NLE

Opposite to Secret Lover (Taiwan BL) where they cleared the misunderstanding in 30 seconds, here we’re stuck in a dragged-out mess.
I don’t mind a slow burn, but let’s be real: if I’d been raped, I’d want answers immediately. I wouldn’t disappear for days, randomly show up, and then throw in a kiss like some tragic Romeo and Juliet performance. That’s ridiculous. I’d demand to know exactly what happened to me.
And the most frustrating part? Knight has been trying again and again to explain, but Mild refuses to listen. It’s infuriating. Stop dragging this out for drama’s sake. We better get our damn answers next week, not in the finale, because if they stretch this nonsense any longer, it’s just disrespectful to the entire storyline.

Same. Waited for 55 minutes with no explanation at all and now we have to wait another week. The director clearly loves to test our patience.

I’ve lived in Australia all my life, and you rarely see cases of male rape in the news. I know it happens, but so often it goes unreported.

Reading about the UK was heartbreaking, Reynhard Sinaga, an Indonesian serial rapist, was convicted of 159 sex offences, including 136 rapes of young men in Manchester. He even filmed the assaults. It’s absolutely sickening. My heart goes out to all those men in England who had to endure this trauma. They deserve justice, healing, and our prayers.

Answering your question, yes, when it comes to male on male rape, it’s normal in Western culture to go to the hospital and get tested. But in many Asian cultures, it can be extremely embarrassing to do so, especially when the assault involves another man. Some countries even ban same sex marriage, and in the worst cases, you could end up in jail if caught. This might be one of the reasons why they didn’t go. In Thailand, the authorities probably wouldn’t care either, as the system is not as strict or protective as in Western countries.

I haven’t read the novel, but my guess is that Mild had a nightmare in which he was assaulted. Knight then came in and held him to calm him down. I’ve watched hundreds of BLs, and it’s very common for one lead to have a nightmare and the other to comfort them with a cuddle, it happens all the time. That’s just my theory, but I could be wrong.

I have the same questions and this is what I wrote last week.

Episode 5 left me furious and heartbroken, and I have three things I can’t ignore.

First if my younger brother was raped in my own house, I don’t care if it was my best friend or a complete stranger, I would call the police immediately. Drunk or not, friend or not, nothing excuses that. You don’t fight him yourself, you let the law deal with it. This isn’t some superhero movie where you take revenge with your fists, this is real life, and it’s your own brother who has just been through something traumatic.

Second I cannot forgive that girl for exposing the truth like that. Peer pressure is no excuse. You don’t stand in front of everyone and rip someone’s soul apart. You pull Mild aside, you tell him in private, you give him dignity. Imagine the humiliation of learning you were raped while your friends watch in shock. That’s not just painful, that’s soul-crushing. The shame, the humiliation, the unbearable silence that would follow you forever.

Third the pieces don’t add up. Mild wasn’t drunk, he was asleep, and the flashback doesn’t sit right with me. If Knight really did it, he would have been fully aware. And Knight himself kept repeating, “let me explain, let me explain.” That can’t just be brushed aside. I’m not excusing him, but something feels off. Maybe it wasn’t him, maybe there’s more. All I know is the truth isn’t as simple as it looks, and we need to brace ourselves for what comes next.

I remember watching this old Hong Kong drama years ago where something similar happened. The stepdad drugged and raped his stepson and then hid under the bed. Later, the boy’s drunk friend accidentally fell onto the bed, and everyone assumed he was the one who did it. He even got sentenced to jail. It wasn’t until much later, after a DNA test, that the truth came out and they discovered it was actually the stepdad all along. That’s why I feel like we shouldn’t judge too quickly here, let’s wait for the next episodes, because the story might not be as straightforward as it seems.

is that their offical YT channel National Drama League?

I feel so sorry for Mild after everything he went through last episode. Yes I’m glad you need your own me time and space to think. But this episode he’s the childiest ever. In order to move on, you have to face what happened to you, not just run away. If you don’t feel like talking, at least text your family and friends so they know you’re safe. You can’t ghost everyone for days. In real life they’d already be filing a missing person report.

During this episode Knight countless times said he wants to explain to you, but Mild never listened. Just a couple of minutes of your time doesn’t even hurt.

And then the whole “returning the kiss” thing? Please. By that thinking, what’s next? Having sex again just to give it back? Makes no sense at all.

Waited for 55 minutes with no explanation at all and now we have to wait another week. The director clearly loves to test our patience.

Those three boys are bullies and pricks but they do not deserve to be eaten. They did not commit some major crime like killing someone or raping someone. No one in this world is perfect and everyone has made mistakes, including you. That does not mean they deserve to be eaten.

And honestly, you must really hate The Next Prince because almost every one of your comments is about how bad it is. You even said before that you wanted the company to go bankrupt. Yet here you are still watching Khemjira, produced by the same company. That is contradictory. One minute you want them to fail and the next you are still consuming their content.

Just think before you talk. Imagine if the company actually went bankrupt like you wished. Hundreds of people such as actors, staff, directors, crew members, makeup artists, camera operators and even interns would all lose their jobs. These are real people with families to feed, not just nameless faces on a screen. Do you really think they all deserve to suffer because one drama was not to your taste?

Not all companies make perfect shows. Even top studios like GMMTV, Netflix or HBO have hits and flops. For every Game of Thrones there is a Velma. For every Not Me there is a Water Boyy. That is how the industry works. You cannot expect perfection every single time. Just because you personally did not like one series does not mean the entire company deserves to go bankrupt.

We get it, The Next Prince is a flop for you, but do you really need to keep bringing it up again and again? Enough already. Try being positive for once and move on.

I’ve seen so many negative reviews just because this series is 60 episodes of only 2 minutes each, and honestly, that’s unfair. The actors, directors, staff, and crew put in countless hours to bring this project to life. It’s not easy to film and produce something of this scale, and their effort deserves respect, not dismissal.

Yes, I get it, 60 vertical, scrolling episodes at 1 to 2 minutes each can feel annoying. But can’t we focus on what actually matters? The acting, the plot, the cinematography. Why not enjoy the story for what it is instead of nitpicking every little thing? Being negative about the format only takes away from the effort, talent, and heart that went into making this series.

For me, what matters most is the quality of the show itself. And here, all three deliver. The plot is engaging, the acting is strong, the cinematography is stunning, and the story flows so well that the 60 episodes flew by. I genuinely enjoyed every second of it.

What frustrates me even more is seeing people rating it 1/10 without even starting the series. Are we really going to rate every short format series a 1/10 just because of the structure? That’s not criticism, that’s dismissal. Many great shows have been unfairly judged because of unusual formats, like Love Mechanics which began as a short project before becoming a full series, or Seven Project with its one episode arcs. Once people gave them a proper chance, they saw the value behind the structure.

And to everyone leaving negative comments, let me ask: do you even realize how much effort the actors poured their heart and soul into? Is it fair to blame them for the production team’s format choice? They don’t decide the length of each episode. Imagine working endless hours, giving everything you’ve got, only to be slapped with lazy, negative comments from people who can’t look past the runtime. It’s ridiculous and honestly disrespectful to the entire cast and crew who made this possible.

All I’m saying is: give this series a chance before judging. Watch it with an open mind, you won’t regret it.

With a spoiler tag, can you please tell me the difference from the novel and the series, next week is the finale so i dont mind spoiler, thank you

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

I haven’t read the novel so I might be a bit slow, but I just want to confirm what’s happening at the start of Episode 3 with the flashback to 1937:

1. The older brother with glasses is Wat, right? And he’s reincarnated now as Peem, the male lead (played by Keng)?

2. Back in the 1930s, Khem was a girl (played by Janis), but in the present day reincarnation Khem is now a guy, the second male lead (played by Namping)?

3. Khem also had two close friends back then, Jintana and Chaiada (both girls). They were lovers in the past, and now they’ve been reincarnated as Jet and Chan, both guys who are still close to Khem in this life?

4. Lastly, the younger brother of Wat had feelings for his sister-in-law, but she rejected him. Now he’s a ghost who still loves her. But in the present era, since Khem has been reincarnated as a guy, this ghost’s feelings will eventually shift toward him?

So Keng was the actor who played both Wat (in the 1930s) and Peem (in the present)? If that’s the case, why were the others, who reincarnated from girls to guys, portrayed by different actors and actresses? Wouldn’t it have been more consistent to keep the same actors throughout?

Novel readers (please use spoiler tags!), can you confirm if I’ve got this all correct? I’ve been thinking about it all day and even rewatched Episode 3 just to piece it together. Thank you in advance.

Your original comment (before you edited) didn’t come across like a neutral “trigger warning,” it read more like a strong warning not to watch at all. Words matter, and the way you framed it made it sound like the show was completely irresponsible and should be avoided.

Also, not every drama needs to spoon-feed the audience with disclaimers or moral lessons. Storytelling isn’t always about labeling what’s good or bad in neon lights. Sometimes it’s messy, complicated, and uncomfortable because life is like that too. Just because a show doesn’t pause to tell the viewer, “This is toxic,” doesn’t mean it’s endorsing it. It might simply be portraying flawed people in a flawed relationship.

And to be fair, shows like KinnPorsche or My Beautiful Man weren’t exactly holding the audience’s hand with trigger warnings either. People debated them endlessly, but fans still understood it was fiction. Same goes here. If someone is sensitive to the topic, absolutely, they should take care of themselves and avoid it. But for everyone else, it’s still their choice to watch and interpret.

A trigger warning is fine, but calling the handling “horrendous” or acting like it’s a moral failure of the show crosses into judgment territory. Viewers are capable of separating fiction from reality, and those who can’t simply shouldn’t watch.

Bottom line: give your trigger warning, but don’t frame it like the show is dangerous or irresponsible. Let people decide for themselves.

Who are you to tell people not to watch this show? At the end of the day, it’s fiction, not real life. By your logic, should every movie or drama that touches on abuse, crime, murder, war, or any dark subject matter be cancelled too? If that were the case, half of Hollywood and the entire K-drama and C-drama industry would vanish overnight.

There are countless shows and films that deal with abuse, violence, or trauma in different ways. Some handle it well, some don’t, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t exist. People can choose for themselves whether they want to watch or not. That’s the whole point of viewer discretion.

Watching “abuse in a marriage” does not mean we support it. No one watches a serial killer movie and thinks, “Wow, I want to do that.” Fiction is where we confront uncomfortable truths. It’s how we explore trauma, redemption, and the darkest parts of humanity, not to glorify them but to understand their impact. That is the point of storytelling: to create tension, challenge empathy, and hold up a mirror to society’s ugliest sides.

And let’s be clear , watching Kemjira does not mean we support “abuse” or that we’re trying to normalize those scenes. It means we understand the difference between fiction and reality, something you clearly don’t get. Millions watch Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or The Handmaid’s Tale, all packed with murder, rape, and assault. Do they all support those acts? Of course not.

The actors, writers, directors, and production crew put in endless hours to create this story, and just because one scene didn’t sit right with you doesn’t mean the entire work deserves to be dismissed. If you can’t separate storytelling from real life, that’s a you problem. Maybe this series just isn’t for you.

Respect your own limits, yes, but also respect other viewers’ right to watch, enjoy, and form their own opinions.

Yet another great episode! The flashback to the 1940s was beautifully executed and really stood out to me. The attention to detail was incredible, from the old TV and heritage house to the vintage cars, clothing styles, and even the haircuts, everything felt authentic and immersive. You can tell the production team put a lot of effort and research into capturing the atmosphere of that era, which made the scenes even more powerful and memorable.

What impressed me even more is that the episode was over an hour long, yet I never once felt bored as the pacing, acting, and storytelling kept me engaged the entire time. It’s rare to see this level of care in a BL and that’s what makes this series shine. For me, this is one of the best Thai BLs of the year and I’m genuinely excited to see where the story goes next. I already can’t wait for the next episode!

It’s free on YouTube, stop promoting illegal websites. We need to support actors by watching it on legal platforms

Did you watch episode 3 at 51mins mark ? BOC never dissapoint with their NC scenes

He is stunning

GMMTV really knows how to promote their series. This is already the second vampire storyline they’ve released this year.

Just like Revenged Love, which had Stay With Me playing on the TV, they’re smart at cross-promoting within their shows.
