Short and Soothing
Subjective Gut Rating: 8.25“Letter from the Sun” is a soothing and slow-paced drama that introduces the Thai art of weaving. Through the stories of two generations, we learn a little more of Thai cultures and the meaning of patience, dedication and commitment.
The plot itself is very simple. ML travels to Thailand to learn about his mother’s special box after her passing. As he discovers the meaning and story behind this beautifully weaved box, he also encounters a short romantic interlude in his life. There are no plot twists, no angst, but it is quite bittersweet. This drama can be interpreted as very slow, or just the perfect pace if you want something calming.
I enjoy the mix of cultures and languages in this drama. Except for Ayako (ML’s mother), all actors are Thai even though ML and his fiance speak Japanese. I am not sure if there’s a thick accent, but they sound believable to me. Acting is good and cinematography is nice. With only two episodes, I think “Letter from the Sun” did a great job in pacing and storytelling, without feeling rushed or unsatisfying.
If you are looking for something short, soothing and slow-paced, this is the perfect one for you.
