So-so
The plot itself is great and fresh, unique.I felt that there was no chemistry between the main couple, and the series focused too much on the ghosts and Khemjira's problems. I wondered if BL was just a small addition to this series?
Honestly, I liked the side couple the most. I had to watch some episodes at an accelerated pace because they dragged on too much.
The music, the plot itself, and the special effects are amazing, but everything else is so-so, and I'm glad I'm done watching.

''it was chaotic.” but I can explain it to you easily
Spoiler alert!The further you watch, the more chaotic it gets from episode to episode. When the truth came out in episode 9, I thought it didn't make sense, the scenes were arranged randomly, and I admire people who didn't get lost in the story. I decided that I had to put it all together into one logical whole. So if you don't understand, maybe my comment will help you understand the whole thing.
1. There are two worlds, but they are connected by one point:
- the present (2020s - the main character and his team)
- the past (~100 years earlier - Mas)
This house is the intersection where time is “broken.”
2. The main character died (Khen)... before the viewer saw it on screen.
His death is not shown explicitly in the series because:
– he himself does not know that he has died,
– the viewer is to discover the truth at the same time as him.
What REALLY happened:
He dies ON THE WAY to this house, during a storm.
Even before the crew starts having this “loop” and problem with leaving.
3. How did the death occur?
As they are driving towards the house:
– there is very heavy rain
– the car skids
– they hit a tree/barrier (fragments of this later flash as “glitchy visuals”)
– everyone dies
4. Was Mas a ghost?
No.
That was the biggest twist.
Mas lived 100 years earlier.
We saw his past... but a ghost sees the past differently than a living person.
That's why it looked like they were both in the same
time. Mas generally saw ghosts throughout his life, including Khen. Khen, being a ghost, was not visible to other people around Mas.
5. Why does the truth only come out in episode 9?
Because only then:
– the viewer gets the ENTIRE flashback from the car,
– his body is visible,
– Mas tells him that he knew from the beginning that Khen was a ghost,
– his own memories begin to come together.
He was NOT aware of his death.
6. Why were his friends “going around in circles”?
Because, as a ghost, he was pulling them into this zone, unable to understand what was happening. He was not aware of his death.
It was his lost soul that caused:
– the scenes to repeat themselves,
– the returns to the house.
When Khen realized and accepted reality, he joined his friends, saying he had something to do . Their souls departed together.
7. Sad ending or happy ending?
It's a sad ending, but wrapped up in a “poetic” finale.
– They are not together.
– They are in two different times, two different karmic dimensions.
– Mas is left alone, with only the hope that maybe someday, in some other life, he will meet someone again who has the "soul of Khen"
The series is very mysterious, but also interesting because the plot is rather original. It's just that you can really get lost in it all!. for me the ending was disappointing, I didn't even think there could be an ending that wouldn't bring the characters together.I think the ending wasn't satisfying.
btw I hope I helped someone understand all this, although I'm not sure if I understand it well myself.

it's not bad but it's not good
Probably my expectations are high because I usually only watch Thai BL. However, I was tempted by the vampire theme, because since I like this subject, I should like everything about it. Not quite true.I swear that the only thing I require from Korean BL is a happy ending, nothing more, because I can't expect anything else. Holding hands and touching lips is the maximum intimacy. Here we got a kiss, but it was so bad that they could have skipped it. It's just a pleasant series for the evening just before bedtime, because you won't think about it.
I also understand Korea's conservatism and the fact that BL series are being made there at all is already a lot, but I think that for someone who watches Thai series, this is not a series worth watching.
If you like sweet interactions, handsome actors, a lack of intimacy, and a vampire atmosphere, then this is for you.
If you're a fan of Thai BL and want hot scenes, give it a pass because you'll be bored.
If you're looking for a more emotional Korean BL about vampires, I highly recommend “Kissable Lips.” It was hard for me to forget this series, and it's still one of my Korean favorites despite the lack of passion in the relationship.

stop hating on Ming
To be honest, I personally think it's good that Ming got a happy ending with Joe. Of course, he did a lot of inappropriate things, including lying and manipulation. However, let's remember Ming's phone call to Joe before his stunt scene where he died. If he was a bad person, he could have found a replacement for Joe, he wouldn't have had to cry and wait for him to come back. Despite this, he still believed that Joe would return. It's sad that Ming had to lose Joe to appreciate him. Unfortunately, many people in life don't appreciate something because they don't think about loss.If we were to talk about a BAD CHARACTER, it would be Tong. I really can't stand him. I think he saw that Joe had a crush on him, so he took advantage of that fact.
- He deliberately married May for a comfortable life.
- He ran up debts that May's family paid off.
- Because of him, Joe almost died.
I also thought that so many people hate Ming, but compared to other characters from other series, he really wasn't that bad. It was shown how he undergoes an internal change and how much he loves Joe and how much he is willing to sacrifice for him. I just thought about Vegas from Kinnposche, who was a terribly evil character (my favorite 😂), and yet I saw that many people were happy with the positive ending for Vegas. So why should I hate Ming? :(

Not bad, but Not good
Not bad, but not good.I have mixed feelings. For the first time in my life, I wanted the main couple not to get together. Hua, this is a BLACK FLAG!
There was real potential for this series, but all these situations where Hua, who is an enigma, made Alfie pregnant... For me, it's too much.
Plus, that jump forward in time three years later, where we don't get a happy ending for Shen Wen Lang and Gao Tu... Damn, that was so disappointing!
So.. I enjoyed watching it, but I watched it out of curiosity to see what would happen next and how the story would unfold, rather than for pleasure.
