Genre: Romantic, Comedy, Fantasy
Episodes: 12

Main Cast:
Mario Muarer as Tharatorn/Warong

Synopsis:

The story of Tharatorn (Mario Maurer), a young businessman owner of a furniture company who is oppressed and moody who always has an image of a certain girl who is always in his head, a girl he doesn't know but always appears in his dreams.

Korn (Punjan) and Kewalin (Mint), two siblings who live with each other by themselves because their parents are somewhere in another province. Apart from being a singer, Korn is also a volunteer at a help and rescue team, and dragged Mint to do this with him as well.

Through an event, Kewalin and Tharatorn ended up meeting. But, when they met, Tharatorn became a whole different person, saying his name was Mek and speaks as though he came from an ancient period. But, out of pity, Kewalin took care of him. 

It is later revealed that in Tharatorn's body, there's two spirits, Tharatorn and another is Mek. The special thing about both of them is that one has Telekinetic powers while the other was able to cross time to meet Kewalin. After some time passes, both fell in love with Kewalin and Kewalin also loves both of them in their own ways but how would she choose?

What will the love story of the 2 men and 1 woman be like when 2 men share one body?

My Thoughts:

First and foremost, I had to create a simple synopsis for the story since the one I got was either too long or didn't fit the story at all. So, if I miss anything, I am sorry. It's simple and short in a sense.

Now on to the story, I am on a roll for Thai Dramas and this one also came from a Youtube Random. It looked interesting from the video I saw and immediately watched the drama while also being lost because this is what happen when I don't read the synopsis before watching. But, I managed. But, this was an interesting drama despite it's looks. I only watched 2 episodes currently and it felt like I watched many already, one being it was almost 2 hours per episode and another being it was cut into 9 parts per episode. 

The story was interesting and the portrayal of character was great. I am totally immersed in trying to find out what's going on in the moment and what's gonna happen because the characters are unpredictable. What can you say when one actor is acting two different characters at different times? I get confused at times. But still, this is absolutely worth the watch.

The fantasy part caught my attention when I watched it because well right from the start, fantasy appeared but then, the characters themselves caught my attention. It's interesting to see how they move along with the story and sometimes how absurd things are because in a fantasy drama, I love absurd.

But a new boy in school named Aston has now vowed to be Alice's own personal post it note to help her remember everything. Who will Alice end up choosing, her hero or her own personal post it note?

My Thoughts:

This is yet another Thai Drama in a row..... Well, I was out of things to watch but still this short-drama grew on me. More like its characters grew on me. I fell in love with the characters. Well, I may have started the drama disliking the lead girl and I won't reveal why but one thing that I had to lower or completely mute the volume. 

But then, the lead guy came and thank goodness he came for he completely changed the mood of the girl. With the appearance of such, I enjoyed watching the love grow to fuel jealousy and feelings of "I want to take care of you" The characters acted in a way that's not over the top but still engaging enough. And ended up with me, pitying the girl of her situation. I like the way how they don't drag a crisis for too long. Sudden troubles don't brew for long and end pretty fast. The timing of things were perfect. 

What a perfect drama to spend time on.... Anyways, feel free to watch this drama. One of the perks that actually caught my attention of this drama was how the situations are not too absurd and that it is a school life drama which made it relate-able.
