so very close to being perfect
is this (for me subjectively) the best series of all time? sadly, no, but it's still a masterpiece and it deserves the hype.anyone can see from just one episode how much care and dedication has been put into this series.
- the cast fits their roles very well and everyone did a great job acting (you cannot seriously look me in the eyes and tell me anything bad about the acting let's be serious)
- the cinematography and soundtrack are gorgeous, actually the best i've seen i think
- the story is well crafted and adapted, especially the "villain" and the past lives, and despite the quite lengthy episodes i've never felt bored
now, i couldn't give it a maximum rating because:
- at times i felt that the pace was a bit off and there were a few plot points and arcs that i didn't particularly enjoy (such as the jealousy scenes leading up to peem and khem confessing)
- i'm so sorry but i didn't care about charn and jet like... almost at all. i didn't dislike them and i loved their past life and rooted for them but not in the present. i have nothing against the authors either, i guess it's just a matter of taste?
i'm really hoping for special episodes and bonus scenes, i need to see more of peemkhem's married life

THE BEST SUPERNATURAL BL SERIES
Domundi has done its best in delivering the story. The cast, the set, the lighting, vfx, and everything else was so pure and magical in its own way. This is a must watch series. I just fell in love with it from episode 1 itself.The storyline is captivating and new in its essence. The suspense is maintained throughout all the episodes making us feel more eager to watch the next plot.

PHARAN, my buoy
How do you review Khemjira when your main memories are protective talismans, village rituals, terrifying ghosts, and Khem and Pharan staring at each other like fate personally signed their relationship contract?This series really looked at the supernatural romance genre and said, "What if we added generational curses, Thai spirituality, shamanism, reincarnation, emotional devastation, and enough tension to wake the dead?"
Khem was born into a family where every son is destined to die before reaching adulthood.
His mother gave him the name Khemjira — "forever safe" — in the hope that fate could somehow be tricked.
Fate, unfortunately, had other plans.
Then came Pharan.
The young shaman who knew far more than he was willing to say.
The man who looked at Khem like he was simultaneously his greatest responsibility and his greatest weakness.
The man who apparently missed the memo about not falling in love with people you're trying to save.
Namping brought so much warmth, fear, and vulnerability to Khem that it was impossible not to root for him.
And Keng as Pharan?
The king of emotional repression.
The emperor of silent suffering.
The CEO of carrying the weight of destiny on his shoulders while pretending everything is fine.
Watching their relationship develop against the backdrop of curses, spirits, and ancient promises gave us one of the most unique romances in Thai BL this year.
Then there were Jet, Chan, and the rest of the gang, bringing moments of warmth and humor to a story that otherwise seemed determined to keep us emotionally unstable.
And can we talk about the people behind the camera?
Directors Panuwat Inthawat, Kittipat Champa, and Patarapon To-oun didn't simply make a horror BL.
They created an atmosphere.
The rituals felt authentic.
The supernatural elements felt unsettling.
The rural setting felt alive.
And the blend of horror, romance, and Thai spiritual traditions made the series stand out in a genre that rarely explores these themes so deeply.
The cinematography deserves special praise.
The candlelight.
The temples.
The forests.
The shadows lurking just outside the frame.
Every episode felt like a ghost story being told around a fire late at night.
And the soundtrack?
An accessory to emotional crimes.
Absolutely guilty.
Khemjira wasn't simply a love story.
It was a story about destiny.
About family.
About the things we inherit from those who came before us.
And about the people who choose to stand beside us even when fate itself says they shouldn't.
This wasn't sunshine × grumpy.
This wasn't enemies-to-lovers.
This was cursed boy × shaman who would challenge destiny itself to keep him alive.
10/10.
Would absolutely light the incense, wear the protective amulet, and watch these two fight fate and ghosts all over again.

A possible sign of what's to come
One can certainly understand the wide praise given to Khemjira. Being lauded as one of the most important BLs of 2025, it is certainly a production worth seeing.And yet, it possesses irritating flaws. Some writing choices leave much to be desired, bordering on the absurd: for instance, why is Khem so very often alone despite the seriousness of his situation. Jet and Chan are supposed to be watching over him, but is often left unattended. Aspects like this make the series poorer.
Green, who plays Ramphueng, gives a particularly powerful interpretation of her character. So does Pung as Yos. The series gains strenght from its supperb supporting cast. The four main actors try their best, and yet one could wonder what they'd do if they had more experience under their belts.
One is left scratching one's head over the introduction of Khachen. A missed opportunity, for this character is not in any way instrumental to the plot; contrary, for instance, to the monk introduced also later in the plot, who proves essential to the resolution. Khachen's introduction should have been 2 to 3 episodes earlier, allowing for further delving into Master's past.
The series could have gained more from going deeper into the backgrounds of the characters. As such, Khem is left bordering the dangerous territory of damsel in distress and Master the role of the emotionally distant, all-powerful knight in shining armor.
Khemjira as a series does try to stray away from the common tropes of Thai BLs. Certain innovations in storytelling, the architecture of its filming, certain acting choices, do provide the outlet for it. And yet, sometimes it tends to go back to known territory. Old habits tend to die hard.
As such, I tend to see Khemjira as a work signaling a wider transition in the Thai BL industry: from somewhat poor BLs to those who encompass complexity. It is a work worth seeing, perhaps mostly for providing the tone for richer productions in the future.

Great concept and acting, plot falls off at the end but still watchable
Well-acted, great setting, and great concept. I ate this up until episode 9, where the plot fell off for me. Overall the climax / final confrontation wasn't as scary as I wanted and the resolution of the Rampheung story felt forced, but I loved the house and the village and the cast. The past life aspect was great. Rewatch value is high because I haven't seen anything that has the same look or feel, and because the performances of the main leads are so subtle that there's a lot to notice on rewatchWas this review helpful to you?
New Personal Favorite
I’m a bit too close to this show emotionally to pick it apart at the moment, especially given that it just ended yesterday, but I will say this. My experience of watching this show has reminded me of a time when I was a kid, I think elementary school aged. I was home from school because I was sick. I was on the final book in a series I was reading and really loving. I specifically remember sitting on my old couch in my childhood home, so engrossed in the end of this story that I forgot how bad I was feeling. And then I finished it, and I cried so hard that I scared my mom. I was just so sad that it was over. I haven’t had an experience like that in years (I’m in my 30s now), but I had that experience with this show. Absolutely 100% one of the best shows I have ever watched, and I’m devastated that it’s over.Was this review helpful to you?
THE BEST BL SERIES RELEASED IN 2025
I didn't expect this series to be so good.Everything from the story and productions to the music and casting was literally perfect.
It's also crazy that this was KengNamping's and TleFirstone's first series together. They all did a REALLY good job in acting and setting the mood for each character.
This series has many good qualities. It's interesting with a good and solid plot. The soundtrack sets the mood perfectly.
It has many good and interesting characters with solid backstories.
It's just really easy and interesting to watch.
I would totally rewatch this.

One of the best paranormal BLs I’ve ever watched!
Khemjira was executed in the best way possible.The suspense, the gore, the paranormal elements, and the romance, along with the gradual revelation of the background plot, were all very well done. I was genuinely excited to see this drama adapted, and it did not disappoint!
While the episodes are on the longer side – some even stretching beyond 2 hours – I believe this length was a gift for the story's development. There’s such a rich tapestry of Thai lore and customs that deserved thoughtful exploration, which shorter 45-minute episodes simply couldn't provide. The story itself is substantial and never feels like filler content, and the introduction of backstory and the connections between characters were seamlessly woven together with smooth transitions.
Without a doubt, the actors shone brightly throughout the drama. Keng and Namping were absolutely adorable together, and the development of their relationship felt natural rather than forced. And I can't even express how much joy Tle and FirstOne brought to the screen; their performances always made me smile!
I also appreciated the introduction of Jin and Da, and their connection to Jet and Chan. This beautifully showcased love in all its forms – not only through BL and GL narratives but also by portraying a love that transcends societal barriers. Love simply exists, and that was wonderfully represented!
Green (Ramphueng) and Janis (Khemmika) also delivered outstanding performances. Their expressions and overall acting were truly top tier, conveying a deep, tragic, emotional connection between their characters in both past and present. Their storyline was deeply moving. Ramphueng moved me to tears at the end, and I found myself sympathizing with her, feeling gratified that she finally got her chance at revenge.
Overall, this drama left me with a whirlwind of emotions. The conclusion elevated my experience, wrapping up the story on a wonderfully happy note. After all the challenges the characters faced, it felt like the perfect reward. I absolutely loved every moment of it!

A BL So Good I Forgot to Blink ?✨
DOMUNDI finally upped their game!! 🔥Okay, listen... I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this BL 😅 Even after hearing so many good things about it, I still went in with zero expectations. But once I started watching… OMG 😭 I was completely MESMERIZED!! The cinematography?? UNREAL. Every episode is over an hour long, and I actually watched it in 1x speed 😭 (which NEVER happens because I usually go 2x for BLs). That alone says A LOT — I was hooked from the very first second!! 💥
The OSTs and all the songs?? 🔥🔥 Chef’s kiss! Especially the main theme — absolute perfection 🎶
And the acting... OMGGG everyone acted like RENT WAS DUE 😭👏 They ATE every scene!
Keng, my man 😩💗 just WOW. His voice?? So addictive. His acting?? Perfection. His visuals?? Don’t even get me started 😮💨
Namping was GOD-TIER!! The subtle emotions, the expressions, the intensity — everything was spot on 💫
The second couple was amazing too! Honestly, the whole cast delivered. Massive shoutout to the casting team because they did not miss once! 🙌 And those twins??? They were SOOOOO cute 🥹💖
The cinematography, the plot, the twists, the acting, the OSTs — everything was just NEXT LEVEL. No BL can top this one for me, seriously. It had the story, the depth, the emotions, the acting — everything I’ve been craving 😭💕
And the NC scenes... let me just say 👀🔥 They proved you don’t need to go all the way for it to be sensual and meaningful. It was pure, emotional, and so beautifully done. I don’t usually mention NC scenes, but this time I HAVE TO — they nailed it! 😭💞
This show, this cast, this whole production team — they all deserve endless appreciation for giving us such a high-quality BL masterpiece 💎👏 It deserves all the recognition and more!!
If you haven’t watched it yet, PLEASEEEE trust me and just go for it 😭🙌 I know it’s labelled as horror and I usually avoid horror too 😅 but this one??? 100% worth it.
JUST WATCH IT!! You’ll thank me later 😭💖✨

A CAST OF PRETTY BOYS WITH FINALLY A GOOD PLOT
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SERIES LIKE A CLOWN 🤡 because I genuinely thought we were about to get some erotic horror ritual-core nonsense. Like… demons, sex magic, chanting and thrusting in the same breath. DAYUMMMMM was I wrong??? Not really… but also YES??? My expectations were in hell and this show said “sit down.”First of all. FIRST. OF. ALL.
KENG.
Why is this man built like a luxury mannequin that came to life and chose violence. His face is ILLEGAL. The visuals are so sharp I feel like I need a license to look at him. Every time he opens his mouth, I feel something in my stomach. Butterflies? Anxiety? Ovulation? I don’t know. Science needs to study this. And DMD??? Oh they know what they’re doing with pairings. So DO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NAMPING AND KENG?
HELL NAWWWW.
Let’s unwrap this series the way Keng unwraps people with his eyes. Slowly. Intentionally. Threateningly.
____________________________________________________
a) Plot
DARLINGGGGG THE TRAILER CLICKBAITED ME A LITTLE BIT. I thought they had to smash to break a curse. I really sat there thinking, “So they need to do the deed to exorcise the ghost?” LMAOOOOO my brain needs holy water. But honestly? What we got was actually better.
The story revolves around Khem, our fragile ghost-magnet princess, who can see spirits and is basically a walking haunted house. Ghosts love him. They obsess over him. They stalk him. He is the IT BOY of the spirit world. And unfortunately, one particular ghost, Ramphueng, has karmic beef with him from a past life. Sis said, “You wronged me before, now I will haunt you until your bloodline ends.” Petty? Yes. Dedicated? Also yes.
Apparently, Khem is destined to die before 21 because this ghost is not playing around. So his bestie Jet, MVP behavior, goes “Let’s see my master.” Enter Peem. The master. The shaman. The man. The face card. The voice that could command both spirits and me. Khem goes to get help and instead catches feelings. Because of course he does. Imagine trying not to fall in love with a man who chants mantras while looking like that. Impossible.
The pacing? Slow burn but not boring. Every episode has a peak moment that makes you sit up like “oh???” The angst? DELICIOUS. The plot twists? GURL. I had to PAUSE. My jaw dropped so hard I could’ve inhaled a mosquito. Episodes 10 to 12 went DARK dark. I was watching at night like, “Why am I doing this to myself? I have work tomorrow.” But miss girl also needs to justify that IQIYI subscription.
The opening scenes were actually scary. I had to fast forward because I live alone and I value my sleep.
And yes, I said it. This can compete with Triage.
Now… the last episode? A little cringe. I’m sorry. I love you but I cringed. Still forgivable though.
____________________________________________________
b) Characters
- Khemjira played by Namping Napatsakorn
He is PRETTY. Like delicate pretty. He gives Gun from GMMTV vibes in certain angles. But sometimes… his face goes blank. The tears are there but I need MESS. I need snot. I need ugly crying. Instead he’s crying like he’s scared to mess up his skincare routine. And why is he fixing his hair mid emotional breakdown. Sir. Your life is in danger. Your hairline will survive. Even during intimate scenes I’m like “LET IT BE MESSY.” The man is about to risk his life and his hair still has better discipline than me.
Character-wise, Khem is VERY fragile. Which fits the story but sometimes I’m like “BABY STAND UP.” The show is literally named after you. I get the trauma. I get the fear. But sometimes I needed him to stop spiraling and let Peem handle business. Episode 11 almost had him crossing that holy thread and Monk Kasem had to drag him back spiritually and emotionally. Thank you monk sir because what was that behavior.
Cute. Soft. But not my favorite personality.
- Peem played by Keng Harit
OOOOOFFFFFF. This man is fine. His voice??? Deep. Calm. Controlled. I swear he acts with his voice alone. When he chants mantras I’m convinced he’s actually summoning something. Maybe my downfall. His acting feels so natural that I refuse to believe this is his first rodeo. He doesn’t overdo it. He doesn’t underdo it. He just IS Peem. Strong foundation. Stoic at first, heart of stone energy, then slowly softens for Khem. Watching him fall in love was so satisfying because he fought it. He had principles. He had promises to keep to his grandpapi. He had morals. And yet… feelings won.
Character development done RIGHT. Not dramatic personality transplant. Just subtle softening. Love that.
- Jet played by FirstOne Wannakorn
WHY does this man look like Mix and Off combined in a lab experiment. I kept staring at his face like “You look familiar but in two different fonts.” Jet is chaotic best friend energy. Number one KhemPeem shipper. Protective. Loud. Goofy. But when it’s serious? He switches up fast. The way he wakes up instantly when Khem sleepwalks? THAT is best friend goals. His relationship with Charn though… blink and they’re in bed. I’m not complaining but I needed more build up. A little tension. A little “oh?” before “OH.”
- Charn played by Tle Matimun
Why does he look like Pepper from GMMTV? Why is DMD collecting look-alikes like Pokémon cards?
He can be a bit stiff but not unbearable. His character is actually interesting. Nerd vibes. Suddenly discovers he has some sixth sense ability. Starts training with Peem. Slightly random but okay we move. He’s not the most memorable for me but he fits.
- Yos played by Pung Phirunwat
SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN MORE SCREEN TIME. He is so cute it hurts. Soft face. Soft aura. Soft everything. I wanted more from him. More scenes. More depth. Maybe even a dramatic sacrifice arc. I’m writing fanfiction in my head because the show didn’t give me enough.
His backstory? Painful. One-sided love will always ruin me.
- Khachen played by Net Siraphop
HELLO??? I forgot how fine Net is. He shows up and suddenly I’m alert. His comedic timing as Khachen was actually so refreshing. That fake sleeping scene while Jet and Charn were talking? ICONIC. That little smile? Naughty but adorable.
Lowkey wish they teased a future pairing for him. Just a snippet. As a treat.
____________________________________________________
c) OST
The OST slaps. It’s atmospheric. Spooky. Dramatic. Am I downloading it? No. Because I refuse to invite ghost vibes into my room at 2AM. I like peace.
____________________________________________________
d) The intimacy and chemistry
- Keng x Namping
The chemistry is STRONG. Especially considering this is their first project together. The tension. The eye contact. The small touches. And when that handjob scene popped up I literally froze. My jaw dropped. My soul left my body and came back five business days later.
DMD does not play around with intimate scenes and I was NOT mentally prepared.
- Tle x FirstOne
The chemistry is there physically. The scenes? Whew. But emotionally I needed more. It felt a bit rushed. Still cute though.
____________________________________________________
e) Overall
CGI? Solid. Ghost design? Creepy enough to make me side-eye my dark hallway. Plot twists? Effective. Angst? Chef’s kiss. Not many plot holes either.
Would I rewatch? I’m conflicted. I don’t usually rewatch unless I’m OBSESSED. This one has me half in, half out. But it did hook me hard while airing.
Final rating: 9/10.

Why Khemjira and not PeemKhem or just Khem?
It’s been a minute since I’ve seen anything outside of GMMTV, and thanks to GMMTV, I’ve become accustomed to criticizing everything about a show. However, Khemjira was a good change of pace and a reminder of what a good Thai BL is capable of.What I enjoyed about the show:
1. The visuals, cinematography, sound, and writing.
- Visually, the color palette, theme, and filter used were all nice and go hand-in-hand with the horror theme. The actors are also visually pleasing, to a degree. Companies tend to find talents with similarities, so we got FirstOne, who looks like a mix of GMMTV’s Mix, Sea Talay, and Domundi’s Jamessu, and gave strong Yim vibes. Tle (Charn) is a mix of Bible and Mark Tuan. And Namping gave me Nunew vibes. I’m assuming all of this is intentional. I’m a big fan of the supernatural and love me a good horror show now and then. When it comes to ghosts, no one does it better than Thailand and Japan. The ghosts in here were well done, from the makeup to the CGI. Sure, I’d catch shadows here and there, but they weren’t enough to distract me from the ghosts’ appearances.
- I appreciate the cinematography here. I enjoyed the variety of camera angles, though I wish we got more zoom-ins. Overall, not much to complain about. Given that it’s a horror series, I expected good angles, and good angles were present.
- I have to say, every OST piqued my interest, and I found myself searching for the BGMs used throughout the show. The sound effects were nice, pleasant, and reflected the mood of what was going on on the screen. Although I appreciated the sound, I noticed that either there was an audio issue in ep9 or they had added Namping’s (Khem) breathing/hyperventilating over the original audio, so Khem was echoing, which was a sloppy moment.
- The writing was self-aware, and the call-backs were satisfying. At times when a character does or says something, I’d ask myself why he/she does/says that. Then, not even a few seconds later, another character will clock it, and we’ll get a reason why. This makes characters less one-dimensional and more lifelike. Some characters even held grudges over time, and this again amplifies the realistic aspect of the characters and the show.
2. I particularly enjoyed Jet, Thong, and Ake. Jet was the most consistent character, and I love a good comedy relief character. I thought this series did a good job expanding on its side and supporting characters’ lives, desires, and goals, too. No character is truly flat or useless to the plot. Domundi is superior when casting older and younger actors who can pass as the same person.
3. For the longest time, I was begging for the details of Ramphueng’s past. What was her grudge about? Why did she curse a whole bloodline? What exactly happened to her that she’ll put innocent people through hell before their 21st birthday? Admittedly, I became team Ramphueng halfway through ep9. Her backstory had me in tears, and it was the only time I cried. In my eyes, her hatred is justified. We also got to learn that she was a mother earlier on and is against killing babies, despite having been slaying other people’s adult children for nearly 260 years. I have to admit, I was rooting for Ramphueng to get her revenge and got a little too excited when Khem was willing to step outside the ring. I’d love a side story of just Ramphueng and her next life, where she reunites with her son.
4. I love that, unlike other series, it took a while to defeat Ramphueng. Showing just how truly powerful she is. I’m tired of "powerful" villains being wiped out within 10-20 minutes of screentime.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I didn’t enjoy about the show (in no particular order):
1. I’m going to get heat for this, but I did not like Khem. Be it Namping's limited acting or bad direction, Khem was capable of five facial expressions. Trying to cry, on the verge of crying, trying to look worried, staring, and smiling. Namping’s cries piss me off. I hate that Khem is coddled, the damsel in distress, slow, and can’t sympathize with other people. He saw the Madam throw Ramphueng’s baby into the water, and dared to act like he was the ultimate victim. I hated that Ramphueng genuinely apologized to Khem and offered to make up for her actions, whereas Khem couldn’t understand that her actions up until then were because of what was done to her baby and her being flogged to death. Khem really thought Ramphueng was just seeking revenge for herself, even after the fact. He seriously didn’t realize this until after it was over and they got to ask the monk questions. This further pissed me off. But seriously, I stopped liking and caring for Khem earlier on when he was going back and forth with Peem about lifting his curse. Peem made it clear he wouldn't help because he promised his grandfather that he wouldn’t intervene with others’ karma. Which makes sense because if he interferes with Khem’s karma, others would expect him to help them as well. Every time Khem pushes it, Peem always asks, “Do you want me to break my promise to my grandfather?”. Khem would never say yes, but would keep begging, basically asking Peem to break the promise so that Khem could live past 21. Not only did Khem want Peem to break his promise, Khem also decided to low-key gaslight and manipulate Peem by cooking and cleaning up Peem’s place. Like boi, you’re asking to stay at his place and don’t pay any bills, the least you can do is cook and clean. When Peem said Khem had ulterior motives for becoming Peem’s student, Khem acted oblivious when it was clear as day that he did have selfish motives. Khem’s selfishness doesn’t stop there; the guy constantly tries to make Peem jealous just because Khem himself liked Peem. Khem didn’t act like a 20-year-old who’s on the verge of being horrendously killed. He’s worried about love and was pouting when Peem, who has a long life ahead of him, didn’t reciprocate right away. I can’t root for a manipulative, selfish, and weak character. I refuse to. Khem's relationship with his mom was sweet when he was a kid, but as he got older, it felt forced. He'd forget about his mom until she shows up to protect him.
2. The chemistry between Keng/Peem and Namping/Khem wasn’t chemistrying. The romance was painfully dry, bitter, and confusing. Their past lives were constantly a factor in how they SHOULDN’T and AREN’T currently into each other. The show tries in more ways than once to convey that they love each other, but not because of their feelings from the past. Since it came up so much, I started to wonder if the show even believed Peem and Khem’s love was genuine. Peem and Khem’s romance was a slow burn and not worth the burn. They should have bypassed the romance or at least developed it more naturally.
3. The timeline was a mess, and the math wasn’t mathing. About 20 minutes into ep1, Khem said in 6 months he’ll be 21. And not even 10 minutes of screen time later, they go on their volunteer camp, which supposedly happened one month before Khem’s 21st birthday, per Charn's claim in ep11 of how long since he’s met/known Jet. So, within 10 minutes, there was a 5-month skip without superimposition? Also, Ramphueng was 21 in 1767/1768, so how has she, to quote Peem in ep11, “been growing her power for over 400 years”…? That’s less than 260 years, sir. The loophole of Khem being born at 6 AM was a nice touch, though predictable. Also, appreciate Peem for letting us know what exactly will happen if Khem doesn’t die before 21.
4. School and the volunteer camp were afterthoughts. Other than doing it for Khem, why did Jet suggest bringing a whole group of students to a dangerous place where possessions and spirits are common? And besides the painting, what was ‘volunteering’ about the camp? The whole time they were there, it didn’t feel like a club trip for students. We never found out what happened to those three bullies, and the girlfriend of one of the bullies didn't seem to care all that much about him on multiple occasions.
5. Just me nitpicking, but when Charn and Jet were being pursued, Charn turned the wheel left, but the car went right…
6. Another serious confusion is, was Ramphueng chasing both Khem’s soul and Khem’s bloodline? Or how was Khem and his mom so unlucky as to be born into the same cursed line twice/thrice?
7. What angers me the most was the revelation in ep10. You mean to tell me, these characters spent a whole lot of their break at this shaman’s house when the curse could have been lifted if Khem had just survived past turning 21..? WHAT!? Then what help did Khem really need from the Master? Peem’s place itself was relatively safe as long as Khem wasn’t dumb enough to fall for all the red flags, so why not just stay there until his birthday? Is it really a curse if Ramphueng was responsible for most of the incidents? Also, why did Khem run away instead of taking responsibility for falling for Ramphueng's tricks? I get that Grandma Si wasn't Khem's fault, but Thong and Ake, too? Peem really concocted that BS so that nothing's Khem's fault.
8. I understand why there were fewer ghosts as the story progresses, but the cutback was very abrupt. Except for the forest scene where Ramphueng jumped in front and mind-controlled one of the purer spirits, all of the jump scares were predictable. They were given away either by the music, utter silence, or camera placement/angles. I don’t mind it, but I wish there were more ghosts and jump scares.
9. The fact that their past lives seem to have an impact on their current ones is concerning. But also not worth diving into.
10. I didn’t care for the latter half of the final episode. Sorry, not sorry.
All in all, if Khemjira were 2-4 episodes shorter, it would have gotten a 10 from me. But because of how lengthy it is, including some episodes ranging from 1 to 2 hours, it became draggy and boring at times. Still, it’s a good watch and I’d recommend it to anyone who can handle dark and horror.
