Worth a shot!

I was originally not going to watch this show because I do not like body swap tropes but I caved in anyway because it was a GL, and I enjoyed most of it. I was not totally in to the kiss scene(s) where they were still trapped in each other bodies but I can look past that. I loved the dynamics between all of the characters like Print's family or the girls with their managers, although towards the end I started to wonder, "Do they not have any other friends besides their managers and that one dude?" I was not a fan of the ending honestly, it felt sorta rushed but the little wedding was pretty cute. Overall, the story was decent, it didn't impact me in any particular way but it was cute and chill for the most part. I loved Wanmai and Saifon as the second couple, they were messy and it was a really fun contrast between them and Print and Rey. The backstories for each of the main four characters were quite interesting and I honestly wished we had seen a little bit more of Wanmai and Saifon's past together. I really hope we get to see PamArhoung and LinnPraew as maybe fixed pairs and see them in future projects because they have such good chemistry!! This show is totally worth the watch because there will definitely be something that you will like and for me, that was Wanmai and Saifon!

Funny, dramatic, extremely frustrating but rather satisfying?

Rather late to the hype but better late than never and as someone who typically is not a fan of historical pieces I quite liked it mostly...I think.

In terms of the story, I found it pretty decent, there were times where it became background noise but there were a lot of times where I was really hooked in the story. Except I feel like there were way too many love scenes/NC scenes that almost never added anything to the plot and it personally did nothing for me so I kind of wish I had watched the uncut version instead. The storyline was honestly really messy in a neutral sense, like some of the plot points were genuinely confusing but some of them were so well thought out and intriguing. I like how they had that one flashback scene for Pat, which kind of explains her reaction towards Pin and Anin's relationship but I sorta wish they had touched a bit more on that. I loved Prik and Pia, absolutely hilarious and I found the show to be pretty funny at times. I found myself rather confused on what Pin's status was in terms of royalty, sometimes she was a commoner sometimes she was respected as royalty but she (and Pat?) seemed and felt like a glorified servant to me at times. The build up in the last few episodes was so good, and the resolve was really satisfying and I really did love the ending, I found it quite beautiful honestly, I shed a tear. The time skips were a bit frustrating though because they hardly ever looked older but it is not a HUGE deal since it is not that important?

The acting and the casting were amazing, the cast was genuinely perfect like it could not be better. The costuming, the hair, the locations, everything was really really pretty and I loved seeing their different outfits and hairstyles throughout the series and all the places that they go to. Especially Anin, she probably had the best taste in fashion in my opinion, haha.

A genuine masterpiece.

Khemjira has been one of the greatest Thai shows I have ever seen this year let alone in my entire life. It has a captivating story and amazing cinematography, I rotated throughout every emotion while watching this series. The soundtrack is absolutely addicting and the opening sequence is SO cool. I loved every character in the main cast as well as most of the side characters, even the main villain, Ramphueng. Her backstory makes you FEEL. Seeing her backstory and seeing the curse play out through every life was genuinely bone chilling. Everything leading up to that moment started making sense, it makes you go "Ohhhh" when you watch it. I loved the historical stuff and the Buddhism and mythology, it was all just so good, especially as someone who had previously studied/learned about some of this stuff. I absolutely loved this series and the only thing I really did not like were how long the NC/love scenes were. I may have accidently watched the uncut version(?) but I felt like those scenes added nothing and were just TOO long to the point where I just could not watch it any further. The ending gave great closure for not only Ramphueng but also the two couples. Everything truly came to a full circle in the end and it was really beautiful. This show is definitely worth the watch, it is a thrilling story about romance, friendship, and destiny.
