Life and death go hand in hand. Where one begins, the other ends, but it doesn’t make the ending any easier to face. And it certainly doesn’t soften the blow when your end is set to come after losing the ones you love most.

In the Thai BL My Magic Prophecy, Dr. Thapfah, played with quiet resolve by Jimmy Jitaraphol, is a critical care doctor who doesn’t believe in horoscopes, destiny, or anything that can’t be proven under the fluorescent lights of the hospital where he works. But when Inthu, a clairvoyant and tarot reader played with heart-wrenching vulnerability by Sea Tawinan, warns him of an approaching streak of misfortune that could cost him his life, skepticism isn’t enough to keep danger at bay. A series of unsettling events soon forces Thap to leave the city for his own safety, with In by his side as a reluctant protector.

Adapted from Dawin’s novel The Cards Tell Me It’s You, My Magic Prophecy wastes no time in pulling you into its high-stakes world. From the start, the tension is palpable, whether it’s the life-or-death decisions Thap makes in the ICU or the unshakable dread that lingers in In’s visions.

Sea delivers a standout performance as In, layering every scene with grief, survivor’s guilt, and a fierce determination to protect Thap at any cost. His pain over losing his parents is raw and unflinching, adding weight to his desperate need to save someone this time, even if it means putting himself in harm’s way. Jimmy matches this with a grounded portrayal of a man caught between saving others and fighting to survive himself, all while grappling with a strained relationship with his father.

The first three episodes expertly weave together In’s haunting nightmares, Thap’s brush with attempted murder, and the push-pull connection between two people who need each other but can’t admit it. The chemistry is undeniable, electric when tension is high, and quietly tender when needed. There’s an aching sense that In’s mission to protect Thap isn’t just about saving him, but also about redeeming himself for the parents he couldn’t save.

Which brings me to Acare Chompoopuntip as Dao, Thap’s spirited younger sister and In’s best friend. She’s a bright thread in an otherwise tense story, compassionate, grounding, and often the bridge between the two men. In the background, Franc Naruth as Dr. Pokpong and Save Saisawat as Ton tease an intriguing secondary romance, while First Kanaphan as Dr. Kan steals every scene with a charm that feels just a little too calculated. He’s the perfect recipe for a potential antagonist.

By the end of episode three, My Magic Prophecy has laid the groundwork for a story that feels equal parts romance, mystery, and emotional healing. It’s a tale of fate colliding with free will, where love and danger intertwine, and where every choice feels weighted with what’s already been lost.

For a series that promises to hurt, heal, and keep you guessing, My Magic Prophecy is off to a great start. Watch it now on the GMMTV YouTube channel. You may just find yourself hoping the cards fall in Thap and In’s favor.

I know I did.
