Keeps you hooked till the very end
Honestly I went into watching this series without any former knowledge of the actors and the story at all. So I didn't expect too much from it but it was a pleasant surprise.The series keeps you entertained from the very first moment till the very last. It is the perfect combination of bl and thriller. The visual effects, the cinematography and the music are excellent. The acting is great too, but you can definitely tell the differences between some of them. If I have to choose someone I would probably say Pavel's acting is the most standing out, out of all of them.
Altough I really enjoyed watching the whole series there's some things that could've been better.
The plot twist wasn't really that big of a plot twist to me to be honest. I was expecting something different, more unexpected. Also I feel like the last 2-3 episodes could've been made into just 1. I felt kinda frustrated how they wasted so much time and weren't really rushing to catch the killers in time. I liked it tho that there were so much happening even in the last episode
It's definitely not a perfectly executed story, but I think it's definitely worth a watch. I really reccomend this if you watched Khemjira and you're looking for something similar in vibes and quality. You'll definitely get hooked as much as me

A perfect 10/10!
I wanted to watch this because it looked really intriguing when they first dropped the teaser for it, as well as I wanted to see more of PoohPavel after Pitbabe. This show blew me away. The plot of this show was so good! Everything was well thought out. Every issue and conflict was solved, relationships and character arcs all had a satisfying ending, and the whole show was just so enjoyable from start to finish.I loved the mystery of the show! Everything with the ghosts and rituals was so interesting. The ghosts were creepy as well! I loved getting to see them all try to figure out what was really going on, and I loved that it mixed supernatural with real life murders. I loved that we needed detective work as well as supernatural and spiritual help from Thup. I loved the reveal of the who the killer was too! I loved trying to figure out who it was throughout the series!
For the characters
Starting with Thup! I loved Thup so much. Poor baby has gone through quite a lot. I was really happy he wasn't involved with the murders just because I liked his relationship with Singha a lot. I loved what he brought to the show with not only being able to see all the ghosts, but his knowledge of everything spiritual as well. I absolutely adored his relationship with Singha from start to finish. They were so cute together!
Now onto Singha! I loved him so much! I think he was my favorite character in the series. I loved that we got to see into his past with King, but also his trauma with his family. It was so cool seeing him be a safe place for Thup when he was seeing ghosts. I loved how he was a cop and wish all cops were like him. Seeing him open up more and more to Thup, as well as come to peace with his past, was so beautiful. And like I said before, I loved his relationship with Thup so much.
King! I hated his character so much at the beginning, but they did such a good job with giving him a good redemption arc. So much so I really liked his character in the end. The way he said goodbye to Singha was so mature as well and I really respected it.
I loved Mek, Darin, and Sey as well! I was really happy with how Sey and Darin's relationship played out over the show and liked them as individuals as well. Mek was great as well and I thought it was funny how often he was with Thup and Singha during a flirty moment.
Other things I loved!
-Everyone did a phenomenal job with the acting! Pooh and Pavel especially! Their acting really got to shine in this series.
-The makeup team did a great job with the ghosts and the bodies for the ritual. Truly creepy!
-The OST is PEAK! I listen to it all the time. I loved all the versions of it they used throughout the series as well, especially the piano version.
Overall thoughts
I just absolutely loved this show and looked forward to it every week! I'm truly going to miss it! I have no complaints about it at all. A true 10/10

A Horror BL That is Comforting Me
It’s a bit sad that GBYFD has ended because it became my comfort show, even though it’s horror-themed. The series is a mix of horror, mystery, thriller, and romance. The plot is good, though it’s not overly scary—either it’s intentionally mild or I’m just not easily frightened. I was also mostly focused on the romance between Singha and Thup.Speaking of their relationship, GBYFD feels very different from Pit Babe when it comes to romance. In this series, the love story is a slow burn—not forced at all and very natural. Their kisses and sweet moments are incredibly romantic, and the way Singha looks at Thup is so convincing that you can genuinely feel the love between them.
Normally, I’m not a fan of slow-burn romances, but in this series, their love develops so naturally that it never feels dragged or artificial. Every time they share a sweet moment, I find myself blushing and giggling.
As for the side couple, they have good chemistry, but their storyline is fairly typical. Still, I appreciate that they were clearly written as a real couple, not just friends or a one-sided love situation.
The story is also easy to follow, unlike many other horror or mystery series. The killer was quite predictable—I already had a feeling about who it was from the moment the character was introduced and started acting innocent.
In terms of acting, Pooh has improved a lot, although he’s always had talent to begin with. Pavel is also a strong actor, but whenever he cries, his aura completely changes—it really stands out. There are no pointless scenes or unnecessary characters; everything is connected to the main plot. The production and cinematography are excellent—you can tell the budget wasn’t cut.
Overall, I enjoyed this more than most other horror BL series, although there is another horror BL that I also rated highly.

MASTERPIECE
This stands out as a series that not only meets expectations but confidently exceeds them. With a compelling narrative and emotionally grounded performances, it manages to strike a strong balance between intensity and heartfelt storytelling, "although some actions felt a bit rushed towards the ending but the plot in general was impressive and still kept me tuned"But what truly drives the series is its character work, particularly through its leads. Pavel’s portrayal of Singha is defined by control and presence. He approaches the role with a quiet intensity, allowing emotions to build gradually rather than forcing them. This restraint makes his key moments even more impactful, giving the character a sense of depth and realism that holds the story together!
In contrast, Pooh’s performance as Thup brings a sense of warmth and emotional openness that perfectly complements Singha’s intensity. His portrayal feels natural and sincere, making Thup an easy character to root for.
Notably, in emotionally heavy scenes, Pooh shows impressive range! "i was awed" his expressions and delivery carry a rawness that adds weight to the narrative without becoming overwhelming.
The dynamic between both characters is one of the series’ strongest assets. Their contrasting energies creates a balance that enhances both the emotional and narrative progression of the story, "personally I didn’t like the story arc for the second couple it didn’t make any sense, but i can let it slide and hopefully they get their own series soon."
Beyond the performances, the series benefits from a clear tonal direction. It maintains a consistent atmosphere that supports its themes, allowing viewers to remain fully immersed. The storytelling is focused and while simple in structure, it is effective in delivering emotional payoff.
Ultimately, Goddess Bless You From Death succeeds because it understands its strengths and leans into them, strong performances, emotional sincerity, and character-driven storytelling. It is a series that resonates not through complexity, but through execution, making it a highly satisfying watch!
It's a series is would definitely recommend to someone.
I am looking forward to poohpavels new series their dynamic feels so refreshing to witness. I hope they go far in this industry!

I would say it's kinda a slow burn, so don't expect one of them to be head over heels in love right away, that will come over time.
Furthermore, it's really full of ghosts, who are portrayed in such a way that I was really scared several times :D (you also have jump scares, so to speak).
I also have to say that I love the relationships between all the characters, whether romantic or friendly (although one character annoyed me until the very end :D an unnamed cop eh eh). Anyway, I liked most of the characters and I enjoyed the series much better than I expected. I know that it was already well rated last year, but I was still a little afraid of it. And honestly, I didn't need to, because every actor in this series can act really amazingly. The whole thing is really well-crafted and I think this wasn't the last time I watched the series. I recommend it to all lovers of horror movies with action and some real romance (Don't expect any crazy 15+ scenes, they aren't there)

So close to perfection
I really REALLY liked this one. The chemistry between Pooh and Pavel is amazing, and I'm not just talking about NC scenes. They work so well together.The story is interesting too. Its a horror bl for sure. There are mysterious moments. There are scary moments. There are also funny and sweet moments. It had me hooked.
I watched every second on the edge of my seat, until the final episode. Writers. Please. Listen to me. The ending is so incredibly important. This ending could have been better, which was especially disappointing given how good the rest of the show was. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it overall and rate it highly. A better ending gets 10 of 10.

Exceeded my expectations!
My first experience with PoohPavel was with PitBabe. While I enjoyed it, I wasn't overly impressed, so I approached this new drama with some hesitation. However, it completely exceeded my expectations.The plot was well-crafted, with suspense, gore, and murder mystery elements thoughtfully executed. The romance was woven into the story nicely, although it might not be entirely believable – personally, I don’t think we would welcome murder suspects into our homes with open arms. Still, the development of Thup and Singha's relationship felt gradual, which made me very invested in their story.
Pooh has also shown significant improvement. While I didn't think he was bad in PitBabe, I'm glad he had the opportunity to grow and refine his speech. His development is evident in this drama's acting.
The low point for me was the ending, which felt a bit rushed. The fight scene was not as well-executed compared to the earlier ones, and the connection to the whole plot could have used more attention.
Overall, this drama is really good, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys mystery, murder, or thriller genres.
P.s the soundtrack and the OST are so lovely! I thought they complemented the story beautifully.

A Horror BL that's actually scary
This BL truly is amazing. I want to keep this spoiler light so I won't go to in-depth but I really want to commend the series for its balance of the romance and horror plot.I've seen an other review say that they felt like the sweet romance between Thup and Singha didn't work because it doesnt suit the overall tone of the show and I have to heavily disagree. I loved the more or less cookie cutter romance between the two because they were a nice refresher after some of the more unpleasant images of corpses and ghosts. So the romance part was really well executed expecially because there was with the small exception of King no unnecessary drama in their relationship with no real misunderstandings. King's villain arc in their relationship could've easily become overbearing and annoying but they've concluded that part of the story rather quickly.
The Horror Plot was really good tho with one or two minor flaws but still it managed to be actually scary and made sense (for the most part). The ghosts were scary, the real killer/culprit was good if kind of predictable and the music and cinematography added to the overall eerie atmosphere that the supernatural aspect of the show was going for. There was however one thing i found slightly stupid (if i didn't misunderstand that part of the show). How tf did the police not check the spot were the seven bodies were found the first time again? Like all of the victims for the second ritual were just chilling there for a few days and no-one thought hey let's maybe check the last crime scene!?!?!?!?! Yeah idk about that part but I'll forgive it since characters in horror stories typically aren't the brightest.
Definetely 10/10 tho would recommend 100%

Brought something new and intriguing to the table. A horror BL, say no more
While I am very much aware of the loopholes / drawbacks etc. with everything aside I personally enjoyed the show very much. A show is good when you randomly start thinking about it while being engaged in something else. That is what this BL did to me.The plot was intriguing, scary, it made me hold my breadth for a long time. The way the writer had put horror, mystery, black magic and romance in one series made me astonished. The pace was amazing. The ending could have been a lot more better as they did leave a lot of point unresolved. It was rushed but taking that into consideration the rest of the series and plot was really well made. The way the case slowly unresolved itself was much better than I expected. I loved how the romance is not the main focus of the series however the actors delivered solid chemistry and it is definitely makes a big part of the plot and integrated well with the whole horror theme. It is definitely on the scarier side but at the same time the plot managed to keep a suspense in it that didn't make the 13 episodes feel boring.
One of Change's best direction and cinematography. It wasn't over the top but it truly brought the scary element in it. There was a lot of hard work that went behind to create all the scenes. The dummies, prosthetic make up, props and everything else that made this drama a sold horror thriller, I want to give my kudos to the crew for arranging them. In behind the scenes I saw the cast going through different trainings like forensic equipment usage to familiarize themselves with everything. That's true dedication.
A big round of applause for the cast. I can see tremendous improvement in everybody. Pavel literally became Singha. I thought I will have a hard time getting used to Babe as Singha but he looked so hot and acted so well as the inspector. Pooh might need some more experience on the voice (Change please give him a voice coach), his expressions were definitely on point. Honestly in Pitbabe for mee PoohPavel's chemistry didn't stand out much but her I fell for them. Topten and Michael came so strong this time. I was so stunned with how much they were into their character throughout. Lee is such an underrated actor, I loved every scene with him. My first time seeing Otto and wow he absolutely killed his role. Rest of the cast also did fantastic job. The actress playing the female ghost was fantastic, deserves more appreciation.
I think this is definotely one of the most well made dramas with a great plot and acting. I wished the ending were better but it's Change so. Even with the rushed ending the world building, plot progressions and acting was so on point I gave it a 10/10.

história muito criativa que te deixa querendo ver cada vez mais
sou uma pessoa que dificilmente consegue ficar presa em episódios de séries sem se entediar. além disso, quando começo um drama novo, involuntariamente, foco muito na parte do romance, pelo menos quando se trata de bls. mas esse aqui conseguiu me prender de forma que eu tinha que ver um capítulo após o outro e o enredo romântico acabou totalmente ofuscado pela criatividade do roteiro, a história é muito cativante e as atuações somam muito na boa experiência. me surpreendi bastante com o conjunto total da obra e como ela aborda a cultura tailandesa de forma tão interessante.Was this review helpful to you?

A Perfect Blend of Horror, Heart, and Outstanding Performances
A wonderful series, I'll miss waiting for Friday to see the next episode. A series with excellent plots. The make-up used for the “ghosts” is very well done; in fact, I must admit that I was scared quite a few times, but luckily, between one horror scene and another, we also had a breath of fresh air thanks to the love stories. The story between Thup and P'Singha is beautiful, perhaps a little unrealistic, but still wonderful. I really liked Lee in this series, I can't wait to see him again in another series, and maybe as the protagonist. Michael and TopTen, even though they are a secondary couple, did a wonderful job, making me emotional and happy for them. I did hate P'King, it's true, but luckily in the last few episodes he woke up and realised which side he was on. Pooh from Pit Babe has improved a lot in his acting and I'm really proud of him, keep it up.SPOILER ALERT
I had already realised for a while that Thup's father was behind everything and that he was Thup's father, but I didn't expect Bom at all. While I'm here, I must and want to congratulate Victor because he was magnificent in his role, especially in the final scene, which gave me goosebumps; WOW!

No bloody thanks
Horror no thanks! Skipped a few episodes and probably didn't finish it.I think it had potential if i was horror fan but i definitely couldn't watch this at all.
Overall it is not a good show for me personally. Not great but good. And I may But this is definitely a first in the realm of BLs. Even though it is not perfect, it does open a trailblazing path to a whole new world of shows in the Y industry.
