It's really good!
Only 1 episode in and I’m already hooked! Zee and Nunew’s chemistry is just as natural and captivating as ever. The cinematography is stunning, and the costumes? So beautifully detailed and regal, they really added to the whole atmosphere. The entire cast did such an amazing job so far. Nunew’s acting has improved so much! 😍 I’m really looking forward to the rest of the episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
A must watch
After rewatching episode 1 and catching things I missed other first time I’m even more impressed and in love with TNP!The visuals, the scenery, the acting, the start of the story line, crying like an idiot because Zee and NuNew are finally back starring together again.
Please give The Next Prince a watch if you haven’t done so yet you won’t be disappointed. I for one can’t wait to watch the series and get to witness the relationship to grow between the cast.

Episode 1 Review Kudos
The premise is an old one but a great one in terms of romance tropes (is this story adapted from a novel?). Everything looks beautiful - aesthetics are this studios’ strong point, but although I would’ve loved to see a stronger script it was only obvious in very few scenes; the scenes that were the most important were very well executed by the whole team.Where the protagonist discovers his real roots and that the man who raised him is not indeed not his father, were done really well and I cried every time including the parts that made me smile. They did a very good job stimulating our emotions without reducing them via the usually base, hackneyed methods. This is ideal for any BL opening episode to successfully convince the audience to want to know more about the characters’ stories and not simply to support their faves appearing on-screen.
I also like that we have a confident and competent Uke, I celebrate the absence of an abusive-for-no-reason Seme and that the old dynamic between this CP has been turned around. Incidentally this is the reason people are bored with most CPs in Thai BL: because stale Directors are not giving popular actors good scripts, not because they’re tired of seeing the actors together.
I love that the “father” is acting in the character role traditionally given to a mother figure, and that his fathering is characterised primarily by the most important component of love, which is Care. The father does not impose traditional ideas about gender roles or masculinity on the son, which is the only way you can truly love and raise a child with a healthy, non-distorted, self conception - of any sex or sexuality.
For episode 1 I say Bravo to the entire team!

ZeeNuNew are the GEMS of the industry!
It’s just the first episode and it made a very good impression! The actors acting are great especially Zee and NuNew. The emotions and feelings they want to convey are all there. They really prepared for it. They have grown up from their CP era. They are remarkable! The cinematography is exceptional! Kudos to the director, acting coach, all the cast and crew! They really delivered. TNP is really worth the wait! I can’t wait to watch all future episodes. Excellent job everyone!Was this review helpful to you?

Worth watching
Beyond my expectation.The actors, the production, the script, are really good. I can feel that they worked really hard behind the scene for this series as it shows when you watch it even with this first ep. The way that they use the animation to describe the history of Emmaly is really interesting too. You can easily get the background in just a few minutes. Can’t wait for the next episode!

This is so good
The hate towards this series is so forced. So many haters are camping here giving it a low review and they swear they didn't like ep2 when only one ep is out. Successful people got so many failing humans jealous. Even non fan who watched ep1 would agree that 7.6 is a ridiculous rating. The fact that these haters are spending so much time on someone they claim to 'not like' or 'not care about' is insane. No wonder you guys failed every subject during your uni yearsWas this review helpful to you?
It’s a good show to watch
The Next prince is an ongoing show.I watched the first episode, it was so captivating. I would say that it’s a good show to watch and it’s highly recommended.
A different genre in BL that has never been done before👌
For the main leads, I watched their first show 2 years ago and I can boldly say their acting skills has improved a lot especially the prince character, he’s so much better now than the previous series. Also I think they spent quite a lot of money on this project because it’s a lot different from the regular BL show we have around.
They gave their all for this series. Weldon to them 👌

My new favorite drama
I came for Zee-NewNew and I stayed for the plot. And the butler. The chemistry between the leads is outrageously good, the butler is hilarious, the story is wonderful. this is not only the best BL series I’ve seen but overall one of the best shows I’ve watched. I spend all week every week waiting for the new episode. I can’t wait to see more as they’re releasedWas this review helpful to you?

Epic start
Great beginning. The beginning episode had the ability to capture my attention. With fight scene of the king testing the royal guard skills to see if he would be appropriate to retrieve the prince to the overall look of the castle. The scene where the character finds out he life was a lie and everything was out of duty….bravo… amazing . I don’t easily cry but that scene actually got me . A lot was put into the making of this series and it shows. Budget is definitely budgeting. The equipment used is something I only saw in western and k dramas. Thai dramas are stepping their game up. Looking forward to see this story unfold.Was this review helpful to you?
A compelling love story
Watching The Next Prince felt like stepping into a story I’ve always wanted to see come to life. As someone who adores the “damsel in distress” trope—but with a twist—this BL series gave me everything I hoped for and more. It’s not just a romance; it’s a beautifully woven tale of identity, duty, and love that defies boundaries.NuNew Chawarin as Prince Khanin is absolutely captivating. His journey from an ordinary life in London to discovering his royal lineage in the fictional kingdom of Emmaly was both touching and empowering. And then there’s Zee Pruk Panich as Charan, the loyal and emotionally complex bodyguard whose quiet strength is impossible to ignore. Their chemistry is magnetic—every glance and moment between them brims with unspoken longing.
What made this series truly special for me is how it embraced the fantasy of royal life while grounding it in real emotions. The fencing scenes, the stunning palace visuals, and the layered court politics created a rich backdrop for a love story that felt genuine and earned. I was swept away by the tension, the softness, and the slow burn that led to something deeply affirming.
The Next Prince didn’t just entertain me—it made me feel seen. It gave me a love story where protection turned into partnership, and where the heart of a prince belonged not to tradition, but to the one who truly understood him.
