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.

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).

its so good! Its a super slow burn with a simmering unraveling story and intrigue
Its full of mystery and a slowly revealing story and character identity. There is no horror as the ghost elements are only supernatural for the purpose of the story. Yai is clinging onto the past since the tragedy of his lover dying suddenly makes him unable to move on. Kaewta, a traditional Thai dancer is reborn and finds himself back in the white house where Yai resides as a bodyless ghost unable to be detected by Kaewta for the time being. Yai is possessive and quick to anger when Kaewta shows affection to others.The story so far is good and progressive, if you don't like a slow burn then maybe skip this, there are definably steamy scenes to come. The traditional Thai dancing is beautiful! There are some sensual moments which are executed beautifully.
ep 6 edit:
omg it was quite something seeing the corpses preserved together :O This is an interestingly unique BL. Both BillyBabe projects experimented with interesting concepts, I'm intrigued and loving the mystery and pace of this, it is not following the traditional route where the couple get together around the halfway mark and instead dives deeper into their past and present relationship. I wonder how this will be resolved since one of them is a ghost.

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.

ep 3 plot holes
I dropped after ep 3 where FL gets stabbed and is barely hurt or injured after and also still hangs around the guy instead of running the hell away.other dramas show injury better than this, it left too much of a plot hole for me to continue. she should not be ok after that type of injury by a huge sword to the chest.
