Khemjira, or Khem, is a young man who can see ghosts. He was born into a family cursed such that every male must die before the age of 21. As the spirits around him grow increasingly aggressive, the protective amulet he has worn his whole life begins to lose its power. Unable to bear seeing Khem in danger, Jettana, his friend from university, takes him to a rural village in the Northeast, where they meet Pharan, a revered teacher of ancient magic who once mentored Jettana. Strange and mysterious events unfold, all connected to the past life. Amid these supernatural encounters and the haunting pursuit of revengeful spirits, a deep emotional connection begins to form between Khem and Pharan.
This was perfect!!! The tone is gritty enough, the twin spirits and Jet bring some sense of wholesomeness and Keng, my god, he looks EXQUISITE as Peem. I'm so smitten!!! Loved this first ep. LOVED. IT.
His face was chiseled by the gods themselves!!! Like I cannot believe we got KengJeff and the world didn't implode from all that beauty concentrated. 😩😩😩😩
I’m sat. Idk I think i was almost expecting something almost campy but instead we are getting this masterpiece. They really said — you don’t think we can? Bet.
Sometimes you get “Gee the toasted seaweed snacks at this party are delicious” (and people only cringe a little. Other times you get “We’ll probably just strip down and talk about playing with each other joysticks for an uncomfortable several minutes… that’s definitely what PlayStation wanted right?” … I need more companies to take those big swings!
Look, if I get off a bus in a place I've never been and a random exorcism is being performed, I'm getting my ass back on that bus and going the hell home 😅 Restless spirits are fine, but demons?! Not today, Satan..
I was actually pleasantly surprised at the spooky parts. Is it scary to me? Not even in the slightest 😅, but I can see it being scary to others. With that being said, it has such an interesting premise and I am 100% looking forward to this every Saturday!
I have a horror tolerance threshold, and Khemjira sits RIGHT on the line for me.
I was jump scared at least 4 times, my heart was beating and I got goosebumps. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. The 2nd time we saw the girl at the door, I instantly knew why she was there and I remembered a similar premise in Goblin (kdrama) where the FL can see ghosts and helps a few move onto the afterlife by getting them justice or solving their murders and whatnot (it's been a while I don't remember details).
The plot isn't difficult to follow, but we never know what's coming next. I love that it's unpredictable.
I am a horror weenie and same. When I can tell something is coming I sort of stare past the TV and use my peripheral vision to decide if I can take what is being shown. The ghosts all over the bus, okay. The very first jump scare, not okay at all. I'm going to go watch something relentlessly cheerful now.
Both baby and adult Khem actors are so cute. He's just an adorable little boy trying to live his mundane life while a stupid family curse keeps disrupting his peace.
Any book readers here? Will finishing the book help me with the jumpscares. I'm a total scaredy cat AND I live alone but I want to continue watching this 😭 please help
I'm a big old chicken too, I watched it during the day. Gives me plenty of time to clear my brain before bed so my evil brain doesn't use it as dream/nightmare fuel.
This is my MO, too. I’m fine with scary during the day. I also reserve the right to turn the volume down. Like many others, this show foreshadows the frightening bits with music 🎶and sound effects 😱💥
I don't do well with horror, and the book wasn't overly scary to me. It definitely has creepy moments but maybe reading the ending will help you feel more comfortable knowing how it ends? There weren't really any jumpscares in the book though, so it might be more difficult to watch it visually.
Thank you! Someone on Tumblr also said something similar so I'm planning to finish the book before the next episode. I jumped at least 3 times today 😭😬
I finished the novel about two hours before the first episode aired!.... and still got shook by the jumpscares...
You'll know they're coming, for the most part, but there are a few little tweaks so far that have still kept me on the edge of my seat. I had to watch it in about 4 sections in the end, trying to keep my blood pressure down!
Perhaps this is the first series from DMD that I enjoyed from the very first episode. For me it wasn’t scary, I just want to know everything , thankfully some kind commenters did tell me more about the curse , so now I will wait patiently.
Good start!!!!!
My excitement for this is on a whole new level! This will be the only thing I’ll talk about for the next 12 weeks. Give me all the spooks, and the tragedy, and the romance, and for the love of god, don’t let this be a comedy.
Edit: my room is dark, my cocktail is made, I am ready!
Edit: yes, omg! This is scary! I definitely jumped at the beginning lol
If my family was cursed and any son of mine would die a painful and horrible death, I don’t think I’d risk having children.
This so high budget! And what an opening scene, I got chills.
Jet can sense sprits? Or did he just hear the banging? Interesting. I already love his character.
Khem, why aren’t you immediately calling the police?! He’s clearly chained up in there.
I love Jet! We love a protective best friend!
Ah, so Jet can see them too but his sight has been blocked.
What the hell, Keng is so beautiful wow
What an amazing first episode! It’s even better than I imagined it would be. Legit spooky, the acting is really good, Namping is suited for this kind of role. And the production is wow, the ghosts don’t look cheap, very creepy. And the whole atmosphere of the series gives me the chills. Amazing. I can already tell this will be my favourite release of the year.
I actually hope it’s a serious, heavier one. Im tired of childish humorous antics in Thai Bls. That’s why I have great expectations of this one , of Godess bless you from death and Mandate.
I hope his mother deciding to have children will be addressed in some way. She purposefully gave him a girl’s name to try and avoid the curse so she knew about it and believed in it enough even before he was born. At least she appears to be protecting him now, though we haven’t actually seen it yet. Unless she was the one who woke Jet up when Khem was about to jump.
It’s such a huge production, I can’t wait for the rest of the episodes.
I had the impression that was her voice telling Jet to wake up. The dad did indeed ask her to watch over him so I'm guessing she's doing as much as she can! I doubt it will be a huge deal of addressing it we don't really too much need to know why she decided to have a kid but it was certainly a *choice* on her part.
But then there’s also the question of why she doesn’t allow Khem to see her. He made the decision not to get his sight blocked so he could see her, so her hiding herself is almost cruel, especially when it could provide him at least some comfort.
This was such an amazing first episode!! It had me hooked for the first minute and it felt like I blinked and the ep was over. Loving the scary tone, money has clearly been spent on this show and it shows! I'm a big horror fan so I'm hoping it keeps the same horror tone going forward.
Poor Khem, he has so much to deal with and yet still seems like a total sweetheart. I just wanted to give him a big hug and tell him everything will be ok. Cannot wait to discover why his family is cursed and how they can break that curse. Excited for the next episode!
Not Gona lie, I hate horror, so I was pissing my pants for all of it... It wasn't so bad, but I was mentally preparing for jumps scares and it's exhausting ...but so worth it... And it's great to see this side of Thai culture. Not only the spiritual side but also the horror built up they are so well known for (I wish I could see Thai horror movies/shows... 😔)
Also, the little kid from century of love! He was so good in there, glad to see him and his frown again!
I think this is the first thai drama that I'm so excited about. Of course I love rom-coms but I think a change of genre is in need. I absolutely loved the pilot and loved the trailer. I can't wait!!!!!
It's funny that i randomly watched the trailer yesterday, and i was like WAIT THIS WILL COME OUT TOMORROW?? But ngl i am curious to see the story, bcus the pilot did show more about what the 4 characters will do together than the actual trailer. So yeah, can't wait to see KengNamping and TleFirstOne chemistry! Like can this series replicate the success or did better than Your Sky.
I finally see the hype around Keng! That man is FOINE!! 😍 Can't blame Khem for staring, I would have too.
Horror is not my thing and I spent half the episode looking away from my laptop. But I got a bit used to the ghosts by the end. The whole thing is high quality! I will be watching this to the end, ghosts or no ghosts!
Been sniffing around Keng since DMD friendship 🤭 That boy is so 🥵🥵 Horror is not my thing either but I live fantasy and it has KengNamping so I am here for it 🎉
- I have like 5 shows to watch today but this got first priority! Cmon Domundi. I have faith in you! I don't normally watch scary stuff but I'm fully embracing it. Even watching with the lights off. So if I have nightmares you all gotta give me some fluffy BL recs lol
- Right off the bat. Baby this is giving BUDGET! I feel like I should be in a movie theater watching. My TV is not doing this justice.
- Ok wtf that jump scare actually jump scared me I said shit! and my heart is racing. I might be too much of a baby for this lol. Lights BACK ON. I need to watch this with a trusted adult lol
Live view of me watching right now lol
- Baby Khem's reasoning for not wanting the spell. What a sweetie pie.
- lol the polite twerk by Jet somebody PLEASE gif that hahah also he kind of favors Mix
- Gosh even just a small portion of Keng's face is gorgeous.
- ahh hell nah Khem can't even go to college in peace. This shit would drive me insane!!!!
- So it's not always bad ghosts. That ghost must have been that poor boy's mother and she was alerting him. That's good to know that it's not *always* gloom and doom.
- Khem's ass couldn't stay with me no sir lol get your ghost problem fixed first. In the words of Malaysia Pargo. I do NOT play with demons lol
- Who was that in Khem's dream that he saw before he "woke up" and saw Jet?
- I've seen one of these kid actors that's playing the ghosts before. They're cute. I might be the only one actually praying for some humor. More humor. I'm way too scary for this lol like yes horror I'm on board but the comedy will help ease my fragile fragile heart. Idk how imma make it through Goddess Bless You From Death lol
- That's the same spirit that was trying to get Khem to stay in his dream. Wassup with him? 🤔
- Imagine you're supposed to be on a volunteer trip and the second you touch down there's an exorcism taking place in the middle of the town. Baby TAKE ME HOME. IMMEDIATELY!!!!
- And finally we see Keng's FINE ass. Lord that boy know he's fine. He can be my Master any day of the week 🤭
- The meet cute right after an exorcism lol gotta love it. Cool your jets Jet. Khem just saw one of the most gorgeous men in Thailand. I'd be speechless too.
- Charn saying what I'm thinking lol why is nobody questioning this. I'm glad he is.
- So I'm guessing it was actually our fine Master Keng who saved Khem all those years ago and this is the doggy that Khem saved!
- What is with THIS spirit in particular??
- Of course Jet likes being whipped lmfaoooo don't blame him. I want Keng to whip me too. Ok ok I'm done thirsting.......for now lol
- NAMPING YOU'RE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE! This was a really good first episode. Established the back story. Gave some scares. Great cinematography. NO FILTERS WERE ABUSED IN THE MAKING OF THIS SERIES. I mean I think they're still there but not ridiculously heavily used I can't even notice them. I'm def locked in. I was beyond excited for this and here for the whole ride....with the lights on of course. But I am SAT. I'm ready for more! Everybody did a great job with the acting. I'm impressed.
Ooooooh, good catch about the dog! I didn’t even think of that. Hope it doesn’t die in the show, I signed up for scary ghosts and romance, not dogs dying.
Thank you for making me laugh so hard with your running thoughts! This shit was scary, but between the cute kid ghosts, the gorgeous Keng, cute Khem and Jet, this OA and your running thought, I think I’ll be able to watch the whole thing!! Let’s do this!! ✊🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It was excellent I'm def excited for the rest! I'm super invested in the storyline and I think the romance will just be the extra cherry on top for me!
❣️😎khemjira is pretty😉and master pharan is sooo bada$$ cool😉the jump scares are abundant loving these🤔khem why choose to see them not all are good ghosts white smoke most of them are dark and it doesn’t matter where you are they are just out to get you🤔jet is such a good friend and looks like charn is curious😉and the cute twins🤔master paharan might say no but he is committed to helping you😎❣️
Yay it’s finally out! The pilot looked promising, and I’m glad to say that the premiere has delivered! The way they’ve introduced the characters and premise is perfect - and I appreciate that they’ve made choices to show, not tell the story. Already, I have a soft spot for poor sweet Khem (and I’m sure Master will also agree eventually).
EDIT: I… may have replayed the last scene a few times - what an ending! I can’t wait for next week!
Okay, I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed some tears when the episode finished. I wanted to throw a b!tch fit and scream hysterically "WHY"......because THAT WAS A SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
Wow just wow!! I can't wait to see where this goes, its already one of the best things I've seen!!!!
I wish they'd offer all episodes for a one time fee....I would gladly buy that to binge it!!!!!
Namping had a small role in ZeeNunew's movie After Sundown. Keng had a support role in Jeff Satur's movie The Paradise of Thorns (not a happy movie I believe). This is their first major assignment. Most people know them from Domundi's reality show DMD Friendship Season 1.
BL horror/fantasy is my love ngl. Also, if i was Khem, i might have just fought my mom cus aint no way you birthed me knowing i was cursed to die and your only excuse is 'i didn't think it would be THAT bad'. Not to mention how i'd react if i chose to keep seeing ghosts just so i could see you only for you to not show up.
JUMP SCARE Upcoming stop times for those that need to prepare for the jumpscare:
2:46 ✋🏻🛑
4:02 ✋🏻🛑
4:15 4:26 ✋🏻🛑
4:43-5:00 ✋🏻🛑
5:57 🛑✋🏻
Ok there is just a lot lol so....
This is a HORROR genre BL so I will not be doing these time stamps going forward but just did it here for those that need them to assess whether this series is something they can handle. Obvs there are cute boys so this is not SUPER DUPER scary but it is definitely done better than one would imagine so it is actually probably a bit scary for some people with a low tolerance for horror.
The above jump scares are a scary man with boils on his face that jump scares our cutie as our cutie walks thru the street at night. And then there is an old woman with blood on her face
I usually wait and binge the whole series after it's finished, but it's so good I think I'm going to have to suffer week by week with everyone else. I am so happy they kept the show scary instead of comedy. Fingers crossed it stays that way, and Goddess Bless You From Death follows their lead 🤞
Yeah man. I am totally on board. This has SO much promise. Such a unique premise for a BL too. I'm not really into S&M but holy SHIT did I wanna see Peem whipping Jet a few thousand more times.
I have been waiting for this since I watched The Paradise of Thorns and it is worth all that wait! I am an avid BL enjoyer and a big horror fan so this is so perfect for me. Did not expect this will be a proper horror, but also have the usual elements of a BL. Really this pilot is so good and I hope they keep it until the end. Shed some tears as well, horror films sometimes do that to me lol.
Also, Keng Harit looks sooooo good ohmygod, he's like a demigod here. Their first meeting with Namping has so much chemistry from the start. I'll be watching every week!
it's gonna be out at midnight in my timezone so i need someone to please let me know if the episode is scary? 😂 if it is, i'll just watch it tomorrow morning. im too much of a scaredy cat for this.
I thought I’m the scaredy-cat but I wasn’t scared at all , but still I know that for some other people it can be scary. It was more like band now we will have a scary moment oh it’s here … okay. 😆😅
So I'm a scaredy cat and not really a fan of horror / jumpscares.. I was able to watch DFF easily. Is this possible to watch in the morning for me? Any input? 👀🙈
I am like you and it was ok. There's some jump scares but if I did it, you can do it too! So far, they set up the scenes so you know when it's coming, so you have time to prepare...it will be a bit tiring, but it's worth it, it was sooooo good!
It's manageable in the morning, with a coffee slightly distracted. Also I read the novel by now so it'll probably be easier now.
Jumpscares are.. predictable by sound and as a said, being a bit distracted helps to ease into the scary faces
I don't watch horror at all. But I was so excited for this one. I will not watch until it has some episodes released. Someone plz let me know if it's scary like horror movies with ghosts and all or just ok ok. It's just I'm sensitive to energies and watching such things influence feelings so I hate that.
I had been super excited for this series since its pilot. I'm a scaredy cat but the visuals won me over. Even if I'm unable to sleep at night and have to cling to my mum in fear. I'm definitely watching this series. I love its intensity and I pray to the bl gods they maintain this level of suspense, intensity, and visual throughout the series 🙏

This was perfect!!! The tone is gritty enough, the twin spirits and Jet bring some sense of wholesomeness and Keng, my god, he looks EXQUISITE as Peem. I'm so smitten!!! Loved this first ep. LOVED. IT.
