When Light Fades: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Early dawn, October 6, 1976. Amidst the roaring gunfire and explosions echoing across the university campus, Rawin and his friends lost everything in the blink of an eye. Left with no choice, he stepped onto a path of no return. Rawin chose to abandon his comfortable life and disregard his mother's desperate pleas, venturing deep into the dense jungle toward a land of shared ideology with his comrades. Within the dark and perilous wilderness, fate brought him face-to-face with Comrade Yue, a calm and cold-hearted young fighter who saved Rawin's life from a deadly animal trap just in the nick of time. Surrounded by exhausting hardships and the heavy weight of their ideals, an unspoken feeling quietly began to form between them—like a faint starlight still shining through the darkest night. And perhaps... on the road to "Baan Saeng Dao." This is the beginning of a journey that is not just a battle for their ideals, but a story of a deep bond slowly forging under the starlight.
