Khemjira out of context
I'm so glad these two got their shit together in this episode right before it hit the fan (Thanks for reminding us that this BL is also a HORROR, Ramphueng) because this image of Khem looking at Pharan incredibly crushed by yet another rejection, BEFORE the rejection even happened will fucking haunt me. Namping is a phenomenal actor, and his skill really lies in the eyes. Like you can see how hurt and confused he is. And then the scene that occurs after Khem reads Prim's note??
Like...
This shit?
This fucking hurts man.
His "I'm utterly devastated, but I'm gonna smile and pretend everything is okay because even though you just rejected me for the millionth time and despite the fact that we both know you care for me, I want you to be happy" smile will fucking stay with me until I die.
Namping, the actor you are. 100000000% deserved Creator of the Year Award.
"If crying makes you feel better just let it out. But if you're done crying, read it for some good laughs, so you forget those dark times. Don't cry on the book though, I borrowed it."

KHEMJIRA | EP. 12
Perhaps fate has bound our souls
Destined to love through highs and lows
Just know I'll hold your hand and never let go
the camera switching to inside the mosquito net once peem is inside khem is still so crazy
It's just the sweetest good bye because they both know it's a 'see you later' and an 'I love you' and filled with promise, not separation.
Well that was fucking fantastic. Turns out you can have a layered story with several characters, complex lore, different types of relationships, still have romance at the centre without letting it bulldoze everything else, give it a happy ending, and actually make it all make sense. Who knew?
source? i could just tell
love the attention to detail in khemjira. like rampueng finding a bunch of spirits nearby from a battlefield seems very convenient and out of nowhere since peem just said he cleared the area of spirits. but ep7 already established that theres an issue within thailand of covering up and not teaching about battles or massacres for politcal reasons. so there being an oft overlooked site of mass death is not so far fetched.
“do you think there’s a world where people of the same gender can get married?”
“even if we can’t get married, you’ll always be the one I love in this life or any other.”
“you’re the only one my heart belongs to in this life and every life to come.”
The ladies are finally in a world where they can be together. I love that for them. Of course, now they're gentlemen, but that's just a minor detail.
