When will they get it right .....
This is my main peeve about this show and by extension Gmmtv. Truthfully, BounPrem gets automatic grace just because they are BounPrem. Their differences are clear but the pairing is warm, loving, protective and true. In their pairing, I've never felt one being stifled or controlled by the other. So I've patiently waited to see them shine again. I'll be frank. I loved them until I needed the ff button. It's not them. It's the script, bad acting by some and poor production. The premise of a human unlocking a vampire trapped in a painting who comes back to gather his clan, to live peacefully among humans, who on the other hand, are hungry to eliminate them due to revenge. Finding love along the way is the bonus. I'm not saying the whole was bad, but the bad was evident.
The script was terrible. Lines being repeated as fillers to elongate a series. The conversations were banal and very unimaginative. No clear purpose other than Ramil has to spend eternity with Pun. Ramil's responsibility as the leader is lost to him as he dives head first into his relationship with Pun. How does that even happen? In all species self preservation is supreme. Here, he is forced to do what should have been an innate response. Jett commands a band to attack them. So where is Ramil's mind reading abilities? Why are humans allowed to have such a devastating effect on vampires? Why did Ramil have strength to shut Pun out for the night when he was at his weakest but the next morning, go on a mini marathon to catch Pun, who was right outside the opened door? The fact that a human had the speed on two occasions to run away from a vampire threatens all that was previously known. Ciar had the ability to see through a crow and project multiple crows but still got beat.
The acting was solid from a few but blatantly bad at times. Boun clueless moments were cute but only for a time. Prem drew heavily on his introverted nature. Mark and Aun delivered. Kay gave me flashbacks of Ken of HSF. One dimensional. Barcode was ok but didn't shine. Stamp had moments of really good and then not. Dunk, no comment. The twins were as they always are, just fillers.
Reflecting on the overall vibe of the series, it was ok. Better would have been a more cohesive script, consistent tone and more workshops to enhance the acting and the fighting scenes. My disappointment stems from them using this as their come back vehicle. The genre was good, the production was not so good. My disappointment comes from Gmmtv greenlighting scripts that are generic with some to the point of torturous. It is because we, the viewers, have love for the actors, that we keep coming back. Maybe, it's time to change. BounPrem, I still love you.
