The story follows Khem, a young man born into a family cursed by a terrifying fate: every male in his bloodline is destined to die a horrific death before reaching the age of 21. To protect him and “hide” him from the spirits, his mother gives him a feminine name, Khemjira, which means “forever safe.”
As Khem approaches his 21st birthday, the protective measures his mother put in place begin to fail. He starts seeing vengeful spirits that are not only haunting him, but actively trying to kill him. In order to survive, Khem and his best friend Jet travel to Ubon Ratchathani to seek help from a powerful shaman.
There, they meet Master Pharan, a young yet exceptionally skilled spiritual protector. Pharan is initially cold and reluctant to help, believing that one should not interfere with another person’s karma. However, as they spend more time together, it is revealed that their souls are bound by a deep-seated grudge and a tragic love story from a past life—one that involves a vengeful spirit named Ramphueng.
Slowly, something begins to shift in Khem and Pharan’s relationship. At first, Pharan tries to deny his growing feelings, refusing to form attachments of any kind. But eventually, even Pharan can no longer deny what is developing between them.
Now the questions:
Can they successfully overcome the curse, and will Khem survive in the end?
How is the curse truly connected to Khem?
And how does everything ultimately end?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Unique drama, because it focuses heavily on Thai folklore, shamanism, and horror elements rather than just romance.
+ The 2nd lead story. And how they're also linked to Khem from his past life.
What I don't like:
- Napatsakorn can't act. He can act well when nothing happens. Well I mean, when he just needs to be a calm boy who is just enjoying his day… But when he needs to act sad, hurt or even jealous, that's when his lack becomes obvious.
- The ending… It's just, they made it too pretty… Everything just peacefully ended like that… Ugh… talk about lazy writing…
Overall this really offers us a unique story about Thai folklore, shamanism, and horror elements rather than just romance.
