WARNING: SPOILER AHEAD. Read at your own risk!

Yai and Jom are digging under the plumeria tree, sensing that something significant lies buried there. Trusting his intuition, Yai seeks Jom’s help, and together, they uncover a box containing a ring. Convinced that the ring is meant for Jom, Yai encourages him to try it on. Despite Jom’s initial doubts, Yai assures him that he will be with him if anything bad happens. To their surprise, the ring fits perfectly on Jom’s ring finger. In a sudden twist, a man identical to Yai appears, reminding him that his heart will always be with him forever. Jom suddenly wakes up with a shout, relieved to find himself in Yai’s room. Staring at Yai, who is now awake, Jom remembers and shares the dream with him. Concerned, Yai worries that this version of him may have caused harm, but Jom shares the words spoken by Yai in his dream. Puzzled by the dream’s meaning, Jom is troubled so Yai offers him comfort. Following the dream, Yai and Jom decide to investigate the plumeria tree in reality, seeking confirmation of whether something was truly buried there. Jom suspects that his dream might have been influenced by his anxiety. However, their search is interrupted since it’s time to bid farewell to Eeang Peung and Maey for their journey to Phranakorn. At the main house, Eeang Peung confirms her decision to leave, acknowledging the difficulty of remaining at their house because of the memories with Robert. Despite his absence, she can’t bear to dwell on the past. Assuring her mother that she and Maey would restore the family’s old house in Phranakorn, she mentioned the plan of selling items to make some income. Eeang Peung expressed her intention to study politics during this period. While her father is surprised, her mother recognizes that Eeang Peung has made up her mind, leaving her with no room for further persuasion. Eeang Peung’s mother requests Maey to take care of her daughter, a request that Maey gladly accepts. Luang feels that whatever the two want to do, just do it, surrendering after everything that happened. He informed them that Chan had prepared the car at the front of the house and requested Eeang Peung to send letters while wishing her luck. His words brought tears to Eeang Peung’s eyes, and a sense of joy enveloped the entire house. Yai and Jom bid Eeang Peung and Maey farewell, and both ask each other to take care of themselves. Yai gives them his word that he will take care of Jom, ensuring his safety. Yai asks that Maey take care of his sister for him and Eeang Peung also asks Jom to take care of Yai, feeling a sense of connection between them. As Yai and Jom ascend the stairs, Yai mentions having dinner at the main house to discuss his decision to study overseas. It seems his father may have reconsidered, judging by his reaction to Eeang Peung’s departure. Upstairs, Jom notices covered mirrors, and Yai explains it’s to spare Jom from seeing his shadow fading away. Yai reassures Jom not to worry about the future and emphasizes his presence, instantly comforting Jom.

Unable to sleep, Jom briefly uncovers the mirror in Yai’s room, staring at his fading reflection. He then heads to the pier alone where Khamsan arrives, distressed by Fong Kaew’s sudden departure. She left with a letter explaining her desire for a new life with her mother. Khamsan is confused by her departure despite giving her all his love, leaving him with nothing but his life. Jom comforts Khamsan, advising him to move on and consider that they may not be meant for each other in this life. Jom shares Fong Kaew’s situation, urging Khamsan to put himself in her shoes and suggesting that in another life, they might end up together. Yai, noticing Jom’s absence from bed, quickly searches for him and finds him downstairs, immediately embracing him. Yai, fearing Jom had left when he woke up alone, tears up and expresses his fear. Jom comforts Yai, who responds with a tender kiss, confessing his love, aware that opportunities for such moments are limited. They share an intimate moment in the bedroom, Yai giving every part of Jom soft kisses. As Yai reminisces about their shared moments, he becomes overwhelmed with emotion and starts to cry. In that moment, they share another bittersweet kiss, holding each other close afterward to find comfort in each other’s embrace. The next morning, Yai wakes up in surprise to find Jom almost completely transparent. Jom, equally shocked, examines his form. They head to the forest, searching for the exact location Jom recalled from the sketch in the chest. Yai suggests Jom take a rest beside him, and they share a moment with Jom resting his head on Yai’s shoulder. Yai asks if Jom will think of him while abroad, and Jom assures him. Yai opens up about his aspiration to become a judge, and Jom promises to wait for him at the little house until his return. Yai takes Jom’s hand, caresses his cheek, and pledges unwavering love no matter the distance or time apart, sealing it with a kiss. Yai suggests drawing a portrait of Jom as a souvenir for his time overseas, positioning him by the tree. As Yai sketches, Jom begins to vanish before him. Jom, fading away, urges Yai to enjoy life to the fullest in his absence. Yai pleads with Jom not to go and to stay with him, but Jom reassures him, reminding Yai of his promise to wait for him at the house of Palathip, and expresses his love. Jom requests Yai to smile as he bids farewell. Seeing Jom in tears, Yai hugs him tightly until Jom gradually fades away in his arms. Yai collapses to the ground, overcome with grief, and cries his heart out.

Upon waking up, Jom finds himself back in the water, reminiscent of the first episode. In this surreal moment, he encounters a different version of Yai from his dream, who holds him close before he is pulled away by a diver and rushed to the hospital. Now in his present time, Jom is back at his place with his sister, who claims to have cleaned up for him. Jom pats her appreciatively, and she informs him that Ohm had called his phone while he was in the hospital but has now blocked his number to spare Jom any worry. As they talk, there’s a knock at the door, and when it opens, Ohm and his pregnant lover greet Jeed. Ohm explains that he wanted to visit Jom in the hospital but found out he had just left, leading them to check his place. They all gather in the living room, and Jom asks the upset Jeed to wait in the room. Ohm and Khaimook apologize sincerely, expressing concern about Jom’s accident and not wanting their situation to remain strained. Jom understands their feelings, knowing the struggles faced by Khamsan, who was unable to be with Fong Kaew in the previous lifetime. After the apologies, Jom indulges in desserts while Jeed questions how he could talk to Ohm and Khaimook so nicely and asks about his feelings. Jom admits that there are moments when he thinks of something unexpectedly and suddenly recalls that before the accident, Jeed wanted to share something with him. It turns out that Jeed has a crush on her friend, who is a girl and is already in a relationship. Jom reassures her, expressing that he doesn’t mind, given that she is his sister. He emphasizes that, just like her acceptance of him, as long as she doesn’t ruin their relationship, he supports her. Jeed holds Jom’s hands, and they both express gratitude towards each other before breaking away and fighting over the desserts. At night, Jom is startled awake by Yai’s voice calling him. Realizing he is back in his own time, he tears up while gently caressing the string bracelet on his wrist, missing Yai. The next day, he resumes work and greets Uncle Tan at the House of Palathip. Uncle Tan was agitated when he heard of his accident and prayed for the holy spirits to bless and protect him. Uncle Tan requests Jom to perform the ceremony to restore his blessings, surprising Jom with Uncle Tan’s knowledge of the ritual. Although Uncle Tan admits he may not fully believe in it, he explains that it is an ancient belief among Northern people. Uncle Tan hands Jom a key, mentioning that it’s from the lady who owns the house, and insists that Jom receive it. He also tells Jom the strange story of when they first found the chest, it was so heavy none of the staff could carry it and none of the keys he had could open it. He informs him that the chest is in the same place before going back to work.

Jom enters the room where the chest is kept and opens it. Inside, he discovers the box containing the pocket watch Yai gave him and the photo from his goodbye party with everyone. He finds the sketches he drew during that time, flipping through each one and reliving the moments. Overwhelmed with emotion, he holds the sketches close, and that’s when he notices a letter among them. The letter is from Yai, explaining what happened after Jom left. Yai felt he had lost his blessings and struggled to understand Jom’s promise to wait for him at the House of Palathip. Yai’s health deteriorated to the point where his family held a blessing ceremony for him, and only during his studies abroad did he gradually recover and remember his promise to Jom about making a change. Yai has understood that the current of time always runs forward without any retreat. Jom might be Yai’s past but to him, Jom is his future, and hopes they will get back and spend their lives together. As Jom reads the letter on the stairs, he breaks down in tears and calls out for Yai. Someone responds to his call, and as Jom looks up, he is surprised to see Yai standing in front of him. Overjoyed, he rushes to hug Yai, and they share a heartfelt embrace, expressing how much they’ve missed each other. Yai explains that he has never left the place and asks if Jom waited long for him. Jom knows Yai has waited longer than him and they share another heartfelt hug. Yai gently wipes away Jom’s tears, pats his head, and gives him a sweet kiss, expressing his deep longing for his blessing, Jom. After the after-credits scene, Jom wakes up in the forest and starts walking around, attempting to recognize his surroundings. As exhaustion sets in, he hears the sound of horses and finds himself surrounded by people on horseback. Among them, he notices someone familiar and calls out their name, recognizing him as the different version of Yai he dreamt of. Surprising the person, they dismount the horse and ask about Jom’s identity and how he knows his name.

It took me a considerable amount of time to fully move on from this series, primarily due to how everything unfolded throughout the episodes and the satisfying conclusion. The emotions, particularly Jom’s heartbreak and desperation when sent back in time, were vividly portrayed. I felt the love and longing both had for each other. However, the after-credits scene, teasing another season, both confuses and excites me. While understanding Jom’s initial purpose for time travel, the lingering question is: what mission awaits him after being sent even further back in time?
