NOUR!!! 🩸

Nour!!! This has been on my list for the longest time. I knew the actors would deliver, and the director has talent. If you've watched Top Form, you'll probably notice some similarities, not in the story, but in how the series was filmed and directed, especially the NCs. It was Boss Wasa coded! HAHAHAHA.

Nour has such an interesting premise. It's like a vampire trope but with a little twist. Nours are immortal, and the only way they can be killed is by a special Nour. That's the biggest difference between them and vampires. See? Very unique!

The series mainly focuses on three couples, and if you've finished reading this review, you'll probably identify which couple I'm biased toward. LOL.

Acting-wise, they all did great. But let's talk about each couple!

JamesKen

It started out well, and once again, the premise was good. However, things might have moved a little too fast for me. (OMG, am I becoming a fan of slow burns now??! Going back!)

As I was saying, I was just surprised by how quickly they fell in love. Or maybe it's because they're really meant for each other. Well, that's just me.

Next, we were told from the start that Ken was a Nour, but I didn't really see him making the most of his abilities, except for that backflip! I'm still surprised TongTong did that without a double. Okay, back to the point. HAHAHAHA.

I mean, they're police officers PLUS they have Nour powers, but they barely took advantage of those abilities. They're always getting overpowered by their enemies. HAHAHAHA. I would have loved the series more if the sweet moments between them had been toned down a little. I mean, guys, we're dealing with a serious situation here, and people are dying, but we're more invested in how sweet these two are. 🤣

I wish we had seen more of James training to face a Nour. Their first NC, though, with the flashing lights and camera angles, was good! (Again, Boss Wasa coded!)

And that argument on the rooftop? I wish the dialogue had been more impactful because this was the peak of their goals: James finding the Nour who killed his dad and Ken finding the Nour of his dreams. But somehow, the scene felt a little dull to me.

And is it just me, or do I hate James' personality? He's so selfish! His baby just wanted to die after hundreds of years of torture. LET HIM! If it weren't for James almost dying, he probably wouldn't have let Ken go.

And please help me understand their past! So James really was Ken's lover in his past life?! Am I understanding this correctly? Because I still have questions!

RainPanin

They're there because they're there. HAHAHAHA. 🤣

I didn't feel like they had much of an impact on how the overall story flowed. But I love these two babies, so I'll take this as an introduction to their partnership. Hopefully, we'll get to see more of them together in the future!

JiChita, MY BABIES!!!

I've been rooting for ToeyPhoom ever since they were introduced after Top Form, and GOD, I WAS RIGHT TO ROOT FOR THEM!!!

Their story felt much more solid to me. They're PhiNong, but you can already sense the attraction between them from the beginning. Then comes the push and pull until they finally establish the relationship they've both been wanting. I loved how their relationship developed!

Chita, my baby! Him being a Nour was NOT ON MY D@MN LIST!!! 😭

But I started getting suspicious when Pear told JamesKen that she would never kill Tee. That's when I knew she wasn't lying because, yes, she loved Tee. Then there was Chita throwing up human food. BABY, YOU WERE NOT SLICK ENOUGH! 😭

But Chita, I still love you, though.

Chita's backstory really helps you understand him, especially what he did to Ji. And him feeding Ji with his blood, leading to one of the BEST NCs I have ever watched in my entire life. (I am NOT overreacting!! And again, Boss Wasa coded!)

That NC was insanely hot, controversial, and passionate all at the same time. I don't even know how to explain it properly. The emotions, the intensity, the way everything unfolded? HELLO??? I WAS WATCHING WITH MY WHOLE SOUL. 😭🔥

And then we get to the saddest part: their final lines as they said goodbye to each other, but it was more about finally being free together.

WHO DIDN'T CRY THERE???!!! 😭😭😭

See who my favorite is? LOL.

But of course, I still have questions!

There are some things I don't know if I misunderstood or if they weren't fully explained:

Why did Ken's true love die in the past? What happened to Chita's first boyfriend? How did he get killed? Was James a Nour in his past life, and is that why he can see colors?

If anyone can explain these to me, PLEASE DO! Because I need answers. 😭

And can we talk about the OST? The OST is so good! I'm still LSS-ing over it, and it's been weeks now. HAHAHAHA. 😭

Overall, I loved that I watched this series.

Maybe I'm just really a fan of series that focus on the story while balancing it with romance, without compromising the main plot. I love the sweet moments, the chemistry, and the NCs, but I also want the main storyline to have the depth and development it deserves. And that's where I think Nour could have done a little better, especially with JamesKen.

Still, I enjoyed the experience, and JiChita definitely made this series more memorable for me. Their story, their chemistry, and the emotional weight behind their relationship? Yeah, they got me. 😭❤️

And now, for my final and VERY IMPORTANT request...

PLEASE GIVE TOEYPOOM THEIR OWN SERIES!!!

WITH THEM AS THE MAINS!!!

PLEASEEEEE!!! I BEG OF YOU!!! 😭🙏🏻
