Ramil is an edgelord discord mod
If you are looking for a wig-snatching supernatural romance series that has epic combat scenes, touching emotional moments, an intriguing story and deep nuanced characters, then keep looking, because this series will give you absolutely none of that!
Tell me you don't know what a vampire is without telling me you don't know what a vampire is...
Common sense was chasing those characters but they were way faster because none of what happens made sense at any point...
I think it's my fault for having expectations but I was soooo hyped for this series when the trailer came out, but now I just wish I could hypnotize myself to forget what a failure this was.
I mean just look at it: BounPrem in a vampire setting?? Yes please!! But turns out we weren't even robbed, we got full on bullied by GMMTV.
The casting is top notch but I think they forgot to give them the script until the day before the shooting because tell me why it all feels so improvised?? The acting is so awful and wannabe edgy and dark, it hurts to look at... I spent the whole time watching in x2 speed because of second-hand embarrassment...
The pacing is so weird. This series focuses on everything and nothing at the same time. It spends such a long time on unnecessary details and forgets to get anything done. It just throws some plot details here and there like "i love claw machines. oh yeah also I have a century old evil vampire brother that's still roaming free and probably wants to kill me and everyone I love but I guess that won't be an issue. also did i tell you i love claw machines?"
The romance feels so forced... Don't get me wrong, I love BounPrem and their previous works. But what the fuck is going on here?? It feels like Ramil and Punn never really got over that weird awkward first stage of trying to get to know someone and now they're stuck with each other unable to bring themselves to break the awkwardness, like an everlasting uncomfortable first date.
"I want to stay with you forever." MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU HAVE KNOWN THIS MAN FOR A WEEK AND ALMOST DIED 1000 TIMES CAN'T YOU CATCH A BREAK??
I absolutely HATED the last episode. It's so rushed it felt like a joke... What do you mean Ramil gives the title of vampire leader to Methus because he is "the best and most reliable brother"?? What was the point of all the bonding scenes and playing house with everyone for 3 episodes if you are just going to say you dislike your family? Aren't things in GMMTV supposed to be ruled by the power of friendship anymore??
Early in the series, Pokpong had a whole crashout about going to live abroad (which is so valid by the way, like wdym you're my financially stable, independent, living in a huge house brother and you can't even take me in even though we literally don't have anyone else and I STILL work part time to support myself??). So tell me why he seems ok that Punn is going to live forever inside a fucking painting with his vampire boyfriend that he's known for a week?? PLEASE BE ANGRY DO SOMETHING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
So you're telling me Pokpong is just going to watch his brother not age while he's still gonna grow old and wither and die??
I could say that Punn and Ramil are incredible lead characters that carry the whole story, but I won't, cause I don't like to lie.
From his very first apparition, I instantly KNEW that Ramil would be very laughable. That man has no depth whatsoever. His only personality trait is that he has none. I hate his alpha male demeanor, breathing heavily turning red and screaming in the last episode. Please sir stop thinking you're so mysterious and edgy when really your claw hands are making you look cringe. I mean this whole show is just so cringe it becomes the norm... We saw one scene of his past and suddenly he is this tortured figure that's lived through the apocalypse...
Punn was so devout of life it physically hurt to see him interact with other characters. From the first episodes, I was constantly screaming at him to wake up and FEEL something, because tell why that man isn't even phased about falling inside a damn PAINTING and dragging home a VAMPIRE that later on invites his BROTHER inside Punn's house without even asking?? THE WHOLE TIME PUNN WAS JUST LIKE "yeah typical sunday 👍"
I mean yes the whole time he was actually a hunter so he knows about vampires and their whereabouts so that kinda makes sense but still??? Have at least the decency to make your enemies think you're a normal human being instead of being so mysterious and suspicious...
I could seriously go on and on about this show and give one argument for each year Ramil has lived to show you how bad this series really is...
Spare yourself, don't watch it. Even My Golden Blood wasn't that edgy. Don't lose your time on this show and go rewatch Between us...
