IS THAT ALL?? THAT'S IT??
I'm not saying that the movie is bad. But it's a sore disappointment for me.
Hear me out. Put down the pitch forks and tiki torches especially Caskey and Jos fans.
Good sides
I the think the concept was a good one
First the acting is very solid from everyone as expected. Chemistry was good too.
The music isn't that special but you can't also write it off
I think overall it's quite enjoyable if you block out your brains and decide not to question the plot.
The Bad and Ugly.
The plot was full of holes that were so glaring
The fact that the aesthetics of the very first trailer which is a chef's kiss is so different from the end product is what bothers me a lot. The very first trailer showed a darker aesthetic and the fact that it out very little was what got me hyped for this series. The shift to a light tone and then try to take itself seriously was just a letdown. It lowered the stakes of the series dramatically.
I mean vampires immune to sunlight, garlic and other traditional methods was a great idea and a good script could have given both villain, anti-hero and protagonists higher stakes but GMMTV had to GMMTV themselves again and ruin it.
A huge plot hole was the villain. I feel like the Apasiri's character (Thara) was just shoved into the twist as the villain just got a twist sake. There was no villain arc or foreshadowing and so she felt like a last minute decision just to get a villain. Her character was just wasted cos Apasiri played the villain to perfection but then the script was huge letdown. Even her powers of precognition and recognition were poorly mishandled.
Another problem I had was the fact that the issue of the Golden Blood was nothing but just barely bones.
-How/When did the vampires first discover this golden blood??
-Who was the first vampire to discover it??
- How does it work for vampires??
-What chemical properties made it "golden"??
-Why was it also dangerous??
A whole lot of questions with this golden blood.
I get that certain things in movies must remain a mystery but this isn't one of them. The series is about the Golden Blood and it's even in the title.
There are a whole lot of questions and problems with the series. I didn't enjoy it at all.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR YOU. YOU'LL ENJOY IT IF YOU CAN SHUT YOUR BRAINS OR YOU'RE JUST A CRAZED FAN OF THE CAST WHO ENJOYES ANYTHING REGARDLESS OF QUALITY.
Shut your brains out and you'll get a blast
