Yes! It is his first ever main lead role! With his talent, I can totally see Bright bagging more lead roles after IFYLITA!

UNCUT is the version you should always watch. the CUT version often at 45-46 minutes per episode and they cut a LOT of scenes that gives context. UNCUT is often 1h-1h5 minutes per episode and the "cut" scenes make the series more coherent

Yes! The full novel is already translated to English 😅 All parts!

The trailer is already out here with ENGSUB (though names in subs may not be very accurate) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biBkk1aC6CU

This part is not adapted into series yet. You can buy the novel and read it though.

Commander Yai doesn't know Jom. Jom is "suspicious looking" to Commander Yai. CY thinks Jom might be a spy or a threat to his troop so Jom is captured as "prisoner" to join him and his troop. Even though he is captured, Jom still actively pursues CY in order to make Yai fall in love with him again. Jom almost gives up until CY does fall in love with him (CY is VERY tsundere). Jom and CY have a little bit of time together and CY promises to love Jom in all his future lifetimes. One day, in the middle of a sword fight where CY and his troops are fighting for their lives, Jom is pulled back to the present (2023) . When Jom dissolves into fog, CY knows he has nothing to fear for anymore, dies in front of Jom's eyes as he vanishes, knowing that Jom won't get killed.

The book ends with the reunion /first meeting of Yai Kanthorn (Yai 2023 reincarnation who hold memories of both 1927 Khun Yai and 1767 Commander Yai) with the exact dialogues as you saw in episode 12. The epilogue explains who Yai Kanthorn is and how he got the memories of Khun Yai and Commander Yai with Jom.

Crossposting my comment from the uncut version page because I saw some confusion on the special episode

The special episode is based on a NON-canon/alternative ending chapter that the author wrote. Not sure what the content of the special episode will be but I can confirm that the final kiss everyone saw at the end of Episode 12 between Jom and a man is Yai Kanthorn (Khun Yai's 2023 reincarnation, Khun Lek's grandson).

Bright Rapheephong had to explain the ending here that it is 100% not a ghost (very funny dude, my adorable baby girl)

it is not entirely unclear but implicitly implied. It is not Khun Yai from 1927 because the man uses "Pom" instead of "Chan" like 1927 Khun Yai. Of course your feelings and critiques for the ending are completely valid. I think this post below has considerate thoughts on the matters, linking if you may be interested in reading.

It is the special episode, coming soon. It is based on the non-canon chapter that the author wrote, you can think of it like alternate universe. Trailer here https://youtu.be/chcXNknWZEw?si=yjv3eKzw-tOgcLY_

The series (although didn't touch upon the second part of the novel when Jom time traveled to 1767), ends exactly where the book ends. It ends with the exact same scene of Jom meeting 2023 reincarnation of Khun Yai with those exact dialogues you saw, the background story about 2023 Yai is learned through extra chapters after the epilogue. But I understand your very valid critiques. I have a feeling this finale was very catered to novel reader audience in order to have all three versions of Khun Yai show up and novel readers would be able to fill out the blanks but no explicit exposition may be hard for non-reader. I'm glad you were able to enjoy this production nonetheless 🥰

As someone who loves the show, I can tell you what you can keep your expectations low about: pacing, slowness of scenes people in that time talk slow, act slow, and a lot of explicitly unexplained time travel mechanics (how, why, this man time travelled), tiny audio mixing issues there are about 2-3 instances where i thought the background music shouldn't have been so loud. That being said the GOOD aspects of this drama are: the portrayal of thai culture, thai QUEER history, a lot of tropes subversion, compelling subplots in addition to the main characters romance, the ACTING (not just the main leads but everyone else), fully immersive experience of being in thailand 1927, the care in detail for props, costumes, local accent, overall high quality production, the CINEMATOGRAPHY, the color palette.

I hope you will take the chance to watch it nonetheless despite the weaknesses mentioned in order to enjoy this beautiful love story 🥺

Nonkul clarified again that it's just him teasing and manifesting. Not confirmed and done deal. will take a lot of time to make s2 but i think they are OPEN to the possibilities of season 2 https://twitter.com/saltymarbles/status/1720777957881643208?t=Xar_oi_YEp3Q6uMFXQ2ciA&s=19

No the special episode is based on a special chapter the author wrote, that is NOT canon. it is more like alternative ending

I think the director wanted to satisfy book fans by giving both the ending of the novel (Jom meeting Yai reincarnation in 2023) and also hope for season 2 (Jom meeting Commander Yai im 1700s). so thr result is confusing for audiencd who haven't read the book. I think people who havent read should just ignore after credit scene with Commander Yai for the series to make more sense 😅

cold harsh commander yai who has no idea who the hell jom is => jom actively pursues commander yai to no avail => jom about to give up and cries his heart to yai => commander yai is slowly smitten with jom and eventually loves him as passionately as 1927 yai (even more one may argue)

Novel: Jom go from 2023 - to 1927 - to 1700 (dark khun yai) - to 2023 (meet yai's reincarnation 'kanthorn') + there is special au chapter unrelated/not connected to the og story that the author wrote about 1927 khun yai accidentally time travelling to the present (not in official translations, only available in thai on some platforms posted by the author violet rain, i only read unofficial fan translation of this chapter)

Series: jom 2023 -> 1927 yai -> 2023 meet kanthorn -> go back to 1700 (maybe if we get season 2 -> we'll get jom in 1700 -> 2023). if u ignore after credit scene, it can just simply ends at jom meeting 2023 reincarnation of yai who has memories of 1927 yai and jom. + special episode based on special chapter mentioned above, not connected, not related to the og storyline, can think of it as spinoff/alternate universe episode

Yes 😅 So 1927 she is Yai's bigger sister but in 2023, she is Jom's little sister. Their destiny are very much intertwined for sure 😉
