The Burning Sun

2016 · 1 season

A stormy Thai melodrama of revenge and romance, where family loyalties clash and emotions run high.

Overview: Suriyen, a tough landowner, seeks revenge for his sister's murder, suspecting Tarntawan and her brother Nopasit. Tarntawan, returning from abroad, abandons her fashion design dreams to clear Nopasit's name after he's accused of the crime. Meanwhile, Nopasit's son, young and sickly Nong Peach, longs for his Aunt Kate's comfort amid the turmoil. As Suriyen targets them for vengeance, Tarntawan fights to protect Nong Peach and prove her family's innocence. Adding to the mix are Pensiri, Kate’s socialite best friend, and Wisut, a playboy interested in Pensiri—and perhaps Tarntawan.
