Revamp the Undead Story

Ramil is an edgelord discord mod

If you are looking for a wig-snatching supernatural romance series that has epic combat scenes, touching emotional moments, an intriguing story and deep nuanced characters, then keep looking, because this series will give you absolutely none of that!

Tell me you don't know what a vampire is without telling me you don't know what a vampire is...

Common sense was chasing those characters but they were way faster because none of what happens made sense at any point...

I think it's my fault for having expectations but I was soooo hyped for this series when the trailer came out, but now I just wish I could hypnotize myself to forget what a failure this was.
I mean just look at it: BounPrem in a vampire setting?? Yes please!! But turns out we weren't even robbed, we got full on bullied by GMMTV.

The casting is top notch but I think they forgot to give them the script until the day before the shooting because tell me why it all feels so improvised?? The acting is so awful and wannabe edgy and dark, it hurts to look at... I spent the whole time watching in x2 speed because of second-hand embarrassment...

The pacing is so weird. This series focuses on everything and nothing at the same time. It spends such a long time on unnecessary details and forgets to get anything done. It just throws some plot details here and there like "i love claw machines. oh yeah also I have a century old evil vampire brother that's still roaming free and probably wants to kill me and everyone I love but I guess that won't be an issue. also did i tell you i love claw machines?"

The romance feels so forced... Don't get me wrong, I love BounPrem and their previous works. But what the fuck is going on here?? It feels like Ramil and Punn never really got over that weird awkward first stage of trying to get to know someone and now they're stuck with each other unable to bring themselves to break the awkwardness, like an everlasting uncomfortable first date.
"I want to stay with you forever." MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU HAVE KNOWN THIS MAN FOR A WEEK AND ALMOST DIED 1000 TIMES CAN'T YOU CATCH A BREAK??

I absolutely HATED the last episode. It's so rushed it felt like a joke... What do you mean Ramil gives the title of vampire leader to Methus because he is "the best and most reliable brother"?? What was the point of all the bonding scenes and playing house with everyone for 3 episodes if you are just going to say you dislike your family? Aren't things in GMMTV supposed to be ruled by the power of friendship anymore??

Early in the series, Pokpong had a whole crashout about going to live abroad (which is so valid by the way, like wdym you're my financially stable, independent, living in a huge house brother and you can't even take me in even though we literally don't have anyone else and I STILL work part time to support myself??). So tell me why he seems ok that Punn is going to live forever inside a fucking painting with his vampire boyfriend that he's known for a week?? PLEASE BE ANGRY DO SOMETHING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
So you're telling me Pokpong is just going to watch his brother not age while he's still gonna grow old and wither and die??

I could say that Punn and Ramil are incredible lead characters that carry the whole story, but I won't, cause I don't like to lie.

From his very first apparition, I instantly KNEW that Ramil would be very laughable. That man has no depth whatsoever. His only personality trait is that he has none. I hate his alpha male demeanor, breathing heavily turning red and screaming in the last episode. Please sir stop thinking you're so mysterious and edgy when really your claw hands are making you look cringe. I mean this whole show is just so cringe it becomes the norm... We saw one scene of his past and suddenly he is this tortured figure that's lived through the apocalypse...

Punn was so devout of life it physically hurt to see him interact with other characters. From the first episodes, I was constantly screaming at him to wake up and FEEL something, because tell why that man isn't even phased about falling inside a damn PAINTING and dragging home a VAMPIRE that later on invites his BROTHER inside Punn's house without even asking?? THE WHOLE TIME PUNN WAS JUST LIKE "yeah typical sunday 👍"
I mean yes the whole time he was actually a hunter so he knows about vampires and their whereabouts so that kinda makes sense but still??? Have at least the decency to make your enemies think you're a normal human being instead of being so mysterious and suspicious...

I could seriously go on and on about this show and give one argument for each year Ramil has lived to show you how bad this series really is...

Spare yourself, don't watch it. Even My Golden Blood wasn't that edgy. Don't lose your time on this show and go rewatch Between us...

A vampire story that didn’t bite

Unfortunately, a bit of a disappointment — I had hoped for more. I really liked the two leads after seeing them in Between Us, so my expectations were quite high. I was excited about the mix of vampire lore, romance, and mystery, but sadly, the execution didn’t live up to what I’d hoped for.

I really liked the premise and the cast duo had promise, yet it somehow never truly took off for me. The pacing felt uneven — the build-up to the vampire mythos was interesting, but halfway through I found myself skimming episodes rather than being drawn in. The emotional stakes seemed shaky, and the supernatural elements sometimes felt more like props than essential parts of the story. While the visuals and setting were decent, the series lacked the strong character development that would make me care deeply for Punn or Ramil. The romance between them had moments of charm, but more often it felt rushed or overshadowed by side plots that didn’t quite land. There were flashes of good chemistry, but the subplot with the Hunters and the vampiric past felt cluttered and confusing rather than engaging.

In comparison with Golden Blood, which also aired this year, this one felt like a pale copy — lacking the same heart, tension, and spark between the leads. It had potential but never quite found its rhythm.

Overall, despite its hype and solid casting, Revamp the Undead Story is one of those shows that had all the right ingredients but didn’t manage to blend them into something memorable. Still, I genuinely hope to see the main pair together again in another project that suits them better.

Revamp : the undead chaos

I need to start by saying that I'm a broccoli. I really love Bounprem since uwma but...I'm brave enough to admit this was a complete mess.
To get it over with, the acting was okay. I have to say that the "holy trinity" (as I call them), Barcode, Mark and Aun were AMAZING! They were really shining! I loved them. Kay and Stamp were also pretty good. Unfortunately I was not that impressed but neither the acting nor the chemistry on Bounprem. Where did their amazing chemistry go?! (I blame gmmtv for that)
Now to the story :
From the very first episode the editing and story telling was all over the place. So many things happening at once but at the same time the story was not moving.
Many things did not make sense but we were promised an explanation at some point. And that explanation came on ep9. (I was really pissed with many things throughout the story but ep9 was what made my blood boil so I will only talk about that).
So, Ramil went to Pun's memories to search for Feratu. Perfectly logical till now. Ramil walks around and starts changing things... (?!) How is that possible? He saved Pun when he was a child and then again when he was a adult (by Methus). And those changes he made on his memories changed the past (?) somehow. HOW?
Ramil was only walking through memories. He should not have been able to interact with anyone. But not only did he but he also changed the past! This was not a time traveling, this was practically mind reading!! How was he able to do that!? Makes no sense.
From the very first scene they created that mystery around their past encounter and Pun's dreams about Ramil, which was so interesting. I was waiting to see the "big reveal" only for it to make no sense. (And if someone seas "We were seeing the story through Pun's memories", no, that is not true. Pun was SAVED on his memories by Ramil TWICE! That means that originally he would have died!)

The story was a mess from the beginning but I was really expecting a good explanation and I was really open on liking it, unfortunately that never happened. I just got so pissed by that fake time traveling-memory changing thingy. (I'm obsessed with time traveling series so that annoyed me way too much)

Some extra things are the romance that I did not feel. I felt more romance from Pong and Mekhin that Ramil and Pun. Everything happened so fast. How were they in love already in episode 2?


Now I will mention some things that I like because I don't want to be completely negative (even thought I don't like this series, like at all) :

- Barcode. He was a gem on his own.
- The three brothers. Icons.
- Pong and Mekhin's relationship. I wanted to see way more of them.
- the twins were fun.
- The fight scene between Elise and Mariah was pretty cool (on the early eps)

Things I didn't like (because I wanna put my thoughs in order.):

- somehow, minimum chemistry (not Bounprem's fault)
- editing was crappie and all over the place
- Story did not make sense (I just had a rant above)
- Pun was kinda an indifferent character. I wanted more personality!
- Ramil was supposed to be the vampire leader but he was silly (and kinda stupid at times) not a serious bone in him. He was also so in love with Pun from the very beginning which made no sense. I wanted to see them fall for each other. A tragic romance between a vampire and a human.!


Lastly I will talk about the ending. I liked that we were not given the cliche "He turned him into a vampire so that they can live together forever". Entering the painting was smart. But at the same time, isn't it extremely sad? Pun just left his brother, who btw just started having a good relationship with, to go live with his vampire boyfriend.
And tbh after the ending of ep9 they were like a family, all of them. So separating them by making the couple leave to stay in a magic painting, all on their own forever was really... Not it? I just really did not like the idea. (also MekhinPong (whish I would die for) would also have the problem of eternity (they are a couple in my mind) so then what are they gonna do? Go to the painting too?)

Now, the very end was interesting... I SCREAMED when I saw Junior. OMG! And I'll be honest here, I'm sure they were teasing a second season. Did I like this one? No. Would I watch a second season where JuniorMark are the protagonist, MekhinPong second couple and Bounprem cameo? Honestly, hell yes! (don't judge me)

This review is all over the place because my mind is also all over the place now. I would not recommend this series tbh. If you want to watch Bounprem they already have uwma which is a masterpiece (and between us). Honestly, I believe that if this project was not produced by gmm and was made before they got in it, it would be good. Lately, gmm is giving such low quality shows that is making me disappointed (and rather angry because they have so much potential!). Well, that's how I feel. Thank you for reading my rant.

My first impression was ass

Let's be honest. WTF IS THIS STORYLINE!?
- GMMTV wasted BounPrems potential.
- Barcode's and Boun's face card was the only good thing about this
- I feel like Ciar could've show more emotions in the scenes where he was angry at Punn for being a human.
- The direction was ASS. not gonna lie, the director of this drama also directed many other dramas such as 'We Are' or 'Perfect 10 Liners', they were actually good!. I don't think he was built for this type of BL's.
- I don't understand the useless scenes and characters.
- The ending where Jett went possessed was ASS. Let me tell you, the actor of Jett was really good at the past 9 eps, but he didn't do much in the 10 ep. He was not build to play a psycho role!
- This was my first drama of BounPrem, and I regret not watching 'Between Us' first!

- GMMTV wastes their ideas and time on hopeless couples instead of hopeful ones!

BounPrem is real?

I think we all loved the idea of BounPrem because they are one of the only BL pairs where both actors are really attractive. But the whole BounPrem is real fantasy needs to die. Let's be real, if they were kissing in real life, their on screen kissing would have gotten way better by now. I'm not even convinced at this point that either of them is bi, let alone gay. Which is fine, we still love them. As for the series itself, I think there was a lot of potential, but it just missed the mark. The music was decent and helped keep things moving. Most of the acting was pretty good, but the story itself needed a bit of "revamping". I didn't struggle to get through it like some fantasy series, but I also found myself doing other things through some of the slower parts.

What a waste of talent

This was kind of like watching a train wreck and two of my favorite actors were being killed. What a horrible story made no sense whatsoever it was all over the place. I felt so bad for all the actors they were trying to do their best but it was ridiculous. The two main leads have such wonderful chemistry and it wasn't even used in this series. I too had been anticipating this thought it looked really good but who wrote and directed this show! They need to be fined and sent back to school. I hate to rate it so low because I like all the actors in it but it's just one of the most awful BLs I have ever watched.

Another Boun & Prem drama of course I watch this…

Punn, the owner of a vintage shop, is asked by a friend to restore a painting that was mysteriously vandalized in their gallery.

While working on it, Punn accidentally injures himself, and his blood stains the artwork. Unbeknownst to him, that single drop of blood awakens Ramil, the last descendant of an ancient vampire lineage who has been trapped inside the painting for over a century.

However, Ramil emerges weak and powerless, becoming the target of relentless Vampire Hunters. To reclaim his lost powers, Ramil needs to find his former servants—vampires who now live discreetly among humans. After reuniting with them and reclaiming his powers, the time finally comes to face the Hunters head-on.

And when they uncover who’s truly behind the hunt… it turns out to be someone unexpected. Someone close.

So now, can the conflict with the Hunters be resolved?
And who is really pulling the strings?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Seeing Boun & Prem in another drama together.

What I don’t like:
- Interesting concept, but unfortunately very poor in implementation. Such as that horrific fighting scene…Thai or maybe just GMM-TV need better choreography for the fighting scene…
- All the cheesy acts that Boun did as Ramil.
- Too good of an ending… I don’t know how to put this into words… But I just feel they rush it toward the ending…

Overall I'm happy Boun & Prem can have a drama together again… For the drama itself I've seen better for sure…

“BE SO SERIOUS RIGHT NOW—WHO SIGNED OFF ON THIS PLOT???”

The storyline? BABE. It was giving car crash in slow motion, vampire in Crocs, Twilight if it were written during a sugar crash — and yet here I am, invested like a clown with premium seating.

And that MAIN LEAD???
A radioactive red flag dipped in immortal thirst-trap sauce.
I swear he walked on screen and my brain went:
“I HATE YOU.”
“I LOVE YOU.”
“I HATE THAT I LOVE YOU.”
“I NEED A RESTRAINING ORDER AND ALSO A HUG.”
The emotional whiplash is insane. I need therapy, financial compensation, and possibly an intervention.

The pacing??? LMAO PLEASE.
Half the time it was doing parkour like it was running from debt collectors, and the other half it lagged like my WiFi during a monsoon. CHOOSE A SPEED, YOUR HONOR.

World-building? Don’t get me started.
They served crumbs. CRUMBS. Not even the good soft crumbs — the dry, corner-of-the-cookie crumbs you give to pigeons.
HELLO?? I am a lore-goblin. I need FEASTS. I need MYTHOLOGY. I need WHY IS HE IMMORTAL AND ONE'S ALSO SAD ALL THE TIME???

And yet…
And yet…

6.5/10.
Because it irritated me, entertained me, and emotionally violated me in a way I cannot explain.

Would I watch it again?
Absolutely not.
I value my mental health.
But also… I might hate-rewatch a few scenes because I’m weak and stupid and Boun looked hot TT TT.

I've Seen Enough

I only watched this for Kay & Code. Overall, they're great. I feel terrible that Code and Kay's acting capabilities were wasted with this show.
As for the show, the acting, the plot, and the script are terrible. BounPrem has no chemistry, and despite having been paired for quite sometime remind me of the days in BL when fish lipping was the go to kissing method. I only gave the acting/cast a 4 for the side actors, but the acting is a 1 star. There's far too much filler and useless moments that should've been scrapped in favor of furthering the plot. It's hot garbage and an entire mess. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

BounPrem didn't come to play

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Revamp every week and now I'm excited to binge watch all episodes (maybe not episode 5 cuz BounPrem acting really tore me up) and try to catch all the details and hints they left.
From what I gather, a lot of people enjoyed Revamp so those on here that didn't, you all just don't know how to enjoy a show for what it is or have fun.
There was so much detail throughout the show and I could see how much Boun and Prem have grown as actors. I think Boun is an underrated actor, but can we talk about Prem? The small details, the mannerisms, the way he chose to speak, Prem really did his research and put his all into his character, Punn. I know from the Revamp special episode Prem had even said he did research on what antique owners wore and got to add his input into the wardrobe.
I'm also so happy that Boun's passion project was able to come true. All those years from loving vampires, writing a script, refilming 3 trailers, to finally being filmed, I'm so happy and proud of Boun. And as someone who read the novel way before watching the drama, I enjoyed both and treated them as a stand alone with the same plot vs. comparing novel and drama. I think overall, did I think Revamp was perfect? No I don't. But I think Boun was creative where he went with a different approach with the vampire lore and in particular how his character would act. It was all so refreshing and I also loved how in the end, it wasn't a basic ending with how Ramil and Punn wanted to go forward with their relationship. And I had such a fun time watching it each week as well. I do think if GMM wasn't doing the whole 10 episodes things, Revamp could've been expanded to 12 episodes and the story could've expanded and explained more in detail.
Another appreciation will be towards DIrector New and the production team. I think they did an amazing job with cinematography, angles, the locations they shot at, but more importantly, I think New did great at working with a genre that's out of his comfort zone. He did his best and worked with what he was given, which was a 10 epsiode cap.
I also need to say that I appreciated the balance of intensity, seriousness, humor, anghst, and most importantly romance. I loved how Boun and Prem gave a different type of chemistry this time vs. the chemi in Between Us. The chemi just keeps getting better each drama, so I'm very excited what's in store for their next project.
