so i just started ep7. and guess what, im a hoe. i am not loyal to any ship. i ship whoever looks good, together and prim and pharan look good together. esp with that cute backstory? im sold. pharankhem better step up before i jump completely off ship 💅

i say it is worth it. but if you dont wanna wait every week for 1 episode, i say save it to binge watch later. you should expect a little horror, a little comedy, a little romance, and curiosity about the characters and their past. chemistry for main is okay. second couple chemistry is very good.

not quite traditional but it's a mixture. like the wrapped cloth and draping can be found in traditional but the fabric is too casual. it looks like it's just a stylistic choice for the show, not really trying to be traditional or cultural.

by romance do you mean in a relationship? if so, then they're not in a relationship yet. but there is obvious signs of interest. it started loud in ep5, ep6 was sorta wishy washy. then ep7 is gonna continue more of their development, i believe.

I'm not trying to justify anything, I'm asking you to not put words in KengNamping's mouth. The way you wrote this as if Keng and Namping themselves call international fans dumb, is what I'm telling you to not do. You're basically implicating Keng and Namping and the team in something they never said or intend.

I saw that interview. to me, it sounds like they're focusing on thai viewers, and not even mentioning international fans, probably because they understand if even thai people cannot get this style of story telling, then international fans are out of the question to even worry about. not sure how you interpretated this as them overestimating international fans intelligence. you're putting words into their mouths saying "those are Knp own words" and can cause misunderstandings from people who did not watch the interview or understand the words they're saying.

For public record, KengNamping did not say any thing to slight international fans. They were simply expressing worries about viewers (particularly thai) reception of the show.

yeah he's not obligated to help, but he's not obligated to be rude either. he's capable of talking normal and behaving normal with everyone except khem. that's the problem. it's that he drew a line but keeps stepping over it, then get pissed off when khem responds. khem falling for a rando shaman he just met is already another conversation, but we can't say pharan is blameless here. the hate for his clown behavior is justified.

amen. it's a popular trope in bl. the woman who happens to like the guy gets treated like complete trash. and she's usually written as trash too, to justify people's anger toward her. many bl fans show support for the main couple by completely ripping the girl apart. i hope Prima isn't written to be like that. it looks like she genuinely has no clue. because since when has pharan willingly and explicitly shown affection toward khem. he's stone cold and harsh most the time. unless you got ghost boys whispering in your ear about the bts or a nosy jet letting you in on the gossip, it's not an obvious thing to see.

so there's 12 episodes. i was just reminded of this the other day after seeing a meme. do yall think this is gonna suffer the ep 11 curse? 😬😂

I completely agree with you about Khem. He's known about his curse since young and it just feels like he's achieved nothing in terms of helping himself. If I was in Khem's shoes, I won't even wait to meet Pharan, I'd have ordained and become a shaman myself lol.

I also agree about the reincarnation thing. I want to believe that Khem's budding feelings has no connection to their past but with how deep he's already fallen in such a short amount of time, it's hard to not think there was influence. Same for Pharan as well. Although he's being stubborn about it drawing boundaries, his internal feelings don't reflect his actions. Although I can argue Pharan has known about Khem longer, so maybe his feelings can be explained away with that. But Khem, definitely fell too hard too fast.

Of course it's not that I won't eat it up if they fall in love quick, but it's just a note to put out there that their romance development may be a little lazy, like you said.

1. they explored more about how the town works. people have problems they need fixing and people with powers go in to help. the couple's relationship that is in turmoil also reflect khem's and pharans.
2. they explored more about jet and charn.
3. we got to see a bit about other sides of rampheung and her past. there could have been more, but given the context of this episode is focused on fleshing out main character's situations, i'll let it slide.
4. the paralell between charn and khem is quite nice. toward the end when charn was trying to convince jet about past and present commitment stuffs, it sounds more like he was trying to convince himself.

i thought this episode was slightly more balanced than ep 5, so it's a lot more enjoyable, as opposed to just squealing over a ship. there's more things to chew on in this episode.

i'm not that excited to see the love quad that's gonna happen because i know it's gonna be a lot of push and pull, but hey, if they can play it well, i'll gladly eat.

honestly pharan pissed me tf off in this episode. keng you're hot af but pharan gtfo of my face before i bich slap you. anyway, hopefully they explore more about rampheung next ep 🙌

overall, a good episode imo. didn't get to see the jealousy i expected but we got other good things instead.

omg did rampheung stop the lady from throwing the baby? you know what, if they did throw her baby in the past, girl, i get why you cursed them. clock them, generational hate ftw 💅💅

was gonna say this since earlier but they casted the male/female counterparts so well. jintana and chayada are also very similar to jet and charn. props 👏👏👏

im only 20 minutes in ep 6, i already have my sock full of pennies ready to slug a man named Pharan.

okay so i get that khem has a crush on pharan, right, that part i get but is it really THAT sad to be rejected? sure pharan was helping him out bits and here until now and can be viewed as "mutual" feelings or whatever, but i feel the feelings are still too shallow for this much sorrow. unless those feelings are still khemika's, then i get it, which then just opens up the next problem, is khem, himself, does not like pharan, but it is the influence of khemika. so when's khemjira and pharan's story gonna start? this could still be khemika and pawat's story, just through new bodies, which should already be over by now.

pharan rejecting khem harshly because of what he knows and how he wants to separate from pawat is understandable, but denial is a river in Egypt, it just makes him a hypocrite. lawrd help these two. amen 🙏

side note: i get why people think namping's crying looks bad, but imo, it wasn't bad, it was just misplaced. khem sobbed for about 30 seconds then went back to normal. if he had cried like that (the sobbing) at a funeral of a loved one it would have made sense but at a rejection from a man you've just met for a week or two or so? yeah, misplaced imo.

okay, so im gonna start ep 6. let's see where my opinions are. for now, i am excited to see jealous pharan. i've been watching lots of interviews promoting this Phakapong arc and it seems like it will be good, based on Keng and Namping's constant jokes about the guy appearing in ep 6. Will it live up to the jokes? let's see.

imo 8.4 is pretty high. anything above 8.0 should be considered a good score. idk how people view scores on mdl, but if you look at the 'top shows' tab, there's only 25 shows that have a 9.0+ score. that's out of 5,000 shows apparently. take that into consideration and that khemjira is a BL (more niche), it being 8.4 is actually pretty high. like some mainstream dramas, like queen of tears, that were super popular are only at 8.7.

objectively, charn.
subjectively, pharan.
dejectively, the doggo. dotty needs more screen timeeee!

idk how it actually works in this series, but irl, it's a community effort. he works his magic to keep people safe, people support him through donations. it's likely that it works similarly in this series too, if they're following traditions. it could also just be that he's from a rich family, since as we saw in ep 5, his parents and the parent of Phrima (the rich girl that came) are friends.
