There are only 2 good things I can say about this episode: - The Thara woman seems very fierce and is a good actress. Normally, the older actors in BL are doing a terrible job, but that woman is good - The plot has some potential. The whole idea about the Golden Blood and what it is about, is very good. I wasn't expecting that.
Bad things - Gawin's acting is terrible, sorry, not sorry - The director has no clue how to create a great scene, from the music to the way the scenes are filmed and acted - there is no artistry. It looks very cheap.
This hits a bit too close to home for me since I have such parents, who were poor and did everything to bring money home for the family. But well, let's be real for a moment: Why popping out babies if you can't feed them? This stuff is not romantic. I lived through it, and I'm bitter and angry like the 3rd generation daughter, while my parents were proud that they somehow never gave up throughout their misery.
Okay, I'm now at episode 4, and this story is depressing. Since her mother's spirit is with her, and her mother cherished her so much, I thought this is the story of a strong woman becoming a poet, living her dreams, I sure like hell didn't expect a teenage pregnancy. The love story was also underwhelming until now. They used a lot of comedy with all the exaggerated crying. This is not meant to be criticism, since the writing is great. It's just that I feel depressed being a woman watching this series.
I'm only at episode 2. I love the storytelling, the nostalgia, the emotions and hardships of the characters - but I don't like the main leads. I love IU, don't know the guy, but it's not about the actors, the girl is soo dramatic and tsundere. The guy seems simple-minded and stupidly in love. I will keep watching for the story, hopefully the characters improve.
Reposting for those who didn't see it I'm an avid Trump hater and hate the Tate brothers the more, but I'm supposed…
I wouldn't brag about Biden being more of your kind of guy. Whoever was president in the last 4 years, for sure it wasn't Biden. I agree on the Tate brothers 🤮
I thought Gawin and Kirst were better together than I was expecting but they didnt make me want to see them as…
I think the really strong pairings are the ones with chemistry, yes, of course, but they have to fit each other acting-wise or, if that's not the case, then the better actor must be able to push the other one. Ohm is a good actor, but he became a great actor with Nanon. Leng isn't a good actor, and Ohm isn't really able to push him much. So they are both not that great together, and their series, like you said, wasn't well written or directed. It's a similar story with Gawin. I never thought he was an outstanding actor, but Krist was able to bring out the best in him in Be My Favorite. First is also such an actor, who can challenge others, so they match their performance with his. (I'm not talking about Khaotung, because he was always great and on First‘ level.) So my issue with JossGawin: chemistry alone isn't saving them, if we will see any, because in the first episode there wasn't much. I don't know if they can both challenge each other and deliver great emotional scenes. Not to mention that the series seems low quality, and I'm not talking about the CGI, I'm mostly talking about the script and the directing. But well, enough negativity, I will wait for the next episode and see how it goes. This comment is honestly too long and too serious. We are discussing a silly low budget vampire BL series after all, LMAO.

Same with GawinKrist, even though their chemistry was great. I wonder if JossGawin are now the real deal. I'm still hopeful. If GMMTV knows something, then it's the potential of their pairings. They don't make mistakes. Oh wait, I'm not a fan of OhmLeng either, to be honest. They are also in Only Friends 2 and are now an established pairing I assume.
Not me Gawin was in support role and in Be My favorite what was psychologically complex?In Be my favorite Krist's…
Be Me Favorite was a masterpiece. I just rewatched half the series today. Incredible depth and complexity. The character development of Kawi was mind-blowing.
I rewatched the episode. I don't like the pairing at all. Gawin and Joss ... it's not clicking. I liked Gawin with First and Krist, but with Joss? Not Joss is the issue, though. I wished they gave him a different partner. But looking at Only Friends 2 I see they are trying to establish this pairing. The plot is also a downgrade for Gawin, because Be My Favorite was one of the best written and psychological complex BLs ever. This series, though, will most likely not reach this level of depth. So Gawin went from Not Me and Be My Favorite to this? No hate, just my 2 cents. It's fun, entertaining, sexy. So yeah ... I try to stay optimistic, but this is not a masterpiece in the making.
The troll is back. Every time a new series starts, some strange hater rises from the abyss and offends everyone…
I think it's always the same person with a new username. It's the 3rd or 4th time that I experience this on MDL. It always happens when a series just recently aired. The tone is always the same. Very offensive, low blows, series is "garbage" (favorite word), calling people constantly stupid because they like it while bragging at the same time about being so much smarter than everyone else and having better taste. One time the user commented with two different names, basically he answered his own comments. Crazy stuff. That's why I said we have to report them.
It's depressing. They don't even try.

I'm baffled how someone can look like this.
