Some series entertain you for a while, but WU stays with you long after the final episode.
Everything about this drama felt incredibly well-made. The writing was engaging, the pacing was excellent, and every episode had a purpose. The cinematography was breathtaking, the visual effects were beautifully done, and the production quality was on another level. Every frame looked cinematic.The biggest strength of WU, however, is its cast. Nani and Sky gave career-defining performances. Their acting was powerful, sincere, and emotionally captivating. They didn’t just play their characters—they became them. Their chemistry was effortless and made every emotional scene unforgettable.
In my opinion, WU is GMMTV’s best production to date. It set a new standard for storytelling and production quality. This series deserves far more recognition because it is truly something special.
Without a doubt, this is a 10/10 masterpiece, and I hope many more people discover and appreciate it!!

1. The CINEMATOGRAPHY? Absolutely FANTASTIC.
2. The ACTING? Great and LEGENDARY.
3. The PLOT? A complete MASTERPIECE.
The premise, the ending, the meaning behind the show, and the characters themselves everything was perfect.

Having love hate relationship with this series
I was so excited to see GMMTV finally do an original fantasy series, but my expectations just kept going down. The plot feels rushed and doesn't explain the world or its premise clearly enough, so it was hard for me to get invested.I've never watched SkyNani's work before, and when people said they're a bromance cp, I was like, "Cool, maybe they won't do fan service." Oh boy, I was so wrong 😂 They do all the shits BL cps do except kiss or rail each other. I do think they have insane chemistry, but some of those scenes felt so questionable because it was like they were forcing viewers to ship them right from the start instead of letting it happen naturally.
The demons are also funny af because they look like mascots 😭 I couldn't help but lose immersion every time they showed up. It's such a pity they didn't have a bigger budget to make the fantasy setting more believable. And I HATE the product placement in completely unnecessary scenes. Singha was literally playing the drums in this intense moment, then suddenly she's drinking a freaking LACTASOY?? Like hello??
Acting wise, I really have to salute all the actors who don't speak Chinese but still managed to memorize all those lines, especially Sky and Krist. That must've taken so much effort. And Krist though... holy shit. His acting was spectacular. He completely embodied Li Pou, and you can tell this role really challenged him as an actor. I love seeing talent like him shine. He deserves an award for this role and I'm not even exaggerating.
The OST is SO GOOD, and the opening sequence is beautiful. If this series had a bigger budget and a tighter script, it could've easily been one of GMMTV's best action fantasy series. Such a pity.

Bromance is superior to BL ✋️
Bromance is superior to BL - End of discussion ✋️ This series is yet another one that proves that point.If you won't watch Wu because you're afraid of horror, let me tell you as someone who has extremely low horror tolerance, this has little to no horror at all. So don't worry about that. The entire magic, witchcraft thing can be handled with ease.
I loved the idea and the story telling. The animation and special effects used were of good quality and adds to the visual appeal. The pacing is well done with almost no plot holes. Acting is good enough too. I would say Nani is better off being the top than the bottom (hope you understand the point even if it's not a BL). But yes, both Sky and Nani presented a good performance. Godji also did a very good job.
The entire Chinese thing was a bit too much 😂 Yes, we are all reading subtitles so it doesn't make a big difference but still. Was it needed? I don't think so 😅
Loved the song Destiny by FLIO. The instruments blessed my ears 🥹
Ya, was waiting for it to finish airing to watch it together, and it didn't disappoint me. I enjoyed the watch.

this could have been amazing
The idea was promising. It had so much potential. Wu came with an interesting concept, a fantasy world, unique characters, and impressive production elements. The CGI, the atmosphere, and the variety of characters were all there. On paper, it had everything needed to become something special. But somehow, the execution stayed on the surface.Watching Wu felt like eating a pizza that looks absolutely mouth-watering—the presentation is beautiful, the toppings are exciting, and you can't wait for the first bite. But once you taste it, you realize it is missing something. Not bland, not bad, but lacking the seasoning that would make it unforgettable.
The fact that I finished the entire series says that Wu is still enjoyable to watch. It has enough charm, visuals, and interesting elements to keep me invested until the end.

Allora.
Diciamo che in fin dei conti la serie è si bella e carina. Diciamo che gli attori hanno recitato bene. Diciamo che le musiche hanno il loro perché. Diaciamo anche che la trama è molto particolare. E diciamo che avrei visto benissimo un cameo da parte del nostro enigma preferito. Diciamo pure tutto questo. L'unica cosa che però non possiamo dire, nemmeno sotto tortura è che la serie sia solo un bromance, perché nemmeno in The Untamed ho visto alcune delle scene che ho visto in questa serie (e comunque, honey you are familiar, visto che la scena di quando fanno quel rito per legare le anime è identica a quella in The Untamed quando sono nella grotta con il filo dei Lan). Detto questo, indipendentemente da tutto quello che possiamo pensare rispetto ad una specifica circostanza della storia, va comunque detto che la GMMTV questo tipo di storie è proprio brava a proporle. A parte i personaggi principali (anche se vi devo dire, non sono proprio la più grande fan dei personaggi interpretati da Sky) mi sono piaciuti moltissimo quelli secondari, sopratutto il personaggio di Great, di Singha e di Goodj (per non parlare del cameo di Phuwin). Overall, se appunto si va oltre alcune piccole cose, tipo per l'appunto che si sono scordati la bromance due porte accanto, la serie è molto molto piacevole (e anche rapida).Was this review helpful to you?

BROMANCE? MORE LIKE BOYS-ROMANCE!!
SKYNANI did it again! With their INTENSE CHEMISTRY!!!Pete, a young unfortunate lad who has lost his career and fallen broken to life, carrying a fragment of a demon's soul, meets Niran, a mysterious shaman who can sense Yao.
Together, they venture to solve mysteries and try to capture Yao and face dark forces.
The plotline was slightly thrilling, hooking you to the essence of nature: heaven, earth, and humanity. It grounds you with its utmost moral of how life actually is and how humans could be. It teaches you that even if life is crazy—empathy, trust, patience, hope, and resilience could shape our future and us better.
KRIST did remarkably well in his evil role. I couldn't even guess it was him at the start. I loved his character regardless of anything. When he was killed by his own master, Qui Rong, whom he served with gratitude and pure worship, hoping he would take him only to face the reality of his lord's temper, I must say I was quite satisfied. It's the realness right there. No superior is capable of showing mercy, the show concluded.
Upon that, as Niran believed sealing Qui Rong was their only way, seeing him not fighting against but understanding what Qui Rong felt and respecting him was unpredictable.
"Be that heaven or demons, they're no different."
The quiet tranquility of this show is that it mentioned the crisis of evil political leaders. When there's a demon, heaven will deal with it. But when there's evil in the leader of a country, the whole country will eventually fall apart. Niran's strong, diligent nature impressed me as he further insisted on saving his country amidst danger.
There is no way I didn't love Niran and Pete's duo. Their friendship is what you could call EVERYTHING (Yes, that too! >0<) The amount of trust and support they have for each other is so honorably gratifying. They're the SOULMATES; one could give up their life for the other, no kidding.
"When someone I loved is in danger, be that my friend, my sibling, or my buddy, I do need to save them." - Pete
Their backstories are pretty potent, each moving from their doubts and diffidence. And as they deserved, each being each other's confidence in life, believing in who they are had me sobbing.
And hello, is this what they call a bro thing? Is sitting on your friend's lap, playing a silly fight with your so-called work partner whose souls are so deeply intertwined that they FEEL each other wherever they go and are, IS IT COMMON?
NAUR HECKING WAY IT IS!
(wdym I get to see NANI'S WAIST AND THEIR GIGGLES??? *crying loudly)
On the second thought, even though the CGI could have been a little better with the fog, it still entertained me.

Underwhelming
The premise was quite good and the CGI is good too but after the first half, everything just felt so underwhelming and disappointing. The drama is not scary at all if anyone is concerned. Also the series doesn't know whether to promote thenleads as bromance or a BL because they keep hinting and dancing around fate and connection. Figure out what the show is and stick to that instead of trying to mislead the audience.My main issue is with the plot itself. It is a very slow moving show so I had to watch in 1.5x minimum. The scenarios of illusions was boring, the main fight was a dialogue, the spirit world was boring (although I liked the emotional moment between the leads), and the ending was confusing. I expected more from the ending but no action was happening. And the physical fight scenes were also a bit sloppy. I could give details on all of it but it would be major spoilers.
Overall, the acting was good. I liked all the characters. The male leads are good but I didn't like the hints suggesting they might feel more deeply especially after being yelled at by their fans that this is bromance. Suddenly everyone is saying it's not bromance. Sometimes fans do nothing but ruin a show for others.
Anyway, there is no romance just the writer director playing mind games.
I also want to make a quick note about the intro theme which I loved. Other than that, the show is okay for it's genre. A bit overrated. You might enjoy it if you are a fan of the leads otherwise you're not missing much.

IT'S A MASTERPIECE
Spoilers are there....THIS ONE IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I just completed the series. I don't know how to express because it just blew my mind. The series is so goated and the ending took me to heaven!!!! Guys this is a MUST WATCH.
1. Story :10/10 Actually I'm a big fan of action fantasy. The writing of the story is so good. Like we really don't know what to expect next. Introducing something I have never heard of "yao" and i found that very interesting and curious. Demon 👿 I LOVE IT!!!! I don't want to spoil too much. And SOUL BINDING??? Excuse me? Life spirit realm...Heaven Nature Humanity..finale really shows all these... CIRCLING BACK TO FIRST EPISODE.. That was so good.
2. Acting:10/10. I mean it's skynani..they can even act through eyes. Niran(sky) did a good job . It was so different from hsf. Like he don't have so much physical acting but need to show emotional acting through eyes and small gestures And he did an incredible job . Pete(Nani) omg! He acting as a demon was chef's kiss(Episode 3 and 5 ).His emotional crying scene( ep 4 and ep7) . His action scene was top notch. Action choreography was so good and he did an incredible job there. Although I was not so attached to other characters ep 5 did really gave me so much about other characters too. And krist!!! Fucking good. Man did an incredible acting. First time seeing krist like that and he killed the role..
3. Cinematography and production: 10/10. CGI was so good.. cinematography was incredible. The shots and colour grading was top notch. Locations are so beautiful. All the ritual scenes are directed so good. Got goosebumps in ep 3 ritual scene. And cgi of soul binding was so good 😊 Chinese elements are so good. I never seen Chinese elements in thai series and it was so refreshing to see that. They really did a good job speaking mandarin. HARDWORK!!
4.Soundtrack: 10/10 . DESTINY by FLIO still gives me Goosebumps and WE ARE ONE by skynani. They gave this song right after soul binding. It was great 😃 And all background music was so good.
Overall it's a 10/10 show for me. Niranpete are married!!!! End of discussion 🤭🤭🤭 Don't miss this masterpiece 🤌🏻

It's shounen-ai and it's perfect.
I honestly have no critiques for this series. I loved the ost, I loved the sfx, the fighting choreography, the actors, the characters, the story, I loved it all. Everything was perfect.The story was short and concise with no pandering subplots. The characters were fun and engaging. The relationship building between Niran and Pete was beautifully done. The fighting choreography was genuinely impressive (if they bring this level of choreography into the High&Low series then it will be something to look forward to). Did I also mention how much I loved the ost Destiny by Flio? It's such a beautiful song and they utilized it perfectly within the show. Most series have a tendency to overplay their osts to the point where it gets annoying, but this series had just the right amount in all the right places.
SkyNani got so much hate and trolls repeatedly bashed them and accused them of queer bating. A completely ridiculous sentiment. I've never read or watched a shounen-ai that got so much hate. Asexuals are part of the queer community too, they're the A in LGBTQIA+, trying to erase them and throw a tantrum because a series was made that caters to that audience is simply acephobic and awful. And people who who keep saying that this isn't BL clearly don't know what BL stand for, it's Boy's Love which is what this series is about, two boys who learn to love and trust each other. It's an amazingly thoughtful and well done series and I hope SkyNani make many more like this and stay partners for a long time.
