A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes When Your Fast Asleep
wow, just wow, I am just so blown away by the grandeur of it all….🌟I’ve never watched a drama that stole my heart like this. I’m so immensely impressed with everything about this drama. The acting, the plot, the scenery, the characters, the production, everything was extraordinary!! I truly never wanted this drama to end, this drama redefined what it means to answer your true calling🌟
✨First of all, I love anything that has to do with royalty and kingdoms, so as soon as I saw the crowns and the capes, I was sold on it, at the very least I knew I had to give it a chance, and this series did not disappoint.✨
👑This series focuses on Khanin and his father living in the UK. Growing up, Khanin’s father always told him stories of the Kingdom of Emmaly, and raised him as his own son. One day, Khanin’s home is invaded by strangers that meant to kill Khanin. Luckily, the Royal Guard of Assavadevathin, Charan, is already on site and guides Khanin to safety, taking him back to the Kingdom and revealing to him the truth: – that Khanin is the long lost son of the Kingdom of Assavadevathin, and that that is his new home now.👑
❤️Watching the relationship grow and flourish between Khanin and Charan really opened my eyes to what true destiny looks like. Even though they didn’t like each other in the beginning, their disdain subsided, and as they grew older closer, I could see their deference for each other grow stronger, their bond deeper, and their hearts slowly open up to each other. Watching their story unfold was like looking at a blueprint; how profound and unprecedented their love was.❤️
🎶What other drama has original music from one of the main actors? I was so moved by how cohesive the music blended with each scene. It was as if the music entranced me, it was so beautiful and enriching to the series.🎶
🎨This drama was such a subtle sweet lull into a beautiful dream. There was elegance, beauty, devotion, respect, loyalty, passion, perseverance, and strength, all wrapped up in the most precious package you’ve ever laid your eyes on. Whoever doesn’t see that, can’t appreciate true art. 🎨
🤺I had never given much interest into fencing, but in this drama, there’s definitely a lot of that, and it’s riveting to watch. There’s a lot of healthy competition in this drama, and it made me wish I could watch a match in real time. And there’s archery!!🏹
💜I know for certain that I will rewatch this, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it was too soon. This drama was such an inspiring work of art, this was a masterpiece.💜
My favorite quote from the series:
when we care for someone with all our heart, we love and cherish them like our very life.
– Charan Phithakthewa
แด่ทุกความรักและความเท่าเทียมใต้ฟ้าเดียวกัน
☁️(To every love and every equal heart under one sky)☁️
A side note:
I really hope Prince Ramil learns to live for himself one day, he deserved better💜

Let’s not be dramatic…
I think some reviews on here are weirdly over dramatic about how “bad” this drama was. The plot was a little messy with constant topic switches, but I found the acting and the pacing of the drama overall to be really nice. The main characters were great, and though I wish the back story of the side couple was explored a little more, they were also good too. The chemistry between all the couples was really nice and didn’t feel awkward, in my opinion. I’d definitely watch it again, and probably will!Was this review helpful to you?
More like last prince
I like the story overall and characters backstories. Of course I watched it for the main couple but side couple (sorry i only remember Ramil's name) was really good too. It could've been better for sure, still it was nice to watch. Costumes and places were a nice touch I wish it was written better still had a good time watching itWas this review helpful to you?

It's a rated R Thai YA novel
Honestly, I will never be able to look at a paintbrush the same way again. Which is unfortunate because I'm an artist.Right off the bat, this series reminded me of The Princess Diaries with its hidden Prince, overly light colored floral outfits, and others vying for the throne. Then the Emmaly crest reminded me of the Hogwarts crest. We had a Hunger Games-esque archery competition. So the story was very YA coated. Until you got to the NC scenes, that is, which were WAY too long and I skipped.
I sadly didn't skip early enough to miss the paintbrush scene.
The CGI was very distracting. It wasn't bad, but it was something that I would expect to see in a WINX Club live-action. Some of the locations didn't match either, which was weird.
Fashion was great except for Khanin's wardrobe. I'm now convinced that Nunew would look good in anything because those clothes didn't look like they would have looked good on anyone.
Acting was great all around. There wasn't a single actor who felt like they were simply playing a character. This was very impressive since the 2 supporting couples didn't get nearly enough screen time. Jay and Calvin barely got the time of day, and Ramil and Paytai were in such an interesting situation that I would have loved to have seen the writers do SOMETHING with. Speaking of JJ, I really loved his singing. I was very impressed. These four did a lot with their characters in the small amount of time they had.
I loved Chakri. I think every time I laughed in this series, it was because of him.
The person behind the rebellion didn't shock me, but I didn't guess who it was because they diverted my attention well. The butler, being a part of it, didn't surprise me a bit. I can only imagine the shit he had to listen to over the years. I just don't understand why they didn't off the king in the years that Khanin wasn't there. I understand wanting to make someone suffer, but killing 2 mothers and failing to kill a baby isn't the way to go. You can't blame that on the king. That's 100% you. And if the goal was to make all of them pay, why didn't they target the others at all in the beginning? Why wait 22 years? Why target Ramil only after failing to kill Khanin? The plot felt very weak in this regard.
I expected there to be more action. More of a cat-and-mouse chase, but Khanin and Charan get to safety relatively quickly, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.
Don't get me started on Ramil's father; that man is a real piece of work. Besides the king, I hated him the most.
From episode 1, I wanted to push the king into the grave. The man didn't die soon enough. He must be rolling over in his grave after Khanin left Emmaly and his title behind. Still don't understand why Khanin gave up his title unless he just really didn't want it. (Which, yes, I know he didn't.) I know he trusts his birth father to handle things, but it would have also given him the power to help. Maybe it also restricted him from leaving the country for school or something? It didn't seem like anything changed other than that he doesn't have a right to the throne now. Maybe I'm missing something. They didn't really give us any explanation for why Khanin chose to do what he did. But we got another NC scene! woo . . .
I really wish they would cut back on the NC scenes when we need more explanations, world-building, and character/relationship development. I feel that way, not only about this series, but about many series that I've watched.
Also, we can't ignore the fact that this generation is the end of all four family lineages, lmao.

Good, not great.
I found the show a little rushed in the first few episodes, as well as in the second-to-last episode and certain points throughout the series where I wanted more explanation. Jay and Calvin’s storyline was good but definitely deserved more airtime, while Jimmy and Ohm’s storyline was handled quite well in my opinion. The main couple, Zee and Nunew, unfortunately felt a bit forced at times. While I may sound somewhat negative, there are still plenty of strong moments in the series, with some really well-executed scenes and solid performances from the entire cast.Was this review helpful to you?

It was honestly real good?
First of all loved their acting ZEENUNEW NEVER DISAPPOINT!! Charan and Khanin honestly have my whole heart even though I expected way more for this show I am not complaining at all. There was a few boring episodes but I feel like the last 6 made up for it. Them getting married at the end is just what I needed...I thought Ava and Mira were gonna have a lot story??? I guess I was wrongI was really looking forward to my pookie Ava having more screen time but I guess it was alright... wish she had more. Kris (Ava's actor) is honestly such a good actor and I hope she gets more acting projects and if not I WILL FOREVER SUPPORT HER GROUP (GO STAN ALALA‼️) Also LOVED that Ava and Khanin ended up being besties at the end!!
I actually like the ending that Ramil and Paytay got. Ramil finally spoke up to his father and the absolute meltdown he had when he went looking for Paytay again was just what they needed.
Overall, story was great, couples were AMAZING, and ending was IT.

Great watch (and great costume design)
I wish the storyline about the environment and the protests would have had more substance and that Ava would have gotten more scenes!!^^But besides that it was really nice to watch! Obviously everything about this series is eye candy but the OST is also great (not just the songs but also the instrumental parts) and all the actors are very good.
Ep. 12 seemed a little rushed in my opinion but afterwards it calmed done again so that's fine by me :)
As I said would have loved more Ava scenes (and also AvaMira scenes ^•^) but staring at her and Khanin's outfits was amazing too hehe

i can excuse bad writing but i draw the line at boring me to death
i stand by what i said.when i venture into thai bl, i don’t expect good writing most of the times. as long as i’m entertained and granted nice characters & romance i’m sold. however, this drama offered me none of those things.
the plot/setting already seemed a little ludicrous to me to begin with so i’m not even going to get into that. let’s talk about the characters though.
whats the point of having so many character that don’t really serve a purpose to the story? what is it with bls these days introducing 2-3 side couples and not giving them proper screentime? yes, they’re side couples, but it doesn’t mean they’ll get only 10 mins of screentime throughout 14 episodes lol why even have side couples for that matter.
khannin and charan both as individuals and as a couple weren’t compelling enough. their nc scenes were so absurdly long, which i wouldn’t even have problem with if they had been interesting in the first place. but no, they were merely comprised of long ass kissing takes and some rubbing here and there that got annoying to watch very fast. and i normally don’t really care for nc scenes!
don’t even get me started on the villains… lol alright whatever

This is it
Fresh air for thai bl, the concept, the soundtrack, acting and everything else feels magical and i love it so much so far. Really worth your time, can't believe i only found this after stumbled on thejr reaction video. Give it a try, it's good to calm your heart while giggling yet keep your brain workWas this review helpful to you?
Gorgeous but boring and ultimately disappointing
I had been waiting a long time for this!!I'm extremely disappointed, I really wanted to like this but after two strong episodes the story starts getting draggy and boring to the point that the only thing that kept me watching is how beautifull stylized it is. No wonder it took so long for it to be released, and I would've waited longer for a better script. It is by far the best Thai production I've watched, in terms of set design, costume, makeup, history, and world building it's a totally made-up country with fake history and culture and it feels real. Absolutely delightful to watch, story wise however, it's lacking, too slow paced and awkward conversations.
I want to keep watching so badly, I do, only for the beauty of it all but it's so boring that I even started to look away and completely lost focus of what was happening and got so confused that I am sadly dropping it halfway through, maybe I am being hasty, maybe not but I can't anymore.

Episode 5 ?
This long awaited Thai drama doesn’t disappoint. In Episode 5 most of the characters have been introduced. Tension is escalating and romances are rounding out. The cast of senior actors adds a great deal of depth to the story. Some are disappointed there are many more characters than typical BL’s. There are but in this case that adds to the story and this is NO typical BL. I understand some want the characters Charan and Kanin to have already headed to the bedroom but this slow burn is actually making me look forward to each episode. I have not seen anything this grand on Thai or South Korean dramas, BL or not. Kudos to the Domundi team for their vision and dedication to this and previous episodes. 👏Was this review helpful to you?
The Next Prince series is a great, recommend and rewatchable.
Don't come here saying bad things about the series if you didn't watch the whole 14 episodes. This is a great Thai series compared to completed series so far. Just camp in your fave series and hype it You're just jealous of the attention focus on The Next Prince series. It's still great and the bestWas this review helpful to you?
