🌪 RESET – Episode 6 Breakdown & TheoryWe’re past the halfway mark – Episode 6 out of 10.
And this is how you build a show that speaks to the heart, the mind, and every possible sense.
The creator – A. Natthaphong Wongkaweepairat – who both wrote and directed it, is simply a genius.
Every episode is precise, every clue is in place, and every emotional beat hits like a punch.
And what they did in this episode?
It was clear it was time to connect us even deeper to the couple –
and they gave us a full episode for that: emotional, bold, and focused –
with no distractions and nothing unnecessary.
💞 The intimate scene:
There was an intimate scene with a certain boldness,
but it didn’t go too far – it was emotionally accurate.
I didn’t need another over-the-top scene.
Just emotion. A smart script. Precise direction.
The little moments – the look, the breath, the touch –
were a thousand times more powerful than any dramatic editing.
And of course –
Pond Ponlawit Ketprapakorn (Armin) and Peterpan Tadsapon Wiwitawan (Thada) –
two incredible actors.
Their emotion breaks through the screen.
I believe them in every second –
and that’s the difference between a good actor… and one you never forget.
🌈 Emotional breakdown:
This episode felt like the calm before the storm.
And the reveal that they knew each other as kids? It destroyed me.
I felt in my heart there was something deeper –
and it came at exactly the right moment.
And now... we’re all scared.
Because the big hit is still coming.
💡 My theory:
I don’t see multiple theories –
I’m connecting everything into one complete arc.
And my heart is not ready.
🧠 Here’s what will happen:
Everything will lead us back to the beginning –
to the party at Armin’s house, just like in Episode 1.
But this time… something is different.
Thada is there.
The dynamic has changed.
But still – something terrible happens.
Poisoning? A push? An accident?
Either way – Armin dies again.
And that will be the end of the dream.
💥 Then:
Pond as Armin wakes up in shock – in a hospital.
Lying down, gasping, confused.
He turns his head –
and sees Peterpan as Thada, shocked by Armin waking up.
Armin hugs him tight.
And Thada hugs him right back.
And everything becomes clear.
Everything we saw was a coma dream.
Every conversation, every emotional connection, every moment –
was a psychological process Armin created while unconscious.
🧩 The clues were there from the start:
"Don’t talk about your death… the pain is so strong I can’t breathe."
"I’m scared this is just a dream… and I’ll wake up."
This wasn’t imagination.
It was Armin processing what Thada was actually saying to him
as he sat beside him in the hospital bed.
🙏 The third wish?
Thada will wish for Armin to wake up.
To come back to their life.
To their reality.
And Armin?
At first, he won’t understand.
But then… he’ll open his eyes –
and realize it all… was his dream.
And that. Will. Destroy. Us.

Burning chemistry, royal tension – and scenes that go all the way.
Starring Zee Pruk Panich & NuNew Chawarin Perdpiriyawong🎭 Story & Characters
The Next Prince presents a forbidden love story between a tough, loyal bodyguard and a charismatic, uncompromising prince.
The series builds a slow yet charged dynamic between two characters whose class differences are clear – but their emotional pull breaks through all boundaries.
✅ What works great:
Spot-on casting:
Zee brings to the screen a quiet, introverted, tough character – full of self-control, but overflowing with emotion that speaks through his eyes.
NuNew – finally – blooms in a role that fits him perfectly: stubborn, goal-driven, with natural charm right where it needs to be.
The playful edge and light sass he brings to the character gives it spark – and makes the emotional moments hit even harder.
The chemistry between the leads:
It’s present in every frame. No need for excess dialogue – just glances, silence, and rising tension.
And yes – it’s obvious there’s real love in the air off screen too. 😉
Backstory twists:
A childhood trauma revealed in episode 6 adds depth to the bodyguard’s character.
Even though it arrives abruptly, with no buildup – it’s still a powerful moment.
🔥 Let’s talk about Episode 7 & 10:
Of course, we can’t ignore the scenes at the end of episodes 7 and 10 –
some of the boldest, most daring scenes in recent BL.
Huge respect to Zee and NuNew for their courage, and to the writers and director for not holding back.
These scenes break open all the tension and emotion that’s been simmering throughout the series – and finally give us the release we were waiting for.
They’re intense, intimate, and beautifully executed .
⚖️ Pacing, Conflict & Plot:
One of the weaker points is the pacing –
Entire episodes stretch with filler scenes that don’t always move the story or characters forward.
This affects the emotional weight – especially for the main and secondary couples.
The promise of action shown in the trailers mostly exists in the opening episode –
but like we often see, the creators open strong and then pull back.
If you start at full speed, you have to keep up the momentum.
Now, finally, the feeling of drama and high stakes is beginning to pay off.
The secondary couple got a surprising – even shocking – twist.
But it still lacks context: how did they meet? What really connects them?
One scene hints at family violence – and that’s where it stops.
By episode 10 we still don’t fully understand their story – and it feels incomplete.
🧭 Final thoughts:
The Next Prince brings strong romantic chemistry, a fresh and intriguing world, and classic class-based tension.
The locations are absolutely beautiful – every scene feels polished and rich.
The costumes? Not a single weak spot. Every outfit is detailed, deliberate, and fitting.
Even NuNew’s book prop shows how much thought was given to the smallest visual details.
And now – we’re finally starting to feel the drama we were promised from the start
