It's freaking cute, but overrated.
My magic prophecy is just the same old story GMMTV keeps recycling and we like idiots keep eating up. The recycle the same formula over and over again sometimes with some exceptions (Not me, Last twilight, A tale of a thousand stars to mentiona few) it's fine, others it's watchable and most it's garbage.This one falls under the just fine category, I mean I could tell who the bad guy was from the very first frame he was in they made so little effort to hide his deviousness that I was kinda hoping it was a misdirect, but no, the writters are way to lazy for that and wouldn't want to taint their next ship by having one of them be evil.
Imagine for a moment that instead of the dude that never stopped giving evil vibes the entier time hi was on screen it was the one with the constantly worried puppy expression on his face, the guy that most likely cry his eyes out over stepping on a bug on his way to work. I mean he had the cop guy wrapped around his finger the entire time so much so that I think he could've tricked him into helping if he wanted to. Would it be surprising? Not really, but, I would've liked it better.
Did I sit and watch the entire series in one sitting with a dumb smile so big that my cheeks hurt? Yep I did, however, this is not deserving of an 8.7 rating let's be honest people, not just for the stupid villain with even stupider motives but many more flaws that I'm too lazy to list. It's freaking cute, though so I would recommend a friend to watch with the fair warning that it's cuteness far outweighs it's quality.
If i find myself bored one day and want to enjoy some fluffy cuteness I'd watch again. sure.

wish it had been better as their farewell
Ok. So just finished watching. I love watching their amazing chemistry and talents. Such true friendship and trust on screen. And the supporting cast some of the best in the biz. The director is great, but even he and all of them can't overcome a mediocre script that is two episodes too long. Sorry. Fluffy and kinda, by the end, maudlin.But its their last go round so I will take it. Going to go back and watch Vice Versa so I can remember them in their prime. Wish they had stopped at Last Twilight which is a masterpiece.

over-produced
I've been thinking about this a lot, trying to figure out why it really didn't work for me. I usually like slower paced and slice of life series. The Thai way of incorporating grief into a story without letting it overwhelm it is something I usually love.... So why am I so meh about this?It wasn't the cast, they did well enough with what they had to work with. But it's like a sparse handful of common cliches strung together with Meaningful Looks, some snogs and Inspirational sentiments taken from posters of sunshine, puppies and a cross. The setting was beautiful, the house was a dream, the kids were cute. But the villagers were more cliches. The attempted-murder mystery was so very weak and the motivations in it were very much why did they bother.
I did like the conversation with his father scene, but it felt unconnected with the rest.
All in all, it was over-produced. From most of the background music to the artificially white make-up shine to the soft focus lens to the cliched emotions. I could believe moments, but not the whole. Not even the romance arc.
It's also one where it's impossible to forget these are made as romantic fantasies for women. LGBTQ feels like such a misnomer in the tags. With the Christian quote and the very pale skin, I wonder if this one was perhaps made to chase the US audience in particular.
It wasn't bad enough to drop, especially as it's only 10 episodes. But other than the house and Khaohom's adorableness, there really isn't anything to draw me back or even remember. It was very undemanding and filled some time.
Those are my thoughts. Normally I wouldn't bother with a review for something like this, but I'm interested if others have similar reactions or their own insights. Please share yours in the comments.

A Fortune Teller Could’ve Warned Me Not to Watch This..............
I’m really sorry to say this, but this might be the worst JimmySea series I’ve watched so far. I’ve followed this ship for years, so it honestly hurts a bit to admit that GMM totally dropped the ball on this one. I’m even more shocked seeing how high the rating is on MDL, because for me this is easily the weakest BL I’ve seen this year. Everything felt repetitive to the point that even their cute moments started feeling like deja vu. And I truly thought bringing First into the cast would help elevate the storyline… but nope. The plot was messy from the beginning, and it became obvious early on exactly where everything was heading. Knowing the ending before the journey even gets going? Yeah, not fun.It’s frustrating because the premise had potential, a skeptical ICU doctor forced into hiding after a series of bad omens predicted by his sister’s fortune-teller friend. That setup could’ve been mysterious, suspenseful, or at least quirky in a fun way. But instead, the story leaned way too hard on recycled romance beats and stretched them across episodes that felt longer than they actually were. The actual conflict where the villain pursuing Thap was barely explored, almost like an afterthought. By the time they revealed who the bad guy was, I just sighed because it was so predictable.
And yet… Jimmy and Sea themselves are not the problem. Their chemistry is still there, and they always commit to their roles. I stayed for them, honestly. If it weren’t JimmySea, I wouldn’t have made it past episode two. They did what they could, and they did look great on screen. The little easter eggs and fanservice were cute, but cute moments can’t save a fundamentally weak script.
Overall, this series felt like GMM trying to package something feel-good without crafting an actual story behind it. It’s pretty, it’s soft, and the vibes are relaxing, but it’s also predictable, slow, and kind of boring. I love JimmySea, but I think it’s time to give them fresher roles and a storyline that actually values their acting. This just wasn’t it.

A stinking fluff-bomb of a show that you'll enjoy as a one-time watch if you love Jimmy-Sea
I couldn't have asked for a better show for one of my favourite pairs ever, Jimmy-Sea. This has got everything right so far, great looking cast, believable acting, intriguing story and great production values. What are you waiting for - go watch!!BL-needle Score: 8.5. Very High BL-ness
I loved the first episode. The intriguing story with a hint of esoteric and occult, an engaging script, good support cast, Jimmy who looks he has actually grown younger and more handsome, and Sea who is as pretty as always, I couldn't have asked for more. Also being a tarot junkie adds to the fun.
In the end, though this was not good as the Last Twilight, it was very enjoyable as a one time watch. I would call this a stinking fluff bomb that you are bound to enjoy if you are a Jimmy-Sea fan.

Not my favorite JimmySea but I enjoy it a lot. Thap fixed something he didn't broke in In.
Even thought In cried most of the episode, it was really heart warming.
I wasn't really focused on the plot with First, I'm sorry. But it was really great even though it was predictable.
In and Thap should have adopted a kid-

Was hoping for a better prophecy
I placed spoilers at the end of this review.Overall, this was a decent series. The script was nether horrible or outstanding, just ok. There were times the script was on point, but then just introduced information or scenarios without any context about it. It also had some unnecessary story elements considering this has only 10 episodes. I wish it focused more on the crime storyline which felt forgotten at times. This also had inconsistent pacing. I understand there were only 10 episodes, but some things happen at a supersonic speed in just one episode (Episode 3 for example). The surprise twist towards the end was not much of a surprise to me. I was able to predict this by the first episode. On a positive note, the cast was great. They did a great job with what they were given. The script did a great job tying up all the storylines together in the end. However, this had one of the most bizarre forgiveness scenes I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, I developed a serious case of second couple syndrome with Ton and Pong. I want more scenes with them which would have been possible if the production team used their screentime wisely. I was not a fan of the background music. There were times the audio was to load and/or didn’t match the overall mood of the scene.
Random Note:
The episode names/cards are from the 22 cards of the Major Arcana section of the tarot set of cards.
This is another GMMTV series that had a good story concept, great cast, and production quality, but missing a great script. Again, the script was not horrible or outstanding. It was just decent.
The location for Kan’s condo was also used in the series “Only Boo”. The location used for Pong’s condo was also used in the series “Happiness”, “Peaceful Property”, “Wandee Goodday”, “Only Boo”, “My School President”, and “Good Old Days”.
******Potential Spoiler Alert******
There was a love triangle that served no purpose. It was randomly introduced without any context involving a character they briefly introduced in episode 1. This was one of the few times I was thankful this was all done in one episode.
There was also the predictable returning ex, but this actually served a purpose to the storyline. Although Thap’s ex was mentioned a few times, this still felt random. Again, thankfully this was wrapped up very quickly.
I was able to guess that Kan was involved in some way. To me, the hints throughout the series were not very subtle. What’s a little attempted murder between friends. Because you didn’t succeed, it’s all good. The scene with Kan and Thap in the last episode was just weird.

grief, healing, love
Overall: it's a sweet story of grief, healing and love with a tinge of danger/mystery. 10 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on GMMTV's YouTube channel (not in Thailand, Taiwan, Japan) https://youtu.be/akIaydwc0Mk?si=lWlPxAJ42JNf5G51Content Warning: attempted murder, blood, past death, grief, manipulation
What I Liked
- the bickering/opposites dynamic
- sweet and caring moments
- mystery element
- working thru grief
- they had some good communication
Room For Improvement
- pacing was a bit slow in parts
- villain was obvious
- ex was unnecessary

A Human Heart in a Magical World: A Drama Review (8.5/10)
I just finished this new Thai BL drama with the magic prophecy drama and wow, it's really sticking with me. I'd easily give it a 8.5/10. If you're a fan of shows that mix supernatural mystery with a really deep, emotional romance between the main leads, you absolutely have to check this one out.Let's start with the obvious highlight: the main couple, In and Thap. Their chemistry is off the charts, but it's the way their characters are written that truly shines. In, with his magical burden, carries this profound sense of loneliness that you can feel through the screen. Thap is the perfect counterbalance—his journey from perhaps a skeptic to In's unwavering pillar is so satisfying to watch. The way the show delivers their feelings is top-tier. You don't just get told they're falling for each other; you see it in every lingering look, every protective gesture, and every moment of silent understanding. Their emotional arc is the heart of the whole show.
And can we please talk about the OST? The music is just beautiful. There's this one piano melody that plays during their key scenes that absolutely wrecks me in the best way. It perfectly captures the show's mix of mystery, magic, and deep yearning.
The plot is another strong point. The mystery and the crimes tied to the prophecy aren't just a flimsy excuse to get the leads together; they feel genuinely intriguing and add a great layer of suspense that had me clicking "next episode" every time.
My one critique, and it's the thing that holds me back from a full 10/10, is with the supporting characters. There's a second couple and a group of friends who are genuinely likable and have the seeds of really interesting stories. You can see the potential for a great side romance or a compelling personal struggle, but just as you start to get invested, the show pulls back to focus on In and Thap. I found myself genuinely wanting more—more of their backstories, more scenes to flesh out their relationships, and just more time to let their emotional moments breathe. Their stories felt a bit short-changed, and the delivery of their feelings wasn't as strong as it was for our main leads.
But don't let that deter you. The core story of In and Thap is so powerful, so well-acted, and so beautifully scored that it's an absolute must-watch. It’s a haunting, romantic, and thrilling drama that I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Just be prepared to wish you could live in its world a little longer with all its characters.

Another drama of Jimmy-Sea. Let's watch!!!Story of Dr. Thapfah (Fah) is an ICU doctor and Inthu (In)—a clairvoyant and tarot reader.
It begins on In’s graduation day, when he suddenly collapses. A man comes to his aid and introduces himself as a doctor. To In’s surprise, the man turns out to be Fah—the older brother of his best friend.
For unknown reasons, In begins experiencing vivid visions—each one foretelling a series of tragic events in Fah’s near future. Troubled, he tries to warn Fah about an approaching streak of misfortune that could cost him his life. But Fah, a rational and skeptical man, doesn’t believe in horoscopes, destiny, or supernatural signs. So, when In warns Fah of an approaching streak of misfortune that may cost him his life, Fah doesn't buy it.
But then, one by one, In’s predictions start coming true—manifesting as a string of accidents and near-death experiences for Fah. Each time, In somehow manages to save him. Concerned for Fah’s safety, his family insists that he leave the city for a while—and they ask In to accompany him.
Now, away from the chaos of their normal lives, the two find themselves alone together. As days pass, they grow closer, learning more about each other and forming a bond that slowly turns into something deeper and more romantic.
So, what will become of their relationship? And will they finally uncover the truth behind the person orchestrating the dangerous accidents targeting Fah?
That's pretty much the story without giving spoilers. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Chemistry between Jimmy-Sea never amiss
+ I like to see for once First playing an unconventional role. It kinda suits him.
+ Kinda like the 2nd couple. Although their chemistry still needs to be polished.
What i don't like:
- The plot is kinda forced. Stupid reason for Kasidis to go after Fah after he's stop being his wife doctor.
Overall I quite like this drama. I just hope this will not be Jimmy last drama…

Great cast =/= great series
"A good story can mask bad acting but good acting can't mask a bad story." I think this quote can be applied to any series/movie and it rings true very often, both negatively and positively. In this case it's leaning more towards the 'great acting, bad story'.That is not to say I didn't enjoy this series!
The series started off very strong and set up some mysteries and character conflicts were introduced (InxThap 'rivalry'; In and his BSF who pines after him; Thap being the oldest son). However, because it's only 10 episodes the story mainly focussed on the Big Bad Evil and didn't get to develop these other interesting themes, to the detriment of the quality of the series. The episode storylines were bland as it was basically: romantic tension -> conflict happens -> In cries -> Thap apologises -> repeat. I found the final episode to be aggravatingly boring and offendingly safe and I watched most of it in 2x speed. It reminds me of Vice Versa, Jimmy/Sea another project that also has a great premise but kind of stagnates in the middle and then fails to deliver at the end.
As for characters I want to begin with the fact that I freaking love Nut's acting even though it was very little. I'm so happy he is actually starting his acting career FOR REAL. And I had already noticed in ThamePo that he looked very similar to Jimmy (not just in looks but also in mannerisms it reminded me of Jimmy) and I'm so glad the casting agents at GMM realised that too.
The other characters in the show were ok just not that interesting. I could honestly have cared less about Book's cameo but his acting was quite pleasant and not bad at all. For the main character: they were alright but In crying in every episode became very repetitive very quickly.
I think the story was trying to push Thap as 'greenest flag to ever exist' a little too much which also ended up creating a rather bland character which is salvaged mostly by Jimmy's incredible acting. I will say though that I'm a sucker for enemies-to-lovers, and it was really refreshing to see Thap admit to his feelings so quickly and start to pursue In and relentlessly flirt with him - that made me blush a lot for In too even more than the 'accidental' tension between the two of them hehehe.
All in all, it's not a bad series and falls in the same category as 'Vice Versa' ; don't expect too much, it's just a lighthearted romance series with just a hint of trying to be more and a great cast.

Simple and sweet like desert
Positive pointsi) The way handle each other's trauma and weakness, especially when thap handle In in such a good way was best part
ii) No hurry or pressure to recover from his trauma, mental health is biggest issues nowadays so its was so good thap took slowly to help In
iii) Lots of romance and fluffy moments
iv) well they tried different genre
v) insane chemistry
vi) hella best acting from gmmtv artist
vii) Sea's smile and his handsomeness
viii) thap's handsome dad
ix) minimum side character
x) lot of screen time for lead character
xi) no too much drama, no too much triangle love story
I am not fan of jimmy so i avoided his drama where he has played lead, even while watching i thought i should skip but having crush on sea's smile lead to watch this drama. It is a gem. So far so good bl drama from Thailand. As i have already mentioned most points so i don't think i need to write more. And i am not saying this drama doesn't have loopholes but those loopholes are buried by these good points. No mystery, no thriller, don't expect too much coz this drama is simple and sweet. 10/10
