Super fun and high energy, lovely setting!

Nut and ping are doing so well in this so far, they have become one of my favourite CPs since Pitbabe. Ping had to specifically bulk up for the role due to the initial backlash of the first pilot trailer and has really proven himself. Nut is in his element and super campy and feminine as a katoey/ladyboy. The costumes are great and the historical setting is beautiful and a nice change. The main character (woradet) has been using she/her pronouns so far so I will continue with them.

The series is lighthearted and humorous, not for those seeking something deep and serious. Its playful and a great mood booster at the end of a bad day. The kissing scenes are on point, episode 8 was really well done including the village drama right after it.

I'm enjoying the confusion around who broke the counts' heart where she is kissing all the locals in ep 1! Kosol is a hunk of a guy with bulging muscles and a pet tiger, the complete opposite of woradet who is becoming overwhelmed after being plunged hundreds of years into the past. There's humour, campiness, sexy moments and interesting side characters. Woradet is going to end up in many more difficult situations to come such as the taboo on gender and sexuality in this time period along with choosing from her various potential romance partners.

I'm hoping Kosol will be a force to be reckoned with and claim woradet as his and may have conflicts with the other suitors. Its interesting to see that he was not massively surprised to see Woradet back from the dead but was still eager to jog her memory of their affair :D.

Nuts performance is lovely to see as he navigates the various difficulties his character faces. This role is refreshing and suits him very well. The MC is very OTT and campy and some may think this is too much, however i am finding it to be fun and I think Nut will be able to balance this out throughout the series and portray the more serious scenes along with the comedy as we have seen so far in ep 1.

I absolutely adore this drama! Waradet is so cute and flustered all the time, big strong kosol is very tolerant and caring towards her even after her personality changed after the poisoning.

I'm also really enjoying seeing pop and lee finally get more prominent roles in a series other than pit babe.

There are some issues with a 'love triangle' but just see this as prince fighting waradets desires as she is in someone elses body and some of her feelings are not entirely her own. The triangle is resolved after about 2 episodes.

updating as i go along (don't watch if you have snake phobia)

I started this as I couldn't avoid it on TikTok, everyone is talking about it. Its pretty good but still falls to censoring and a dull ending. The kisses are very fish like and not natural, the dubbing is weird in places where there is a lot of unnecessary breathing sounds.

good points:
- Interesting plot - not too complex
- great acting
- sexual tension .

Bad points:
- Lots of snakes (can be hard to watch for some people)
- First few episodes are a bit slow to pick up pace
- Falls off towards the end

1st ep - I love that the main character is from a poor background and has many struggles with life and love, this makes him interesting. The Love interest is also intriguing and seems complex so far.

2nd ep - Chi Cheng tries really hard to woo Wu Suo Wei by learning all about him and getting deeper into his business. The progression is interesting and the pace is good. The ex girlfriend is defiantly getting hurt by going for him when he's using her. I like the second ML doctor. The flirting and butt grabbing has started !

3rd ep - Wu Suo Wei is not showing his bad guy side so much this ep which is a shame, a lot of focus on buying and selling snakes. A bit of flirting. This ep was a bit dull.

4th ep - Chi Cheng is working out his feelings and they have a forced kiss as he says he liked wu suo wei to try and keep him away from his ex. Chi Cheng seems to have taken on more than he bargained for and freaks out.

Good points: Great acting and cast. Interesting plot and characters.

Bad points: Unnecessary gang r**e scene in first episode, the audio dubbing is off-putting and in some places feels unnatural (i know it is common for Chinese dramas to record the voices post production and add later but it feels a bit off in some places).

PoohPavel back again to warm our hearts

At release date there are only a few 'horror BLs' available. The only other main contender being Khemjira. Whilst Khemjira Tones down most of the horror and keeps it mostly in the first 2 episodes, Goddess bless you from death is not playing around, This series is not lacking in horror moments and some gore filled scenes. (Don't worry though if you are not accustomed to this style as it is not overly intense compared to most Hollywood blockbusters and instead maintains the elements of creepiness and suspense with some jump scares sprinkled in.)

The chemistry is great as usual with this couple and the story is really giving especially in the investigation and mystery elements. Pooh has really come far since pitbabe S1 and is much more comfortable in his own acting abilities which really shows in this drama. Pavel is always a delight to watch in all of his projects, bringing talent and dedication to his projects.

This couple dynamic is very refreshing and not the typical muscle 'top' and gentle 'bottom'. Change is quickly becoming one of the leading production houses in the Thai Bl industry with its collected talents and golden choices in scripts.

Solid Start with gripping storyline

Such a strong first episode! The storytelling and pace are perfect and easy to follow. The Female lead is battling the Male lead in a tournament that has a great effect on her city/clan (not sure) and looses, becoming poisoned which could become fatal. We then learn that She was secretly disguised as a man using a form of cloaking to hide her identity so the male lead does not know what she truly looks like. She now embarks on a mission to gain revenge and obtain the antidote to the poison that is slowly killing her.

This is a very relatable storyline, the FL trained for years for the fight and was defeated due to the dirty tactics by her opponent who used poison and dragged her into another realm where she was weaker in order to ensure his win. I feel the same frustration towards him as she does and I'm rooting for her to teach him a lesson and smack him into next century! I am also interested in how the romance will develop as this is enemies to lovers.
