I know Dante's cove but i have no idea about the lair im thinking of checking it 😂
Ha! They did a revival of that one last year too - 'The Lair: OnlyFangs' 💀 - but I have yet to watch it lol. The OG was decent but I liked the Dante's cast more.
Oh my god dante cove mentioned you just unlocked my lost memory of teenage years😭
"Welcome to the Hotel Dante!" where everyone is glistening from head to toe 24/7 because the witches probably cast a bad spell on the air conditioning 🤣
The 2 eps I watched were underwhelming but I wanted to comment on Ben because his acting has improved considerably from the last series I saw him in and it's genuinely nice to see. He's in his element with this character and it shows.
I can't get over Thanit's hair though... they did him so dirty 🤣
Ep. 6 was the worst yet IMO. This series now has me questioning if I was too harsh on MGB. GMMTV + vampires is proving to be a bad fit. Pretty sure Dante's Cove/The Lair did vampire storytelling better than these series 😭
I loved this overall but things got repetitive quickly and the story inevitably hit a wall and started to fall apart somewhere along the midway point. What I didn't love was the last episode which felt so rushed, especially given the events of the episode(s) prior. In a way it didn't even feel finished.
I thought i was the only one who took issue with NP’s acting. Feel like even the side characters are out-acting…
Some of you Khem defenders may want to rethink your hostile approaches to "conversation" here if you expect others who see things differently from you to respond because nothing about YOUR reply which took a direct swipe at my - a whole stranger to you - intelligence is welcoming of an open discussion.
I seriously question the people who say it couldve benefited the second couple, or the second couple should get…
I haven't read everything you wrote yet but I just wanted to reply to clarify the first part - by promoted as leads I'm talking about the trailer that very specifically made note of the series having duel leads and duel cps. And then referring to them as 'Desire 4' tied into that to a lesser extent as it maybe implies the four were on an even playing field but that's a minor thing. The four appearing as a group for promo is not what I meant and not indicative of anything. They could've done the same promo and not been referred to as duel leads/duel cps at the start and that would've been more honest, no?

I don't know as I haven't read the novel and you're speaking as someone who's clearly read the novel and knows better than me.
Your account makes it sound like they were only ever secondary characters in the novel and didn't evolve until much later which was my general understanding, however they were promoted and touted in the trailer as duel leads/cps and then went on to promo as such so could one not reasonably think their original story was perhaps altered for live adaptation purposes? It's been done before. Maybe that was the working assumption for many non-readers upon seeing the trailer.
I get what you're saying as it relates to the source material but I don't think non-reader fans of the second couple are in the wrong to have expected a little more either since as I mentioned they were billed as co-main leads and have been alluded as such since the trailer dropped. Only readers would've known otherwise.
I mean it's the authors themselves making this --- they're trying to get every line on the book on the screen
I know and in an ideal situation that's obviously what you'd want as authors but the episode cap alone put a limit on what they could and would be able to do story wise.
I think the brother had too much screen-time leading up to today's episode. I understand it was meant to build up to today's moment but I just don't think it was necessary to see him and his goons strategizing for the investable impact to be felt. And I know it probably wouldn't amount to much additional time but those were onscreen minutes that might've benefitted the other couple's screen-time.
HY's call with his cousin felt like pointless filler too. Thinking back there was quite a bit of what felt like filler to me early on. Can't really blame the authors too much though because adapting a story for screen is no easy feat and it was their first time.
