Fresh chemistry sparks in the new series "An Neung Ma Jak" as Biew Natthapol pairs with Eve Kannatsini for the first time. The drama weaves an intense cross-era romance with the allure of royal Thai cuisine. Through a mysterious vow and a promise bound to another, time bends between the present and the reign of King Rama VI, where food becomes the bridge connecting two women — Phim (Kannatsini Thammee), a poised, talented noblewoman mastering ancient palace recipes, and Khao Mao (Aphitsara Wongthatsaniyo), a modern dreamer chasing a chef career to save her struggling family. Initially wary, they gradually trust each other's origins and goals. Phim helps Khao Mao compete for entry into the prestigious Institute of Taste, while Khao Mao helps Phim survive in a foreign era.
In the present, the women meet two men: Thana (Natthapol Raiyong) and Chef Prem (Tantawan Thaddeo), heirs of the Institute. Phim and Thana clash from their first encounter. Simultaneously in the past, time runs parallel as Khun Chai Tri (Kongphop Banthong) desperately searches for his beloved Phim, turning the palace upside down. Rumors spread that Phim eloped with a secret lover, leaving Khun Chai Tri heartbroken and resentful, refusing to eat any dish she once prepared.
How will Phim clear her name? Who summoned her across time? What awaits her in this era, and can she ever return home? Throughout six episodes, she carries the legacy of royal Thai cuisine, passing it on as Thai cultural soft power. This feel-good romantic comedy delivers charm, laughter, and heart.
Watch "An Neung Ma Jak" weekdays at 3:00 PM starting Friday, November 20, live on Channel 7HD (35) or streaming on CH7ON.
