This drama lives rent free in my mind!!
Actually I completed the drama the same day it ended but I've been seeing mixed reviews on DL where some are rating the drama really low. So I hope that those who haven't watched it don't feel discouraged by such reviews.
Tbh, it's been a long time since I've watched a really good thai BL drama. In a year only few dramas can be the real gems while the others are the typical cringe same storyline dramas. This drama really delivers in terms of showing part of thai culture and character development.It shows something new.
Some are saying that the khemjira (Namping) was acting too much like a damsel in distress. Well, he was supposed to be like that. Mind you this was planned accordingly to how the crews and the actors wanted it. They were referring to how the character of khemjira was in the novel. Imagine a boy being cursed since he was young and not finding any solution to survive. And who comes to rescue him - Pharan (thanks to jet for introducting them). The boy was intrigued that throughout the years Pharan was the one who wanted to break the curse even if it was risky and beyond his abilities.
In my opinion, I think that all the characters were well executed. If khem wasn't portrayed as weak or that he was strong enough to fight his battle, then Pharan wouldn't be needed and the story would be flat. There wasn't one bit where I was bored or skipping scenes. I would gladly wait for the next Saturday.
In conclusion, everyone have there own opinion about the way they watch a drama. For me it was refreshing. Comparing the other dramas that I watched in 2025, this one served and I still watch some recap scenes.
Also, you should really check out the songs from the drama. They are insanely good.
