**Good, could've been better though.** One of the main problems with Revamp is that it never quite settled into a singular genre and stuck with it. In the first couple of episodes I thought this show was going to be a romcom, it was very cute and funny and I was very much looking forward to cute vampire fluff, but then the genre shifted. Out of nowhere it changed into an action show and it was very intense and exciting, really had me on the edge of my seat. I happen to love fighting choreography so I wasn't mad about the change, just a bit confused... and then it changed to a family drama. No more fighting, romance on the back burner, Ramil cleaning the antique shop.... This change was definitely a choice that the script writers made. With that being said though, the show still succeeded quite well in every genre it took up. The fluff was fluffy, the romance was steamy, the action was exciting, the drama was dramatic. It never flopped in whatever it was trying to be and I think that was wholly due to the great casting. GMMTV really brought in the best and every member did their best. I think the only actor that really got the short end of the stick was Prem/Punn. Everybody else was given one narrative, one genre for them to act in, but with Punn being the main character he unfortunately had to bounce around into different roles. One minute he's an antique's dealer, the next he's fighting vampire hunters, and then he's playing older brother, etc etc. Prem had a lot on his plate for this role and unfortunately this hampered his abilities. There were a few moments where he shined through--the intimate scenes with Boun were lovely, the five seconds we got to see him use a sword lol, and the cottage scenes were all done very well. As for the ending, I really don't understand why everybody was hating on it. It made perfect sense to me. Ramil hated being a vampire--he never drank blood, kept shirking on his duties as the leader, not to mention with Mekhin's awful backstory I thought it made perfect sense that Ramil didn't want to turn Punn into a vampire, especially when there was a perfectly decent second option for them to take. Also if there does happen to be a MarkJunior spinoff (which there likely won't be, but who knows), I would gladly pay to see Junior playing a more serious, bad boy type of character. l think he would be fantastic in that type of role and it would play off of Mark's prince character so well. Overall, I gave the show a 7/10. I liked it, I think it could have been better if someone had bothered to trim down the script and make the story more cohesive, but it's still a watchable and enjoyable show.
