ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!
The title says it all.There's not many series that I've watched that I have said that I feel changed after watching it. It's an absolute MASTERPIECE from the second it started to the second it ended. It's set a new bar for BLs, and every single person who worked on the series should be incredibly proud of creating this piece of art.

masterpiece , really enjoyed this show !
definitely worth the watch , the characters , the story , the music all very impactful. I was excited to see this as I enjoy the creepy / horror aspect & it did not dissapoint also the actors did a great job as I fell for all the main characters found myself invested in them & their stories. I felt sympathetic & emotional towards the hardships faced , I could sit and watch for hours. I am seeing some dissapointment maybe because the show was really hyped but honestly I don't see anything that particularly sticks out that you can complain about because all round it's an intense & enjoyable watch. it doesn't surprise me that it's up in the running as best of the year ❤️Was this review helpful to you?

It's a horror genre story with boy love
The series is too good to not to talk about or it'll be nit enough for the series cause it's very good . The story lines are perfect in their own way for each individual as well .The chemistry between leads , second leads and all the members from the casting is overly amazing . The score in the scene feels too real and so soothing . The OST of all of them feats perfectly for that situation and they are actually a very good singer . Overall this series is just perfect ❤️Was this review helpful to you?
Khemjira is one of the best 2025 bls
Everything about khemjira is insane from the acting,to the chemistry,to the osts,to the casting everything was done with careful consideration and it turned out so amazing,I just can't get enough of it,my favourite thing about this series is how each episode gets better than the previous one,not really a fan of domundi so I didn't really watch their series but I discovered khemjira and I'm shocked that they could produce such masterpiece, I've also read the novel and I can confidently say this is one for the rare adaptation of a novel that does the source material great justice, I'm very much impressed and obsessed with this series and the horror elements are so intriguing,if you haven't watched khemjira must survive please do you will never regret itWas this review helpful to you?
GREAT PLOT!
It’s been quite a while since I last found a BL series that truly caught my attention, but Khemjira completely reignited that spark. I actually stumbled upon it by accident—well, maybe fate had something to do with it—because it was all over social media, with fan edits and endless clips everywhere. My curiosity won, and I’m so glad it did. I’ve always believed that while Thai BL dominates the BL industry, only a few manage to stand out with great plots and bearable acting. Khemjira not only exceeded those expectations—it reminded me why I fell in love with the genre in the first place.What made Khemjira special for me was how beautifully it blended horror and romance without feeling awkward or forced. The chemistry between both the main and side couples felt real and natural; nothing felt staged or overacted. As a horror fan myself, I loved how the show balanced the supernatural theme with emotional storytelling. The effects, music, and visual style clearly showed quality and effort—everything looked polished, and the soundtrack elevated every emotional scene. The way it connects to Thai culture, even in small details, gave the story more depth and meaning.
If there’s anything that left me a little sad, it was how early Pung’s story (Pharan’s ghost brother from the past life) wrapped up. His scenes were limited, and I wished he had more time because his presence was impactful. It made sense for the story’s pacing, but personally, I just felt sympathy for the character and the actor. Another minor thing for me was Keng Harit’s portrayal—I wasn’t sure if his nonchalant vibe was purely the character’s design, but part of me wished for a bit more emotional expressiveness. Still, it fit the tone and I can’t complain much. And to be honest, I’m usually not into slow burns, but this one completely won me over.
As of now, Khemjira is a solid for me, based on episodes 1 to 11. I’m still waiting for episode 12, and I honestly hope the final episode keeps this same magic—or maybe even makes it better. Either way, this series deserves all the love it’s getting. It’s proof that Thai BLs can be more than fluff or fanservice—they can tell stories that are heartfelt, eerie, and deeply human all at once.

Khemjira was one if my favorites
I am going to try to leave out spoilers if i dont sorry...This is now one of my all time favorites bl series (Other 2 are Until we Met Again and Not Me) but this one was just awesome...the music on the title screen to the cinematography. I havent even finished it yet but I am already so impressed. The sceen with a couple where they showed them through a window duting a storm was just awesome down to the scene where they are back in Bangkok and they show the room and then the bug on the railing. The acting is superb from everyone from the main 4 actors to the woman whonplayed the grandma to lady who played Ramphueng. We need more BLs with this quality and storytelling. Thanks to everyone who made this awesome series. I am sad I am almost done.Was this review helpful to you?

One of the best Thai BL if not best shows I've seen
start to finish this show was incredible. The early episodes keep you stuck on the characters and there is not one character in this show I did not care about. I love how even though there is a villain, we really cannot hate her and even in the end when it seems she is truly gone, the writers still give us a chance to actually feel her pain. I love that they did not shorten the final battle and they gave us true closure for all the characters. One thing I do wish they did was make the scene with their kids a bit longer, I wanted to see their wedding TT.Was this review helpful to you?
Not only an excellent BL, but also just an excellent show (of any type)!
Khemjira is not only my favorite BL of the year (EDIT: thought about it some more, and I'll actually go even further and say that it's currently my favorite BL of all time), it's also my absolute favorite 2025 show of ANY kind, period.I watched it along with a few other shows week-by-week while they were airing, and while those other shows were certainly good and enjoyable, THIS series made me so obsessed that nothing else could even come close to comparing. (Every week I was actually counting down the days to its Saturday airtime, I was that excited to watch each new episode!) Everything about this series is top-tier incredible in every respect. Just to name a few:
The very careful, respectful, and 100%-serious treatment of its mix of various real-life Thai Buddhist religious beliefs, local regional rural folklore, shamanism, and etc. as well as a few real historical events (and just great world-building in general); not shying away from showing societal problems realistically/as they are, instead of idealistically/how things should be; gorgeous, immersive production that clearly spared no expense; lovely music (both vocal OST's - with equally-lovely lyrics - as well as instrumental scoring) that appropriately complements each scene; casting that is so perfect it's *unreal*; excellent, natural acting; a refreshingly deep story (that also deftly avoids clichés); absolutely magnificent pacing (not a single second of any episode is wasted! {I mean, except for perhaps the occasional product placement, LOL, but obviously that's par for the course for these dramas, and honestly most of the time it's way less intrusive here than I've seen in a lot of other works}); characters who are given space to breathe so that they feel like real, fleshed-out people (AND who have 100%-consistent characterizations, for once!); relationship development (and intimacy) for both couples that is both very realistic to and perfectly aligned with all of said established characterizations; superbly depicts the deep, abiding love to be found in (good) family, true friendships, and found-family/community; AND even has that all-important final piece: a *completely* satisfying ending!!
I really cannot overstate how fantastic this series is, not only as a romance (which, as mentioned, is fulfilled very satisfyingly for both couples), but also just as a genuinely excellent story as a whole.
(Now, for those who are on the fence because of the show's horror elements, I'll note that most of the series' more traditionally scary-type stuff is really front-loaded into the first episode, so if you can get past episode 1, it actually does get way less scary from there! I mean, obviously there are still other scary/life-threatening/etc. bits scattered throughout the episodes afterwards as well, LOL, it's just that, from episode 2 on, it's definitely not constant at all; a lot of the runtime of the show is just intriguing story and really good character work instead of scares.)
TL;DR: Khemjira is fantastic; it's clearly a labor of love from every single person involved; and it's one of the only-very-few-masterpieces I've given a full 10/10 rating. Absolutely recommended!

Opinion for 1 episode
Honestly, it's quite sad how the fandom culture is affecting BLs too.--RANTING--
Fans over rate while haters down rate just to prove who is better or not. Some people don't even feel confotable sharing their opinions because if it's positive, haters attack and if it's negative the fandom paints you as a hater.
Look, no one is obligated to like or dislike the same stuff, okay?
For example, I'm someone that has media from all sides since forever, so of course I will consider all I watch during my life to base my opinion.
I get that fans want to focus in isolating the series to give an opinion, but that's unfair to the artists. I'm sure they know people will judge their work, like any other, so why be so annoying when people complain?
Yes the series is not all bad, but to paint it as a masterpiece from episode 1 is ridiculous?
How many times we don't see fandoms doing it and later complaining about the series? If right now I feel that the series is nothing much, just fandom hype, just let me feel like this. If later anything changes, I will update here.
Till there, I would like people to stop this kind of stupid wars in review sites, because I want honest reviews, not fan wars here too.
Let's be more mature and stop overselling or overattacking.
If you are reading it and you are not in a fandom, just feel free to watch or not depending of what you like. It's clear that BL fandoms are using sites like this to fight and we can't trust anything now.
--OPINION--
As for my opinion, I will be simple:
- Story okay, nothing outstanding from 1 episode so far.
- Acting okay-ish, the khemjira guy is clearly a newbie so I hope he improves during the series or else it will be bad since he may appear the most.
- Ghosts are okay, just a few that don't pass a vibe that they are ghosts but zombies.
- Effects are not bad, but could be better in certain moments.
- I love some terror stuff, so right now I'm not feeling much of it yet as I would like. Let's see if that improves.
