ONE OF THE BEST!!!!!
This series is so amazing.....When it first started, I thought it wasn't going to make much sense but as I continued from the second episode, it started getting better and with each scene.
Let's start with acting.
Perfection by all the cast.
I've got nothing to really say about that.
Everyone played his/her role perfectly or close to perfection especially with Win and Wit. Those two, brought their characters to life.
The music was amazing..... I didn't really enjoy the main OST but falk about the background dramatic OST, which is like a mixture of metals and orchestra, DAMN!!!!, they made the movie effects so realistic.
Talk about camera effects and graphics, man everything was so damn good..... And I'm not someone who is easily impressed.
But the BEST of the BEST is the story.....
The plot lines are so amazing. Especially the twists, although there were more than most BL series I've watched contain, the plot twists didn't make the story hard to keep up with. Each plot twist had its own unique way of making the story better and better. Putting in more suspence and actions made it harder for me quit watching the series.
I also love that it has an open ending where audiences are left to speculate what happens to a possessed Kaew and if there's going to be a second season.
I applaud the writer of this series, all the actors and actresses, and the rest of the team who made this. This series deserves more audience and awards.
I hope more like this can be made.
I'm gonna rewatch it numerous times.
Congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏽🎉👏🏽🎉😉😉😉

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

WHAT THE FUCK DID I SUBJECT MY EYES TO??!!
First off, to call this movie crazy is an understatement. This movie is bat-shit, cuckoo for puff puff, crack head wrapped in a world of blood and gore insane.When I saw the cover of the movie, I thought it would be your run-of-the-mill bully gets comeuppance movie. HOW WRONG WAS I.
Everyone in the movie except perhaps the parents, grandad and the kid sis of Haruka, everyone else in the small town has lost their goddamned braincells.
Almost all of the parents in the village are consumed with themselves and their expectations of their teenage children. Those that show a bit of concern are massive enablers. Do whatever you want parents.
And don't get me started on the teacher. I know a teacher's job is a herculean one - I know cos I'm one myself - but this teacher is totally useless. Though she was bullied when she was a student herself, she should have used her past to become better and stopped the bullies but she just kept quiet and just puked her guts out in almost all her scenes. She's just as bad as her students or even worst than they are.
Then the students or do I call them Teenagers from Hell. You can't even root for anyone. At one point, I was wishing Haruka would just lose control of her psychotic state and just set the whole village on fire 🔥🔥.
Anyway, the movie is quite good but don't go in expecting a rom-com.

Mixed feelings
The story line was OK...Acting was actually much terrific but I feel like the story could have been explored much more than what is currently happened.
I hope there'd be a season 2 with better storylines and please, let there be more than one plot twist. There's been too much same plot line twists in many of the BL series.
Many times, it's either about a series secret ex or cheating.
I wish this story could explore other options where BLs could have more meaning to love than just two guys or girls starting a relationship.
The title is just great and it goes literally according to the lines but I feel like much effort wasn't put into making the series stronger.
Can I see some changes??
Thank you.
Congratulations
