in the previous ep when Ramphueng confronted…

in the previous ep when Ramphueng confronted the ghost of the female Khemjira, i thought that she or her previous incarnation stole her man or some such. but after this ep, i guess they murdered(?)/sacrificed(?) her child. that would freakin justify turning demonic, where no one can stand up too, let alone defeat u. as the saying goes hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. justified IMO ***************************************************************************************************************also from what i've seen until now, idk why in the description says that Khem got a female name, cause women in his family were safe. that's not the case. ********************************************************************************************************& as the old woman (that Jet called grandmother) knows Ramphueng & why she is holding a grudge, shouldn't she inform the master so they might figure out a way to appease her soul , so that she might stop & move on?!? *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but found it ironic but also cute that Jet & Chan r reincarnations of female Khemjira's bff's that were a gay couple. it's cute - even though there really isn't a story/romance between them. so idk where this is going. not developing their plot feels more like a miss then a hit to me. but it is what it is. & regarding the main couple, must say i am kinda astonished at Khem's lack of pride, given the fact Peem doesn't treat him with kid gloves. if anything he loves being extra rude & mean to him & yet Khem still around trying to kiss ass. & i get that it's cause he is desperate to live. still shocking *******************************************btw i thought Peem choosing the life of a shaman mean he needed to be celibate, no??? am sure that's what his grandfather told him. so doesn't everyone know this fact? if so why Phrima trying to woo him? & why Peem letting her?!??

must say i don't get why Ramphueng is…

must say i don't get why Ramphueng is so powerful & wish Peem told Khem that the reason he can't help him, is cause it could cost him his life or the life of someone close to him. & hope just for Khem to live, "they" won't sacrifice a side character. the worse would be those spirit kids Peems got by his side 24/7. sorry not sorry Khem not worth the sacrifice. *********************here i don't even like him much, he the type of character where the whole plot & character's revolve around his sorry ass & i don't get why. was he needed to hold a candle for Jet & Chan??? if he was a good friend, the sec Chan came by, he would find a reason to leave - as Chan & Jet might bicker but u for sure can feel there is more between them. why insert ur-self into their story?? why everyone gotta cater to his pathetic ass? i don't find him cute in the least (the actor might be, but the character - NOPE) & the sad puppy dog eyes don't move me in the least. *********************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************ironically when the plot doesn't revolve around him, it's quite interesting, even cute & entertaining (even if he is in the scene) as long as the focus isn't on him - this good. but the sec he is the focus, i lose interest cause i know it will take him ages to talk, move, react like a freakin sloth *******************************************************************************************************btw mentioning Chan - i knew he would remain behind for Jet, sadly Khem is thick & can't catch a clue to save his life. he stuck like glue to Jet, so there is no chance of anything developing between Jet & Chan - which is a shame, as i am sure they would be 100% much more interesting & entertaining to watch. oh well - ********************************************************************Krittanai might be a good guy, but seeing him in this BL reminds me of his character in Work From Heart, he was a narcissistic ass-hat in that & the gaslighting let alone the SA didn't ender him much. so seeing him & that smile makes me uneasy. i know he gonna be the catalyst that forces Peem to admit his feelings if not act on them. but still Krittanai's character Ohm is to vivid to forget & sadly that not a plus. good acting as i hated him lol - but now i feel like i need to prepare myself to whatever he's gonna get up too - ugh

Absolute cinema

I don’t usually write reviews, but I think I’ll start now- please be kind, it’s my first one. This episode left me absolutely speechless. First off, even with its nearly two-hour runtime, the pacing never dragged. The story flowed beautifully, and the way it was delivered kept me hooked the entire time.- KengNamping NC SceneThis has officially become my favorite DMD nc scene ever (and perhaps even one of my all-time favorites). I felt every single emotion. Seeing P’Peem completely naked felt like the ultimate act of vulnerability: as though he were saying, “I am giving myself to you without any mask or veil, both physically and emotionally.” What we witnessed was a man who had been holding himself back for years finally allowing release (again: both literal and symbolic). The acting was extraordinary. The performances were so convincing that I almost felt like an intruder, a third wheel in their intimacy, yet I couldn’t look away. The framing and composition of each shot mesmerized me; every detail carried weight, every angle intentional.From Khemjira’s perspective, there was a palpable mix of excitement and apprehension, as this was his first real experience with physical intimacy. His character has longed to be “normal,” but has carried the weight of the curse his entire life, leaving little to no room for romance, even if he longed for it. What this scene captured was two people experiencing different kinds of “firsts,” both stripping themselves bare of everything that shielded them in their own ways. And the sound design? Brilliant. I deeply appreciated that the sequence was underscored by a delicate, almost ethereal score that set the emotional, reflective tone. At selected moments, the faint, distant sounds of breath (mostly from Peem) were woven in just enough to remind us of the raw, human carnal passion beneath it all. Yet these physical expressions were deliberately subdued, reinforcing that the scene’s true core was emotional intimacy. It was the peak of closeness: two individuals merging into one presence, even without going all the way.- DirectionI have to praise the director. Every detail, every frame, feels so intentional. The way the story is visually told with the gazes, the pauses, the framing, never fails to amaze me. Every little detail is thought before hand, everything has a reason to be somewhere specific. - StorylinesI really appreciated finally getting some backstory on Rampueng’s vengeful feelings. I suspect she’s behind Yai Si’s illness, though I’m not entirely sure yet. I love how this central plot remains consistently present, while still balanced against the romantic arcs and nuanced character development.- Charn and JetTheir relationship unfolds in such a different way than Peem and Khem’s. They first surrender to passion, acknowledge their feelings but then take a step back, deciding to build something carefully, with all the uncertainty that entails. I love the contrast with PK's relationship building as it makes each story feel unique.- Phor Kru / Peem’s ArcI don’t think Peem’s confession and openness came too quickly at all. If anything, it felt like the natural breaking point after years of holding everything in. When he asks Khem to call him just P/Peem it’s clear he’s tired of the constant restraint that comes with being Phor Kru. He just wants to exist as himself for Khem, yes, but also for his own peace. That hit me hard, his yearning to shed the constant control demanded by his role. For once, he can exist freel, not as a 'spiritual-teacher' (wouldn't really know how else to describe it lol) bound by duty, but as himself. This moment of liberation felt essential both for his relationship and his own self-acceptance. (And side note: the haircut this episode? Perfection. I couldn't stop screaming everytime he was on screen- And major points to DMD for finally giving us realistic tattoos!)- ActingNamping absolutely floored me. The way he cries is just beautiful, it feels so genuine. And I especially admired how well he played a character who’s bad at lying. That’s harder than it looks, because you have to “act badly” on purpose, while still keeping it believable. He delivered it flawlessly.
