### Plot

Jom is a young architect placed in charge of the design and renovation of an old house in Chiang Mai. During the project he begins having strange, frequent dreams about himself and a mysterious man from the past, and his heartbreak deepens when his boyfriend decides to end their relationship to marry.<sup>[2](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdlp3i0mezwumq0lzhs41v)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4409/i-feel-you-linger-in-the-air-2023)</sup> In a moment of distress he drives recklessly, crashes, and plunges into the Ping River.<sup>[2](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdlp3i0mezwumq0lzhs41v)</sup>

When Jom emerges from the water he finds himself in 1927, the year พ.ศ. 2470 in the Thai calendar. There he meets the man from his dreams, Khun Yai, the middle son of Luang Thepniti, owner of the Plathip Mansion, the very house Jom had been renovating. Jom must adapt to an unfamiliar environment and way of life while serving in the household, and he and Khun Yai feel deeply connected despite never having met before.<sup>[2](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdlp3i0mezwumq0lzhs41v)</sup> In an era when society does not easily accept same-sex relationships, their love and desire grow nonetheless, and the story follows the bond they form across the constraints of the time.<sup>[2](https://www.thaicontentdb.com/en/dramas/cmesdlp3i0mezwumq0lzhs41v)</sup>

## Significance as a period BL

The series is identified in Thai entertainment coverage as the country's first period boys' love series, adapting a popular Y novel (Japanese-derived boys' love romance novel genre) into a historical setting with locations and atmosphere of old Siam.<sup>[3](https://mgronline.com/entertainment/detail/9650000013194)</sup> Commentary on the adaptation noted that it moved beyond the school and university settings common in the genre, and credited the producers with taking a risk in bringing a well-loved novel to the screen in a new register.<sup>[7](https://bestreview.asia/tv/i-feel-you-linger-in-the-air/)</sup> The production also presented the story as the first BL series with a storyline drawing on the history of Thailand.<sup>[5](https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4409/i-feel-you-linger-in-the-air-2023)</sup>
