Khemjira

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.

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…

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 ;)

Slow Burn Perfection and Worth Watching

Khemjira is one of those BL series that sneaks up on you, it’s heartfelt, emotional, and surprisingly layered. After a few episodes, I’m hooked and can’t wait for the next ones to drop. Khemjira is an absolute must-watch for me and right now I’d give it an 8.0 out of 10 but honestly, if it keeps up this quality, it could easily become a full 10/10. The chemistry between the leads is incredible every scene, every glance, every little gesture feels so real that you can’t help but root for them. The story takes its time building their relationship, and that slow burn makes everything so much more emotional and satisfying. Yes, there are a few slower moments here and there, but they fit the tone perfectly and make the emotional payoffs hit even harder. Visually, Khemjira is gorgeous, with great cinematography and a soundtrack that just pulls you in.

I can only describe it with one word: Masterpiece.

This series was an emotional and spiritual journey that made me rethink so many things about my life. I lived through the hearts of its characters: their love, friendship, courage, sacrifice, pain, and revenge. I laughed and cried with them all.
Every episode touched me deeply, the music, the story, the emotions… everything resonated within me. It’s a show that will stay with me forever.
Now I feel something inside me has changed in a good way. This story helped me face unresolved parts of myself.
As Monk Kesem said, “Revenge only breeds more revenge.” Love and forgiveness will always be the better choices.
Thank you to the entire cast, production, and everyone involved for creating such a powerful, life-changing experience. Truly one of the most beautiful series I’ve ever watched.

Unique Story

It's indeed unique story that blends the culture.
But maybe it's too unique, the bl part of it is being sub. Maybe because I'm still at earlier chapter? We'll see.
But it feels like straight story, just happens she got reincarnated to a he. Except the second couple.
For now all I can say, I can't find any good points other than it's being unique story.
***
Ep. 7 edit: the chemistry is more on second lead. While mls are kinda force? Or lacking?
***
Ep. 9 edit: I do understand why there's a community for this. But one of my most dislike in trope is damsel in distress. Knowing the series is named after Khemjira, most of the time he's just helpless. He needs everyone's help just to survive. He just uses his looks and being "kind" To bring supports.
Another edit: yeah don't like the character of Khemjira. He is self absorbs. He abandons the Master, because of supposed guilt and doing "what's right". When in truth he only do whatever he wants.
The side characters, are much better.
If you make the characters the story name place holder at least make it likeable.
***
Ep 12 edit: gotta say Ramphueng story is the most important here. And ChamJet. Like they're truly the main characters. Give Ramphueng and his son a happy ending (crying).
***
End: every characters are good except for the title holder himself Khemjira. The way his character is written as so helpless, and self absorbed.
Additional note, they should show Cham and Jett wedding, as that one is like their delay on previous lives. They should be the one marrying firsts. But no, they give in again to Khemjira. It's like the main character syndrome. Nothing can be done bad. Everything is for you. Production focuses so much on Khemjira, that everything else is after thought, which is the thing that irritates me cos other characters build is good... and product placement.
Still gonna say Ramphueng is the main character here.

Most wasted resource and time 2025

I was really enjoying this show so far, but the way episode 2 handled domestic abuse was just absolutely horrendous, I will not be watching the rest of the show. You already established that side of him by having him be a complete fool for the whole of the first episode, you don’t need to make that point again, especially not at the cost of dragging women who experienced domestic abuse through the dirt. The show had a really good storyline established, but wasted it by making a point of women in abusive marriages having to ‚work‘ to establish a ‚stable‘, ‚loving‘ home. There were NO repercussions for the husband, none at all, he should be behind bars or at least never be allowed to step near her again, but instead the show decided to make a point of ‚relationships are hard‘ and ‚both parties need to work on it‘. I am in no way blaming the actors, this isn’t their fault, but I am blaming the creators. The show probably went trough many stages of reviewing before release and I can’t get my head around how no one stopped for a minute and went like „hmm maybe they way we addressed the topic wasn’t the best“. I would have loved to continue this show for the plot, but I will not be supporting this kind messaging and will not continue watching it. The drama lack so many please

Such potential

I started and was intrigued, I love a good idea can see ghost story. In the first episode we saw khem quietly save that kid because he could see the ghost, (for a second i thought he'd discover her body or something) this was an interesting little moment, but we don't really get anything else like this.
My main dislike of this drama I'm afraid was Khem's character. What they are obviously trying to push as a polite and kind personality comes off as almost bland and not really real feeling. And though I've no idea whether it was direction or the acting that make it like this it really got to me, and the same kinda facial expression all the time, felt really insincere. Plus if he really has been aware of the fact he'll die at 21, why live so halfhartedly? Surely you quit school and go all out exploring? Or the total opposite and become an absolute loner so as not to become attached, like it was so bland. Where was the extreme joy as a coping mechanism? Or indeed the depression? Also hated how useless he seemed all the time with ghosts like, jesus.
On top of that, the story dragged so much. Like we'd have so many scenes, not interesting but just to slow what you wanted to see. Like at least give interesting character development, or more insight into the ghosts. I struggled to get through episode 3 and 4, I glanced ahead and honestly it's just not for me evidently. Glad to see others like it but I'm not a fan.
Peem was attractive and I found his character interesting, not enough for me to deal with the rest.
The past lives thing I think could've been executed better, I didn't feel the weight as much as I wanted to but not really surprised at this point.
