Gawin please don't put me through this ever again
I have to preface this review by saying I love Gawin. That being said, this drama was like a trial to see how far I'd go and how shit of a show I would watch just to watch him. I braved through all 12 episodes and got rewarded with the funniest Eiffel Tower CGI scene, but was it worth it? Was this camp or was this just pure garbage? I honestly can't say.
Let's start with the pros because there weren't many:
1. CGI were funny as fuck like it reminds me of movie parodies. I thoroughly enjoyed laughing at it, thank you GMMTV.
2. Gawin with the contacts......... holy mama that was sexy.
3. The OST is so easy on the ears.
Cons - can't list them all bc there were too many:
1. Plot really missed the mark. They don't have the budget or production means to take themselves too seriously. If this had gone to a more campy route, I'd rate it higher. However the laughs I had weren't consistent and the scenes that aren't laugh worthy are just Not Good.
2. Although I can't guarantee Joss is straight, I just think he has to much heterosexuality in his gaze for someone who is paid to kiss men on screen. Like he could be groping Gawin's ass and it would do nothing for me because I tdon't think his heart was in it. There should be more passion and yearning when it comes to groping but hey what do I know. Idk why but he was more believable in 3WBF. I did NOT buy his acting at all here. Did he get paid less for this series?
3. Action scenes were boring and honestly a lot of them felt pointless. A lot of them did nothing to move the plot forward.
4. Nakhan was too much of an evil witch to have a redemption arc at the end. Not redemption arc even - they tried to frame him as one of the good guys. Bro with all the shit he pulled........ nice try buddy you're not getting out of my naughty boy jail.
5. The casting is just wrong bro. Please never touch a script like this ever again Gawin I'm begging you. Playing a playful. childish 20 year old really stretched his acting limits even if I consider him one of the more versatile BL actors.
Anyways, watch if you want, but there are better things to do with your time such as:
- falling in love with a non vampire (Tong can't relate)
- not go near a pole that you could potentially impale yourself on (RIP Tonkla)
- drink anything but that tomato juice that looks like ass
