Fate instead sends her back in time and into the body of Fong Nuan, a high-born woman of the city of Ullavee, where she is drawn into the contest for power among seven princes.<sup>[1](https://www.gmm-tv.com/news/4497/)</sup> A fuller synopsis describes her as a struggling hair stylist who flees to [Chiang Mai](https://www.edgepedia.org/chiang-mai) after losing her job and discovering her boyfriend's betrayal; after nearly drowning at a hot spring she awakens in the body of a sickly noblewoman of the ancient Lanna kingdom, where she meets the kind Chao Saen Thep, her sister's fiancé, and the stern Chao Mueang Fah, and her unconventional thinking captivates those around her.<sup>[2](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/76340/scarlet-heart-thailand)</sup>\n\n## Adaptation history\n\n*Startling by Each Step* was first adapted as the Chinese series *Scarlet Heart* in 2011, starring Cecilia Liu and [Nicky Wu](https://www.edgepedia.org/nicky-wu), and then as the South Korean series *Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo* in 2016, starring [Lee Ji-eun](https://www.edgepedia.org/iu-singer) and [Lee Joon-gi](https://www.edgepedia.org/lee-joon-gi). A comparative study of the two earlier versions found that the Mainland Chinese drama served as the model for the Korean one, with storyline and characters maintained, extended, modified, and reduced across the adaptations.<sup>[3](https://so14.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/VandVJournal/article/view/2344)</sup>\n\nNews of the remake drew extensive commentary from fans of the Korean version even before filming began.<sup>[4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n2T8O4pu3U)</sup>\n\n## Production\n\nPreparation began in late 2024. The production is a collaboration among GMMTV, The One Enterprise, and Nar-ra-tor, with Nattapong Mongkolsawat as producer and Darapa Chaysanguan and Sataporn Panichraksapong as executive producers.<sup>[5](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32203879/fullcredits/)</sup>\n\nGMMTV released the official trailer on 19 October 2026; it drew more than 27 million views across platforms within 24 hours, the highest first-day trailer viewership recorded for a GMMTV series.<sup>[6](https://digg.com/entertainment/mgkl5u1b)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.onamidramas.com/news/scarlet-heart-thailand-official-trailer-november-4-one31)</sup> A ticketed Grand Premiere event with the cast and director was scheduled for the premiere date, 4 November 2026, at Union Hall, Union Mall, Bangkok, with online ticket sales through ThaiTicketMajor opening on 24 October 2026.<sup>[8](https://taomeoticket.com/show/scarlet-heart-thailand-the-grand-premiere)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[9](https://ftp.daradaily.com/news/165761/read)</sup>\n\n## Cast\n\nThe eight leads are Tu Tontawan Tantivejakul, Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn, Nanon Korapat Kirdpan, Tay Tawan Vihokratana, Fourth Nattawat Jirochtikul, Phuwin Tangsakyuen, Perth Tanapon Sukumpantanasan, and Force Jiratchapong Srisang.
