A true piece of GEM ?
The story is not told in a simple straight way. It moves back and forth in time and shows different points of view. This can feel a little confusing at first, but it also makes the story more interesting. It keeps you thinking about what is real, what is fate, and what choices the characters are actually making.Why this gem is underrated? Every episode of this series is a thrilling ride for me, filled with mystery and thriller also a sweet touch of love and romance. Love the series. I personally think that this series deserves same hype as Khemjira.

Good story, but the romance timing was just off
I had high hopes for this drama/series because I have seen Pit Babe and Pit Babe Season 2, both of which I really liked. In Goddess Bless You From Death, Pavel (as Singha) plays a detective who has to solve a case involving ritual killings. This role suits him perfectly, and he plays it convincingly. Pooh (as Thup) plays an orphan who can see ghosts. This role also suits him well, and he delivers a convincing performance.The story starts off with seven bodies hanging from a tree in an abandoned mall, and from there on, it remains engaging and interesting. The visuals, makeup, props, and cinematography really make the scenes shine. I didn't find it particularly scary, but I have watched a lot of thrillers. It did, however, have plenty of suspense and twists that weren't too predictable.
However, while I really liked the connection and chemistry between Pavel and Pooh in their previous work, it just isn't as strong in this drama. That largely has to do with how the romance is integrated into the plot. It feels as if the writers didn't quite know where to fit the romance into the series and just ended up dropping it in randomly. That was such a missed opportunity; the dangerous situations and high-pressure circumstances provided the perfect setup for heightened physical attraction or intense romance. I could have seen this getting pretty passionate, but apparently, the writers or directors didn't see it that way. The potential was definitely there, especially since this isn't the couple's first drama together, so things could have been even more intense than before—but unfortunately, it felt dialed back.
Apart from that, it is a good show, and I think others will definitely enjoy watching it.

horror romance
I loved the concept but I wish I knew more about the general religion of Thailand first. It reminded me a lot of the og thai horror that I loved when I was younger. But the production here was so much better.I made a mistake watching this right after pit babe(shared actors) so I kept remembering the names of those characters. But the actors still did a good job and I was on the edge of my seat several times wondering if they would all survive.
There wasn't as much focus on the romance as I would have liked but there was a good balance for bring a bl drama, a procedural, and a horror show. One of the issues was that there was often too strong of a difference from one second being fully immersed in a horror with the suspense building music and the next being a romance scene with cute music.
I would only rewatch it for the cute scenes between the main leads, but they're not as plentiful as other bls. I can see the appeal to relive the mystery knowing the truth.

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?
