1000 Years Old (2024)

Silver Screen Insights: 1000 Years Old

| GENERAL SYNOPSIS

I have only watched 2/12 episodes and I am not convinced that this will be a good series. The story so far is very corny and unfulfilling, according to what I saw in the trailer. However, my expectations were not set very high to begin with, so I will continue to watch until I can't any longer.

| Spotlight of Excellence (Positive Elements)

• Opal Napawiwattanakul (Yo) has a stunning beauty mark on his neck
• Special effects were quite well
• There were SOME cute interactions between Pun and Yo

| Shortcomings and Flaws (Negative Elements)

• Odd editing & transitions
• Pun's brief origin story could have added more substance
• Pun's vampire revelation was pitiful
• Yo's plan to reveal Pun's vampiric nature was incredibly dense

This BL is good Camp Ya'll just boring

Ok ok, in all seriousness, I could totally understand why someone would drop this faster than I dropped my brother as a baby. But I think one thing should be clear when jumping into the first episode of 1000 Years Old. This is Camp at it's finest and is in no way near trying to be serious. Sure it has serious moments, but the only way you'll get enjoyment out of those moments is if you shut your brain off and just enjoy the show for the vibes. Even the plot-twist itself isn't anything crazy and has been done before a million times.

But its in the way the characters interact with each other and the quirks of this show that give it it's charm. I genuinely feel like 1000 Years Old is an acquired taste kind of BL. That isn't meant for everyone but definitely stands out from the crowd and resonates with those who enjoy a good and honest BL that wears its heart on its sleeve, just like the 1000 Year Old vampire Pun.

1000 years love story

My first ever review... So here goes.
I'm gonna keep it short and sweet.

What I loved about this series :
The actors that they choose for the parts did it well. Except Somchai and his hand clapping, he was somewhat irritating.
I believe character Yoh is new to acting, I must say he did well. Yes some parts he was a bit stiff, but overall he did a good job.
Maybe could have shown some more affection towards Pun. I mean this guy has loved you for a 1000 years.

What I didn't love about this series.:
The ending... It's sad. In a way.

SPOILER :
I might have missed this in the story, but why could Pun not turn Yoh into a vampire?
He is not a normal vampire and has vampire blood in him, sun does nothing, garlic and holy water neither.
So maybe what we know abt biting and letting the human die as in other vampire movies doesn't work here.. Sad.

Then the ending... Isn't Pun also dying according to his brother they have like 20 more years?
So then how is he meeting Yoh again in his next life?
Did I miss this part?

I'm actually hoping for a second series 😍

TWILIGHT TOOK A QUEER TURN

This show sure has a lot, neither too good nor too bad but if you have watched shows like Guardian : The Lonely and the Great God, My Demon, the Twilight Saga and Originals and Vampire Diaries, when they talk about 1000 year old creatures and vampires you'd definitely have an image of what your ideal vampire in the 2020's would look like.

First thing's first, Mr. Vampire looks like he popped out of the 90's literally and he is still psychologically stuck in them, like seriously, have you seen his long hair tied back in an awful way, no offense, it looks like a cropped up wig.

And there is our student, I don't think he is as naive that is if naive is what they hoped he would be, based on the scripting, his emotions and somehat bland expressions, he seems pretty dense. I try but I just don't see the sincerity in his expressions yet which makes it look either overdone, irrelevant or merely forced.

But if I do not have to blame him since after all its a habit to get close to strangers even the least or most interesting ones at least to build a storyline from curiosity but I don't seem to hint at the intended first sight chemistry which in my opinion it seems the show is trying to promote as always.

And some Vampire stereotypes just don't hit it right, I bet many of you have watched Kissable lips, Sugar Crush Kim Ji woong is what you would expect from a vampire in the 2020s, Gong Yu is what you would expect from a Goblin in 2016, Song Kang is what you would expect from a Demon in 2023. Insecure about his nature, careful not to get the people they love and care about entangled in their unfortunate lives, dudes, these guys have it rough at the first time and it takes time for you to sit and dine with a total stranger however handsome they are unless they are were an idol.

No one has a perfect start for this rather Vampiric year since There's literally like about four Thai Bls with a Vampire Story Lined up and I guess I didn't dose through the initial episodes, at least the show is intriguing to watch and sure enough I can be hopeful that it will improve with time. The cast seems to be well chosen and the story somewhat interesting, all in all if the acting is heavily improved, it has a good potential
