?♂️ Series Review: [GMMTV Vampire BL Series]
wish the action scenes felt more realistic or that they had been excluded altogether if they couldn’t be executed well. A supernatural theme doesn’t excuse unrealistic physical fights; it should enhance them. When it doesn’t, it just becomes laughable.
Acting & Characters
It was fascinating to observe how each actor handled their role.
I once thought Boun was the stronger actor and Prem kept a wall between himself and his character, but now I feel the opposite—Prem seems to have improved and connects more deeply with his role, while Boun feels slightly detached. This makes me think it’s all about how well a character’s traits fit the actor.
Some of the supporting cast felt wooden, but Barcode has shown noticeable growth—both physically and as an actor. And I must praise Mark (Methas) for his portrayal; I truly enjoyed both the character and his performance.
Story & Structure
There were some inconsistencies between the trailer and the actual series, but after finishing all ten episodes, I was pleasantly surprised. It turned out better than I expected.
The story flows nicely, even though, like many Thai dramas, the final episode feels padded with filler. The last episode could easily be shorter. Still, I appreciate that the show didn’t drag out unnecessary melodrama—it kept things relatively focused.
One big issue I have with many GMMTV series (including this one) is emotional detachment in the final episode. The supposed “big fight” between good and evil lacks emotional impact because the villains are never fully integrated into the story. If the evil side isn’t active in the main characters’ lives throughout the series, viewers can’t care about the final conflict. It ends up feeling like an afterthought rather than a climax.
Romance & Chemistry
The relationship between the main leads was interesting but could have used more emotional exploration. The romantic storyline feels solid though.
Still, I appreciate that the show avoided unnecessary comic relief—a refreshing change from the usual GMMTV formula. The overall atmosphere stayed consistent, and I was never pulled out of the story by misplaced jokes.
Themes & Execution
This series feels a bit different from the usual GMMTV lineup—it’s slightly darker, more mature, and not reliant on cliché humor. That’s probably why I ended up liking it more than expected.
It’s not fiery or groundbreaking, but it’s stable, safe, and competently done. The main weakness lies in the lack of real tension or danger—vampire stories should make you feel unsettled, but this one mostly made me feel relaxed. The danger between the lovers was stronger than the danger between good and evil, which unbalances the tone.
Dialogues
Dialogue remains one of GMMTV’s persistent problems. Too many lines feel staged, as if the actors are simply delivering words without real emotional connection. Crying scenes alone don’t equal good acting; what’s missing are authentic emotional shifts—anger, excitement, vulnerability—that make characters feel alive.
Final Thoughts
This isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s definitely one of the better vampire-themed BLs from Thailand. It’s well-structured, atmospheric, and emotionally consistent, even if it never reaches the intensity or innovation of other top-tier BL series.
If we rate it out of five, I’d say 3+—good, enjoyable, and relaxing to watch. It may not excite seasoned viewers or win new audiences outside the BL community, but it’s still a solid entry that proves GMMTV can handle something a little different when it wants to.
