Highly recommend ✅✅✅
Finally, the most anticipated Thai BL series has entered the mainstream. I truly love everything they've done with this series, from its high-class cinematography, original scores, to the set and costume designs. You can really tell that it was meticulously planned from day one. The wait was definitely worth it.As someone who's a huge fan of fictional and royal-themed stories, I will definitely recommend this to my friends to watch. As for the actors, Zee Pruk Panich and NuNew Chawarin Perdpiriyawong really embodied their characters from just Episode 1.
You can clearly see that their acting skills have leveled up—you can really feel the emotion of a royal bodyguard in Zee's performance, and of course, NuNew perfectly captures that commoner-to-prince vibe. But still, only Episode 1 is out so far, and I’m already so excited for the upcoming episodes. ⚔️👑🏹🤺

Set in the fictional kingdom of Emmaly, the story follows Khanin Assavadevathin (NuNew), a carefree young man raised as a commoner, unaware of his royal lineage. His life takes a dramatic turn when Charan Phithakthewa (Zee), a dedicated royal bodyguard, arrives to escort him back to the palace. Khanin's return is mandated by the king, who has decreed that the royal heirs must participate in a fencing competition to determine the next monarch .
The episode excels in its production design, presenting a world rich in grandeur and tradition. The costumes are elaborate, and the set designs transport viewers into a realm of royalty and intrigue. The fencing tournament, a pivotal element of the plot, is introduced with high stakes, setting the stage for intense competition and personal growth.
At the heart of the episode is the developing relationship between Khanin and Charan. Their interactions are charged with tension and unspoken emotions, hinting at a deepening bond that transcends their official roles. The episode concludes with a poignant moment where Khanin paints Charan's portrait, symbolizing the blurring lines between duty and desire .
In summary, the pilot episode of *The Next Prince* sets a high standard for the series, offering a rich tapestry of romance, drama, and royal intrigue. With its strong performances, particularly from Zee and NuNew, and a compelling narrative, the show promises to be a standout in the BL genre.

The Next Prince” — A Royal Masterpiece in the Making!
Just watched the first episode of The Next Prince and I’m absolutely blown away! The chemistry between Zee and NuNew is electric as always, but this time they’ve truly taken it to another level. Their acting is so natural, emotional, and captivating — you can see how much they’ve grown as artists. Every scene is full of depth and detail, and the storyline already has me hooked. These two are not just actors, they’re storytellers. Can’t wait for the next episode!Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing cinematography, interesting storyline and great acting
Started of super strong with clear storyline and gave the characters some time to introduce themselves and show their backgrounds. After 1 episode you can already tell that this whole series will be special in terms of the story, film locations, acting and fight/sport scenes. I cannot wait for the rest of the show.Was this review helpful to you?

High Quality Series with a lot of Intellect and Heart
Not your ordinary BL series! It dezerves mainstream attention with how big and excellent this series is👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌From the opening scene, one can already tell that it is a big production with a high quality. Every aspect looks sophisticated yet also every production aspect has meaning to the story-- from OST, to props like the paintings, to the clothes and of course the acting of Zee and NuNew. Everything came together well to created a magical world, which could be the first of its kind. Thr Next Prince is truly awesome and so far, so much more worth the three year wait🎉👍🙌👌

Beautifully Shot, But Lacking Spark
I’d give the first episode a solid 7 out of 10. Visually, it’s undeniably stunning—the cinematography is top-tier, the picture is gorgeous, and the soundtrack is on point. Even the acting has shown some improvement. While Zee still delivers everything with one expression and NuNew's performance occasionally feels like a school play, there's noticeable progress compared to their previous work.That said, the plot just didn’t land for me. The fight scenes felt like they were lifted straight from a Bollywood parody, and the product placement was far too blatant. There are definitely subtler, more elegant ways to integrate branding into storytelling.
In terms of cinematography and atmosphere, it reminded me a bit of 4 Minutes—but without the same intrigue. 4 Minutes hooked you from the start; you’d rewatch it to catch hidden details and eagerly anticipate the next episode. This one felt flat in comparison. The pacing was off, and many scenes felt unnecessary. I found myself scrolling on my phone for 15 minutes and didn’t feel like I missed anything. The party scene, kiss, and friend interactions all felt especially out of place or poorly timed.
The dynamic between the leads also strongly echoes Cutie Pie. Zee once again plays the emotionally distant older character, while NuNew takes on the spoiled, sassy role. I’d love to see both actors step out of these typecast roles and take on something more refreshing and challenging.
Still, credit where it’s due—the production quality is a huge plus.
I genuinely hope Thailand continues to invest in high-quality, ambitious projects like this. There’s a lot of potential here, even if this episode didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

Perfect
It's a really good drama. This is just the first episode. It's full of flavor. It has action, love, and drama. I'm waiting to watch the next episode. I really want to know how the story will continue. Will the characters be able to escape the hunt? Will Kanin be able to return to Emmaly safely? Will the two of them have to fight again?

THE PRINCE'S ROYAL BODYGUARD
Loved the Actors, the chemistry , visual s, the sassy prince and his straight forward cold looking bodyguard .The costumes and cinematography were superb plus the introduction summarises what was needed for the first episode giving the perfect story line .
So far I have nothing to hate about the series because the acting was high class deserving of Royalty.
The action scenes were excellent and the emotional parts were really well-done. I could feel that I was inside the series while watching it on screen and I didn't want it to end.
Highly recommend 10/10
