Khemjira may not be creating as much buzz yet, but after just two episodes, it has already proven itself to be a gem worth watching. From the very beginning, I found myself hooked by the story. What stands out the most is the balance it strikes between mystery, horror, and romance - elements that often fall into clichés in Thai BL dramas. Here, however, the execution feels refreshing and well thought out.
This is my first time watching both main actors, and I must say they left a strong impression on me. Their performances feel natural and convincing, and the chemistry between them builds beautifully against the chilling backdrop of the story. Much credit goes to the strong writing and careful direction - the horror aspect is enhanced with well-done CG effects, which avoid the overly dramatic or "cringe" feel seen in some lower-quality productions. Instead, the show successfully creates an atmosphere that is eerie yet engaging, drawing viewers deeper into the mystery with each scene.
Another pleasant surprise is the second lead, Jet (Khem's friend). His acting adds depth to the narrative, and his screen presence reminds me of GMMTV's Mix, both in features and in the way he carries himself. I truly believe he deserves praise for bringing extra charm to the show.
What excites me even more is that Khemjira is based on a novel. After watching these episodes, I am genuinely curious to explore the source material - hopefully, an English translation will be available for international fans soon.
Khemjira deserves more recognition and a wider audience. It's rare to see a BL series that blends horror and romance so seamlessly. If the upcoming episodes maintain this quality, I'm confident it will become one of the standout Thai BL dramas of the year.
