Something was off
Waiting this series felt like forever! It was such a good come back project by Change company. You could see how much attention they payed on details. The places they chose to film where so beautiful. Whoever took over the hunting of sceneries did a great job. Same goes for the prop and make up teams. The ghosts were the MVPs the whole time. I consider the ghost the main character of the show (hope they got payed good enough). She played the role amazingly. I even got some jump scares.As for the plot, even though there was a story and the mystery over whos the "bad" guy, after all I felt mid season that it was getting a bit tiring and repetitive. Then the last eps got released and they got me hooked immediately. The plot twists shocked me to the point I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Not having all the episodes available to binge watch the ending was a bit of a torture!
I actually didnt expect it to be focused THAT much on the horror/mystery genre and the romance getting subsided quite a lot (which im not complaining about). Especially from PoohPavel. Their dynamic wasn't the same this time. It felt like something was missing and I think it was the way Poohs character was written. Way too soft golden retriever vibes. I wanted to see him more confident. And pls whoever was on charge over how they made him stand on kissing scenes the result was sometimes cringe! The geometry a body creates is really important on the viewers eyes.
The second couple, MichaelTopten, had an amazing chemistry with a great story. For me, they were the main couple. Michael's visuals this time was top! The hair color (which i got sooo jealous of), the glasses, the outfits. Everything was on point!
My conclusion is that I perhaps would prefer it to maintain the horror title but keep the rest of the relationships in a bromance level. It just makes a bit more sense for me this way. Not all projects should have couples.

Slow and Ridiculous
Oh dear! A lot of the time, I had to play this at 1.25 speed - very repetitive and slow.Pooh's haircut, to make him appear young and innocent was really bad, and just succeeded in making him look silly..
However, his adenoidal voice was much better than in PitBabe - up until he was crying over Pavel in the hospital bed.
I liked a lot of the support actors (from Pit Babe, too).
But, this was pretty bad, and not up to PavelPooh's standard..

2 AM Regrets and Social Media Scares......
As someone who loves horror, I feel terrified watching this series. Not because of the story, but I guess because I watched it around 2 a.m. every single night, which turned out to be a very bad time to enjoy this series...The story was actually good; now I have to remove my birthdate from my social media to hide it. It's actually scary knowing the day you were born can become a black magic advantage for some rituals.
My problem with this series is Thup's character. I watched Pooh for the first time in Pit Babe, but for some reason, I still feel like he is acting as Charlie rather than being Thup for this series.
Another thing is the way they wrapped up the series, which made me fast-forward through as many scenes as possible. There are thousands of ways to wrap up this series, but they chose the same way over and over again.

This was the best Thai BL of 2025?
Okay, honestly? This was the best Thai BL of 2025😍❤️I'm not really a fan of suspense thrillers, but I absolutely loved it. It was a little scary for me so I tried not to watch it at night so there were days when I couldn't watch it at all, but every night I was curious what was going to happen next.
Believe me I had multiple possible stories in my mind, but there were twists that I didn't even think about, and I loved that thing about it.
I was so into finding the culprit that for a moment I forgot it was about romance as well, there were times when I saw romantic scenes and went like “this is why aren't finding the killer because you guys are busy flirting, meanwhile the killer will reveal himself on his own, right?🙄" No offense, I love PoohPavel, but the story was just that good🤌❤️
The cutest moment was when Pooh softly grabbed Pavel’s shirt with 2 fingers, I swear I screamed into my pillow so much 😍❤️ I love watching Pooh being so small and fragile in front of Pavel😂❤️
Although I thought the end could've been better. Honestly the last episode did not feel rashed but it felt somewhat senseless. But overall I'll give it 9 out of 10, deducting 1 for the senseless ending and for other minor details that were missed apart from this I would definitely recommend it, if you love horror or thriller suspense then this one's for you❤️

the acting and rewatch value should have been a 10 but that damn second couple
I’m genuinely enjoying the story. The main leads are doing amazing and this character seems to suit them perfectly, inspector king i don't like you but it means you are doing a great job! shout out to the chaba ghost she is amazing, the real MVP.The pacing is good, and the plot is actually engaging. But please, that second couple is testing every ounce of the patience I have. They bring nothing but bland chemistry feels like that rubbish northsonic all over again, giving us unnecessary scenes that interrupt the flow. how am i supposed to believe they are ex and apparently are still sleeping together but no ounce of chemistry or tension detected🤦♂️i am begging on my knees, can they get less screen time? Just let me follow the actual story without their constant dull interruptions.

Dear directors and writers, TAKE NOTES
I knew this was gonna be good since it started, but I had no idea it could get even better than it was. It's not like I am a fan of ghosts, but this truly might've made me one. Storyline was interesting, original and the atmosphere was just right for a horror, left you a bit uneasy and tensed up, especially in the last episodes. Acting - both Pooh and Pavel incredibly improved and it shows mostly in crying scenes. Their acting felt really genuine and I loved how Pavel told us what he's currently feeling with his eyes. It was nice to watch actors who know what they are doing and did it with pure confidence and visible improvement. As for Ost, again, flawless to me. Genuinely one of the most beautiful and emotional osts out there.This sure was an era and in case some of you are wondering whether to watch it or not, this is your sign to take some snack and go enjoy this experience.

Love!
Every episode had me on edge. The actors did an amazing job. They portrayed their characters extremely well and made it all so believable. The cast, casting director/s, the director/s, producer/s, make up artists, coaches, extras, all the support staff obviously worked in harmony and are very skilled. This show deserves a lot of love.Was this review helpful to you?

IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T WATCHED IT, YOU'RE MISSING OUT
Phew, What a series it was! I'm amazed. I went into watching this series not expecting much. This was my first time seeing PoohPavel on screen. And what a first time it was. I loved them, their chemistry was on top. The horror and mystery parts were amazing. All those plotwists - truly something. The final episode? Oh God. I don't remember when the last time was when I watched an episode of such emotional rollercoaster. I wonder whether something will top that this year. Guys- if you still haven't watched GBYFD, don't hesitate, go freaking watch it cause you're missing out!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Goddess...what a great show...
After watching the disaster of the series called Pitbabe 2, I was reluctant to watch another series by PoohPavel, but damn, I was very wrong. This series is on a completely different level. At first, I was only afraid of the ghosts that appeared there, but as the episodes went by, another fear arose that the series would soon end, and I definitely don't want that to happen. The story itself was so intriguing, full of mystery and suspense, that every Friday I eagerly sat down to investigate and discover the truth alongside the characters. What's more, each of the actors has improved significantly here, especially Pooh, who made me emotional several times, especially in the finale. I LOVED everything about this series, from the plot, to the cinematography and characters, to the music. For me, it is one of the best series I have ever watched 100/10. It is worth every minute spent on it. I highly recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?

My first Thai BL and it was amazing!!!
First off, I love these actors so much. I have watched this 4 times within 2 weeks. I’m that obsessed with the story, I love ghost detective mysteries and this delivered. I’ve seen some people talking about stylistic choices and other plot issues and I’m here to cape for this show lolFirst, I loved that they focused on small details like making Thup have heterochromia because, in some cultures, odd eyes are associated with people who can see supernatural beings like ghosts and spirits. I liked that small detail and my first time watching I thought it was the actors real eye colors. I have seen people with different colored eyes and some do have a larger pupil especially if the eye experienced physical trauma. My only gripe on the eyes was the 10 year old version of Thup didn’t seem to have odd eyes in the flash back but that’s a small thing.
For the plot holes, I believe the most glaring for me was why not test the DNA of all people involved during the period of the investigation, even the YouTubers? If they had tested them, Bom would have come back as related to the hair on the clay doll they found the night that Ghost Hunt had infiltrated the crime scene. My only explanation was that they had created a profile for a man older than 30 years old since the crimes were happening since 15 years ago. Also, the YouTubers did seem like your typical dumb young adults who did stupid things for clout and views and likely not involved and the cops just wanted to scare them and have their DNA on file for safe keeping in case they did something stupid again.
Another thing that probably blinded the team was Darin’s accident which sidetracked them for a while (which is what the killers wanted). And lastly, the killers’ insane luck played a part. The ritual was both to extend their lives but also take in all the victims’ fortune. Considering that, I get why it was so hard to catch them, it didn’t help that the main perp was also ex cop :/
Another plot hole or weirdness that people mentioned was the Apple Watch not working with King but magically working with Bom. The simple answer is that it was discharged and King kept pressing on the button to try to turn it on but it wasn’t working. Those watches can barely last one full day unless you literally only use it as a watch. When Bom had it, he charged it (likely right at the abandoned mall) and used it to lure the team. As for Singha telling Thup to stay in the car, it actually makes a lot of sense because Thup could drive or run away as he was in an open space leading to the exit and couldn’t be locked inside the building. They didn’t know what they were walking into and didn’t want to risk giving them Thup since Singha was very sure he was the Saturday target. The problem was Thup didn’t listen (understandably since he’s worried), if he had stayed in the car he probably wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped.
Another plot hole people have mentioned was the use of the same crime scene for the new killings. My first watching I thought it was a different abandoned mall with a tree lol. Mainly because the outside of buildings looked similar but had different numbers of floors. The first was 3 stories and the second around 6-7 stories tall (I think). But on my 2nd and 3rd watch, I did realized that it was the same crime scene which makes sense with having to do the process again in the same place since it was interrupted but it means that the team didn’t think to check the original crime scene???
I can only attribute it to them being understaffed and doing everything secretly while the ghosts messed with them. Having the case closed also meant the abandoned mall becoming private property again since the developers wanted it back ASAP (which was the reason for the crazy push to close this case so soon.) I think the team and any logical person would assume that the developers would tighten security but they didn’t :/. In truth, I’m not sure if the production team didn’t have the budget for a second crime scene and try to make it seem like a different one and failed. Or it was just bad plot 😂 I sadly can’t defend this one.
I do have to say that the re-watchability is high on this one and I loved the characters, especially Thup and Singha. Thup is such a flirt, he would focus so hard on Singha at times it made him tongue tied. He would stare into his soul lol, while grilling King. I loved that birth day of the week coin scene because Thup was so possessive. Also, loved the twink top and beefy bottom dynamic, especially because Thup is quite dominant and possessive towards Singha which Singha seems to like 🥰

Acceptance
I stumbled upon this drama and ended up binge watching it. The actors portrayed themselves in such a wonderfully delight, and I instantly wanted to know more about them. I loved how the dynamic of each person in the show brought something to the table. I liked how the ending didn't go the way that I thought it was. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I really wanted one guy to get put in jail just because of his attitude. I also liked how they kind of downplayed the more romantic scenes. You knew what happened, but you just didn't watch it.Was this review helpful to you?
LOVEEEEEE
Not only did i become a fan of PoohPavel but i fell in love with BL because of this show as well as pit babe ever since i've watched multiple shows since. I love a good spooky/ supernatural show and adding men falling for each other in the mix i'm sat to watch it multiple times this might seem like a lot of praising but i genuinely love this show as well as the song Pray 10/10Was this review helpful to you?
