Description
Thirty years ago, Korn and Intouch were university students in Bangkok. Intouch entered Korn’s life despite knowing that he was the son of one of the most influential people in Bangkok, the mafia. At first, Korn kept pushing Intouch away, but in the end, he couldn’t resist the boy who was so full of life where he was the exact opposite and decided to let him into his heart. However, in a time where homosexuality was unacceptable and having parents that were against their relationship and each other, Korn and In’s love was bound to be doomed. Midst the chaos, while Intouch kept on fighting for their future, Korn could not deal with all the suffering his lover was facing and decided to give up. That day, two sounds of a gunshot rang through the air. Their story ended with tragedy, but something had already tied itself between them, binding them together even after they were dead. Years later, a freshly returned to Thailand, Pharm (19) who is a freshman in T- University has grown up always feeling like he is waiting for someone. Being riddled with sad dreams that always left him waking up with a wet face, fear of loud noises, and a birthmark on his temple, the boy has always felt like there is someone he is missing. Dean (21), the third year swimming club’s president at T- University has also spent his life searching for someone whose face he can not remember. The red thread of fate that had tied them together in their past life once again pulls the two boys back to each other, tying them to each other and a past that might not be worth remembering, but a love that is unforgettable. Because the red thread that binds the two hearts together will always lead one back to the other. Even though it might tangle or stretch, but it will never break.

My Thoughts on The Red Thread
"The Red Thread" promised a rollercoaster of emotions, and boy, did it deliver. Diving into this story, I knew I was signing up for a journey filled with both sweetness and heartache, and I wasn't disappointed. The blend of genres – drama, fantasy, romance, and even a touch of slice of life – created a rich tapestry that kept me thoroughly engaged.
First Impressions
Right from the start, the premise of reincarnated lovers grabbed my attention. The idea of a second chance, of Dean and Pharm finding their way back to each other after the tragic fate of In and Korn, was incredibly compelling. I immediately felt invested in their journey to overcome the shadows of the past and forge their own future.
What Works Well
The exploration of past trauma and its impact on the present is handled with sensitivity and care. The development of Dean and Pharm's relationship felt organic, and I was particularly drawn to Pharm's character. His shyness and passion for cooking added layers of depth, making him incredibly endearing. The theme of eternal love, beautifully woven throughout the narrative, resonated deeply, and the moments of reunion and connection were truly heartwarming. I found myself rooting for them every step of the way, eager to see them break free from the cycle of tragedy.
Areas of Concern
While the angst and emotional turmoil are central to the story, I can see how some readers might find it overwhelming. The presence of "narrow-minded bigots" as mentioned in some reviews, can be a challenging element for some to stomach. However, I feel this is used to create a realistic portrayal of the challenges the characters face.
