Premise and structure

The series centers on a shop called Good Old Days that buys and sells old objects. He (Krist Perawat) is the young owner who takes in items that record the memories of the people who sell them, and the value of each piece lies in the story behind it.¹ A young woman named Mai (Prim Chanikarn) wanders into the shop only to pass time, and through the six old items He describes to her she encounters stories worth more than she expected.⁸

The six items and their episodes are:⁹

Bond and Relationship (a ball): a painful bond. Phu (Lee Thanat Lowkhunsombat) owns an old souvenir ball from when Thailand hosted the Asian Games in 1998 (B.E. 2541); he has closed himself off from relationships until he meets Mint (Fah Yongwaree Anilbol), and the ball connects him to childhood memories of his dog Ryu and his mother (Tay Penpak Sirikul).¹⁰
Memories Of Happiness (old film): a secret that cannot be erased, with Tay Tawan Vihokratana, Toy Pathompong Reonchaidee, Aye Sarunchana Apisamaimongkol, and others.⁹
Road to Regret (an old car): a journey into memories full of sadness, regret, and guilt, with Joss Way-Ar Sangngern, Namtan Tipnaree Weerawatnodom, Kay Lertsittichai, and Dew Ratananth.⁹
Our Soundtrack (a guitar): dreams and endings. Thong (Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree), a once-famous indie singer, sells his beloved guitar to the shop for something more valuable to his life; the story flashes back to his school friendship with Gib (Kanyawee Songmuang) and their shared musical ambitions.¹¹
Love Wins (an olive-branch ring): a promise not kept. Miu (Pat Chayanit Chansangavej) and Mae (Win Metawin Opas-Iamkajorn) have a seven-year relationship leading to a wedding day after getting engaged at graduation, with a ring made from an olive branch as the token of the promise.⁹
Somewhere Only We Belong (games): a time one wants to return to. He himself is at the center of this story; facing land expropriation, he must leave the shophouse that has been his lifelong home and remembers when it ran as a vintage game shop with only old game consoles.¹⁰

Cast and production

GMMTV assembled a large ensemble of its leading young actors: Krist Perawat, Prim Chanikarn, Lee Thanat, Fah Yongwaree, Toy Pathompong, Tay Tawan, Aye Sarunchana, Joss Way-Ar, Kay Lertsittichai, Namtan Tipnaree, Bright Vachirawit, Kanyawee Songmuang, Win Metawin, and Pat Chayanit, among others, with veteran actors Penpak Sirikul and Sombat Metanee also appearing.²^•⁸ Sombat Metanee, a National Artist in performing arts (film and television), appears in the final episode.⁹

The series was announced on December 1, 2021 as part of GMMTV's 2022 lineup at the "GMMTV 2022 : BORDERLESS" event, one of 20 new series presented there.¹²^•¹³ Its inspiration came from picture books by the cartoonist Sa-ad (Phum Thanisorn Werasakwong), including The Man Who Set Out Following His Own Voice, Poetry of a Lifetime, and Let Love Be Poetry of a Lifetime.⁴

Atchariya Dulyapaibul wrote the lyrics and melody and produced the track in a Pop Soul style with vintage musical gimmicks chosen to connect with the series' theme of old objects. Perawat described the song as being about memories of someone who is gone and about objects bound to people we loved, which bring back both happiness and sadness at once.⁷ A second song, "ระหว่างทาง (Good Time)," was performed by Bright and Thanaerng as part of the series' soundtrack.¹⁴
