Even when creating fictional stories, there remains a responsibility to portray real-world cultures with accuracy, sensitivity & respect.

Myanmar viewers question costumes in Thai series ‘Scarlet Heart Thailand’
The upcoming Thai historical fantasy series Scarlet Heart Thailand has sparked online debate after some Myanmar viewers said costumes and accessories featured in its teaser resemble those worn at the Myanmar royal court, particularly during the Konbaung dynasty.
Produced by GMMTV, the series stars Win Metawin, Tu Tontawan, Nanon Korapat, Tay Tawan, Fourth Nattawat, Phuwin Tangsakyuen, Perth Tanapon and Force Jiratchapong.
Adapted from the popular Chinese novel Bu Bu Jing Xin, the Thai version follows a modern woman who travels back in time and finds herself in the body of Fong Nuan, a woman from the fictional city of Wang Nam Lin. She becomes entangled in a struggle for power among seven princes, alongside a story of love and fate. Some Myanmar viewers have called on the production team to explain the historical and cultural references behind the costumes and accessories. An online petition campaign was launched on 20 October, urging the company to verify its historical research, clarify the sources of its designs and provide appropriate cultural credit.
The claims and demands have so far come from some viewers, and further clarification and historical evidence from the production team are awaited.

🤝🏻 ကျွန်တော်တို့က ထိုင်းလူမျိုးတွေနဲ့ ပဋိပက္ခဖြစ်ချင်တာ မဟုတ်ပါဘူး။ GMMTV ဆီက ရှင်းလင်းချက်နဲ့ တာဝန်ယူမှုကိုပဲ တောင်းဆိုနေတာပါ။ အမုန်းတရားမဟုတ်ဘဲ အပြန်အလှန်လေးစားမှုနဲ့အတူ တောင်းဆိုကြရအောင်နော်။ 🤍
🤝🏻We are not here to create conflict with Thai people. We are simply asking GMMTV for clarification and accountability. Let’s speak up with respect, not hate. 🤍
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 🤍🇲🇲

Read the caption and watch the video to see how educated Thai people respectfully presented Myanmar’s culture, traditions, and heritage. There is a lot you can learn from their thoughtful approach and genuine cultural appreciation. Learn from them and show the same respect for your neighboring countries and their cultures.

Calling a series a fantasy drama does not automatically make cultural appropriation concerns irrelevant or remove the responsibility to represent cultural influences respectfully. @GMMTV@ScarletHeartTH@Giggoo_

Just as I love wearing Myanmar traditional attire and value my country’s cultural heritage, shouldn’t every country also value, preserve, protect, and respect its own cultural heritage? 🇲🇲
