"Khemjira" continues to be my favourite of the currently airing series I'm following.
I've also come to appreciate how well Domundi's talent and CP development over the past two years fits with this drama and how clever Domundi and Mandee have been with the casting.
Although it was clear from early episodes of "DMD Friendship the Reality" that Keng and Namping were already close and that their ship was a pre-determined outcome, it's only now that we see how well the projected personalities of the actors that we saw in "Friendship" fit with the roles in "Khemjira": Keng's impassive facade, Namping's expressiveness and vulnerability.
Also, two things strike me about Patji, who plays young Pharan: Firstly, he really does look like a young Keng. Secondly, just as with TeeTee's remarkable development in terms of confidence and presence in the past two years since his debut at the age of 18 in "Friendship", we can see that Patji, although still very young (18), has likewise developed quite a bit since his debut last year in "It Takes Two".
I like Firstone and Tle, but I think their strength lies more in their shared musical talents, which aren't showcased in "Khemjira". They're fine in their roles, but not uniquely so.
