My Golden Blood

My Golden Blood tells the story of Tong, a 20-year-old who believes he has hemophilia, but in truth, possesses a rare and powerful golden blood, irresistible to vampires. While Mark is a 200-year-old vampire assigned to protect and care for Tong.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the series, it was engaging and well-paced. However, the rest of the episodes became somewhat uneven. Some scenes dragged, while others remained captivating enough to keep me watching. What really held my interest was the curiosity about how things would unfold. The pacing overall was decent, especially in terms of the characters realizing their feelings; it didn't feel overly drawn out.

The romance between Mark and Tong felt natural, with undeniable chemistry between them. Their kisses and intimate scenes were realistic and never felt forced. The acting was solid across the board. Joss was perfectly cast as Mark: handsome, sexy, mysterious, and stoic. He absolutely understood the assignment. Fluke, as Tong, embodied the role of a naive, kind-hearted, and cheerful young man with sincerity and warmth.

As for the twist involving Thara, I saw it coming. She gave off shady vibes from the beginning, so her reveal as the villain wasn't surprising.

Supporting Characters:

Tonkla - Tong's best friend, almost like a brother. He's supportive and protective, though initially unaware of Tong's blood and the vampire world. Eventually, his close bond with Tong pulls him into the chaos, adding another emotional layer to the story.

Nakan - A 250-year-old vampire and Mark's relative. Striking, charismatic and powerful, he initially comes off as a manipulative antagonist, especially through his control over Tonkla. But later, he sides with Mark and Tong, revealing deeper motives. His desire to take down Thara stems from a personal vendetta, she killed his best friend, who also had golden blood.

Thara - The authoritative leader of the vampires. She's manipulative, deceptive, and ultimately driven by greed. While she hides behind a calm, commanding facade, her obsession with golden blood and using it for her own gain, especially as a cure when she's sick exposes her true nature.

Technical Aspects:

The cinematography was visually appealing, with atmospheric tones that suited the vampire theme well. The OST deserves special praise, absolutely chef's kiss. The music enhanced the emotional beats of the story beautifully. Kudos to the team for creating such memorable tracks.

Final Thoughts:

The series started strong with a promising premise and solid emotional core. However, the latter half suffered from weaker writing. Some scenes felt like filler and there were noticeable plot holes that could have been tightened up. That said, I still enjoyed My Golden Blood for what it was, a supernatural romance with intriguing characters, good chemistry, and standout performances. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth a watch, especially for fans of the vampire BL genre.

My Golden Blood strikes the perfect balance of fantasy, heart, thrill and hotness. A brooding vampire learning to feel emotions and his courageous human falling in love, delivering both excitement and tender moments. Joss Wayar and Gawin Caskey are marvelous in these roles. Their chemistry is electric and addictive, turning every glance and touch into something magical. Joss's intense vibe pairs seamlessly with Gawin's tender yet bold energy and makes their love story a feast for eyes and soul.

The pacing, once it accelerates after first few episodes, keeps you hooked with a mix of suspense, romance, and clever twists. Beyond the fluff, it explores deeper themes like acceptance and sacrifice, and adds real weight in the second half of the show.

If you're a BL fan or just crave a well-acted romance with a supernatural flavor and gorgeous dudes, My Golden Blood is a must-see series. It's emotional, beautiful, and one of GmmTV's most fun and sexy shows - perfect for cozy evenings.

It's my first BL in so many years, and oh my god, I loved it! I loved everything-their chemistry, the characters, everything!😆✨.

I enjoyed each and every episode the moment between mark and tong and I'm not kidding when I say it is a good series far more better than I expected it to be.

Highly recommended, watching them gave me butterflies in my stomach, they were both chaotic and lovely couple, they really did a good job

And the graphic of vampires wasn't that bad either And I really enjoyed watching both the actors working together hope they are going to keep working together coz their chemistry is no joke.

Ok, hear me out. Gotta say I was quite dubious at the beginning when they first announced the casting and also with the plot. I've been a twilight fan in my teenager years, so I felt I had kinda outgrown that trope? The whole "I can't resist your blood but I will force myself to, even if it physically pains me to even breathe the same air as you?" Frankly speaking I never understood how Edward and Bella managed when she was on her period- but that's besides the point. Sorry.

Aaanyway, I am loving it. Those two actually work together pretty well! They're funny and sexy and cute and the chemistry is THERE! And all the interviews material? Loving it !! And both of them being fluent enough so that we - as international fans - can participate without always needing to rely on subs! Great!!! Tanto amore dall'Italia 🇮🇹

Plot wise, I'm still kinda waiting for the drama to actually start, but I'm guessing it's due very very soon, but I'm loving how realistic it is - Mark being a vampire and their "intimacy" being a bit difficult and all. I liked that they didn't make it easy.

Watch it... All I can say is that, I now wake up on a Monday and wish it was Wednesday... Not Thursday or Friday... No... Wednesday!!!!

Anyone who tells you not to bother, please ignore them and make up your own mind... I've noticed a lot of different flavored fans and for the most part, everyone is in agreement - GMMTV has hit Gold!!!! You'll only miss out if you listen to the haters... You can only Love Joss and Gawin!!!

Not since #BillyBabe have I been so engulfed in a BL couple or felt the emotional evocation required to be at level, but Joss and Gawin are not just the new couple this year. Like #BillyBabe, they ARE This Year!!!!

Long Live #JossGawin

#My Golden Blood!!!

#JossGawin Forever!!!!

#MarkTong Forever!!!!
