

Watching this series is like wrapping yourself up in a warm cozy blanket on a cold winter’s night as you are reading a romantic allegory. While the sensation is comforting, the fable still provides you with enough stimulation to keep you awake. But you suddenly realize that you reach a part in the story where one of two possible endings can happen. Either a fairy tale one or a tragic one. While I certainly love a fairy tale ending (and these two guys deserved one), I was preparing myself for a tragic one as the series did seem a bit dark overall. Unfortunately, I got neither one. And I threw off my warm blanket and started to cry with disappointment. Let me elaborate.
