The Familiar Wife: A Journey Back in Time and the Price of a Choice

Have you ever looked at your partner – in the midst of fatigue, stress, and endless arguments – and asked yourself: “If I had chosen differently that day… would life be better now?”

When marriage is no longer rosy

Poom, a hard-working bank employee, married Prapye, a spa employee - the girl he used to tutor, the girl he loved with all the sincerity of his youth. But after five years of living together, their sweet love was buried under the pressure of making a living, having children, endless arguments and the feeling of no longer being understood. He was tired. She was exhausted. And both seemed to be lost in the marriage they had dreamed of.

Until one day, Poom accidentally met Nalin - an old friend from university, now a beautiful and gentle cello artist. That meeting awakened in him memories of a youth that had not yet ended. And in a moment of weakness, Poom asked himself: "If only I had chosen her, would life have been different?".

Change the past for the future, or lose yourself?

One day, fate gives Poom an unimaginable opportunity - a coin that can take him back in time. He returns 12 years ago and deliberately avoids the fateful meeting with Prapye. This time, Poom marries Nalin - the daughter of a billionaire - entering a world of luxury and glamour. He has it all: a promotion at work, respected colleagues, a gentle wife and a dream life.

But every dream has a dark side. In that perfect world, Poom gradually realizes that he has become a weak husband, controlled by his wife's family and living under a painted shell of happiness.

Ironically, Prapye - the wife he once wanted to avoid - now became a colleague at the bank. She was single, beautiful, confident and successful, no longer the woman who struggled with food, clothing and children. Poom was shocked to realize that he was the one who made the Prapye of the past become irritable and tired. He began to understand, and then... missed her more than ever.

But it was too late. He had a wife, and Prapye was the one his best friend fell in love with. Between them, love and regret were intertwined in a tangle of emotions that could not be named.

What will Poom do when his heart turns back, but time cannot? Will he continue to live the perfect life he once dreamed of... Or will he dare to trade it all to return to his "familiar wife"?

Remade from the Korean blockbuster “Familiar Wife”, the Thai version of “Familiar Wife” brings a new, intimate and profound perspective on marriage. It is not only a fantasy story, but also a gentle message that in every marriage, no one is perfect, only those who know how to cherish each other can keep each other until the end of the road.

With the emotional combination of New Chaiyapol Julien Poupart and Baifern Anchasa Mongkolsamai, the film touches the hearts of viewers with moments that are both humorous, emotional and just enough to contemplate.

Dear viewers, please watch the movie "Familiar Wife" broadcast at 1:00 p.m. every day on THVL1, starting from November 10, 2025.
