gut-wrenchingly beautiful
i’ll keep this short and simple: the acting is phenomenal, the story is beautifully twisted and the cinematography is TOP notch. Jeff is brilliant, as always. Keng Harit fed right off of Jeff’s acting gracefully and engfa killed it in her role.I seriously can’t praise the cinematography enough. I think i’ve rewatched this movie three times now.

Pairing makes the Series better
I watched this pretty quickly over the course of a few days and found myself enjoying the pairing’s dynamic. I’m a huge fan of horror/thriller/investigative dramas and this one turned out pretty good.What I enjoyed:
-pairing dynamic
-romance
-the mystery
-supporting characters
What just missed:
-the story started off strong but rushed the last episode
-the romance was the opposite of slow burn, the lead up was a bit too quick
I’d recommend this, would also rewatch it!!

Ghost Story Turned Heartfelt Love
Khemjira was my introduction to Thai BL. I had been watching korean and chinese BLs for quite some time until I seen a few posts about Khemjira that convinced me to try it.I’m a huge horror buff, grew up watching anything from spooky to psychological. This series set a beautiful tone for not only fighting for those you love but also not leaving their side. You and me until the end kind of story.
While yes, the series is slow burn, the romance naturally occurs and progresses from episode to episode, encompassing the storyline like a flower blooming start to finish. Not only is the romance beautiful, the background in Thai culture didn’t feel foreign to witness as an interfan, it felt very much ingrained into the story’s essence.
By the end, I felt myself tearing up and welcoming their story to my shelf. I chose not to read the novel because kengnamping’s impression of the characters is not something i want to compare to the novel characters, I truly enjoyed their take that much.
What i liked the most:
-chemistry
-music
-both pairings fit perfect for the story
-thai culture
-cinematography
-the setting is gorgeous
-the NC scenes made me cry they were so beautifully done

side characters have stronger story appeal
i was excited for this series going into it and massively enjoyed the first two episodes but i’ve lost interest for the main pairing by the end of episode 5. I did read some of the novel to get an idea on the characters and storyline. Five episodes in and not much has progressed with the main pairing, it feels like i’ve watched the same episode five times. While I know it’s still technically relatively early in the series, I’m slightly bored and find myself skipping a bit. I’m much more fond of the secondary characters and their interactions with each other. If I pick up the next episode it will be to see what lies ahead for Duang’s friends vs Duang & Qin.Was this review helpful to you?
