⭐️ The OST brought me here and I HAVE NO REGRET !! BEST SERIES I've watch in awhile
I’ve been watching BL dramas for over 5–6 years now — Thai, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, etc. I’ve seen most of what’s out there, and honestly, Khemjira really stands out as one of my absolute favorites. It’s rare for a series to pull me in so completely, but this one completely did. It was so good that I even rewatched the entire thing just a week after finishing it. I also rarely make a review but this series is too GOODDD to not share my thought so other can experience what i felt watching it .

🌀 Story & Plot
What truly impressed me was the storytelling. For once, I watched an entire series without skipping scenes or speeding things up , that almost never happens for me. These days there are too many BL coming out without actual plot or plot that are too cliche. But as for Khemjira, the plot was engaging from the very first episode, fast-paced yet emotionally rich. There were no unnecessary side stories or filler moments; everything served a purpose. The story telling was beautifully done.
ANDD that plot twist, the revelation that the monk was actually the son of the Ramphueng — was done so well! I especially loved how they developed her character; I went from seeing her as a villain to genuinely sympathizing with her. It’s rare for a BL drama to balance supernatural elements, emotional depth, and moral complexity this effectively. The way they showcase each person story without over shadowing the main lead and main plot was amazing. The writer / directors all did very well.

🎭 Acting & Characters
THISSS!!!!!! The cast did an incredible job bringing the story to life. Keng is effortlessly charismatic and, let’s be honest, absolutely stunning on screen. But what really surprised me was Namping’s performance, his acting was phenomenal. His emotional scenes, especially when he cried, felt so natural and heartfelt. It’s not common in Thai BLs to see such strong emotional delivery, but he nailed it. Every tear felt real, and it made the story hit even harder. Not just the main lead but all the side characters play their role so well.
I also want to praise the actress that played Ramphueng, because she was a vital part of the series and she did amazing. She got me sobbing with her EP 12. I absolutely despise her but completely sympathize with her. I just wanted to give her a big hug.
⸻
🤝 Friendship
One of my favorite things about Thai BLs is how they portray friendship, and Khemjira captures that beautifully. The bond between the main lead and Jet was one of the highlights of the series for me. Jet’s loyalty, love, and quiet support were heartwarming, and his relationship with Cham was just adorable. Their friendship added so much emotional warmth and balance to the overall story. The way not only Jet but his sister Jane was willing to put their life in danger in order to save Khem was so beautiful.

🎵 OST & Atmosphere
BEST OST!!!!!!
The OST deserves special praise. The main song, “Mantra” by Keng, is what initially made me curious about the series . I was showering when i first heard the song. I thought it was JEFF but when i realized it was Keng and a ost from this series . I immediately start series. I’m so glad it did. It’s hauntingly beautiful and perfectly fits the tone of the story. Every track was used thoughtfully to enhance the emotional beats and atmosphere. The soundtrack truly elevated the entire viewing experience.
⸻
💫 Final Thoughts
Khemjira is one of those rare BL dramas that checks every box — strong plot, great pacing, emotional depth, talented actors, meaningful friendships, and a stunning soundtrack. It’s a refreshing reminder that BLs can be both entertaining and deeply moving.
As someone who has been watching BLs for years across different countries, I can confidently say that Khemjira deserves way more recognition. It’s not just a good BL . it’s an excellent series in its own right.
Rating: 10/10 (or honestly, 10,000/10 if I could!)
