OMG please stop making vampire stories
If you are going to do a story centered around vampires, please take the time to build up the world. Logically would be nice.
The Lore is better than in My Golden Blood, which basically had no lore, but it's all over the place and felt like it was more to make sure everyone got their happy ending than to make actual sense.
First off, the vampire city was called Thaiwilight City, so already we were off to a great start (not). And for some reason in this city, they have a population problem, so no romance! Especially not the gay kind, because for some reason, the older vampires are homophobic even though that would help them with their problem. Couldn't they have come up with a form of birth control?
The vampires are literally humans that grow fangs to drink blood, and have a special city to themselves. You can kill them by breaking their neck. I'm still not convinced they actually live longer. Explain the passing of time, please, because if it does move more slowly, you did a piss poor job of showing it. In the vampire city, 100 years is 3 years in the human world, but when we are going back and forth between the worlds, it's like the passage of time is the same.
A human can become a vampire by either falling in love with a vampire and the vampire bites them, which will then turn that vampire into a human, or by a human who is dying being bitten by a vampire that loves them. A vampire can also become human by biting another vampire they are in love with on the full moon (does it have to be red?). So, for some reason, love is always involved, and it would have been interesting if this had been the reason for the "no love" rule instead of population control.
Why does Phum have a human counterpart? He is from the human world. He was once human before he was tricked into being a vampire, so he should be his own counterpart. I'm still confused on this point. The whole part about that counterpart having to be dead for them to go into their bodies is also very confusing. I mean, it takes the guilt away from them taking over their bodies, but why does it then make their bodies "vampire bodies"? It's an instantaneous process as well, which makes no sense if their bodies are changing at all. If they are "replacing" their human counterparts, you would think they would just be able to enter the human world once the counterpart died without taking over their actual bodies. I'm assuming it was done the way it was so that they all had a human life already set up for them, but it frustrated me throughout the whole show because they never explained how it works!
What was the recipe for the red wine? Nothing in your world makes sense, so don't tease me like this!
As far as comedies go, I did laugh a few times somewhere in the middle of the series, and I honestly don't think this series could have been good if it weren't a comedy. I feel weird saying that about a vampire show.
Frank and Lee have good chemistry. All the actors did a great job; I honestly don't know how some of them kept a straight face while saying some of their lines. I also have a new appreciation for Mod; his acting really stood out to me in this series.
