Chemistry is not enough
My Golden Blood is a great example of chemistry not being enough. Yes, Joss and Gawin were a good pairing, but this series doesn't give them a platform to show their best performances. It's worse for Gawin, since we've seen him in different BLs, and Be My Favorite was his best performance, in my opinion. Joss was overly robotic in this series, which I imagine was meant to portray what was expected from a vampire. Apart from the acting, the story, and especially the visual effects, bring the series down. There's literally no plot to make this show 12 episodes long. I went into the finale with very low expectations, but the Eiffel Tower scene managed to surprise me with how bad it looked. GMM shouldn’t do fantasy series if they don’t want to spend the money (which we know they have).
