Autumn in My Heart

This is a wonderful series from Thailand, and I highly recommend it. But note that the description is not correct (at least as of the date of this review).

This particular series is a Thailand remake of the 2000 series from Korea of the same name, Autumn in My Heart. That original series was superb, and this remake stays true to the story. It tells the same story, just from a bit of a different angle culturally, and with perhaps more or less emphasis placed on certain plot points.

I hoped it would respect the original by not changing composition of the story or characters, and I am pleased to say it stayed true.

I enjoyed it immensely, and the contrasts in scenery of the two countries, as well as the differences in basic society, are well worth seeing. I would say this Thai version is a bit "calmer", but that would be because of the different ways the emotions are expressed...naturally, they would be different, as Korea and Thailand are different. Both series are beautifully filmed.

As for a description of the story itself, it revolves around 2 families, who had daughters accidentally switched at birth. The truth was found out years later, but by then the family dynamics had been set, and while they could be adapted to, they could not be discarded.

Events and tragedies happen, and a lot is learned about love, sadness, redemption, and destiny. 1 great story, 2 great interpretations.
