You should go watch it to destress after this show as it is much lighter and easy-going. Offroad's character is extremely different, he's cuter and sweeter there.

Yeah, a lot of terrible parents in lakorns get away with lots of things, since as we all know, Thai culture like most other Asian cultures value filial piety to a much larger degree than Western culture. Even in this show, all 3 children are desperately trying to get their evil father's approval, both conciously and unconciously. It's baked right into the mentality and culture.

Yes, Vegas is more monsterous as a super red/black flag than Pheem if we consider purely actions, but why some people might be more sympathetic (I am not saying the OP) is due to the contrast of both characters potrayal.

Vegas is a complete psycho -> becomes slowly 'tamed' by Pete like a wild beast -> eventually becomes humanized
vs
Pheem is a manipulative bastard from the very start -> shown that he's still manipulative even while trying to fix things -> probably will still remain so till the end

Since Pheem is more scheming and deceitful than Vegas, Vegas feels more simple-minded, thus the mentality of "i can change him" becomes stronger from some people's perspective. The amount of romanticizing VegasPete online is crazy.

Also, the timeline of events is important. Vegas tried to kill Pete BEFORE they became a couple, while Pheem tried to kill Than AFTER they became a couple. Shooting your already established lover in the back is wild.

Finally something good happens in the show right at the very end of ep. 8! The evil father got shot, but no idea if he's dead or alive... at least we probably won't see this piece of trash for a while. 🥳🥳🥳

And Risa the evil queen is indeed emerging into her final villain form 👩👑💅

I agree that Chet is really honest in his feelings about others and thus is a much more 'likeable' villain than sneaky manipulate ones like Risa and Pheem. Plus he does show a human side when he's with Park.

The problem for Risa is her sexist father who obviously preferred the two sons. Thus, using both brothers to destroy each other is a better way for her. She doesn't have the standing or resources to challenge either brother head on.

I don't even think that Chet is greedy in the sense of wanting the position for money and power. He wants the position just because he has been told from young by his mother that he's the only son from the "official wife" and the others are just trash as they are the children from the mistresses. If his toxic mother (and father) didn't put such ideas into him, he may not have turned out this way...

I agree that Risa is smart to manipulate both brothers against each other, but apparently she was surprised that the second Chet was removed and Pheem got in, he would betray her immediately and shut her out from the project lol...

I feel like Than is waaaay too soft and easy to push over as well. He didn't even complain much that Pheem thrashed his shop.
Even if Than eventually forgives Pheem, it would be extremely hard for the audience to do the same... Pheem's redemption arc and suffering needs to be like 10 episodes long, much longer than Ming from My Stand-In.

Wow, Pheem has officially achieved #1 BLACK FLAG love interest status in all of BL history! Shooting your BF in the back, visiting him in hospital like no big deal, promising to "never hurt you again", then knocking him out 15min later with a metal pipe and dumping him alive into a grave... 😱

Even Vegas from KinnPorsche is like: Pheem, can you just chill out a little, you are seriously more messed up than me!

Agreed, its so wild that a typical corny plot point in other BLs is now being used as a psychological weapon in this one. There have been many red flag MC love interests in other BLs but probably none have been such a strategic and manipulative thinker as Pheem, except maybe Charn in Laws of Attraction and Tyme in 4Minutes.

I agree, Risa is definitely the most strategic thinker and it would be a delicious irony for her to inherit the company after so many years of sexist putdowns from her father in preference for her brothers. Also, her lady bodyguard is the most competent as well.

I feel that although Pheem does have the killer instinct to run such a massive empire, the problem is that he would constantly run into conflict with the moralizing Than. Of course it would be the most predictable fairytale ending if he as the MC inherits it but it just doesn't feel as realistic or interesting.

Wow the show in ep.5 is really not hiding the BL hints between Chet and Park anymore haha... one is a useless director son that always causes scandals and the other is a useless bodyguard that can't kill the same target THREE times despite bringing in all the big guns. They should both just resign and run off together into the sunset lol! I hope they will be a couple by the end of the show (as a pair of idiot screwups).

I think that now with big bro Chet temporarily defanged by the evil father as his interest now aligns with Pheem (although Chet is still a massive a**hole), the secondary villain would probably shift to sis Risa who is trying to manipulate and tear Pheem and Than apart (main villain is still the father of cos playing them against each other). She and her fearsome lady bodyguard would definitely be a step up from Chet and Park. Risa is definitely as scheming as Pheem and her bodyguard is also a tough match for Than.

I'm also curious about the plot with Jason and if he would cheat Pheem or Pheem would cheat him in their shady deal. Both sides seem to be equally immoral and unreliable business partners lol.

I feel that Ep.5 is interesting as it confirmed two points:
1. Ramil not only can read minds, but manipulate and delete memories as well similar to what he did to Pong (Punn's brother). The tell-tale sign is his nosebleed. If I were Punn, I would be quite afraid what memory is real and what had been distorted by Ramil.

2. Ramil is not only the leader of his trio of vampires, but of every vampire, this sets him up in direct conflict with the hunters. He is supposed to be the last of his Jonoel line, so does that mean the other vampires are from different lineages?

Some issues that may be a continuity errors which I hope that the drama can explain:
1. If Ramil is trapped in that painting for 100 years, he wouldn't be able to physically save Punn, Elise and Jett when they were in the orphanage.

2. Punn dreamt of his kiss with Ramil before he got released and he got nosebleeds then. So could Ramil actually manipulate minds while he was still trapped? This means he never lost this power. In ep.4, Methas tells Punn that Ramil has restored all four of his powers. Why getting trapped in the painting didn't cause Ramil to lose this power compared to the other three?

At the last part of ep.6, two love rivals (one each for Peem and Khem) are introduced which activate their jealousy and thus accelerate their romantic development as hinted in the ep.7 preview. I believe the drama would move faster and develop the romance a lot more than the book since romance is what people wanna see in a BL drama and KengNamping have a large and active ship fandom. I trust DMD will deliver on the romance aspect☺️

Yea, it makes her a much more complex and sympathetic villain, tying back much better to her villain origin arc of tragically losing her own baby.

Some people just love a good ice prince and slow burn romance where the main love interest helps the MC multiple times while claiming he 'doesn't care' when it is very obvious he does... lol
Khem doesn't know it yet but he's already in Peem's heart. Now that 2 love rivals have been added, it would accelerate the process haha.

This is a slow burn BL so they took some time to establish the lore, the characters and the story first before the romance. There are hints of the romance and chemistry between the main couple, especially during the flashback of the past life in ep. 3-4, but if you are expecting them to say "I love you" to each other, then it has not happened yet in 6 episodes. Peem is a real ice prince that needs some time and effort, but it is very clear that he does care for Khem and saves him from trouble multiple times while claiming he 'doesn't care'.

If you are referring to if there is any chemistry between the 2 main actors Keng and Namping, then yes I think these 2 actors have a natural and wonderful chemistry together. You can watch DMD Friendship The Reality (season 1) to see.

Hehe thanks! I think Ramil is cunning and tricky, as would a vampire leader that has lived for hundreds of years. He is not as soft and cuddly as he seems, even when he's with Punn.

I think the nosebleed occurs whenever Ramil enters Punn's head. Ramil's fourth power revealed was mind reading. It is also possible for Ramil to put those kissing thoughts into Punn's head even before they occured. Punn also seem to suffer from gaps in his memory (can't remember how he got to bed), suggesting memory manipulation. Thus, I think the sign whenever Ramil uses his fourth power on someone is that the person's nose will bleed.

The final power of Ramil that was revealed was mind reading. I think it would thus be likely he can do memory manipulation as well, just like their bed kissing scenes right at the very start (Ramil secretly putting this thought into Punn's head). Remember that Punn also can't really remember if he did or didn't go up to the rose garden or what happened after until he saw his torn shirt, which suggests some sort of memory loss. Also, when Ramil's final power was revealed, Punn's nose also bled, which could be a sign that Ramil had used his mind reading/control powers.

I think although Ramil is sweet to Punn, he also has a cunning and tricky side as well. He obviously used Punn's blood without his knowledge to revive his fourth power. Since he could read Punn's mind, he knew that Punn was a hunter from the very beginning and Punn liked him enough that he didn't have the heart to kill him anymore.

Yeah Banjong is romantic, but he's too easily swayed by others in his group, twice! Its cool that Kosol and Banjong (the two suitors) are so different in personality. Kosol the manly hothead is a better match for Prince who is more sassy, while Banjong the romantic scholar is a better match for Worredej who is shyer. The problem is that Prince knows Worredej likes Banjong, so she can't go all in on Kosol. Thus, this forms a love triangle.
