The writers seem to struggle a lot with the concept of Vampires. My Golden Blood was NOT good and I feel like it struggled from episode-to-episode esp with how the characterization of the main leads went. Anyway, that's a tale for another review which I have already written. While I liked ReVamp way more and thought it handled the premise of vampires and hunters' way better. I still feel like ReVamp struggled past ep 8., Once we got closer to the climax it felt like the series was struggling to what the writers wanted to do. The characters became emptier as we hit ep 8 and beyond. The pacing was rushed, and the show lost the darkness of the first episodes that I enjoyed. Once Pong found out the truth everything lost meaning character's ractions to what was going on felt empty. Even the scenes that were meant to be emotional I felt nothing. I don't know if that was the purpose or the writers just didn't know how to connect the right emotions to the characters. That damaged the series for me. I wanted to see how it ended but me feeling about less than 50% in the final episode was not good. I did love the first 7/8 episodes though. I felt like they had the right sense of emotion and darkness that the writers wanted to achieve. Had it kept going that way I think I would have given it a better rating.
BounPrem, Mark, Barcode etc did a good job with the material that they were given but even them couldn't save the last two episodes sadly. As for entertainment value, ReVamp was a good popcorn series. Which is why I gave it the rating I did. It kept me entertained for the most part, but it wasn't something that made me think or made me emotional like some other GMMTV series did. Overall, I give it a 7.5. It won't be on my rewatch list that much. Looking forward to what's next for BounPrem as I did like their chemistry and them as a cp.
