Khemjira

A contender for the best BL of 2025

Khemjira from the first episode had me hooked.

Beyond having an intriguing premise, it handles the subject matter maturely and Khem's emotional state given his day-to-day life of constant peril. Almost every episode has edge-of-seat action and storyline sequences, albeit there are a few episodes that this slows down primarily to flesh out the boys' relationship, but it quickly picks up where it left off.

However, none of the plot would have the emotional impact it did without the work of the cast. All actors felt extremely well-suited in their roles and captured their unique personalities very well. Namping especially delivers a phenomenal performance given the amount of range he had to portray episode to episode. The acting is A-grade and only enhances the immersion of the drama overall.

I also want to compliment the series for its inclusion of Thai culture, religion, and history. Although I'm no scholar on the subject matter, it gives the feeling that a lot of care went into its world-building and writing. The character of Rampheung especially just really embodied how much thought went into the writing.

It's hard for me to think of ways Khemjira could improve. Perhaps it could have benefitted from more substance in its less action-packed episodes, or hit more emotional beats than it did, but overall, this show is exceptional. The writing, the cast, the production value are all highly polished. It's hard for me to imagine another BL beating it quality-wise this year.

This Show was Amazing

I went into this show not really knowing what to expect other than it would have some horror elements along with a lot of Thai culture sprinkled in. I was not sure if I would like this show as shows can take these elements and end up not doing it justice or being boring. However, not only was the plot of this show amazing but so was the acting. I love how these actors brought so much to each of the characters they played. I was able to enjoy so much of this show especially with how they added to aspects of Thai culture into the plot. I went in unsure and came out of the show loving how the story was done and of course now I’m obsessed with these actors even more than I was before I watched it. This is definitely a show I hope everyone will give a chance as i feel it has something in it for everyone.

Love the visuals and effects! The ending was super fulfiling and completed.

First of all. If you are a scaredy cat like me for horror movies , skip those scary parts but persist to continue watching. Some parts cant be help as the scary supernatural part is part of the story. Is crucial. But just half open ur eyes haha

2nd . Chemistry is amazing , eyes are very expressive especially the longing and the pain. I wish the main couple had more expressive moments cause i feel 1 is too shy and the other held back too much but can be understandable from their positions and experience.

The second couple chemistry and interactions is natural n pure so is very light hearted to watch

3rd thing i like about the show is how it is all explained in the end. The questions are answered and certain things are made clear and explained. When we watch the show , there is bound to be moments where we feel that certain people should have or not have done certain things . But it is all for a reason... be patient with the plot and the rationale behind it

4th is all the effects and costume and subtle things to show the powers or intensity like glowing tattoo or the eyes the blood the veins etc . Subtle details that added alot of levels and contrast

5th the culture , the respect , the authenty of the whole show... i dont know much before watching but after watching this , it really reminds ourselves to always be mindful and why our actions whether selfish or self defence or even out of love may hurt someone or affect someone unintentionally .

6th the music and the link to the actors actions and video edit is amazing. (Spoiler) example the lyrics is like will always be with you i promise - then they hook pinkies. Or like its a seperation or fighting for each other scene n the music just matches so well with the lyrics. Usually its just the ost that means something by default but the acting continue as normal. But this show makes me feel like the scenes are coming alive n following the lyrics.

7th the actors and actresses visuals are off the roof (i love tattoos too so yes im bias) hahahaha

1 thing i dont like is how some misunderstandings could have been avoided or not dragged for too long with just open and honest communication. Like overall speed wise for the 1st couple could be faster but yes understandable that there were alot of concerns . The uncertainty and master's position and duty also make us confuse on whether they can do what they wish to.

More things you may like or dislike ,watch the show ;)

Past and present dance until they collide.

This is a tough show to rate because my feelings about Khemjira are a bit scattered right now.
Yes, I know he’s very loved — hey, I know!

If I rated the series solely on its horror elements, it would be a one-star watch. There’s nothing that gives me the creeps, makes me look over my shoulder at night, makes me sleep with the lights on, or makes me afraid to peek out the window.
That said, I can’t judge an entire show just on the creep factor. After all, horror is only a small part of the whole story.

But It’s a Love Story

And you know what? If you’re looking for a romance with a ghostly backdrop, it’s actually quite good. It’s about love that doesn’t look the way we expect — and about the quiet, stubborn courage it takes to keep existing fully in a world that keeps trying to erase you.

The romance is definitely more of a slow burn, but I feel like it had the perfect pacing and just the right balance between friendship and chemistry.
The characters themselves were fascinating, each shaped by rich and complex backstories that made them feel alive.

Peem
On the outside, he’s cool, composed, maybe even hard to read.
But inside? There’s ache. There’s hope — the kind that shapes his drive, like he’s always chasing something just out of reach.
Khem’s connection with him isn’t just romantic — it’s liberating. It gives him permission to be soft, to feel deeply, without losing his edge.

Khem
Oooo, boy… He shows that bravery isn’t about being unafraid of what others fear — it’s about being afraid and doing it anyway.

I loved Chan and Jet. Especially Chan — a man of action.
I love words of affirmation, but I’m a sucker for acts of service — those little things that show love without needing to say it out loud.

The show starts off strong, and the final episodes are great too.
The middle, though, has its ups and downs when it comes to keeping my attention.
And while the ending was powerful and satisfying, it was also a bit predictable.I just wanted one more twist — something to make me gasp, even if just once more.

So… looking back, I should’ve known my expectations were too high. This is a love story, after all. But the heart wants what it wants — and mine wanted a scary ghost story.

Still, I can’t deny it: this is a incredible show. Flawed, yes. But full of heart.

A Series So Boring It Should Come With a Sleeping Pill Warning

After watching two episodes, it's already possible to draw some conclusions. Honestly, it's a waste of time. The acting is terrible, the plot is very weak, and don’t even get me started on the special effects. The episodes are long—more like full-length movies—but incredibly boring. There's a ton of advertising, and ironically, it's filmed better than the show itself... The series doesn’t really evoke any emotions or feelings... To sum it up, there’s almost nothing good about it, except for the attractive actors—but that’s not what I’m looking for when I watch something.

The story could’ve been developed better.

Well, this is the story about a character named Khem, whose family is cursed, and who is destined to die when he turns 21. Because of that, he decides to seek help from a shaman to banish the demon from his life and survive. The premise is actually interesting, especially for those who enjoy horror and suspense stories.

The problem lies in how the plot unfolds. The shaman quickly starts creating obstacles instead of helping Khem. So, what does the viewer expect from that? That the main character will look for other alternatives but no. Instead, we get tedious scenes of the character washing dishes, working as a house servant. We spend long stretches watching scenes from past lives showing that the two already had some kind of connection. It’s the kind of plot I personally don’t like.

I felt the story lacked substance, especially considering that each episode is almost two hours long. The acting is really poor, especially from Namping. The other actor isn’t great either, but people always use the excuse that he’s supposedly handsome to justify never taking any acting classes.

The positive side is that DMD is investing in its BL series, unlike its competitor GMMTV, which is becoming more and more disappointing by focusing on so-called heterosexual series. The story lacked rhythm, and the episodes should have been condensed to 40 minutes at most.
The romance part is also weak and practically nonexistent..

We waited two good years just to get this show and trust me, believe me when I tell you that it has goated  beyond normal. it has exceeded, it has transcended all expectations because it was just that good.When I talk about Khemjira the first thing that comes to my head is love.  platonic love between friends, romantic love between lovers the love parents have for their children.
I tell you this show has described and it has pointed out too many good factors that literally shape our destinies.
The music, the casting, the plot, the storyline, that pacing like everything about this show is just God damn amazing 😍 😍 😍. I have to accept it at first I might have had my doubts but right now I tell you without reasonable doubts that Khemjira is indeed the series of the Year 2025.

the script should be written in a more interesting way

Domundi’s two BLs this year didn’t really work for me. Both The Next Prince and Khemjira felt like sleeping pills. I think if they had been condensed into fewer episodes and with shorter runtimes they would’ve turned out much better. The story simply didn’t have enough substance to stretch that long; at times, it felt like psychological torture for the viewer.

On the positive side, the actress who played Ramphueng really stood out. In terms of acting, I thought she was the best in the whole cast.

The special effects were great, the songs were beautiful, and I liked that the main characters shared a connection from the past it gave them a bit more depth.

But that’s about it.

I found the leads’ performances flat, bland, and unconvincing. There wasn’t much chemistry between them, and especially Namping’s acting felt weak it lacked energy, passion, anger, and intensity.

The story also dragged a lot, with long stretches where nothing interesting or meaningful happened. Overall, I didn’t enjoy it.

How is the rating so high?

The story started off well. I was hooked on episode 1, but then by episode 4 it lost me. I got to episode 10 and was absolutely confused by what was going on. The second lead couple have more chemistry than the main couple. Its not because of how the characters were written (boring), maybe it was the director. Maybe the actors. I had a hard time believing they actually liked eachother. There's nothing anyone can say that could convince me this show deserves more than a 6 rating. The production value is good, music is good. The actors are good looking, but not good enough to overlook the actual acting.
