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.

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.

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.
