A complete failure
Everything was there for a good series: an original idea (vampires, golden blood), well-known actors, and a big budget (I guess?). Unfortunately, nothing works. What happened?
The love story completely takes over the vampire/fantasy plot — sadly, a classic issue with Thai BLs, especially those from this channel. On top of that, the romance is portrayed in a heavy-handed and cliché way: endless gazing into each other's eyes, constant soul-searching about love and destiny, dramatic love declarations over soft music…
The acting is poor, which is surprising coming from these actors — they’ve done much better in the past.
The special effects are soooo cheap, you really wonder where the money went.
The story lacks creativity. There’s no reason why the secrets revealed at the end of the series couldn’t have been shared right from the start — the only explanation is that without them, there wouldn’t have been a story at all. That just shows how thin the plot really is.
The final episode crams all these flaws together, wrapped in plot shortcuts and inconsistencies, to the point where it becomes laughable.
