A Historical Period Drama That Leaves You Exhilarated!
Romance isn’t something that can be planned. It isn’t something that can be decided by rank, title, or the weight of someone else’s opinion. Love doesn’t care about decorum or boundaries, it simply begins.
And in Memoir of Rati, it begins quietly. With glances exchanged at a festival and curiosity sparked between two men who, by society’s rules, have no business falling for one another.
Set in 1915 Siam, this historical Thai BL opens with soft tension and beautiful restraint. Adapted from the web novel by P. Picha, it introduces us to Rati (Inn Sarin), an orphan brought back to Siam as a French interpreter, and Thee (Great Sapol), a marquis in the Ministry of Education. Their meeting is simple, almost forgettable, but under the stillness, there’s something unmistakable happening between them.
Rati is a man between worlds. Born in Siam but raised in France, he walks the line between two homes, two loyalties, and two versions of himself. His return to Siam isn’t met with open arms, especially not from the biological mother he longs for, a kitchen maid with ties to him she chooses not to acknowledge. It’s a quiet heartbreak that threads through Rati’s early days back in Siam, and we feel it as he tries not to unravel.
