Different from the original trailer!
I think most of us who were disappointed are more than likely only disappointed because the show was originally received to be a darker romance, I know I was really surprised at Ramil's personality in comparison to how he was portrayed in the original trailer. I also know that this is probably due to the project being shuffled from WabiSabi to GMMTV.I don't think it deserves as much hate as its gotten tho. The ending did feel a little rushed to me, and I was not expecting--after all of the emphasis on family--for Punn to just go live the rest of his forever in the very painting he released Ramil from, and that Pokpong would just let it happen. Personally I was a little bummed about the fighting scenes--especially at the end--but theres no doubt that the casting was well done, I think everyone fit their piece. The ending of the hunters really felt lack luster--but it was kinda nice that they got to return to being regular humans again instead of the constant threat of a supernatural predator (except i was really confused about all of the vampires being released from having to serve a hierarchal family and simply being trusted not to kill/harm anyone since that was very much at minimum hinted at prior to Methas taking over)
What really saved it for me was how open ended it was at the end with Methas taking over and Junior showing up as Moon Dal; hinting at a potential sequel with a vampireXwerewolf plot instead of a vampireXhunter one. I love Junior and Mark, and tbh Mark showed a personality I don't think we have seen in any character he's played which was really refreshing--we love actors with range~
I think there is potential if they decide to stick with the idea of a sequel, all in all a fun series--my only complaint is that I was expecting a darker/more serious series after we got the romcom from My Golden Blood.

mind-blender and not as bad as everyone says
I'll start off by saying--I still don't entirely know what happened in this series. That being said, the comments are dramatic as that lack of understanding is its only flaw.The concept/idea was super thought provoking, and given more time to fully flesh it out (longer than just 7 episodes that's for sure) it would have been a really cool production.
The actors are all extremely talented and showcased how each character was complex and had more depth than 7 episodes would allow to explore.
Personally? I enjoyed the series, even if I was asking myself what was going on the whole time.
However, I can definitely understand that this type of series wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.
If you were looking for a BL with a clear cut love story--then this definitely isn't for you.
I would love to see these actors in more, the fact that all four boys seemed to have some kind of chemistry with each other was what really kept me coming back for the next episode, on top of the fact that I really love apocalyptic-type series, and this one definitely scratched something in my brain.
So once again, in my opinion, the only flaw is that it was too short to fully explain what was going on in the story.
Truly had it been longer I think I would have enjoyed it much more, and all in all I am excited to see what Earth, Leo, Double and First bring to the table in their next series.

What the heck was that
I want to start off by saying--I know these two can act, so this has got to be a situation where the direction and script were at fault.I was so excited for this series before it came out--but it was sloppy and super disappointing. The story had promise, but the execution was all over the place and tbh really bad imo. I know both actors know how to do their job, but this was so insanely disappointing. The audio was off at times, the script was embarrassing and because of the direction it almost seemed like it was their first job. Some of the cuts were inconsistent and some episodes were just edited badly.
I can't wait to see them in other series, because they deserved better.

10/10 Actors 3/10 script
The actors were great, the plot/script was confusing--but maybe that was just the subtitles?Music was good, the concept (from what I could gather) was decent and could have been really great given more time, but I was confused most of the time about what was actually going on.
Jeon Yubin is great as always, loved the new actor who's name I didn't catch, would love to see him in more!

Grape plot ruined it.
There's no way its 2025 and there is a plot like *this*. This genuinely had so much potential.Apparently in the novel he does in fact ass*ult Mild in his sleep, idk if they changed it in the series or not--because I dropped it the moment they threw that bullshit in there.
There's nothing about it that's okay and the fact that there is people in the comments trying to justify it is really concerning, Do better.
The second couple is the best, hands down. The third--I really hope they got together because it was a cute dynamic. They could have 100% tossed that part out, or turned it into a sort of PSA as they did with the HIV and prEp side note from Kan's patient.
I am all for toxic BL's, give me the red flags of possessiveness and controlling behavior--they did not handle it tastefully.
Do yourself a favor and watch My Magic Prophecy or Dating game, they have actual plot and *consent*. If you want something more spicy I highly recommend the japanese adaptation to Love Sea called Love Sea: A Home For Lovers you get really good NC scenes and loads of consent.
I hope the MC's get decent scripts/roles in the future, I would love to see them really be able to show their acting skills.

part 2 came straight for your heart tbh
I know this is only the first story of part 2 but the acting along side with the heartbreak of this story kept me wishing I waited for the whole series to air so I could binge it all at once. Waiting every week had me internally screaming.One thing I gotta point out immediately is Tonliew absolutely killed it with the emotional scenes. Hy heart was actively breaking every time this man came to each scene teary eyed or with gut-wrenching sobs. I don't know how else to explain it, I am really impressed by actors who are able to make you feel the emotional pain they are trying to portray. Specifically the scene where him and Fah are on either side of his room door and he is lying to Fah about how he didn't want to see him anymore. I immediately thought of Namping in Khemjira after with lake scene involving (if you know you know, I don't wanna spoil a different series in this review), that sort of stomach-dropping hysterical sobs.
I went into part 2 knowing nothing about the novel and kept reading comments about Fah being 'a wolf in sheeps clothes' and boy oh boy were they not joking (and even more so after reading the novel like holy shit).
Their story was wonderful, none of that prolonged misunderstanding plot nonsense you get with a lot of BL's, the 'conflict' was understandable and Fah's character never held it against Phoon.
The friendship of this group of four (north, easter, typhoon and dao) was my absolute favorite, we love supportive besties. North was my favorite in part 1, this man is a ride or die and I was reminded over and over again how fantastic of a character he is. (and after punching phoon's dad, this mans biggest worry was 'oh shit what do I tell johan' like I cannot express enough how much I adore north) I hope we continue to see these four support each other in the next two stories. (although I know Nao and Tiger aren't as tightly involved as the other's but I am looking forward to their story nonetheless)
There were things that were different from the novel, but all in all I thought it was great for only having 8 episodes to tell the whole story with. (of course the nc scene's were *not* going to be novel-accurate, if you know you know, but that shouldn't deter or take away from the story imo)
definitely would recommend and am looking forward to the next story from part 2!

Brilliant Start, Rushed and Disappointing Ending
When the series first started I was really excited, there was a lot of potential and the story concept itself was exciting. The acting isn't awful but I think with a little more workshop time put in and a stronger script the acting could have been better.About halfway through it started to be less entertaining, maybe its because it was only 8 episodes long that I didn't feel there was enough emotion being felt through the acting, it started to feel more rushed and there wasn't enough push and pull from the love triangle-type thing they were pushing for.
The ending had me unbelievably disappointed, character deaths that left me feeling literally nothing. The characters seemed to just brush past it for being so in love/loving towards those that died? I think it could have been really meaningful to see a breakdown or two to really solidify the acting from the characters left. There was way too much that was left unsaid/unexplained/unseasoned for my taste. Peem showing up threw me for the biggest loop, and how Thara and Khun acted left me bewildered, there was no shock or emotion just an immediate 'you get the job' simply because he looked like Siwat, I assume the idea is Siwat reincarnated again? Somehow?
Overall, I thought it was okay, I just expected so much more from such a cool concept.
I do, however, hope to see the main three in other series in the future, I know this was Ongsa's first series and with a little more experience he could bring more personality to the characters he plays.

10/10 easily best of 2025
I am honestly surprised to see (although few) lower ratings.The amount of twists blew me away, for starters, they really keep you on your toes and coming back for the next episode.
The story for Ramphueng was absolutely heart breaking, and the actress did such a good job. The moments of emotional hysteria were played out so well by the respective characters--without giving too much away--I live for those moments where actors portray their character in such a raw format.
They fed us well tbh, with a few episodes being almost 2 hrs long--I really feel like we were spoiled the whole series. Waiting every week for the next episode was killing me.
all in all they genuinely did a phenomenal job and I highly recommend watching.
