Came here 2 days ago as I randomly found this show and gave it a try... as the others have said, the rating should…
Okay that was the saddest happy ending I've seen in a while. The last two episodes, esp the last scenes had me bawling my eyes out. The fact that he came to die in the same place hurt so good and I was so emo omg...
I have my qualms about the way the show was edited/pacing, like some scenes, I wasn't sure where they came from and what the timeline was... made me a bit confused. And yes, the show was a bit slow paced and very long episodes but overall, the story was great.

Disclaimer: if you're looking for the typical BL, definitely don't look here. It's BL yes, but it's so much more and there's so much complexity and each character's trauma that slowly unfolds. I loved the plot twists as well. Also, please watch the Uncut/Extended version, bc otherwise, you will miss key points in the plot.
The acting was great in my opinion. I remember when I first saw Nut (Phob) in Oxygen, I was put off and wasn't sure if I should watch this, however, I soon realized that it was his character I didn't like in that show. Here, he's so great and I fell in love with his character and the actor. Same goes Plan (Phat) and esp Faii (Dream).. she was phenomenal.
I will leave my review under this comment bc it will contain spoilers about the ending.
Idk why I'm back here but I can't get over the show and it deserves a higher rating than it's at right now! Yall need to fix the rating bc it's not doing the show justice!
Also, don't believe baseless rumors about Jaechan because we know many of the bullying rumors only surfaced after an idol got popular. People love to piggyback off of others success and bring them down, just for 2 seconds of fame. Unless there's concrete proof, let's not bash him.
Ok just finished episode 9 so I will be posting my thoughts in the reply so I don't spoil
First of all, yes the cinematography was BREATHTAKING this episode but the the part I really disliked was the "love scene" between Fah and Thorn.. could've done without the slowmo and close ups on the eyes.. I wish it was smooth and not choppy but meh
Also, can we get a new problem for Aii and Saen? Like we've been stuck on this long distance BS for the past 2 episodes and even in the preview Aii is like nah nvm, which is so annoying like seriously? You're willing to give up your dream scholarship for boy? ok then...
Anyways, I'm complaining too much but one last thing I wanted to add (and maybe it's just me who feels this way but), I feel like the tension/chemistry between Dom and Vee kinda died out over the last few episodes and when they kissed I just felt a bit empty... I'm not saying they should've kissed earlier but just that I didn't feel that chemistry anymore but maybe just me...
this is literally me being obsessive over the show but according to the countdown clock ep 6 should be aired on Viki right now but it's not and i'm sad T_T can someone tell me if they know how long it will take?
ok, first of all, wtf was that ending?? like was that a dream or what? It was so abrupt and didn't make sense. Like either make it sad or happy. Don't make the audience confused... The cast deserved better, the audience deserved better, but again, this production company disappointed us with the sheer blandness of their storyline. Literally like all their past BL projects, this was badly edited and scripted. You can't take a vampire storyline and make it THIS bland come on... you had the actor that played an iconic vampire character in the past... why not continue with something like that instead of this boring, bland sappy shit?
The only saving grace for this show was the chemistry between the leads and that kiss. Other than that, absolute disappointment.
I feel like the chemistry is there but it's moving too fast even for a "movie". There are some Twilight awkward staring moments but I'll let it slide. I enjoy that there's a back story and a motive for the vampire to approach this kid. Let's see where this goes I guess
I went in with no expectations, even put it off for a week because I wasn't into it since I watched the trailer last year. However, I have to say, ep 1 was pretty solid. Somethings to note since I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews: -Yes, the french accent isn't great - but also, he moved there in 6th grade, not super young so him having a bad french accent wouldn't be too implausible irl... something yall need to just accept and get over with. -Yes, we already know that Theo and Akk will end up together but like, that's all rom-coms? I thought we even got that from the trailer? I think the fun part is seeing how Theo chooses Akk, not IF he chooses him. If yall don't like that, go watch something else? -Yes, the leads may look similar but they do not look identical. Yall need to pause and look closely. Akk is nicknamed fox because of his eyes. Pay closer attention and you will see it. -Lastly, is no one gonna mention the cutest little sister with the funniest name? Egg? She's eggcellent in her role and sooo cute! Best character.
