Synopsis
While traveling back home from a school excavation trip in Ayutthaya, Ketsurang (Ranee Campen), a history student and her friend, Rueangrit (Prama Imanothai), got into a car accident. Ketsurang wakes up in the body of Karaket (การะเกด), the daughter of the ruler of Phitsanulok who was 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, Phraya Horathibodi (พระยาโหราธิบดี), who is the father of her fiancé, Det (Thanawat Wattanaputi), a foreign ministry official holding the noble title of Muen Sunthon Thewa. The eccentric and goofy behavior of Ketsurang shocks everyone, but her kindness changes their attitudes towards her, eventually winning their hearts and minds. She amazes the people with her knowledge of the historical events of the era and questions the veracity of the knowledge she had learned in the future. The drama also includes the Ayutthayan embassy accredited to the court of King Louis XIV of France, with Pan as the ambassador, in addition to 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 was supported by the Buddhist clergy and Narai's own daughter, Princess Sudawadi, and leads to the execution of Phaulkon, who held the position of Prime Counsellor of Ayutthaya and assumed the Thai noble title of Chao Phraya Wichayen. ==Cast==
