This episode really stayed with me. “The Royal Ball” was everything I hoped for visually — grand, elegant, full of that royal polish — but it was the emotional undercurrents that caught me off guard.NuNew Chawarin continues to impress as Prince Khanin. He barely has to say anything and you still feel exactly what he's going through. That moment when he sees his bodyguard dancing with someone else — it’s subtle, but the jealousy is there. Just a flicker in his expression, but it says so much. And then when he has to dance with him later? Quietly intense. The tension, the unspoken feelings, the way they hold eye contact just a second too long — I was holding my breath.This episode had everything: beauty, restraint, tension. And it lingers. Definitely my favourite so far.

Just finished watching Episode 4 of The Next Prince, and wow, there's a lot to unpack. The tension between the characters is heating up, and this episode took things to a much more intense level.First off, the whole situation with Khanin getting left in the cave was wild. I still can’t decide if Ramil planned it or just panicked, but either way, it was cold. And then Charan showing up to save Khanin? That moment had such a strong emotional pull. You can really feel the bond growing there, it’s subtle, but it hits.There’s also something going on within the Bhuchongphisut family that’s starting to bubble up. Rachata calling out Paytai in front of everyone when he wasn’t even the one responsible felt more like a power move than genuine anger. Overall, this episode kept me hooked. There’s more emotional depth now, and the stakes feel higher. I’m loving how the relationships are developing and all the little clues about what’s really going on. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

A must see. This was next level. Top tier. You can see the effort and money put into making this an excellent product. Zee and Nunew continues to amaze. The more mature, supporting cast are excellent. Just wonderful all around.

Ep 4 - Oh dear, Khanin said those fatal words, ‘I don’t trust anyone but you’. There’s gonna be some more Khanin tears with that one line, I can feel it in my waters.Jimmy is excellent in his portrayal of Ramil as is his push/pull relationship with Ohm’s character Paytai.Background music and scene changes are still clunky unfortunately, I’ve seen this happen with a few other Thai productions and wonder if they are using the same sound editing team, a bit unfortunate given the budget but nothing they can’t fix post-production down the track.Funny/cute/weird moment: Getting Daou was a real bonus, his ‘I Trust You’ with its key change is magically perfect. I’m hoping for some more pop or rock songs next as it is the 4th ballady type song now

⚠️ Warning: Fans might not like this.*Episode 4: Part One*OK, side note, and I can't stress this enough. There is not a universe where you can promote this series as not a musical and not make it look incredibly cheap starting an episode like this. You can either promote it as a musical—or a heavily music-influenced movie/series, where you search specifically for those reasons a singer as MML—or you don't do this at all.They clearly chose a singer for an MML role (not to mention it was written and inspired for/by ZeeNuNew) yet haven’t promoted it as such. Nonetheless, by this opening scene they invited comparisons with another series—Rainbow Prince from the Philippines—which was horrendously executed and resolved, and probably would have been much better scrapping all the... Bollywood drama music (not to offend Bollywood, but not everything looks good made... Bollywood style).I haven’t even finished watching Rainbow Prince and I strongly suspect I might abandon this one too, for similar reasons. Set in a royal setting, which hasn’t even been properly established, this series stumbles with issues in design, basic colour schemes, and CGI inspired—probably (read without any doubts)—by Star Wars (and Harry Potter, but that is another story entirely).Using modern music and a modern actor who is better known as a singer (than as a BL-actor) to open the episode like this is a big mistake unless you make singing/music a priority for the entire series. But they don’t. I know royalty may learn music, and let’s not question on what level that music is—however. In short, it is not off topic completely, but you have to know how to do it tastefully.This... was a huge mistake. There's no mention of this being a musical in the series description. It's labelled action-romance-drama. It’s never going to work with the "bodyguard" genre unless you're skilled enough to blend it seamlessly—which this does not do.Please do not experiment like this in expensive productions. Most high-budget projects in the past two years failed when they tried to add gimmicks that audiences did not care about. These "innovations" dragged otherwise average series below the average line. This passage is, frankly, a no for me, and drags down the episode significantly.Sadly, not only did the additionally glued MV of one MML before the opening scene of Ep 4 drag this down (for this appendix I suggest you cut it out and post it on YouTube as a MV, where it does belong), but the whole music department of the first minutes did. As much as the MV (yes, let’s call it this), the very next scene starts by forcing a romantic vibe that doesn’t fit. This is not a moment of two lovers closing the door, this is not something that a newly added member of a prestigious royal family would share in public. Maybe behind closed doors—but not here. The choice of music was incredibly off from a wider realistic perspective.Trying to bring some novelty is one thing, but please, experiment with cheaper projects before trying these ideas in high-cost productions. Fans can be impressed however much they want, but no one in that royal court would be impressed by those lyrics, which instantly makes this a vulgar choice on the side of characters or poor taste and bad choice from the creator’s side.Normally I would skip a scene like this, but I stayed, in vain hoping it might reveal something meaningful. Spoiler: it didn't. The singer is good, the music itself isn't terrible, but it does not belong here (I am in circles here, why would someone do something like this to their expensive series?).Even worse, the two main leads had no significant interaction in this scene. It's completely useless unless you're purely promoting a song. Don’t do that through the series though.So far, considering all opening scenes in previous episodes, 2/4 stand out as problematic—this one included. You’ve got a serious problem with openings. Work on that.I thought we were out of it and – nope. It gets worse.Even the way the crown is treated in the first 3–4 minutes into the episode... is... just... WOW. I believe you managed in only these first seconds of episode 4 to make your universe insignificant and unimportant and overall, a laughingstock. That’s a treat, really. A talent? Not everyone can make it as fast as you did.Did a screwed abdication happen in here or something? Did we not notice something important... like a crowning happening? I mean even in dramas, not only real life, you would treat a crown better than this. Just search for basic info before you do anything stupid, please. You are treating a piece of royal symbol as an old piece of clothing. There should be some sense of dignity and ritualism in what you portrayed as tidying up the mess standing in my way situation. We definitely missed the crowning, but ok, let’s say it is just a coronet. Even then – really? Seriously? Servant? In a public place? Like this? And you make it worse to make a take on it, zooming in on the mess you did with this? No. No. And no. And the way the scene continues you can’t even use the family card here.What are you doing here?PAAAAIIINNN!Do your check-facts in the first minutes of your series, please. Like your thesis – you should check it out before you hand it out, you know?The choice of the second scene was far more interesting. It showed how Nunew, the actor, can speak multiple languages—but the music genre still didn’t fit in here. It is so genre-conditioned, the second song. Can you really imagine this being an official royal event and there would be this music? And then the lyrics: “Under the stars / Just us two”? Aka romantic music playing for purposes of an official royal event... where all of these strangers, who never danced together... and everyone is after the heirs of the crown... they play this type of music... in such settings, huh...? What does not fit here? Really? No self-reflection of what you are doing? Instrumental music would work here so much better because you don’t have to deal with embarrassing lyrics.But this romantic music— all the royal projects since 2000 till now tried to experiment with inserting modern music into projects dealing with courts – I hate it, it shows poor taste, in vain trying to romanticize all these... but why? You can hide it and cover it – we already know what type of genre you are doing, we already know what genre we are watching, however it shouldn’t be in our noses. It shouldn’t scream romance at all really. If you want the romance to work, show the least. And be innovative, just don’t spoil it with poorly chosen... music, please.If this was inserted after the actors had built some character relevance, then maybe. I couldn't really complain about what type of music plays in their heads, if you decide to show us, but like this? It’s offensive to the viewers.You're seriously saying the royal court invited a singer to perform a romantic song... on the stairs... during a formal event? Just because two guys are meant to end up together later?You either already pushed them together, or plan to—and you're laying the foundation in a setting that's utterly improbable.Pushing romance that hasn’t even started yet feels disingenuous, and frankly, offensive.Audiences may cheer at first, but once they realize they were fed nonsense, they’ll turn on you.Now, some praise:+ choreography+ some examples of better-used CGI (anything that does not substitute TV or does not wreak havoc in quality of crests designs really)+ using technology to hint at a growing bond between Kanin and Charan through shared digital space? It’s a bit cheap, but forgivable. Still, if you want to show a “cold, distant” character warming up, you skipped several crucial steps here. Let’s put it under positives for now though.+ portrayed jealousy + “plot twist” + stealing of a dancing partner (damn the consequences) done well- Just a side (megative) note: So many writers and movie creators and series creators tend to do the comic relief at all costs or try to do an embarrassing situation out of something where you could actually stop there and not continue in this vein. Because if you actually stopped at the right place, you didn't have to make your work smaller by abusing and overusing this trope. There had to be no damsel in distress situation here just because you have one young nice guy as MML. There didn’t have to be the “Zee’s character is going to save the day and protect the weaker/prince/future king” situation. There was zero necessity for you to do the tripping stuff. If you still decide to have it in there, it should have a purpose (beside the one or two obvious ones). If it looked like it looked like before the tripping, then you can comfortably let it land smoothly. Stop dancing, split ways and then the storm of other people making them accountable for what they did on the dancefloor, ranting about how inappropriate it was could still happen. It would be enough. It would still be a perfect gossip material, photographers did notice, did take pictures even before, there was a zero purpose for letting the MML fall.PLEASE, SOMEONE: do serious situations. They do exist. I SWEAR, I PROMISE.*Episode 4: Part Two* Coming Soonaprox ?/10current avr: 5/10

IMMEDIATE FUCKING ZERO WITH THIS GODDAMN SINGING. Obsessed with the ballroom dancing scene with all the glances. A lot happened. Holy shit. Took us forever because we were debunking everything. Okay so Ramil was just fucking with Kanin and didnt want to hurt him and then he saw that his man was back hence why he was like I didnt know you were back because he knew that his man was gonna get in trouble. Ramil gets abused and so does his man and I think that's why they find solace in each other. So excited for them and the many other couples to come. 9/10 Okay bye!okay so i dont hate the signing it just felt random but fuck it we ball. the 4th couple came in yuhhh and prince calvin bad as hell. now why tf is the green off brand slytherin ass dad beating the lover when he wasn’t even there. also his child is terrified of him i hate abusive parents ughh. the grandfather was never on board with feeding into the zee and new publicity stunt but my fav pookie wookie the butler represented us all. not taking off the wireless mic was a devious plot and can’t wait for the rest ! 7.8/10 bc the abuse was rlly sad smh

I'm so impressed of how well written and direct this episode is. The drama and tension was insane. The acting of JimmyOhm here is crazy. Jimmy is doing such a great job with Ramil. This episode shows a little bit more about who he actually is, a brat who wants to win but is scared and manipulated by his own father, showing his care for Paytai and rejecting his decisions.Nunew's dedication for learning different languages and playing the piano just for this episode wow, he really did a good job.And finally, the picture here is so pretty, the different scenes specially in the mountain is so pretty, I love it.

Episode 4 is a visual and emotional delight that takes the series to new heights. The ballroom scene is absolutely mesmerizing—like a moment lifted from a fairy tale, with dazzling visuals and elegant choreography that captures the magic of royal grandeur. Charan and Khanin’s budding romance adds a tender, heartwarming layer to the narrative, filled with sweet glances and genuine chemistry.The episode also delves into deeper themes—The King's authoritative presence is felt in every scene, as he maneuvers with quiet power. Meanwhile, Prince Ramil struggles under the growing pressure to prove his worth, bringing complexity and tension to his arc. Chakri’s unwavering support for Prince Khanin continues to shine, and their dynamic remains one of the show’s emotional cores—balanced, loyal, and beautifully portrayed.The performances are uniformly excellent; every actor delivers with sincerity and skill, embodying their roles effortlessly. The cinematography is stunning, with breathtaking backgrounds and meticulous detail that bring the world to life. The music complements every scene perfectly, enhancing both emotional and dramatic moments. The rich history and mythology of each clan are seamlessly woven into the plot, adding depth without overwhelming the story.Episode 4 is not just a continuation—it’s a standout chapter that blends romance, politics, loyalty, and fantasy in a beautifully crafted package.

Episode 4 and I am absolutely not okay ...It’s royal ball time—music? stunning. setting? flawless. Khanin casually flexing 6(?) languages, playing piano AND singing?? In a full-on coronation outfit with crown and cape?? A little much… but honestly, who am I to judge royalty. But then the drama: Khanin gets jealous when Charan dances with someone else (he was asked and didn`t activly search for a partner... but he also didn’t say no) so what does Khanin do? He straight-up swaps partners mid-dance. Iconic chaos.Khanin barely has time to breathe before things escalate again: a meeting with the House of Bhuchongpisut, an adventure with Ramil (who casually abandons him in a cave??), and then Charan has to come save him (again).And just when you think it can’t get darker… Prince Rachata (Ramil’s dad) punishes both Ramil and his companion Paytai with a riding crop? Yes. That happened. Psycho behavior. Meanwhile, Grandpa King is watching all this from the shadows like the royal puppet master he is—and he does not like how close Khanin and Charan are getting. So what does he do? Sends Charan back to the arts academy. Classic. At this point, the only character I trust is Chakri—the butler. He’s out here doing his best for Khanin...All in all each episonde gets better! The acting from everyone is top form!
