Revamp the Undead Story

Utter Disappointment

It's disheartening to see the stark contrast in quality and care between GMMTV's hetero shows and their BL offerings. The hetero series consistently receive the benefit of strong writing, skilled acting, competent directors, generous budgets, and thoughtful cinematography, they are given every resource to succeed. Meanwhile, BL shows are consistently treated as an afterthought, leading to a cycle where the company prioritizes quantity over quality.

My frustration has hit a new peak after watching "Revamp." It is the perfect example of everything wrong with this system: a show with a terrible story and downright mediocre acting, where the production was clearly okay with delivering a subpar product. They gave us a fundamentally broken show and hoped the BounPrem ship alone would make us accept it, relying entirely on their fanbase to consume this rubbish.

This is why I am so tired of fans providing inflated ratings based solely on their favorite ships, rather than a show's actual merit. We must collectively raise our standards. If we don't demand better, we will never get it. To quote Tyra Banks, some of these shows are so bad you "wanna give you a 0 but that's not possible so I give you a 1."

While we have been gifted a few exceptional BLs, they are rare exceptions. Why can't studios take a creative risk on BL narratives? We should be sold a compelling story first and foremost, not just a marketable pairing. I don't care about a ship if the actors cannot deliver a believable performance, that is the simple truth.

All I want is for BL stories to be treated with the same respect and given the same production love as any other genre. I am tired of the constant letdown. Many fans accept mediocrity because BL is still considered a niche market, but being niche is no excuse for inferior quality. This genre and its audience deserve the same level of excellence, and it's time we stopped settling for less.

This was so confusing…

I have to say, I was so excited to watch this, and was let down in SO many ways. I had to force myself to finish all 10 episodes, hoping that it would get better along the way, just to be let down.

I’ll start with casting. I LOVE BounPrem and they were the main reason I was so excited for this series, but there was just something so off about their acting? Where was the passion? The supposed “love” the characters had for each other that was so strong? Both characters just felt so flat and borderline emotionless sometimes.

The storyline all together was a LOT. So many things happened within 10 episodes and it felt like none of it ever reached a true conclusion. I was left with more questions than I was answers. The whole concept of going into Punn’s memories really made no sense to me, and I can’t figure out if I’m just too dense to understand it or if it really made no sense. How was Punn seeing things before Ramil ever entered his memories to alter them? And if Ramil put his half brother into eternal sleep, how’d he wake up and somehow magically possess Jett? Also, why was Ramil SO chill with the fact that Punn killed his entire bloodline??? Punn was like, “I’m sorry I killed your family and kept all their necklaces as trophies” and Ramil was just like “yeah sure, no problem!” like….And time just stopping when they go into the painting apparently? If that were the case, when they came back out after Ramil was healed, then wouldn’t there have still been a fight going on between the vampires and hunters? Why did Pokpong faint from getting bit on the arm??? There were just SO many plot holes and confusing things happening throughout this series.

Overall, the cute and funny moments were nice, but I would’ve liked to have seen the more serious and dark side of the plot explored more. How do vampires become vampires? How do they survive without a blood source? Ramil said he was born a vampire, but the hows of the other brothers becoming vampires was never really explained or explored. If there is going to be a second season, I’ll be hoping for something much better than this.

Comedy vampires with some darker moments

A lot of people were disappointed like myself to see that they drastically changed the vibe from the pilot from intense, dramatic and dark to comedy with some fighting and a bit of vamp family drama. There are still some good parts and its worth giving a go if you like the vampires but don't expect something dramatic like the pilot. It still seems more exciting than my golden blood which was quite a let down for many as it really didn't take itself seriously.

There is still potential after only 2 episodes for this to become more exciting.

The main leads are always great together with their chemistry, I'm just not sure why the chose to initially have punn act so uncaring about learning of vampires existing. he's just like: ok lol lets roll with it. Doesn't even question it at all or even show much fear. (we learn why later on but this was very unexplained an an odd take early on)

The special effects are lacking in areas where the scene changes and don't flow too well like the bird feathers.

I hope this isn't going to be another GMMTV special where its trying to hard to be a high school/college drama just with a vampire costume on top.

It's the best youth/fantasy BL I have watched

I shouldn't be writing a review after only 2 episodes, but I just can't keep the excitement down.

This is the first youth/fantasy drama I have really enjoyed in the BL univers. I started to watch the drama, because it's a BL drama, but I quickly got sucked into the fantasy univers and now I'm so invested in the story.

The chimestry is on point!
The acting is great, even when one of the character has goofy personality traits, the acting is serious, which makes it so enjoyable.

The whole cast i GOLDEN.

As far as the genre goes there is a bit of everything; romance, fantasy, drama, comedy, horror, action and yes BL.

The cinematography is also done very well.

I can't say, how I'm gonna feel about this drama, when it finished, but as of right now, it's already one of my favorit BL's.
It's very exciting to see, where it's gonna take us.

Well executed story

I love the series due to it's unique plot, the story line is so good and well executed, each story progress you won't get bored.
The casts are also so fine, and great at acting. Nothing of that awkward acting. It's super well casted that everyone shines.
The leads chemistry is so natural as they work for years now.
Many are worried about comedic aspect of it but really it's not even that noticeable, it's not forced. It's more like lighthearted scene that is included in all stories.
So yeah, I really love it. Keep rewatching while waiting for new episodes and I noticed some hidden secrets in each scenes. No spoilers though! But this is more deep than others think

I thought that in my 70-odd years I had seen everything in this world so far.
However, I was wrong.
The director is terrible, the acting is predictable and bad, the story leads to nothing!

God help King Rama X

It's neither a romance, nor a drama, nor a mystery, nor a comedy....when the screenwriter and the director don't know their job, this is what you get. ACTING - terrible, desperate, beginner, but not surprising for Thailand because they are all trained actors, without having completed an academy or an art school.

What happened

What happened ?

Their was a good cast with good potential ... but what with that scenario that want to play between serious and comedy but doesn't balance it properly ? It's hard to follow what the characters are thinking as their attitude is changing so quickly and without proper reasons.

I can't blame the actor beecause the scenario is like this that nothing is logical it probably doesn't help to get into a character whose behaviour is ungrounded. And what with the ridiculous "Dracul" character ... this is plain grotesque. In what world are ALL the protagonist living that being surrounded by vampire they never questionned someone with that name and that is NOT a spoiler as anyone can see it coming ...

The music isn't great so not helping there.
And what with the rose garden ... it's not the main point here but couldn't they make it slightly pretty ? I felt nauseous at that mall type of cheap untasteful garden each time ... how is that supposed to be romantic or touching in any way.

Yes ... Boun and Prem are lovely and lot of the cast has all my sympathy ... therefor I feel sorry for them.
