A rare gem with all the right elements
While I do rate shows depending on my enjoyment of them, I think I would've also rated it a 10 just for how it was made, for the story, the acting, and everything, so I actually feel quite happy with giving it such a good score.
Khemjira is surprisingly dark considering we rarely have such dark and horror element BL shows but they pull it off, even until the end. It doesn't forget in the middle that what it was supposed to be but goes through from ep 1 to ep 12. Further, I enjoyed that even the villainess of the story had a proper background and it wasn't just a misunderstanding or was just a short flashback. No, we saw in full how everyone's life and karma is intertwined and it made for a very enticing and breathtaking story.
Considering that quite a lot of rookie actors are in the show, the acting is quite stellar. There are some scenes where you miss a little bit of emotion but overall it works and the acting works well for the characters we have in front of us. And every single actor had at least a few scenes where they showed so much emotion that I just wanted to cry and then break out in a slow clap, praising them. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of them in the future.
And finally, the last episode, or finale, can make or break a show and I have to say: it works. The finale is absolutely 100% perfect how it is done. It made me laugh, cry, squeal and stayed true to its characters as well as fulfilling a fan's wishes. Perfect.
Overall, Khemjira provides the rarely seen gem in BL where just everything works out and is perfect. No storyline that lags too much, no character that loses itself on the way, but just a story that you dive into and want to follow to see what happens. Biggest compliments to the whole production team and everyone involved!
