25 years from now.

I’ve gone back to the past and been reborn in this body!

Is this some kind of sci-fi movie plot?

If I hadn’t been reborn, I don’t think I ever would’ve met you.

I believe it was our fate that brought us together.

Is there something you're still hiding from me?

When are you finally going to tell me?

Suspend all of Armin’s work because he went to the casting without informing Venus.

Are you deliberately using the contract to bully me?

If freedom’s what you want,

then break the contract and pay the penalty.

You’re my property under contract.

Don’t forget it.

Why are you toying with my life like this?

You showed up to give me a chance, only to send your brother to destroy it.

So, what is it you want from my life? Hmph!

So, it’s Thiwthit, huh?

Believe in your dreams.

Drink lots of water to ease your hangover.

Same as always! Ugh!!

He’s here!

You're here already?

I’m here to see Mr. Thiwthit.

It’s like you planned it.

Mr. Thiwthit, the person of topic has arrived.

Mr, Thiwthit, I have something I need to discuss with you.

Come in.

Well... Hello.

This is Janine, he will be your new manager.

Manager?

We meet again.

It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Yes.

Uh….

But….

Why are you changing my manager now?

Is this all your doing?

Can you stop with the questions?

I have business to take care of.

Leave.

Leave!

Uh..we can’t leave just yet…It’s just that….

There are some documents you must sign first.

Please sign this.

Tch.

Thank you.

Come…Let’s go.

Please go.

- Hey. - Huh?

Explain to me.

What exactly happened?

Why, all of a sudden, would someone like...? So, you're one of Crown's people,

and now you're here, acting as my manager?

Calm down. First of all, the only reason I'm here is because of Crown.

They saw your so-called acting ability during the audition.

But it was a closed audition, so how could anyone from Crown have seen it?

Hello...

Crown is still Crown.

No need to act confused, because now you’ve got what you wanted.

You should be happy.

Crown sent me to be your personal manager.

So from now on, I’ll be handling everything for you.

You can now do whatever you want.

And the first job you'll be doing is...

Star in the film Deep Depths.

I passed the audition?

Yes.

Congratulations, Armin. You’re really talented.

Hey, feel free to speak casually with me.

We still have to work together for a long time.

And thank you for coming back to be my manager.

Huh?

Wait a minute? What are you thanking me about?

I just became your manager.

Why would you thank me? I don’t understand.

Let’s just say thank you then.

It’s okay, you don’t have to thank me.

You’d better thank Crown instead. Because they are my boss.

I have connections abroad.

The investors over there are interested in investing in the entertainment business in Thailand.

I'm about to make Venus huge, and didn’t we already agree on the management authority?

So why did you still sell that actor to Crown?

You're making this much of a fuss over some no-name background actor? Seriously?

But this! You should have consulted me first.

As a business partner.

I still have the right to make certain decisions in the company without asking you.

You and your brother are both trying to snatch this background actor.

What’s so special about him?

Look…

Is Tada behind all of this?

I already know something.

If this were a business game, how would you make your move to counter it?

Oh, damn it. Damn it.

If there’s no appointment, you can’t come in.

Move aside, you subservient.

It’s okay.

Mr. Thiwthit must have an urgent matter, which is why he forgot his manners.

This is how you want to play, huh?

You might think you’ve beaten me, but this game isn’t over!!!

You think I don’t have the ability to do anything, right?

Just a worthless background actor, huh?

But sorry, I’m going to make you regret it.

I’ll make Venus surpass Crown,

and then you’ll know who really wins this game, it's me!

Mr. Thiwthit said all of this, and you're still going to let him manage Venus?

I just want to know. How he will make his next move?

You’re not acting like an older brother, teaching your younger sibling how to play the game, are you?

But no matter what you plan to do,

someone like Mr. Thiwthit is not a weak, defenseless child that you can easily handle.

I know this.

You do realize, don’t you, that making a move like this won’t just shock Venus?

But the whole country is about to start wondering who exactly is Armin,

and why are two major companies fighting over him like this?

I know.

Because that was my intention.

Can I ask to meet you this evening?

Mr. Armin?

Mmm…Yes.

Hmm... do I have anything else scheduled after this?

No...

I got this.

Willing to pay.

Tore up the contract just to be near him. My boss really goes all in.

The Battle for Armin, an actor who once made headlines with Pharit.

Between Venus, Armin’s former agency, and Crown Enterprises.

So what’s the deal with Armin?

Crown dropped a serious stack of cash to rip up his contract with Venus

and snatch him up for their own roster even though Crown's already bursting at the seams with A-listers.

There’s more insiders are whispering that,

could it be a sibling showdown between Tada and Thiwthit?

Thiwthit just stepped into the role of top exec at Venus,

and now big bro Tada’s swooping in to steal his thunder?

Come on in.

You’re the one behind this, right?

Mmm..Hmm…

Actually...

I can do much more for you than that.

Are you hungry?

I made some noodles, so that maybe we can...

♫ Even if I turned back time and start over countless times ♫

♫ I'm still certain it would be you ♫

♫ Every time I meet you ♫

♫ I'd fall in love with you just the same ♫

♫ Though the years may pull us far apart ♫

♫ Someday we'll meet, just like the start ♫

♫ The moment I look into your eyes ♫

♫ Believe me, I will love you the same ♫

Thank you.

For everything.

You are the gift in my new life.

You…

Aren’t you hungry?

I made these noodles just for you.

Go sit down and wait please.

No.

This is the time to return the favor Mr.Tada.

I'm gonna help.

Here it is.

Wow.

These noodles are gonna be the most popular noodles of the future.

This recipe’s from my favorite spot over on Banthat Thong Road.

But I haven’t been there in a long time.

Back then, it was full of teenagers and tourists, way too chaotic for someone my age.

Alright, let me serve you a bowl.

Looks delicious.

Try it.

Mmmm….

You….

This is too delicious.

Don’t go cooking this for anyone else.

This is my special recipe by you.

Mmmmm.

No promises.

Hey!

If you really come from the future,

how is the world different from now?

Hmm...

In the future, there will be so many amazing things to see.

Hey.

Look over there!

There will be a shopping mall, with big buildings coming up.

And those billboards will turn into something like TV screens.

Everyone will have their own TV in hand.

It will make everyone keep their heads down, lost in their own world.

Sometimes, I feel like the world right now is actually more fun.

Eat up before it gets cold.

I really like this show.

It’s the show my dad and I love the most.

I still remember the last time we sat down to watch our favorite show together, it was this one.

But...

It’s been many years since then.

Since...

before my father passed away.

In the future, this show will come to a close.

Doesn't it feel a bit heartbreaking to hear that?

Well, that's just how it is. Old things go, new things come.

Nothing lasts forever.

Hey…you…enough already.

I know what we can do.

Let’s do something fun.

What?

TikTok.

Tik…

TikTok?

MmHmm.

Come on.

It's short video clips.

The younger generation calls it "content".

The younger generation really loves it. It's super popular too.

Ok, well…What do I have to do?

You just set up the camera...

I'll adjust the angle for you.

Okay.

Stay still and steady.

Count down 3 seconds for me.

3...

2...

1...

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

Let me see. How is it?

Wait, be careful.

Now it’s your turn.

Come on.

Uh…ha

Ready?

Wait…

What do you want me to do?

Dance of course!

3…4...

- Wait… - If your...

I can’t dance.

If your….Hey you.

Enough with that already.

In the future, there will be Instagram, Facebook, and X

where people can post pictures and videos,

and write captions to express how they feel at that moment.

What is it that you want to express about how you feel right now?

What's the caption? What hashtags, and who are they for?

Alright, you ready?

5..4..3..

2..1..

ACTION!

Hey Tada.

You're wasting both memory and batteries…hurry up….

5..4..3..2..1..

Go!

You are my artist.

No matter what you desire,

I’ll always take care of you and support you in everything.

Hashtag...

#ArminFanclub

Hey….you….

I wanted you to caption the clip I filmed of you.

Not turn it into something about me.

Thank you.

I will be the best actor I can be.

Make it worthy of the support you've given me.

Mr. Chairman.

And what kind of…

Hashtag will you create?

Hashtag....

I wanna kiss you.

You’ve got it.

Hello Mr. Armin.

Hello.

Kindly have a seat and wait over here, please.

And this time.

I became an actor in Crown Enterprise.

Mr. Armin.

Right this way please.

What do you think, after reading the script?

I think this story is really good. It's very interesting.

And what about you? What do you think of this story?

I think... because it's a big production.

The storyline is great.

I think it’s definitely going to be a hit.

I think so too.

Oh, Armin just arrived.

Ren.

Pharit.

You’re here.

Oh! Armin.

Sam.

You’re late, huh?

Was there traffic?

No matter what, it seems like we just can't avoid each other.

Armin?

Alright... everyone’s ready now.

Let's go.

Come on, let’s go!

Here, I’ll hand out the scripts from our workshop. Let’s do this.

Come.

Ready? Please sit down, make yourselves comfortable.

Sit. Okay, and here is our official cast.

Okay.

This is Ren and Sam.

As actors with the studio selected additional to take part in this film acting alongside.

Alright, but first, let’s get to know each other.

Hello I’m Pharit.

Hello I'm Ren.

Hello I'm Sam.

What do you think, Sir?

The marketing plan needs to be more internationally comprehensive.

Marketing needs to be more forward-thinking.

This plan doesn’t get my approval yet.

Mr. Armin has his first workshop today, Sir.

Will you go watch?

No, I better now.

Which room?

This way, Sir.

We're diving into some improv.

Everyone, please stay in character as briefed just now.

If everyone’s clear, get ready and begin.

What exactly do you want from me?

All I want is for you not to betray me.

Someone like you deserves to be betrayed.

Even your own friend betrayed you.

I didn’t mean it...

I didn’t mean it.

I was just jealous of you, that you have everything.

I didn’t mean it... I just...

Let Go!!!

I won’t ask what your reasons were.

And I’ll make you watch as I take my revenge.

You, the traitor, the one who stabbed me in the back, the one who hurt me...

I will never let you find happiness.

I swear.

I’ll make all of you pay.

Uh, hold on a sec, Director. Wait a minute.

I’m really lost here...

What’s going on? Is this going overboard?

Are you planning to bully others? Aren’t you worried your friends might get hurt?

Figures, you’re the one with connections.

So you're making the one with connections look talented?

Ren.

So sorry.

How’s it going, Sam? You good?

I'm good, Sir.

- You’re not hurt, are you? - I’m not hurt.

Armin?

You’re really feeling it, right?

But, but take it easy. Overall, it’s really good hold onto that feeling.

Yeah... but just calm yourself down first.

Let your friend know it’s all good.

You can step out of character now. Okay?

Armin got this role just because of his connections?

Look at that. Out of nowhere, a background character gets a lead role.

Even if no one says anything, isn’t that something to talk about?

Uh….

Let’s get back to work.

Wenai.

Copy that.

Don't you think?

Yeah.

You’ve both been placed on indefinite leave from work.

Excuse me...

But may I ask what this is regarding?

From this point forward, you are not permitted to make any negative comments about this company’s artists.

Once everyone is ready, begin.

What are you doing sitting here?

Aren't you cold?

Don't be scared.

I won't hurt you.

Look.

I'm safe.

Come and stay with me.

My home is warm and spacious.

What would I have to give in return?

A trade-off, huh?

Come and be by my side.

Do whatever is needed.

Do anything and everything?

Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to do anything weird.

Just be with me to keep me company.

Come and live with me.

Cut! Good.

Awesome.

Everyone did really well today.

Now, go home and do your character homework thoroughly.

We’ll see each other next time, okay? Alright, thank you all.

Alright, see you! See you, see you, see you!

Thanks a lot. Let’s go.

Ren, who always tries to hurt me.

I was super annoyed in the workshop earlier.

Armin was just terrible.

But he did pass the casting, Ren.

Come on, do you really think I’d believe that? He totally has connections.

His acting sucked, and yet the director didn’t even say a single thing.

He’s either a sponsor’s favorite or backed by some rich guy.

He somehow lands a lead role in a co-production film?

Jump that big? He must’ve traded something for it.

If you’ve got something to say to me...

Go ahead.

Don't waste your time talking about me to others.

Just in case the info isn’t accurate.

I don’t want to get the wrong idea about you.

What’re you talking about?

Long day, huh, Armin?

Armin.

We haven’t had a proper conversation since that day.

Is there something you want to talk to me about?

I’m not really up for talking with you right now.

I simply want to live my life on my own terms but differently this time.

What are you daydreaming about?

Is something bothering you?

Acting in this film is like hitting the reset button on my life.

But I’m not sure if I’m playing the game right, or holding onto the right pieces.

I’m not sure I fully understand what you mean.

But I just want you to know that you’re not playing this game alone.

Armin, you are one of mine.

What I mean is...

You’re an artist signed with my company.

Alright, and then what? I’m all ears.

Crown and I are in this game with you.

And we’re determined to make this film and you a success.

Armin’s underdog status is what easily earns people’s sympathy.

Therefore, to get him recognized,

we need to highlight this right from the start.

Let the media tell the story of Armin’s struggles working side jobs

and pushing through hardships before he got this acting role.

Basil pork stir-fry.

One, two, three.

There’s no need to come across so vulnerable.

Simply show the struggles endured, along with unwavering determination.

This will help you tell your story,

highlight your heroism, and inspire people to support you.

Will people really think the way we want them to just from how we present it?

Not everyone will go along with it. There might be criticism or harmful news.

But if you stay quiet and let your work and good news speak for you,

your fans will naturally want to defend you.

I truly feel bad about the news that has come out.

Ultimately, I hope people will judge me by my work.

So, you're probably thinking about your work that's been shown, right?

Yes.

Whenever I’m given the opportunity, I’ll give it my all.

- I’ll give it my all. - Ahhhhh!!!!!…..

It's Armin….Armin!

Please excuse me.

Hey Armin, is this place yours?

Yes it is.

Oh! Wow…it’s true then!

We all really love you, Armin.

Yes, we’re really happy to see you.

Just wanted you to know don’t worry about the news.

We’ll still go watch your film no matter what.

Yes Yes.

Hold on, let me snap a quick picture.

By all means.

Yes.

If you don’t mind.

- Auntie. - What?

Where did all these people come from?

They followed him.

Here.

You're friend is famous now.

Thank you.

Right now, Armin’s image has improved a lot.

Before, people used to gossip that he was just a “kid with connections”

But now the reporters really like him and feel a lot of sympathy for him

as someone who fights through life.

They also say he has a lot of fans who love him.

In fact, the fans are currently organizing a fan club group to support Armin.

So, it’s time for us...

to move on to the next marketing strategy in support of Armin.

What is it?

What exactly is it, Janine?

Uh...is...!!!

I’ll go ask Mr. Tada myself.

I apologize.

Why can’t you cover my story?

I’ve already sent all the information.

The news you want to publish was clearly meant to damage Armin,

which in turn makes me an enemy of Tada.

So, you know?

Everyone in the media world already knows that you and your brother are at war with each other.

Don’t drag me into it.

Is this enough to make you stand and fight this war alongside me?

Tada isn’t just have Crown, he’s got other businesses too.

I’m still recovering from the Tom Yum Kung crisis.

I don’t want to make an enemy out of Tada right now.

Mark my words, you’ll regret the day you chose to become my enemy.

My boy looks so handsome today.

I’m really proud of you.

Wow!!

Whose boy is this? So handsome!

So handsome it’s practically a headache and a heartbreaker too.

Lily’s into younger guys, huh?

Hello there, sir!

This is Achi. Please be kind to him, okay?

Take good care of him, dear. Let’s go!

Go ahead.

Thank you very much, sir!

Wow, thank you so much!

Lily will always take good care of you.

Wishing you lots of happiness.

Ah, that explains it.

No wonder you’re pushing this kid so hard.

The more you make the product hot.

The higher the value.

We warmly welcome all our honored guests.

To the 60th anniversary celebration of Celeste Palace Bangkok.

This anniversary event is bigger than any before.

I’m still curious who’s going to kick off the event.

Who do you think?

Narin, the famous singer,

no one else at this event stands out like him.

Rolls Royce Effect, will it really work?

Are you ready?

Oh it’s Mr.Tada.

With this camera as well, please.

This way please, Mr.Tada.

Ooooh…!

The human brain works by making comparisons.

You wouldn’t just park a Rolls Royce anywhere.

Because it would invite comparisons to the ordinary.

I will make sure you stand out beyond ordinary.

With this camera as well, please.

With this camera as well, please.

Hey…

That’s Mr.Tada, the president of Crown Enterprises, right?

He normally doesn’t attend events like this, right?

A truly rare photo.

By the way... who’s he with?

Yeah, who?

Hello Mr. Chairman.

You need to attend a grand event.

The human brain will associate you with that greatness.

A grand event makes you special.

And you become as valuable as a Rolls Royce.

You give me your body, I give you fame.

Those are the rules.

Please don’t make me feel awkward like everyone else.

Can’t we just forget those rules?

My new life gained recognition faster.

And became more valuable because of you, Tada.

Do I have something on my face?

No, I just feel grateful.

But no words seem enough to truly capture what I feel for you.

Then just be thankful and accept it.

Nice to see you here, Mr.Tada.

You didn’t mention you were coming.

I’m sorry for interrupting.

I didn’t realize you were in the middle of a conversation.

May I ask who you are?

Hello, Sir. I’m Armin.

Ahh… Hello.

I’ve heard a reputation about you.

Thank you so much.

If you’ll excuse me, I’m going the restroom.

Please do continue your conversation.

You don’t usually show up at events like this.

You’ve always watched me from a distance.

Every time I invited you, you turned me down.

So it’s a bit strange, seeing you here today.

He must be someone truly special to you.

Come talk to me immediately.

Mr.Tada.

You do realize you're crossing the line, don’t you?

Yes.

I’m always aware but I just couldn’t control myself.

I’m sorry for what I said.

- I truly hope you’ll give me another chance. - No.

The agreement between you and me ends here.

But I already apologized.

I crossed the line.

I broke the rules you set but beyond all of that...

Have you ever felt the same way about me

as I feel about you?

Poor Narin, huh?

Tada brought in a new guy for the debut.

And now from being number one, he’s dropped to number two.

Oh!!!

Armin!!!

I’m asking for one more chance, Mr.Tada.

To let me love you.

I’ll stay within my own confines, and that’s all I need.

Narin, let go.

I apologize for interrupting.

I truly didn’t mean to.

Narin!!!

Please give me one more chance.

That's enough, Narin.

Mr.Tada.

Armin.

Wait, Armin!!!

Armin.

Armin, give me a moment to explain?

Armin, please.

Narin is just an artist in the company.

We were just discussing about our agreement earlier.

What happens between him and you.

Whatever you two talk about.

It’s none of my business.

But I’m honestly asking you...

Why have you been trying so hard to help me all this time?

So, what is it that you really want from me?

You want me to be like Narin? Is that it?

What I hate the most is being the third wheel.

But right now.

I really hate that I’ve become the third wheel in someone else’s relationship.

Since I was born.

I’ve never been in a relationship with anyone.

Narin approached me with a deal.

Everything between him and me was business.

But with you, it’s different.

Enough. You don’t have to do this.

Whatever you choose to do is your own right.

No need to explain anything.

I never knew you before.

And I think, It should go back to being that way.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for everything you've done.

But there are some things I just can’t accept.

I don’t want to be the cause of hurting anyone’s relationship.

And I don’t want to be just a business transaction for you.

Alright then, please get some rest.

I won’t disturb you anymore.

You’ve misunderstood me.

Let’s just say I apologize for everything.

Can we start over?

If there’s anything you want me to change.

I’ll do it.

Just tell me.

♫ Do you believe in destiny? ♫

♫ Like a book already written ♫

♫ Two strangers once so far apart ♫

♫ Now standing here, heart to heart ♫

♫ The day I found you ♫

♫ Could not have been just a coincidence ♫

♫ It was fate that drew the line, making me love you ♫

♫ I believe that ♫

♫ If that day we hadn’t met ♫

♫ If I had simply overlooked you ♫

♫ Would things have changed? ♫

♫ Even if the story were different ♫

♫ I think we'd still be the same ♫

♫ Nothing would change ♫

If I could change what’s happening at this moment.

My future could change as well.

Could this be the reason why I was able to go back in time?

“Deep Depths.”

You can spare some time for me now, right?

Meet me tomorrow at the perfume photoshoot.

Bring your lucky charm necklace too.

I owe my happiness in this new life becuase of you, Tada.
