We’re in for a treat in this episode, so sweet and romantic, I may just perish. Let’s just get right to it.

Love during that time, two thousand years ago, sure feels like it’s all or nothing, doesn’t it? We watch the love story of Matira and Pachara quickly blossom and fold, ramping up for the final act that destroyed everything. And it feels consequential, because we’re sitting back with Praoploy listening to the story (complete with the family tree of Tarawatburam), and can’t help but feel that reviving an old story makes it real again. That not only does Pachara need Praoploy to remember and reverse the curse, but that this may very well be the last time he’s living in this world. So while he retells it slowly, peers at her with his half bewitching smile, and stalling time for selfish reasons, I can’t…

Witnessing someone dying and coming back to life has given Praoploy a new perspective, that even if it is hard to believe, she has committed herself to uncovering her memories. Pachara on the other hand, has realized that she wasn’t born vindictive nor with any of her past life memories, so that too changes things for him. But whether they have decided to move forward or not, fate has its own plans, and Tarawatburam’s story must be told.

This episode ups the romance even more, so make sure to keep your body grounded and your soul intact. We also meander into the lost world of Tarawatburam, meet the political power struggle and the initial stirrings of spiritual calamities. Though we may not get a lot of our questions answered, there is one thing that is certain, I am so here for the suspense.

If you’re wondering what Pachara does in the last 2000 years on his spare time, it isn’t fun. It is no wonder he is so desperate to end this immortality. Praoploy must make a decision on whether she’s gonna fight the fight or join it, while also getting to know more about Pachara, the mysterious island owner and uber rich extraordinaire. How did the saying go? If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em? At least she’s not going down without a fight.

What is there not to like about a brooding hero and a likeable heroine? Praoploy learns a little more about the mysterious man that captured her, although she’s not being held as a captive. He even entices her with an irresistible deal, but is she making a deal with the devil? I mean she sure thinks these islanders are rather fierce. We meet a new character in that of Wanda, who also makes a deal with Pon to help find Praoploy. Pachara gets closer to finding a treasure, one that might actually make his dreams come true, even if it is a morbid dream to most.

It’s here! If you’ve been waiting to see Tono and Nychaa since the Cupid series, your wait is not in vain. Duangjai Nai Montra and Broadcast Thai production premiered the first episode and you can feel the chemistry right off the bat, even when he’s glaring at her in anger most (if not all) of the time! But let’s see if Nychaa, as Praoploy can help melt that frozen look off his face (it’s a handsome face though!) You can read the brief synopsis if you need a refresher, now let’s get to the recap of episode 1, feel free to squeal with me.
