Goddess Bless You from Death

Anyway, good

Overall, the drama was pleasant enough and quite enjoyable, except for the sheer nonsense of the last two episodes, which in my opinion completely ruined an otherwise relatively good plot. Given that it's very difficult to make quality crime dramas (see, for example, the mess made with Dare You to Death), I particularly appreciated the script, the special effects, the ghost makeup, the religious and spiritual references, and the character of Atikun, which I thought was very well-crafted. For this reason alone, I'd give it an overall 7. I have a lot to say about the investigation, as well as the structuring of the couples. Given that I'm a very practical and realistic person, I found some parts of the investigation decidedly implausible and unlikely, and I really couldn't ignore the fact that Thup was taken literally everywhere. I understand it was necessary for the plot, but it's something I found truly absurd and senseless. In addition to the various plot holes, I repeat, things in the last few episodes were rushed too much without adequate time jumps and I didn't like that at all. As for the couples, I admit I didn't particularly enjoy them, nor was I particularly moved. Contrary to popular opinion, I think the actors playing Thup and Singha have no chemistry whatsoever, and I couldn't really relate to them on a romantic level. Thup's character was extremely boring in my opinion: static, impersonal, passive, and rather bland; paired with Singha, all fire, recklessness, and determination, he didn't really spark anything. Moreover, their interactions truly bordered on the banal and saccharine: corny, meaningless, without any kind of development. The second couple was even worse. Truly insignificant. But let's move on to what I can truly consider the best discovery I've made in recent months: the actor who plays King. That guy is truly talented, he undoubtedly has a lot to improve on, but if he keeps going like this, he truly has what it takes to embark on a first-rate career. I really enjoyed the psychological characterization of his character, the fact that he was torn between the desire to please his father and the will to do what was right, and I truly appreciated the evolution he went through throughout the series. I also found him very mature and conscientious in his desire to distance himself from Singha, well aware of the feelings he still inevitably harbored for him, and I must say I couldn't help but be very pleased with this choice. Overall, it wasn't bad, although I personally would have developed it in a completely different way, probably keeping the investigation partially, if not entirely, unchanged, but radically altering the couples and relationship dynamics. First of all, away with the sentimentality, more mature conversations, free of stereotypical banalities, moments of tension and fracture. This is what makes stories interesting. But I realize I was partly wrong too; fundamentally, I appreciate more mature BL shows, and this show, on the other hand, is aimed primarily at a teenage audience. Still, not bad.

The ghosts didn't horrify me as much as the writing.

There is a difference between an idea and the execution of that idea.

The idea of a supernatural horror cop BL is good. Great, even!

The execution leaves so much to be desired.

One major problem is maintaining the Thai BL World logic, which tends to be soapy and contrived. I assume they have to keep that logic, because it's just ever so hard to imagine how or why two dudes would hook up if it weren't for the world setting up those bowling gutter bumpers forcing them into it. It's fine when they all work at a cafe, or a vague office where you can bend the rules of professionalism without much consequence in the name of two men rolling around shirtless.

...Unfortunately, there is consequence in police procedurals. There are laws. If you blow the case, the worst case scenario is not a customer with a bad latte, it's letting a murderer roam free to kill again. Or dying.

In the first episode we watch stunning levels of dumbassery when Singha takes the twitchy guy covered in blood they found at the crime scene home with him and goes to shower immediately. Oh, don't worry, the 3 hour DNA test they did proved twitchy guy (who claimed to see ghosts) wasn't covered in the victim's blood, just his own. Why did we take him home? He was just soooo scared. Of the ghosts. Did we do a drug test on him? No. Did anyone seriously interview him? No. He's still a suspect. WHY is he in your living room?!

But you see? the BL world logic is invalidating the Real World logic, which in turn hamstrings the capacity to take the whole police part seriously- and that's if it weren't written so badly. It also signals to me that no one here cares enough to do the bare minimum to integrate the two story styles. That first episode- your first impression- is rife with lazy writing and forced attempts to smush the characters together because that's how BL works and that's all they think the audience cares about.

Everything about this show feels incredibly forced and awkward because of that core of laziness. Everything. From the supernatural stuff (telegraphed and bereft of actual eeriness), to the police work (laughably idiotic), to the nascent romance (the cringe-ass dialogue haunts me) and the acting. I personally don't get the coupling thing, where we like these two performers together, because it always seems like they're shackling one decent performer to an absolute sinkhole. Because of the 'chemistry', which I, personally, could not detect here. That might have something to do with my take that Pavel is doing a pretty decent job with some gravitas and Pooh is behaving like a mentally arrested toddler. Pooh is absolutely in BL World performance style of simpering petulance. Maybe that's part of the reason the ghosts don't seem scary, Pooh is unable to perform plausible fear. Pavel, at least, understands that this wants to be bigger.

Key words: Wants to be.

It's a shame, because the special effects make-up looks great. The cinematography is pretty decent. There is a good idea here, but they just can't get out of BL World to make it work, and don't respect the audience's intelligence to put in the effort, and from the number of solid 10s this gets reviewed with....they're right.

Horror done right. It was a little too scary to watch and little too interesting to drop

I watched this cz of Khemjira thinking it'd not be that scary but i was wrong. It was super scary that i couldn't watch it at night and waited for the day to watch it. I was here cz i saw Thup holding a corner of Singha's jacket bro. I was here for the cute moments and light horror but nah they gave me cute moments and loads of horror.

The show was super engaging and kept us curious all the time. I loved the cast as a whole but i wanna appreciate the guy who played Bom cz damn he did a really good job with the role. I kinda hoped his friends lived... but that didn't happen i really thought they would.

Minus 0.5 for the ghosts also for the dumb decisions made by the characters 🤭 n minor plot holes like if thup could pray for a curse reversal why didn't he do it sooner. I guess the novel would give an explanation to it like it only works on certain days etc but that didn't happen here so.

Overall watch it. Its really good but remember that this is actual horror series.

well

so far it's been a good watch. let's keep observing.
I love the ost. Also the make up effects for the ghost are amazing, it's aesthetically pleasing as well. The acting is okay, pavel is just amazing and pooh is actually doing great as well!
lee has always being such a darling!
Micheal's character is still underwhelming for me but I hope it gets better!
Topten I don't know but his expressions are not in tone with his words! something just feels lacking like I am watching sonic but in a different vibe!
impressed with the 30seconds of king🤏
All the casts are amazing and the chemistry between pavel and pooh is just so good. I love the little staring and Thup is sassy! which is surprising but I like it!
I don't know but I don't find any connection or will I say chemistry between michealtopten, seems like they are already in a situationship or relationship but they looked like two bro's around each other but hopefully they might click during the later episodes!
Topten definitely needs to work on his expressions it falls very flat! especially in that opening scene!

Blessed by Death and Crowned by Love

Having sat through Pit Babe 2, I felt let down by how rushed it was. The finale’s racing competition lacked weight, leaving glaring script loopholes unresolved and the story unfinished. But then came the announcement of Goddess Bless You From Death, set to premiere at the end of 2025, and my expectations shifted. Knowing Pooh and Pavel’s on‑and‑off screen chemistry, I trusted they would deliver—and they did.

This project is a complete genre departure, and it’s their most daring yet. Pavel’s haunting portrayal of Singha and Pooh’s deeply human take on Thup made the supernatural believable, even as the narrative plunged into ghosts and rituals. The centerpiece, The Sacrifice of Seven Bodies Ritual, was chilling—an exploration of how far people will go for wealth, power, and recognition.

It is, without question, their finest collaboration since debuting as a couple. The research behind the story shows in every detail, and the execution is flawless. I rated it 10/10 because they earned it—this time, they gave us something complete, resonant, and unforgettable.

If you shy away from horror, ghosts, or ritualistic mystery, this series may not be for you. But for those willing to step into the shadows, Goddess Bless You From Death is absolutely worth the watch.

Good Plot, But the Main Leads fall Short!

This drama actually has a lot of potential, but the chemistry between the two main leads feels a bit cringe. While the actor playing the seme delivers a solid performance, the uke still lacks the ability to convey his emotions properly. I’ve seen them together in a previous series, and it's disappointing to see that his acting hasn't improved. Please step up your game—don't just rely on the fanbase, but actually build real acting skills!

We don’t need another BrightWin situation where popularity overshadows skill. At least Win Metawin is showing better improvement now, but Bright is still stuck in the same place.
