The Identity of Tankhun in Melody of Secrets Episode 3
Melody of Secrets episode 3 picks up from the previous episode where Tan kissed Pleng. The scene shifts to Tan opening his eyes while lying on the bed. It turns out Tan became dizzy after eating cassava. He explains that uncooked cassava is toxic, which may be the reason he lost consciousness.
In the present, Pleng asks Tan to wash up before his grandmother arrives. Tan then asks if he is Pleng’s secret now. Pleng replies, “I’d rather you be my truth. The truth that no one can take away from me.”
Pleng receives a call from Muenmile. Muen tells him that if he is with Tan, he needs to kick him out. The person Pleng is with is not Tankhun—it is Thunphob, Tankhun’s younger brother. This explains why Pleng cannot recognize him.
After the call, Pleng tries to prove what Muen told him. He remembers from the diary that Tan has a mild nut allergy and will throw up if he eats nuts. To test this, Pleng gives Tan a cookie with nuts.
At first, Tan shows no reaction. However, after a few seconds, he starts throwing up, making Pleng excited because it means Tan might be the real Tankhun. Elsewhere, Pleng lets Tan see his comatose mother and begins opening up to him.
Pleng Admits That He Likes Tankhun
During their conversation, Pleng mentions that whenever he goes clubbing, his mother always joins him. Because of this, it has been a long time since he last went to a club. Tan suggests they go clubbing in their room instead.
The two dance as if they are in an actual club, laughing, jumping, and enjoying the music. After a while, they lie down on the bed. Pleng says that his heart is beating very fast.
He looks at Tan and says that even if he cannot remember what happened 10 years ago, he can still create new memories. Pleng admits that he thinks he likes Tan and lies on his chest.
Elsewhere, Muenmile talks to Pleng again about Tan’s identity. Pleng insists that Tan is the real one because of the diary. However, Muen argues that the evidence suggests otherwise. He shows Pleng Jen’s profile—Tankhun’s sister. Muen says that if Pleng still does not believe him, he needs to find the truth himself.

The Case Continues in Melody of Secrets Episode 3
Inspector Dao and Tankhun continue working on the case. So far, the only connection they have found is that both victims worked for the Thayadon family. One worked for Botpleng’s mother, while the other worked for Pleng’s father.
Tan explains that the killer targeted people connected to the Thayadon family. He lists four possible motives: revenge, attention, stripping the victims of dignity and worth, or fame.
Dao says she will focus on revenge and assign someone to investigate it. When Pleng’s name comes up, Dao asks Tan if he believes it is just a coincidence that Pleng discovered the body.
Dao asks Tan if he can subtly question Pleng. However, Tan says it would be useless because Pleng lost his memories. The scene then shifts to Tan studying the floor filled with pictures and notes—including Pleng’s.
Pleng Goes to Dao
Elsewhere in Melody of Secrets episode 3, Pleng visits the police station to see Dao. He apologizes for his behavior during their last encounter. However, he also goes there to ask about Tankhun.
The scene shifts to Dao and Pleng eating at a cafeteria. Dao asks Pleng why he became a journalist. Was it because he enjoyed it? Pleng answers that it goes beyond enjoyment—he felt compelled to become a journalist to clear his father’s name.
Their conversation turns to Tankhun. Pleng asks how Tankhun became involved in the case after finding the body. Dao tells him only that Tankhun happened to be at the right place at the right time.
As Pleng crosses the road, a motorcycle nearly hits him. Fortunately, Dao arrives in time to pull him away. Dao later calls Nim and asks her to investigate Pleng further. While reviewing CCTV footage, Dao notices that it is the same motorcycle that attacked Pleng before.

Pleng Learns the Truth About Tankhun
Pleng wakes up without Tan beside him. He decides to look for evidence supporting Muenmile’s claim that Tan is not the real Tankhun. Pleng finds a locked room and forces it open.
Inside, he discovers a box containing a paper with Tankhun’s name written on it. He also finds a watch engraved with Thunphob’s name.
Tan arrives, and Pleng immediately confronts him, saying, “I couldn’t remember you because you’re not Tankhun. You’re Thunphob, right?” Tan insists that he is Tankhun, causing Pleng to raise his voice.
Jen then arrives with Muenmile. Muen insists it is Thunphob, while Jen claims it is Tankhun. Jen urges Tan to finally tell Pleng the truth.
It is revealed that Tankhun is real—but he was not Pleng’s lover. Thunphob, Tankhun’s younger brother who has already passed away, was Pleng’s true lover. Jen explains that Pleng and Thunphob were each other’s first love. Tan admits that Thunphob’s only mistake was introducing himself to Pleng using Tankhun’s name.
Melody of Secrets episode 3 ends with Pleng visiting Thunphob’s grave. He tells Tan that he is not angry because Tan lied—but because Tan made him fall for him.
