Love Destiny (Thai: บุพเพสันนิวาส; RTGS: Bupphesanniwat; IPA: [bùp.pʰeː.sǎn.ní.wâ:t]) is a 2018 Thai historical television series that originally aired on Channel 3 from February 21 to April 11, 2018. The 15-episode series contains elements of romance, comedy, and time travel.[1][2] Starring Ranee Campen and Thanawat Wattanaputi, Love Destiny was a major hit in Thailand and gained popularity across Asia and contributed to a rise of tourists in the filming locations.[3] Success factors were attributed to its elaborate screenplay, costumes, and locations.[4]

The lakorn, set in Ayutthaya Kingdom, during the reign of King Narai, is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Rompaeng, the penname of Chanyawi Somprida.[5] The novel got the Seven book award in 2010 and was adapted into a television drama for the first time in this series. The television adaptation was done by Broadcast Thai Television, the scriptwrier was Sanlaya, and the director was Pawat Panangsiri.[6]

The second season, Prom Likit (พรหมลิขิต "Fate"), is planned to air in 2021.[7]

Synopsis[]

Ketsurang (Ranee Campen) was a history student. While traveling back home from a school excavation trip in Ayutthaya, Ketsurang and her friend, Rueang (), got into a car accident. Ketsurang woke up in the body of Karaket (การะเกด), who is the daughter of the ruler of Phitsanulok and is living in Ayutthaya, the capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, during the reign of King Narai (1656–1688). She lives in the residence of King Narai's chief astrologer, (พระยาโหราธิบดี), who is the father of her fiancé, (Thanawat Wattanaputi), a foreign ministry official holding the noble title of Muen Sunthon Thewa. The eccentric and goofy behavior of a modern-day woman like Ketsurang shocks everyone, but her kindness makes them change their attitude towards her, winning their hearts and minds eventually. She amazes the people with her knowledge of the era (historical events) and questions the knowledge she learns in the future whether it is based on truth or fabrication.

The drama also includes the Ayutthayan embassy accredited to the court of King Louis XIV of France, with Pan as ambassador. And the successful enterprise of Phra Phet Racha, King Narai's xenophobic regent, to seize power and get rid of the Christians in the kingdom. The coup is supported by the Buddhist clergy and Narai's own daughter, Princess Sudawadi, and leads to the execution of Phaulkon, who holds the position of Prime Counsellor of Ayutthaya and assumes the Thai noble title of Chao Phraya Wichayen.[8]: 59, 64
