OMG! Vampire: Uncut Version (2024)

Riding the hype but missing the mark

As soon as the first few vampire BL's were announced, we knew this would be a new hype. And what do companies do with hypes? If they don't create them, they ride them! But what kind of a ride will it be....

In this case a bumpy one. LomgLee and Frank have never had too many compliments about their acting skills or even their chemistry. But in this one it's far below par. They seem to just go through the motions, even in de comedy bits, where they are usually ok, here they completely miss the mark. This is not helped by the overly present comical sound- and visual effects.

The other actors are not improving the overall quality. They are either overacting or seem very lost. I part, the material is to blame. It's a cheap, "laugh or i{ll shoot" kind of comedy. If you are a fan of these, you might get something out of it. I would love to be able to say that it had potential. but I fail to see where the potential is. The story is paperthing, the comedy is hardly comical, the acting is bad.

There are plenty of kisses and NC-scenes, but these feel cold, all have the same choreography and lack in chemistry. Even the rape scene (because that's what that is!) doesn't make me feel anything but disappointment.

A plus? The music. The OST is great.

Not as bad as it’s made out to be

This review has a LITTLE TINY bit of spoilers. (nothing you wouldn’t know if you didn’t watch up to ep2 tho)

A lot of reviews I’ve seen have said that it’s really bad and Long and Frank are being cursed with bad scripts. But this might be their best one yet (not amazing) but not horrible like “Crazy Handsome Rich”.

I’ll start with the good parts:
1) Most series with more than one or two couples are hard to follow or get invested in side couples, “OMG vampire” doesn’t make me confused with couples or get me hating any side couples.
2) I love rom-coms. Most BL rom-coms I’ve watched are so cheesy it makes me want to vomit. I usually end up dropping rom-coms despite loving comedy’s because they usually trans the plot to give it a comedic effect. This one was funny but stayed mature when needed.
3) Frank and Long are attractive. Give me a break I know most of you reading this have watched a series just for the eye candy!! Well Franks hair has finally grown out enough that he can stop wearing that HORRIBLE wig seen in “Love Syndrome III” and the makeup artist did a fantastic job at making him look like a freaking angel.

Now for the bad parts:
1) THE PLOT HAS SO MANY HOLES!! (this is where spoilers come in so if you just skip this paragraph you won’t be spoiled.)
In ep 1 we are told that the vampire world time goes by faster than human world. It is said 100 years in vampire world = 3 years in human world. YETTT while Phum and his friends are waiting for their last friend to come to the human world time in both worlds are going by at the same time. The messed up timeline continues through the series. Another one, if Phum was originally human and for vampires to go to the human world they need to enter a parallel humans body how tf does Phum have a parallel human?? He was a human in the first place that’s literally implying that there was a human who looked exactly like him living in the same city as him around the same time. Makes no sense. The ban on love also doesn’t make much sense. Vampires can’t love because of a food shortage?? How does banning love have to do with anything? Also we see ALOT of married vampires (Phums adopted parents being one) so like was it ok when they got married?? Does the ban not apply to them?? And the insignia, like how tf does the insignia have to do with who rules vampire town??? Like I said there are a lot of holes in the story but most of these holes doesn’t really contribute to the MAIN plot so I couldn’t really take off TOO many points for them.
2) Obvious low budget. Atp I’d be spoiling too much if I go into detail here but if you watch it you’ll realize.
3)Not much explanation on anything. Like in ep1 when they steal this green thing from the blood bank. They don’t REALLY explain what it is. Same thing with the insignia but I won’t go into detail with that because it would spoil a bit of the story.

Despite all of the down sides of the story I did enjoy watching it. It was cute and funny that’s all that matters.

Happy watching!
