55:15 Never Too Late, though sometimes it is

I've just watched an excellent Thai series called 55:15 Never Too Late. It's on GMMTV's official youtube channel and well worth some time.

The premise is that five people who've turned 55 get their 55+ ID cards photocopied and then all wake up one morning as their 15 year old selves.
Except it's still the current year so they have to learn how to be modern teenagers, navigate smart phones and everything else that's changed in 40 years. The episodes (2-6) where their individual, but sometimes interlinked, stories are set up are my favourites. There is some stellar writing, directing, editing and acting in this.

It also has the best roles for women, younger and older, that I've seen in Thai series*. There's some great humour and well, not going to spoil any of it. Even though the chances of anyone reading this are functionally zero.
*At the time of writing. They're still amongst the best I've seen.

If anyone is though, I can't recommend it highly enough. These are characters you will care about and their stories are very skillfully told.

Which makes some things cut deep. Will think out loud about them under a cut lest they show up in search for a stranger.
