This episode broke my cuteness meter—especially the Kim/Mon couple! Pretty decent writing, good directing, and solid storytelling for a first episode. It really makes me want more of these boys.
Lol the most useless comment. You don't like the series, congratulations, next!
As for the presumably "useless" comment, we actually managed to spark an interesting discussion here. So let me add this: what really turns me off has nothing to do with the actors—it's all about how the scenes are written and directed. Seriously, do any of you stand face-to-face with someone at home and talk in perfectly complete sentences for ten straight minutes, each one getting a full, polished reply? Because in real life, conversations happen while we’re doing other stuff. People interrupt each other, get into little arguments, sometimes just go quiet and stare. That’s how humans actually talk. But in this show, people don’t act or speak like real people. Instead, we get these long, awkwardly staged conversations full of exposition. Rather than showing us how vampires live, the show just tells us—in dry, drawn-out dialogue. It’s just bad writing and weak direction, plain and simple. Those few scenes with Mond were the only ones where something actually happened in terms of storytelling and kept me intrigued and engaged, having Joss be well-built and strut around in just briefs doesn’t make it a good BL. I don’t expect GMMTV to deliver a masterpiece, but after all these years, they should at least be capable of making something more watchable.
Can we stop bothering about Mark's boring love life already and get more of Nakan? His two minutes with Tonkla were the highlight of the whole episode — the only moments I didn't actually doze off.
ponds acting here only proves that he should act either solo or with someone new- the potential need to be stop…
Absolutely agree. Pond's acting keeps improving with every role—he's already proven that he has more than just looks. Unfortunately, his talent often gets wasted in the repetitive, boring roles he's given in BL series. Shipping culture kills talent.
So we signed up for a vampire story and got another boring, badly written university BL with Gawin playing a student with the mentality of a five-year-old boy. The only upside is that this series works pretty well for insomnia.
Really good episode, finally something with more nuanced camera work and an acceptable script. Dew still has the same stiff expression and that annoying crying voice, at this point I don't think anything can change that. But Pond finally feels like he's playing a character rather than just reciting lines he memorized, it's great to see that after all these years he's finally developing some kind of acting skills.
This show is hands down the best thing I've ever seen come out of Thailand, it's a real gem! I'm planning to revisit the world of Gelboys as often as I can.
Both trailers didn’t look all that great, but I shouldn’t have doubted that Mark Pakin would nail this kind of role. I laughed like never before. Ohm never lets me down either.
Wow, wow, wow, this show is amazing, I don't usually watch GL, but I'm hooked on it every Saturday. How many secrets (and dr. Khem's children) are we going to have?
I don't know what could possibly happen in 2025 that we could get anything even half as good as this. For me, the ranking for the best BL of 2025 already has a winner.
