Horror, mystery, ghosts from the past and more!
This is by far the best Thai drama I have watched in terms of cinematography! I just can't seem to get enough of this series! 1 ep every Saturday is making me go crazy lolWe need all eps ASAP
Ep 8:
OMG after the drought of 7 episodes we FINALLY got to see the most awaited Master and Khem kissing scenes! They really went all out with this ep! We got kisses, hugs, secret looks, NCs and then we got the Horror cliffhanger 😭😭😭😭 mannnnn what a way to end this episode! Master and Khem had one blissful night together and now they are gonna have brush with death DAMN!!! The scene with Grandma Si was so terrifying OMG 😲 I screamed!
This episode was really a good mix of comedy, romance and horror 👍👍
Ep 7:
I thought I had seen the best of Khemjira, BUT Episode 7 tops my list rn! Wow! Just WOW!! EVERYTHING ABT THIS EP was ART! Poetry!! Everything!
From the performance regarding the rebellion, the soudtracks that really enhances the vibes of the storytelling, the dancing and the way that evil ghost was dealt with by the ghost of holy ppl! Lovely!
And then we got Jet and Charn going all out with the NC scenes! It was so beautifully done! The lighting, the expressions and the blissful looks on both their faces! Wow!
And lastly our Master trying to control his feelings and failing, and almost KISSING Khem and then that cliffhanger ending! Damn!
Now I gotta suffer for another week! 😭😭
Ep 4:
We finally got the backstory of Khemmika and Mr Yod and Wat. Poor Mr Yod really did suffer alot 😢 Even though he had a chance for reincarnation he insyead tied his soul to Khem and watched over him for so many years 😭
I hope his next life is a peaceful one.
Our handsome Shaman is slowly but definitely falling for Khem!! I can see it!
Ep 1:
Fantastic first episode! The elements of horror, the bgm, and the way the story is unfolding between the past and present! Really liked it all!
Ever since the first trailer came out I have been waiting for this series to release! And with so many handsome faces 😍 what's not to love!
The eerieness of the first few minutes really had me on the edge haha! Its not something for the faint hearted
Tbh I found the pacing to be good, not too slow and not too fast either.
I'm trying to find the actual book to read, while waiting for the next episode to be released!
Hopefully we get a lot of BTS episodes to make up for the wait!
======
Rewatch: 100/100

It is a flawless series that sets a new standard for the whole BL genre. You must watch this!

Horror + Romance = Perfection
This show is a MASTERPIECE! I knew nothing about any of the actors going into this, and honestly didn't know much about the plot but BOY am I glad I decided to watch it. This is genuinely one of the best Thai shows I have ever seen.Khemjira (Namping) is living with a curse - at the age of 21, he will die. He's always been able to see ghosts, and they seem to be getting more malicious as he gets closer to 21. His best friend Jet decides to take Khem to see the shaman of the village he grew up in. This shaman Pharan (Keng) is reluctant to help Khem, especially because Khem coming to the village means he brought all kinds of bad energy and karma with him. Eventually, Pharan agrees to help, but the ghost behind this curse refuses to let go to events of the past, and is determined to kill Khemjira, even if it means taking down everyone else too.
I LOVED this show. The horror elements are SO good, and even though a lot of people wanted to watch for the romance between Pharan and Khem, I think the curse plotline was the highlight of this show (but the romance was INCREDIBLE too). I quite like a show where the romance is secondary to the main plot, and that's exactly what this show delivered. Plus, I'm a sucker for past lives, and the way this show tied in past life/soulmate elements with the horror elements was FANTASTIC! I genuinely cannot recommend this show enough. It has something for everyone, and manages to balance out the darker elements with fun happy moments. The side couple manages to stay just as interesting as the main couple, and adds a wonderful extra little flavor to the story. If you're considering this show at all, absolutely give it a shot.

The best thriller romance series
I’m so happy I got to watch and finish this BL series. It’s honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen. The story, the acting, the chemistry, and the music — everything was perfect from start to finish. Huge thanks to the production and editing team for bringing this masterpiece to lifeWas this review helpful to you?

A Masterpiece!!!
I usually don’t write reviews but I had to come out of the closet for this one. Because Khemjira wasn’t just a show, it was an experience!This series was absolutely beautiful! from the story to the performances, every single piece came together like magic. It’s rare for a show to feel this complete, but this one truly did.
We were taken on an emotional journey through love, loss, and destiny, and I loved every second of it. Watching Khem’s transformation, a boy born under a deadly family curse, named Khemjira to hide him from fate into someone brave enough to love and be loved was powerful and heartbreaking all at once. The writing handled the supernatural themes with such care, blending mystery, folklore, and romance seamlessly.
The acting was phenomenal. The leads brought raw emotion and chemistry you could feel through the screen. For anyone saying they didn’t see it did we even watch the same show? Their connection was genuine, natural, and breathtaking. The NC scenes were beautifully done: tasteful, emotional, and perfectly balanced.
The production value was next-level from the hauntingly gorgeous lighting during the ritual and temple scenes to the soundtrack that tied emotion into every moment. The OST was stunning (that piano theme still gives me chills), and the visuals were cinematic perfection.
The storytelling never dragged. Every episode revealed something new, layers of love, fear, and sacrifice and by the finale, everything came full circle in the most satisfying way. The ending was poetic and emotional, wrapping up their story beautifully while leaving just enough hope for more. (Fingers crossed for a special episode!!! especially for Chan and Jet! 😭)
This wasn’t just another BL. Khemjira created a new standard for what a well-written, well-produced BL can be ! Emotional, meaningful, and visually stunning. The cast, the crew, the writers everyone did an incredible job.
If you’re scrolling through comments and see negativity, ignore it. Don’t let others dictate your experience watch it for yourself. This is one of the best series I’ve ever seen, and it’ll live in my heart forever. ❤️ It’s not just about romance it’s about fate, identity, and love that defies every boundary. Khem and Pharan’s journey felt spiritual, heartbreaking, and healing all at once. The way the curse, the rituals, and the folklore tied into their story gave this drama a soul. It wasn’t just love it was destiny beautifully told. I’ll be rewatching this one for years, and every time I’ll still feel that ache in my chest when the final scene plays.

Certainly worth the high ratings!
I began to binge watch this series at the perfect moment; Thunderstorm outside the dark, cold and gloomy atmosphere made a 10/10 first episode even more enjoyable.It gave me the sense that this was going to be a horror show that just happened to revolve around gay men, it's not though, it is instead a beautifully told love story that knows no gender or sexuality and so strong that it can't be stopped, not by curses, Vengeful spirits or even death, with a little horror here and there just for funsies and a gorgeous cast for good measure. Though I did want more horror I can't complain about a story this good.
I got fully invested in the past lives connections, the mystery of the curse attached to Khem. How stunning the ladies were in their past lives, the adorable little boys, again the entire cast is so gorgeous. I have to applaud especially how well the casting of the younger versions of Khem, the shaman and Phrim was it's flawless totally believable.
Ramphueng is a perfectly written Villain, she's the kind of villain so awful, so ruthless yet you get where they're coming from and could easily root for them. Her curse is so petty so harsh and unfair, however, her back story is heartbreaking and just as unfair as the curse was. I wasn't expecting it to be this good, but for me this one is a 10/10 beginning to end.

1One of 2025 besssssst
From episode 1 straight up to episode 12 was a masterpiece but you see that episode 12 had me crying like a fucking baby. A mother love the things we do and sacrifices we make for our kids. When she held that child and was crying it broke me. Listen 10/10 the actors, the chemistry, the story, did I say the story everything was jyst😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥Was this review helpful to you?
BOUND BY FATE, KEPT BY LOVE, STRENGTHENED BY NEVER GIVNG UP
When a brilliant story, top-tier production, and ridiculously talented actors collide, magic happens — and that magic is Khemjira. This series isn’t just a show; it’s a full-blown emotional roller coaster that grabs you from episode one and refuses to let go. Heartbreak, joy, tension, and laughter — it’s all here, perfectly balanced.At its core, Khemjira reminds us of something simple yet powerful: sometimes forgiveness and love are all we need to move forward and leave the past behind. And trust me, it delivers that lesson with style.
I won’t spoil the story — that’s part of the charm. Just know this: if you decide to jump on this journey, buckle up, because it will stick with you long after the credits roll. Every episode is a gem, from the very first frame to the breathtaking finale.
The actors? Stellar. The music? On point. The CGI? Surprisingly impressive — yes, even in a drama! Every element feels polished and intentional, like someone sprinkled a little extra magic dust over the whole production.
Honestly, it’s a 10/10 across the board. And I, for one, am already counting down the days until these talented folks gift us another masterpiece.

Could have been great, but was lacking a lot
I was so excited to watch this, but it just didn't hit the mark for me. "Master" Peem was WAAAY to stiff to be a believable character to fall for and in 12 episodes there was only 2 spicy scenes and 1 of those was the support couple. I wasted 12 hours and was rewarded with only 8 minutes of actual intimacy. I just couldn't feel any real emotion between Khem and Peem, just so rigid and distant.I will not watch the follow-up and will not re-watch this series. The whole drama could have been reduced to 10 episodes and made the same impact, too long for too little reward.
If you truly just want a chilling drama, it is perfect and very well done, if you want romance and spice with your drama, pass on this one.

Not a Fan of Horror Shows And…
This one is no different.Yeah, that’s it. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of horror shows but I decided to watch this one cos it’s BL (duhh) and I liked the ML in Paradise of Thorns.
Yeah, I still like his acting here and it’s the reason I’ve watched all released episodes so far. Keng is an amazing actor.
Now about this BL show? Idk man. It’s a weird one is all I can say. Aside the fact that it’s horror (a genre I don’t like) it has nothing else to make up for being a genre that’s a hard-watch for me.
The romance aspect? It’s just so-so. I liked the second leads romantic interactions (not so much) but it’s a good reason to give this a try if you want to.
I’m dropping this show but I don’t regret watching it and won’t ask for my time back lol.
However, it is just NOT my type of story AT ALL.
I do not like the plot, the reincarnation trope too has never been my favorite, also the romance is kinda like a by the way and the horror aspect takes the forefront.
You might like it, who knows? Watch to find out, I guess…

Okay! This project has my attention...
I am genuinely impressed... The narrative unfolds seamlessly and captivates the audience. The production team along with the actors are successfully animating the story. My confidence in Domundi had waned somewhat, yet this project is slowly reinstating my belief that DMD still holds promise. However, I am convinced that there is room for enhancement in certain performances, yet I remain fully dedicated and engaged with this series!Was this review helpful to you?
It's not just the magic that sparks here...
Got hooked from the first Episode,The visuals! The Slow- Burn (You may hate it)! The landscapes! The LONG episodes!
And OMG - we have a REAL plot, not just an " It-will-take-us-to the -NC-Scenes -only plot" . You can feel the efford the production-team has been putting into this respecting cultural and religious backgrounds , so the BTS ist really worth a look.
There are many themes touched: Familiy issues, dealing with death, friendship (plus), discrimination - and some time you can tell, that the production wanted a little bit too much because not everything can be discussed in a series for everbodys satifaction.
And Yes- there are some logical clues, yes Khem seems to be the most naive pure soul in the universe - but who cares when Khem and Peem just float the screen with their atmospheric
connection and "Master" just stands out as the greenest flag since green flags were invented and would win every wet T-Shirt ( or business-Shirt) contest.
For me the best Fantasy- BL i have seen so far.
And who knows- Maybe there will be an increase in back -tattoos soon ;)
