glad to know you felt the same way about all the points i mentioned. and yeah, as viewers, the best thing we can do is support every underrated gem that truly deserves more recognition. because at the end of the day, great storytelling shouldn’t go unnoticed just because it isn’t the most hyped. these kinds of series deserve the same love and appreciation for the hard work, passion, and heart that everyone behind them poured into making them.

my personal rating after watching all three:

luat: 10/10
for me, this is the strongest in terms of writing, emotional depth, acting, and character development. it doesn’t rely on fan service or overly dramatic moments to make an impact. it tells its story with sincerity, and that’s what makes it unforgettable.

khemjira: 10/10
honestly on the same level as luat. the cinematography is gorgeous, the pacing is engaging, and the chemistry between the leads is one of its biggest strengths. every interaction feels natural, and they make you believe in the relationship they’re portraying. it’s emotional, romantic, and beautifully executed.

duang with you: 9/10
this series is incredibly fun and charming. it’s the easiest to binge because of its lighthearted atmosphere, lovable characters, and effortless chemistry between the leads. while i personally prefer stories with heavier emotional themes, i completely understand why this one appeals to such a wide audience. it’s comforting, entertaining, and does exactly what it’s meant to do.

overall, i don’t think these series should be competing against each other because they’re trying to achieve different things. duang with you excels as a feel-good rom-com, khemjira perfectly balances romance, mystery, and emotional tension, while luat shines through its mature storytelling and emotional realism. they’re all amazing in their own way, but if we’re talking purely about the impact a story leaves on me, luat and khemjira sit at the very top.

this series is so beautifully written. from the acting to the way the story unfolds until the very end, everything feels intentional. every scene serves a purpose, every emotion hits at the right moment, and nothing feels rushed. it’s one of those stories that slowly pulls you in until you realize you’re already too attached to let go.

what i don’t really understand is why it isn’t getting the same amount of hype as series like duang with you or khemjira. and before anyone takes this the wrong way, this isn’t hate toward either series. i’ve been a dmd fan for years, and i genuinely enjoy all three.

duang with you has its own charm. it’s light, fun, and incredibly easy to binge. the chemistry between the leads is adorable, their playful interactions feel natural, and it’s the kind of series that instantly gives you butterflies. it’s perfect if you’re looking for something comforting, cute, and entertaining.

khemjira, on the other hand, is honestly on the same level as luat for me. the storytelling is solid, the cinematography is beautiful, and the chemistry between the leads is insane. every glance, every touch, and even the silence between them says so much. nothing feels forced, and that’s what makes their relationship so believable. they deserve every bit of recognition they’re getting.

then there’s luat. i feel like it takes a completely different approach. instead of relying on fluffy moments or constant fan service, it focuses on emotional depth, character development, and a story that trusts its audience to sit with every emotion. it doesn’t just make you feel butterflies. it makes you reflect, ache, and grow with the characters.

maybe people just have different tastes nowadays when it comes to bl. i think a lot of viewers naturally gravitate toward rom-coms, cute interactions, funny misunderstandings, and all those moments that give you secondhand embarrassment in the best way possible. that’s completely valid because everyone watches for different reasons.

for me, though, luat stands out because of how grounded it is. the acting never feels exaggerated, the dialogue feels real, and the emotional scenes linger with you long after the episode ends. it’s not loud about what it’s trying to say, but somehow it leaves the biggest impact.

all three series deserve the love they’re receiving because they each bring something different to the table. duang with you gives you warmth and comfort, khemjira delivers incredible chemistry and captivating storytelling, while luat quietly wrecks your heart with its writing and emotional weight. i just wish more people would give luat the same chance because it’s genuinely one of the most beautifully crafted bls i’ve watched in a long time.

Guys, let’s not forget to rewatch this series on the iQIYI app. Let’s keep supporting it until NetJJ’s new series comes out.

guys, have y’all seen netjj’s new series? let’s show them some love by watching the pilot trailer. i just know this series is gonna make us all cry. they really thought we could handle angst, so they decided to give us even more 😭 hahaha

rewatched the final ep for the hundredth time and ngl, it still hits the same every single time. 🥹 that’s how beautifully the series ended. every rewatch just reminds me how insanely good netjj’s acting is.

net has been in the industry for years, and it really shows. his acting is on another level. jj was amazing too. i loved the way he brought nakun to life, especially through his internal monologues and those effortlessly funny expressions. 😭

i just love, love, love this series. truly one for the books. indeed, some stories end, but the feelings they leave behind never really do. ✨🤍

i just rewatched the final episode and can we please talk about how insanely well they wrapped up this story? the plot twist was literally plot twisting until the very last minute. 😭 i’m still crying over the fact that phop spent all this time trying to help nakhun remember their past, carrying all those memories alone just so they could finally get the happy ending they were robbed of before. that realization hit me so hard.

and then finding out that nakhun’s mother in this life was actually his father in their previous life? excuse me??? i genuinely had to pause for a moment because my brain could not process how beautifully everything connected. every detail suddenly made sense, and it made their bond feel even more meaningful.

what i love most is that the finale didn’t just throw twists for shock value. every revelation served a purpose and added emotional weight to the story. by the end, it felt like every heartbreak, every missed chance, and every lifetime of longing finally led them back to where they were always meant to be. i’m honestly at a loss for words. this finale broke me, healed me, and left me staring at my screen in complete disbelief. what a beautiful way to end such an unforgettable story. 😭🩷

I understand your explanation of how you use the rating system, and I respect that you’ve clarified it’s not meant as a dismissal. But even with that context, your original comment still carries more weight in tone than you seem to be acknowledging.

Criticism of representation is valid—no one is questioning that. But there’s a difference between critiquing patterns in media and reducing an entire production to “stereotypical,” “queerbaiting,” or implying audiences are simply uncritical consumers who “turn their brains off.” That kind of framing flattens both the work and the viewers’ engagement with it.

Also, calling something queerbaiting just because it doesn’t align with your preferred portrayal of relationships is not automatically a fair conclusion. Queer representation in media is not a monolith, and not every deviation from your expectations equals misrepresentation or intent to deceive. Sometimes it’s simply a different creative approach—not necessarily a failed one.

And while your lived experience as a gay man absolutely gives you a lens to critique representation, it doesn’t make your interpretation the definitive one. Other viewers are not less critical just because they didn’t arrive at the same conclusions or prioritize the same issues you did.

At the end of the day, it’s completely fine to dislike a series or find its choices unremarkable. But strong critiques land better when they don’t generalize audiences or assume ignorance just because they experienced the story differently.

this series really had everything—love, heartbreak, yearning, fate, and moments that had me staring at the screen trying to process what just happened. 😭 the way the story unfolded across time made every reunion, every sacrifice, and every emotion hit so much harder. not many series can make me this attached to its characters, but this one did. gonna be thinking about them for a long, long time. ❤️‍🩹

i mean, looking at your watchlist and the way you rate other series, it’s pretty clear that you have a rather… unconventional taste when it comes to shows. but hey, to each their own. not every series is meant to resonate with everyone, and not everyone will appreciate the same things for the same reasons.

still, i find it interesting how this review seems to dismiss many of the qualities that a lot of viewers genuinely connected with throughout the series. perhaps the emotional depth, character development, and subtle storytelling simply weren’t your cup of tea—and that’s perfectly fine. however, your rating doesn’t really change what countless viewers experienced and appreciated while watching it.

nonetheless, thank you for taking the time to watch and rate the series. after all, differing opinions are what keep discussions interesting, even when some takes leave the rest of us wondering if we watched the same show.

and this is how you end a series. 🥹 this series became my comfort show from start to finish. the acting, the cinematography, the plot, the emotions—everything about it was just so beautiful to watch. what i loved most about the finale was when phop broke down crying for klao because he missed him so much and just wanted to see him again. you could really feel how deep his love was, and for me, that scene perfectly showed that klao was the love of his life.

then fast forward to the modern era—seeing nakhun smile the moment he saw phop again? i was gone. 😭 the excitement, the relief, the happiness in his eyes after finding the person his soul had been searching for all this time… that scene spoke louder than any dialogue ever could. it felt like fate finally giving them the ending they deserved.

this finale didn’t rely on grand twists or unnecessary drama. it stayed true to its story and its characters, giving us a heartfelt ending that was both satisfying and emotional. i’m gonna miss this series so much, but i’m grateful i got to experience it. definitely one of the most underrated gems of 2026, and i just know more people will discover and appreciate it in the years to come. ❤️‍🩹✨

got back here because i just saw the sneak peek for the last episode. shems, i’m not emotionally or physically ready for it. truly gonna miss this BL. 🥹

And fr, this series deserves way more recognition than it’s getting right now. I know for a fact people will start loving it more as time goes on and it’ll definitely end up on the list of best BLs of 2026. Let’s keep supporting NetJJ in whatever they do next 🥹🙌

You know a series is about to end when you’re already locked in rewatch mode, going through every episode and all your favorite P’Phop and Klao moments HAHAHA.

This series really climbed straight into my top favorites since the first day I got into BL. And now thinking that next Friday is the last episode… it’s kinda sad but also exciting at the same time, like I wanna see how everything wraps up.

Lowkey hoping we get a special episode in the future or maybe even a whole new series for our beloved NetJJ. 🥹🤍

Wawww… this episode was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. I’m honestly at a loss for words right now.

Seeing Nakhun break down after finally returning to the present completely shattered me. You could feel the weight of everything he had been carrying all this time, and it made that moment hit even harder. And don’t even get me started on his mother crying because she thought she had lost her son. That scene genuinely broke my heart. The pain, relief, and overwhelming love all collided in a matter of minutes, and I was just sitting there trying not to cry with them. 😭

What has me even more emotional is the realization that we might finally get P’Phop’s side of the story in the next episode. I have a feeling we’re about to see what truly happened before Nakhun returned to the present, and honestly, I am both excited and terrified. There are still so many unanswered questions, so many details left to uncover, and I know the writers are saving some of the most emotional revelations for last.

The way this series has been able to balance heartbreak, longing, family, love, sacrifice, and hope is something I deeply admire. Every episode leaves me with a hundred thoughts and emotions to process. It doesn’t just tell a story; it makes you feel every single moment alongside the characters.

Honestly, I can’t believe we’re already approaching the finale next week. Part of me is excited because I know we’re finally getting the answers we’ve been waiting for, but another part of me isn’t ready to say goodbye. I’ve grown so attached to these characters and their journey that ending the series feels like saying farewell to old friends.

Still, I can’t wait for the final episode because I know it’s going to be emotional, heartwarming, and probably devastating all at the same time. If this episode already had me crying, I just know the finale is about to finish the job. 😭❤️

One more week left, and I’m already missing this series before it has even ended.

Can we also take a moment to commend Cherd’s actor for absolutely killing his role? Because gurl, the way he had me feeling all sorts of emotions deserves recognition.

I was so mad at him for everything he did to Klao, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but feel sad for him. His character felt so human. I genuinely believe he was someone shaped and cornered by poverty, desperation, and the harsh realities of life, which pushed him into making terrible choices.

Of course, as we all know, the end never justifies the means. No amount of suffering or hardship excuses the pain he inflicted on others, especially on Klao. What he did was wrong, and there’s no denying that.

But that’s exactly why the performance was so good. It made me hate his actions while still understanding the tragedy behind the person. That’s not easy to pull off as an actor. If a character can make me furious, heartbroken, sympathetic, and conflicted all at the same time, then the actor definitely did his job exceptionally well.

So yes, justice for Klao forever, but flowers to Cherd’s actor too because he absolutely ate that role up. 👏😭

Nah ‘cause that flashback at the start absolutely wrecked me. Seeing Klao go through all that torture again had my heart in pieces. The first time was already painful enough, and now realizing he’s about to suffer through it all over again? Yeah, I’m not okay.

My man deserves the whole world, not endless suffering. He deserves justice, peace, and every good thing life has to offer. I’m so sick of seeing him get hurt. 😭

“if we can’t meet in the future, you have to live well.”

and now that next episode is approaching, this line suddenly feels ten times heavier. it sounds less like a simple goodbye and more like preparing someone you love for a life without you. after all the reveals and emotions from this episode, i honestly don’t think we’re ready for the pain that’s coming next. 💔

i finished the episode already and now i’m just sitting here feeling a mix of emotions. this series really proved that it’s not only about romance and comedy. it carries drama so deeply too. the reveals, the tension, and especially that preview for the next ep… i just can’t process everything huhu. i already know we’re probably going to cry next episode.

and can i just say, almost all the common questions people had were finally answered already. everything is slowly unfolding right before us, which makes the story even more beautiful and painful at the same time. but to be honest, i’m not ready for this series to end yet huhu. 😭

ah, i love jom in this episode. the character development is just so satisfying hahaha. though i understood where he was coming from in the first place, seeing him become bold enough to speak such protective words against those judgmental people says so much about how deeply he loves kaew. 🥹
