Good series with great leads
First I would like to say that I really enjoyed this series quite a bit! I think the story was very interesting and they didn't completely butcher the execution like some BL series.Likes:
1. The chemistry between the main leads is absolutely amazing! I loved them in both series that they were a part of and you can tell that they have a lot of respect for each other. They feel like a real couple, which is something that I hold in high regard when it comes to LGBTQ+ content.
2. The story was very interesting and I love a good reincarnation/fantasy story and it was decently executed. The director and production crew executed the fantasy story as well as the romance story pretty well! I felt like every character had their place in the story and added something to the story.
3. The other actors did a really good job as well especially since a few of them had to play multiple characters with completely different personalities. I also just loved the majority of the characters even the ones that I have criticisms for.
Dislikes/critiques:
1. I thought some of the decisions made by the characters (especially San) were nonsensical. Especially when it came to basically accepting that the new Vad was the real Vad without any proper research into who she actually is (which they did with Vee), San giving the rock to the new Vad which is literally his lifeline, and San abandoning Vee after his grandmother died because he didn't want to cause Vee any more pain (even though it caused even more pain).
2. I wish they would have explored the shift from San basically hating Vee and treating him like crap to absolutely being so in love with him that he would end his own life a bit better. I get that San is over a hundred years old and might not be okay with being in a relationship with a man and I wish they would have explored that more.
3. I wish they would have explored more of the spiritual aspects of the show. Demon Vee was such a visual pleasure that I wish they would have explored it better.
4. I feel like when Vee got stabbed, he healed a little too quickly and with absolutely no scarring? Multiple stab wounds would take Vee off his feet for a least a few months and would most likely leave pretty big scars.
5. Horrible CGI... I know that Thai companies don't have the most money but most of the bad CGI could have been practical effects and would have been 10X more successful.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series and I think the actors did a great job portraying the characters! I would definitely watch this series again or recommend this series to a friend.
