I haven’t read the novel so I might be a bit slow, but I just want to confirm what’s happening at the start of Episode 3 with the flashback to 1937:
1. The older brother with glasses is Wat, right? And he’s reincarnated now as Peem, the male lead (played by Keng)?
2. Back in the 1930s, Khem was a girl (played by Janis), but in the present day reincarnation Khem is now a guy, the second male lead (played by Namping)?
3. Khem also had two close friends back then, Jintana and Chaiada (both girls). They were lovers in the past, and now they’ve been reincarnated as Jet and Chan, both guys who are still close to Khem in this life?
4. Lastly, the younger brother of Wat had feelings for his sister-in-law, but she rejected him. Now he’s a ghost who still loves her. But in the present era, since Khem has been reincarnated as a guy, this ghost’s feelings will eventually shift toward him?
So Keng was the actor who played both Wat (in the 1930s) and Peem (in the present)? If that’s the case, why were the others, who reincarnated from girls to guys, portrayed by different actors and actresses? Wouldn’t it have been more consistent to keep the same actors throughout?
Novel readers (please use spoiler tags!), can you confirm if I’ve got this all correct? I’ve been thinking about it all day and even rewatched Episode 3 just to piece it together. Thank you in advance.
Who are you to tell people not to watch this show? At the end of the day, it’s fiction, not real life. By your…
Your original comment (before you edited) didn’t come across like a neutral “trigger warning,” it read more like a strong warning not to watch at all. Words matter, and the way you framed it made it sound like the show was completely irresponsible and should be avoided.
Also, not every drama needs to spoon-feed the audience with disclaimers or moral lessons. Storytelling isn’t always about labeling what’s good or bad in neon lights. Sometimes it’s messy, complicated, and uncomfortable because life is like that too. Just because a show doesn’t pause to tell the viewer, “This is toxic,” doesn’t mean it’s endorsing it. It might simply be portraying flawed people in a flawed relationship.
And to be fair, shows like KinnPorsche or My Beautiful Man weren’t exactly holding the audience’s hand with trigger warnings either. People debated them endlessly, but fans still understood it was fiction. Same goes here. If someone is sensitive to the topic, absolutely, they should take care of themselves and avoid it. But for everyone else, it’s still their choice to watch and interpret.
A trigger warning is fine, but calling the handling “horrendous” or acting like it’s a moral failure of the show crosses into judgment territory. Viewers are capable of separating fiction from reality, and those who can’t simply shouldn’t watch.
Bottom line: give your trigger warning, but don’t frame it like the show is dangerous or irresponsible. Let people decide for themselves.
I will keep reposting this, because people need to be aware before getting into this show: I have to make a TRIGGER…
Who are you to tell people not to watch this show? At the end of the day, it’s fiction, not real life. By your logic, should every movie or drama that touches on abuse, crime, murder, war, or any dark subject matter be cancelled too? If that were the case, half of Hollywood and the entire K-drama and C-drama industry would vanish overnight.
There are countless shows and films that deal with abuse, violence, or trauma in different ways. Some handle it well, some don’t, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t exist. People can choose for themselves whether they want to watch or not. That’s the whole point of viewer discretion.
Watching “abuse in a marriage” does not mean we support it. No one watches a serial killer movie and thinks, “Wow, I want to do that.” Fiction is where we confront uncomfortable truths. It’s how we explore trauma, redemption, and the darkest parts of humanity, not to glorify them but to understand their impact. That is the point of storytelling: to create tension, challenge empathy, and hold up a mirror to society’s ugliest sides.
And let’s be clear , watching Kemjira does not mean we support “abuse” or that we’re trying to normalize those scenes. It means we understand the difference between fiction and reality, something you clearly don’t get. Millions watch Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or The Handmaid’s Tale, all packed with murder, rape, and assault. Do they all support those acts? Of course not.
The actors, writers, directors, and production crew put in endless hours to create this story, and just because one scene didn’t sit right with you doesn’t mean the entire work deserves to be dismissed. If you can’t separate storytelling from real life, that’s a you problem. Maybe this series just isn’t for you.
Respect your own limits, yes, but also respect other viewers’ right to watch, enjoy, and form their own opinions.
Yet another great episode! The flashback to the 1940s was beautifully executed and really stood out to me. The attention to detail was incredible, from the old TV and heritage house to the vintage cars, clothing styles, and even the haircuts, everything felt authentic and immersive. You can tell the production team put a lot of effort and research into capturing the atmosphere of that era, which made the scenes even more powerful and memorable.
What impressed me even more is that the episode was over an hour long, yet I never once felt bored as the pacing, acting, and storytelling kept me engaged the entire time. It’s rare to see this level of care in a BL and that’s what makes this series shine. For me, this is one of the best Thai BLs of the year and I’m genuinely excited to see where the story goes next. I already can’t wait for the next episode!
I only watched Until We Meet Again and Between Us a few months ago, and I didn’t even recognize Boun at first without the blonde hair. So glad they’re both back! This is my third series with them and episode 1 was amazing, I can’t wait for the remaining 9 episodes.
Wow, after episode 9 there are so many comments calling it rape from both sides. Even if you see it that way, let’s be very clear. This is fiction. It’s not real life.
Are we really going to cancel every show or movie that portrays rape, violence, or morally disturbing themes? If so, half of modern storytelling would disappear. Game of Thrones, The Handmaid’s Tale, 13 Reasons Why, Outlander, Law & Order: SVU, Monster, Kill Bill, Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo all depict horrific acts. Yet they’re praised, awarded, and widely consumed.
Watching dark or controversial content does not mean you support it. No one watches a serial killer movie and thinks, “Wow, I want to do that.” Fiction is where we confront uncomfortable truths. It’s how we explore trauma, redemption, and the darkest parts of humanity, not to glorify them but to understand their impact. That is the point of storytelling: to create tension, challenge empathy, and hold up a mirror to society’s ugliest sides.
If we only consumed stories with perfect morals and flawless characters, we’d lose Breaking Bad, Dexter, Joker, The Godfather, Scarface. Entire genres would vanish.
So no, watching ABO Desire does not mean we support rape or that we are trying to normalize those scenes. It means we understand the difference between fiction and reality, something some people in these comments clearly don’t.
Millions watch Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or The Handmaid’s Tale, all packed with murder, rape, and assault. Do they all support those acts? Of course not.

Just think a little bit and you will get your answers .
My first time watching an Omegaverse lol, and PitBabe doesn’t count. I haven’t read the novel so I’m super confused, but after reading other comments it’s starting to make sense now.
I know both rooms had no lights, but still, how can you not tell who you’re sleeping with?
The voice, the face, the little details, they see each other every single day. It would only make sense if they were blindfolded.
And seriously, after it’s over, wouldn’t you at least turn the light on to check their face before leaving? Like, aren’t you even a little curious? 🤷♂️
So now both of them end up pregnant. Shao You gets pregnant but doesn’t even know who the father is, while GauTu also gets pregnant but at least he knows who the father is.🤣
Please consider watching this on GagaOOLala, and if it doesn’t work then Viki or their YouTube channel instead of illegal platforms.
The actors, crew, and creators worked hard to bring this story to life. They deserve to be supported, not pirated.
If you don’t want to pay or can’t afford it, that’s your personal choice, but don’t come here and promote illegal websites like it’s acceptable. It’s disrespectful to the people who made the series and to fans who choose to support it the right way.
Sharing illegal streaming links is not only unlawful but also deeply disrespectful to the entire production team. Promoting piracy doesn’t just harm the industry, it takes away opportunities from the very people who work so hard to create the content we love.
If you truly care about BL and want to see more quality shows in the future, support them through legal channels. That’s how the industry grows and it’s the least we can do.
Is it really that fast-burning, tho? Both Krailert and Naran have been edging each other through the newspaper's…
I agree with you now, and your explanation really makes sense. Thinking about the 1960s context, with no technology and same-sex relationships being illegal, it becomes much clearer why Krailert’s actions happened the way they did. He was essentially forced by the circumstances, and cheating was really the only way their relationship with Naran could have even started. When you put it that way, it’s hard to blame him, and it makes their story even more understandable and tragic.
1. The older brother with glasses is Wat, right? And he’s reincarnated now as Peem, the male lead (played by Keng)?
2. Back in the 1930s, Khem was a girl (played by Janis), but in the present day reincarnation Khem is now a guy, the second male lead (played by Namping)?
3. Khem also had two close friends back then, Jintana and Chaiada (both girls). They were lovers in the past, and now they’ve been reincarnated as Jet and Chan, both guys who are still close to Khem in this life?
4. Lastly, the younger brother of Wat had feelings for his sister-in-law, but she rejected him. Now he’s a ghost who still loves her. But in the present era, since Khem has been reincarnated as a guy, this ghost’s feelings will eventually shift toward him?
So Keng was the actor who played both Wat (in the 1930s) and Peem (in the present)? If that’s the case, why were the others, who reincarnated from girls to guys, portrayed by different actors and actresses? Wouldn’t it have been more consistent to keep the same actors throughout?

Just like Revenged Love, which had Stay With Me playing on the TV, they’re smart at cross-promoting within their shows.
Even if you see it that way, let’s be very clear. This is fiction. It’s not real life.

So let me get this straight, out of the two scenes:
In the first one, HuaYong knows he slept with Sheng ShaoYou, but Sheng ShaoYou hasno idea.
In the second one, did Gao Tu actually know it was Shen Wen Lang? And did Shen Wen Lang know it was Gao Tu? Sorry, I haven’t read the novel.
The voice, the face, the little details, they see each other every single day. It would only make sense if they were blindfolded.
And seriously, after it’s over, wouldn’t you at least turn the light on to check their face before leaving? Like, aren’t you even a little curious? 🤷♂️
