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?
The dumbest people on the planet solve a supernatural crime
Story starts off good but crashes and burns at the end. This could have been a 6 episode series but they had to stretch it out to 13 episodes. And they do this by using tried and tested method of making the characters take dumb actions to add filler material. From "oh no my friend is in grave danger but first let's flirt a bit" to "I'm surrounded by enemies but let me ignore them and ask this dude if he's doing okay and allow me to get jumped", you find them all in this goddess forsaken series.Was this review helpful to you?
The MC was good
I had zero expectations when I started watching this because I had no idea what it was about. So I was very pleasantly surprised.The main characters were great, they had a good storyline, and I really enjoyed the mystery surrounding the murder and the occult aspects of the story — and all of that in a BL! The story itself felt like a masterpiece. At times, I even had to pause and remind myself that this was a BL because the storytelling was just that good.
And contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed the last three episodes just as much. The reveal of the murderer and the resolution of the whole case were very well done. Again, considering that this is a BL, it was fantastic.
The only thing I didn’t really like was the second couple, the two doctors. I didn’t find either of them particularly likable, and I also felt that they didn’t add much to the police case.
Overall, this drama felt like a genuinely well-crafted story, and I really hope to see more BL series like this in the future.

It was amazing, I love horror and BL, so obviously when both are done well, I love it!
Make up are really great on ghost. I didn't find it scary, but maybe because I'm too used to it...
I loved both couple, they were cute. I was more focused on the secondary couple and the main plot to be honest..
And I think Pooh did improve a lot (it's still are to me to catch who are a really great actor but I wasn't anooyed by his acting this time. Maybe It was Charlie the issue..)

Che succede con le serie in Change?
è già la seconda volta che noto questo pattern con le serie della Change. Partono con botto e poi è un po' come se scomparissero nell'ignoto. Che voglio dire almeno per questa non è successo al 100%, visto che comunque i protagonisto sono PoohPavel, che sono l'unica coppia a cui la Change tiene al 100%, però più o meno. Comunque per il resto questa serie mi è piaciuta (e credo che, visto che sono un'amante dell'horror avrò anche opportunità di rivederla) e ho apprezzato sicuramente la dedizione agli effetti speciali e alla creazione di questi ambienti molto horror che fanno il loro lavoro nel terrorrizzare lo spettatore. Mi è piaciuta ovviamente la coppia secondaria, cioè MichaleTopten che sono LA ragione per cui ho visto la serie. nulla togliere a PoohPavel, ma come ho detto, li rispetto e li seguo in quanto fixed, ma ora che BenzGarfield si sono separati l'unica coppia della Change che finisce nella mia Top10 sono proprio loro. Detto questo, onestamente non ho tantissimo da dire, ma solo perché al netto del fatto che la serie sia carina e tutto, sono così delusa da quello che è successo in Change che la recensione parlerebbe più di quello che della serie.Was this review helpful to you?
The horror aspects and the suspense were so good it wouldn't even matter if this wasn't a BL.
I have to admit, having seen way too many real crime investigations, at first I cringed... But the moment I told myself it wasn't about the accurency and just went with the flow, it got me hooked. And the supernatural aspect just blew my mind. The BL was there, and plenty of it, but could have been a bromance for all I care, because the storyline was so good it didn't need the BL to save it. The special effects were spot on. The acting was good. Asian supernatural creatures are just amazing, we Western people got werewolves, vampires and a few ghosts, but Asian culture has so much more depth, perfect for these kind of stories... The only thing I feel bad about is that I've never Rewatched crime series, because knowing the plot, knowing the end, is a bummer... So for me to say, I will definitely re-watch, indicates just how good this is.Was this review helpful to you?

Goddess Bless You From Death — When a BL Becomes Something Bigger Than Romance
I went into this expecting a BL. What I got was something way more interesting — a dark fantasy / crime mystery that just happens to have a queer romance inside it. And honestly? That’s why it worked so well for me.This drama doesn’t feel like it’s trying to sell you a couple. It feels like it’s trying to tell a story first. The romance is there, but it breathes naturally inside the plot instead of being forced into every scene. The world is heavy, spiritual, violent sometimes, and deeply emotional. The story follows a murder investigation mixed with supernatural elements, with Thup — a man who can see ghosts — and Singha — a police inspector tied to fate and protection — pulled into something way bigger than themselves.
And that tone matters. Because this isn’t soft romance fantasy. It’s closer to horror-mystery with emotional tension sitting under everything. That constant feeling that something is wrong, something is watching, something is inevitable… it stays with you. And when the emotional beats hit, they hit harder because the world already feels dangerous.
What really made this work is the chemistry between Pooh and Pavel. Not “fanservice chemistry”. Real, quiet, grounded connection. The kind where you don’t need big declarations because you can feel it in how they look at each other, how they move around each other, how the tension just sits there in silence.
And I think that’s why this drama feels like “a normal drama with queer characters” instead of “a BL trying to be serious”. The relationship isn’t sanitized. The tension is physical, sometimes messy, sometimes very direct — which honestly feels closer to real adult gay relationships than the super slow, innocent fantasy style we often get.
If I’m being honest about why I didn’t give it a perfect score, it’s because I could see where the story could have gone further. Some mythology threads could have been pushed deeper. Some emotional reveals could have hit harder if they were tied back into earlier plot points more tightly. But that might also just be me being used to heavy fantasy world-building and wanting everything to connect perfectly.
Emotionally though? It worked. The story feels haunting in that quiet way — not loud tragedy, but the kind that sits in your chest after you finish. And that’s why the rewatch value is weirdly lower than the quality. Because once you know the truth, once you understand the emotional core and the mystery, the shock is gone. And this story lives a lot in that discovery.
This is one of those dramas that proves BL doesn’t have to feel like BL to be meaningful. It can be horror. It can be fantasy. It can be crime. And the romance can exist naturally inside that world instead of being the whole point.
And honestly, that’s why it stayed with me. Not because it was perfect. But because it felt real inside something unreal.

What I found most fascinating was the treatment of spirituality. The series avoids the cheap cliché of mocking the supernatural; instead, it presents the spiritual world as something everyday and, at times, even comforting. The true horror doesn't come from the beyond, but from characters like Bom, who demonstrate how faith, when used to justify the unjustifiable, transforms into an absolute weapon of control.
At the epicenter of this tragedy is Thup. It’s heartbreaking to watch how his gift, acting as a bridge between the dead and the truth, ends up making him the prime suspect in a rotting system. It’s a constant reminder that in a corrupt world, trying to give a voice to the forgotten puts a target on your back.
Narrative Balance: I truly appreciated that the romance between Thup and Singha remained in the background. In such a suffocating atmosphere, a forced "lovey-dovey" subplot would have shattered the necessary tension.
Character Dynamics: Ironically, the secondary couple (Darin and Sey) felt much more solid and well-developed. Darin’s unconditional love, contrasted with Sey’s emotional blindness, provided a much-needed human layer to the chaos.
Loose Ends: The disappearance of King and the unresolved father-son conflict still bugs me. Was there high-level corruption to cover up the case? Most likely, but the script chooses to leave us with that unsettling ambiguity.
Performance: Pooh still has a long way to go with his diction before he can be considered a top-tier actor, but his facial expressions are spot-on. He conveys exactly what the character needs through his eyes alone.
A raw journey about what it means to die twice: first physically, and then through imposed silence. A must-watch if you’re looking for horror with actual substance.

You can't help but enjoy it; worth a watch
Ahhhhh the ending could've been done better. I will say this right off the bat. It needed something more climactic for sure.That said, its SO fun to watch. Thup's "curse" is executed so well and I was genuinely so scared in a lot of the episodes 🤣🤣. The ghost element is tied in very well and I also really like how Thup seems to know a lot about different rituals and helps along with the investigation.
On that note: the investigation scenes could've used better writing. I feel like they weren't asking enough questions and weren't securing enough warrants (idk if the laws in Thailand make it harder to get warrants?). I also think people should've been more suspicious of Thup in the beginning lmao (he's literally the only one on the scene of the crime).
Now onto the romance. I'm surprised people found it odd. I personally LOVED Thup's forwardness and downright cockiness, and I loved seeing Singha just give in eventually. Their romance is like a fresh breeze to the investigation, and I like how Singha is selfless when it comes to protecting Thup and wants to really help him however he can. Pavel's portrayal of Singha is honestly so so good, I would even say he portrays Singha better than Pooh portrays Thup. (Though I ADORE Thup.)
I did not find myself bored even once, and I was constantly hooked by the plot, the story, the romance. This is one series where I LIKE that the romance is almostttt a sub-plot. They really tried to show a well-done crime plot and I can respect that.
While the ending needed to be written better, this series is definitelyyyyyy worth a watch, and even a rewatch if you enjoy horror-esque shows.

Not a horror fan, but this was great!
As someone who is not a fan of horror movies or series in general I was going to skip this, but after seeing a lot of positive feedback I decided to watch a couple of episodes, and yeah I had to watch it till the end.First of all I'm always a fan when I can see actors develop. I wasn't a fan of PitBabe and mainly watched it for the second couple, because I felt Pavel and Pooh both needed bit more work with their acting (skipped season 2 all together). In this show, they just nailed their individual roles and the chemistry in general was soooo much better. Kudos also for the secondary pair, Micheal and TopTen did very well.
In terms of the story line, while I did have to skip around some of the very creepy scenes. the plot held together to the end and the length of 13 episodes was just perfect for the show. This was never going to be my favorite show bc of the horror elements, but as a crime/horror show it really kept me hooked until the end. If you are very sensitive horror and gore elements in general, this isn't it for you. However if you can tolerate those elements to some degree or even prefer them in a series I would watch this.
