Memories in Letters (2024)

HOW THE OVERALL FEELS ARE!

The plot is just amazing!

It is one of those rare boy love drama's with unique plots. The drama is cute, soft and fluffy . The drama is not as hilarious as 'Fish upon the sky' or as serious as 'Not me'. It does not have NC scenes or maybe the one i watched might have not been the real Uncut. Nevertheless, i have fallen in love with the story so damn much. It has only 6 episodes but i believe that justice has been served since, it did not have any dragging episodes.

The music was just the cherry on top to bring in the mood of the setting. oddly it reminded me of the cherry magic Thailand song," everything is magic"

Few cons i found
The actors were all wonderful, but i did think acting wise the drama was week. This felt like this is a drama which required a lot of expressiveness. Only the 2 main younger leads acting was up to the point . I felt the second lead, p' Kyo 's acting was a bit plain.

REWATCH VALUE for me personally is not that high cause i don't think i will get the same feelings i got the first time i watched it .

Overall this is a really good drama to refresh your brains with after going through a lot of similar plotted .

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.

Disappointing…

It started so well… The plot, even though not super original, was well executed, the actors had good chemistry and I wanted to know how the story was going to unfold… That was for episodes 1-4. ?

And then comes episode 5… The plot twist of Songjam arriving in the past was good, but why sooooo long ago? Now it’s just creepy. Cause why do you mean after 5 years in this world he waited another 20 years for baby Aksorn to grow up and stalked him the last few moment before « meeting » him. ?

How did he not moved on, and how did Aksorn just accept a relationship with a 40+ years old when he just fell in love with a teenager the day before? ?

The ending is rushed, and maybe is for the best because I didn’t want to see too much of this creepy relationship ? No matter how young the actor looks like sorry that’s just not it ?

Beyond the Reflection

When I first came across the ending scene of Memory in the Letter, where Kyo openly confessed to Aksorn’s father that they were in a relationship, I was immediately intrigued and knew I had to watch it. However, seeing that the series only had six episodes left me a bit disappointed, especially since most Thai BLs typically span 12-14 episodes. Yet, understanding that it wasn’t backed by a well-known company, I set aside my expectations and delved in, eager to see what it had to offer.

The series’ premise is quite unconventional, offering a blend of romance and intrigue that keeps you thinking. This type of storytelling stood out and made it one of the more enjoyable dramas I’ve watched this year. The plot carried enough surprises to keep me engaged, especially the twist that Songjam was actually Kyo all along. It was an unexpected revelation—I initially believed Kyo was a standalone protagonist in the Aksorn and Songjam narrative, but that twist added a clever layer of depth to the story.

One of the strongest aspects of the drama was how Kyo/Songjam allowed Aksorn to uncover the truth gradually. The way this part of the plot was handled kept the story flowing while maintaining an air of mystery. I appreciated that they didn’t immediately resolve the identity revelation; it gave the drama more room to breathe. I genuinely thought the moment when the mirror broke and Songjam disappeared would lead to a dramatic scene where he would reappear behind Aksorn once he realized what had happened, but the plot chose a more subtle route, which worked well.

However, not all aspects were flawless. For example, the scenes involving Peach’s stalking were unnecessary and felt out of place once she noticed the similarities between Aksorn in the novel and real-life Aksorn.

Reflecting on my initial disappointment with the limited episode count, I couldn’t help but wish the story had been given more time to unfold. The premise was rich with potential, yet certain intriguing questions were left unanswered. For instance, if Aksorn’s mother wrote the story involving Songjam and Aksorn, how was Aksorn initially able to see Songjam before he teleported to the present world? Why did Songjam arrive years before Aksorn encountered him, and why didn’t Songjam make it clear that Aksorn’s mother was the story’s author? These gaps could have been explored further to enhance the narrative’s complexity.

Despite these loose ends, the series achieved its primary goal: telling a story that was both coherent and captivating. It managed to tie everything together enough for viewers to understand the plot, even with the untied threads.

The leads were visually appealing, especially Parky, who played Songjam/Kyo. His looks had me gushing throughout the series, and it wasn’t until later that I realized how well he and Can’s visuals complemented each other.

One recurring issue, however, was the awkward execution of intimate scenes. It’s 2024, and the era of side lip kisses and stiff, hesitant interactions belongs to the 2015 days of Love By Chance and SOTUS. In a time when on-screen romances have become more genuine and Thailand has made significant strides in LGBTQ+ representation, such stilted moments felt out of place and a bit frustrating.

All things considered, the drama had strong points: a compelling plot, impressive cinematography, and solid acting. It wrapped up well, leaving me satisfied and excited for future projects from the cast.

Hopefully, I’ll even get the chance to attend their fan meet in the Philippines next year!

Plot twist twisted so hard she broke her back

This is what I would consider a cute short BL that probably won't make that much of a personal impact but will still be memorable. Since I do recommend every BL fan watches this I'll keep it short, but when going into this BL I would heavily suggest that you prepare for a really, really, dumb plot twist. That doesn't really make sense given the rules established, or rather lack of them, within the show itself. I for one, was simply along for the ride and didn't mind it too much. My only one other critique would be that the chemistry of the two male leads wasn't really there for me. It was like Peach of Time, sure, they're both pretty and they can kiss each other all they want. But I'm not sitting here giggling and kicking my feet.

Despite these two major critiques however, this BL was enjoyable to me and I looked forward to watching the newest episode every week it dropped.

The Story Shattered

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 fairytale one or a tragic one. While I certainly love a fairytale 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. While the story is strikingly enthralling for three-fourths of the way, it suddenly crashes literally and figuratively. It could have had either a fairytale ending or a tragic one. Instead, it went very weird in an odd way, and I felt in a cringeworthy way.
