This series is great
I didn't wait for this series like others who have been waiting for up to 2 years, because my expectations of this series were so low but I was on a whim to watch it because many people said the series was worth watching and yes it turned out to be quite good from my initial expectations. This series may not be a typical vampire story but it's definitely worth watching.Was this review helpful to you?
My Golden Bite: A Love Story (With Fangs)
Ah, my dear mortal observer, lend thine ear to the whispers of one who hath dwelled in the shadowed embrace of time for longer than thy fragile human mind can fathom-- Perhaps I shall switch to a language more beknown to you:I´d like to share my immortal thoughts on the series MY GOLDEN BLOOD, because even a vampire like me can’t resist sinking my teeth into a supernatural romance with a side of drama - be ready for some twists!
First off, props to the four veteran screenwriters who tried to tweak the original novel’s plot for the show. I mean, adapting a book into a series is no easy feat—kinda like trying to drink blood from a teacup instead of a neck, but hey, they gave it a shot...
The acting? Solid. P’Fluke, who won me over in “Not Me” back in 2021, and P’Joss (my “3 Will Be Free” 2019 crush) carry this story of a bittersweet supernatural love. Mark and Tong’s characters are suffering in HD, and I’m over here like, “Y’all better get some kind of vampire union benefits for this.” But let’s be real: Fluke dropped some facial expressions and gestures that gave me major “Bella Swan in Twilight” flashbacks (you know, the “I’m torn between love and existential dread” vibe). Pretty sure I’m not the only undead who felt that and cringed a little.
Now, the plot. It’s not your basic “vampire meets human, sparks fly” stuff—thank god. You need more than just “good acting” to pull off supernatural angst, and for the most part, they didn’t miss the mark. But… there were moments where the comedy relief felt like a garlic clove tossed into a coffin. Like, I’m trying to take this whole “eternal love vs. deadly curses” thing seriously, and then they add some goofy background music and dialogues [vampire sigh]. Balancing dark drama and humour is tough. They’re not bad at it, but sometimes it’s like they’re stuck in this weird middle zone: too serious to be a full-on comedy, too goofy to be 100% “edge-of-your-seat” drama. Am I the only one who feels this? Maybe it’s a “vampire who’s seen too many shows” problem, but still.
Oh, and the writing—they teased us with this creepy vampire stuff (hello, Meena! That could’ve been a whole spooky subplot), but then they pulled back like a vampire recoiling from a nightlight. Maybe they wanted to keep it light? Fair enough—kinda like how “What We Do In The Shadows” mixes fangs and fart jokes, which honestly works. But here? I’m just sitting there like, “Make up your mind: are we doing gothic tragedy or vampire sitcom?” Either way, props to GMMTV for trying something new. I’m all for more weird, niche plots—keeps things interesting, y’know? Like, us vampires appreciate a little variety in our entertainment.
Overall, it’s a solid effort. The actors are killing it (pun intended), and I’m here for GMMTV branching out. Will I rewatch it? Maybe on a slow night when I’m craving something that’s part angsty love story, part “vampires but make it lighthearted.” And hey, kudos to them for “raising awareness” about us “secretly living among you.” [Insert sarcastic vampire grin here.] Spoiler: we’re mostly just chilling, avoiding sunlight, and judging bad TV dramas.

(changed from 7.5 TO 8.0 because the cinematography adds to the whole rating)

Classic vampire story with hot guys
Well, I'm not really sure if I should be disappointed or happy about this series, so I will decide to just be relieved it ended happily.Overall the show looka really good. Lighting, decor, costumes, the actors, ... It all looks very polished and neat. The only flaw was the blood, and specifically the placement and amounts. These were illogical and weird on some scenes.
Gawin and Joss are both good actors, Gawin took the entire stage with his performance. Joss seemed a bit hindered by the emotionlesness he had to portray, but put on a very believable vampire
The villains, the friends, the allies and foes all appeared as and when they were expected, not really any surprises there.
The lovestory is believable, but i would have liked to see a bit more. Can't really explain what exactly, but something was missing.
The ending was also unsurprising. And i can't help but think that if they had thought of this solution sooner, we could have been done in 6 eps with 50% less victims. But thats how these stories go.
So in conclusion, yes it was good and entertaining but hardly surprising or even exciting and thats a bit of a miss.

my opinion on the series so far
The series started off well, the JossGawins have chemistry and are acting well (in my opinion).The special effects aren't the best, but that's the least of it, because we have to enjoy the series regardless of whether the effects are good or bad. The series is going in a good direction, the second episode was better than the first. I'm loving literally everything about this series, I was super anxious for it to come out and now I'm finally watching it.
I'm loving the vampire vibe, best vampire bl I've seen so far, it has a bit of comedy and gives a charm to the bl itself

BITTEN BY LOVE
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.

Why You Should Watch My Golden Blood
Even though My Golden Blood falls into the vampire genre, it leans much more into the romantic side of things. The series is filled with sweet, tender moments between Joss and Gawin, whose on-screen chemistry is undeniable. Their visuals together are absolutely stunning – no exaggeration. The storyline is captivating, with enough twists and drama to keep you hooked. The only downside is the CGI in the beginning, which might be a bit distracting, but once you get past that, the series becomes truly addictive. If you love heartfelt romance with a supernatural twist, My Golden Blood is definitely worth a watch!Was this review helpful to you?
1It’s Not Perfect, But It’s a Bloody Good Time
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed My Golden Blood. While the storyline isn’t groundbreaking, it’s still engaging and fun to watch. It strikes a balance between drama, romance, and supernatural elements, making it a solid pick for fans of the genre.However, I did notice some oddly timed cuts throughout the show. At times, scenes felt abruptly shortened or transitioned too quickly, which occasionally disrupted the pacing.
As for the acting, I personally didn’t find it deserving of the criticism I’ve seen in other reviews. No, it’s not Oscar-level, but it’s more than adequate for a TV series of this type and far better than many others I’ve seen.
The CGI and special effects were admittedly a bit dated and occasionally clunky, but oddly enough, that added a sense of nostalgia for me. It reminded me of some of Thailand’s earlier supernatural dramas, there’s a charm in that slightly rough-around-the-edges feel.
What absolutely cannot be denied is the chemistry between the two leads. Their connection is palpable and carries much of the emotional weight of the series. It’s that dynamic that really keeps you invested, even during some of the more cliché or corny moments, which, let’s be honest, are almost expected in a vampire-themed show.
Overall, I genuinely enjoyed My Golden Blood. Yes, it has its flaws, but it also has heart. If you’re a fan of vampire stories, don’t let the negative reviews deter you. Give it a chance, you might end up liking it as much as I did.

My Golden Blood Surprised Me (In a Good Way)
Tbh, the Gooden Blood series really exceeded my expectations. Despite some obvious CGI and budget limitations, the show still delivered. The actors did a great job everyone fit their roles perfectly and brought their characters to life. The plot overall followed the source material pretty well, which I respect. It’s not flawless, but if you go in for a fun, loyal adaptation rather than a prestige drama, it’s definitely an enjoyable watch.What I really appreciated was how the plot stayed true to the book. It felt like the creators actually cared about the source material. Overall, it’s a fun and enjoyable series. Definitely worth a watch!

Chemistry was insane good
First, the bad points:CGI was very bad.
Vampires have an indefinable pattern.
Sometimes they were stronger than humans, sometimes not and ect.
Positive points: One of the best love stories I've seen. The structure was good and made sense. You could feel the connection between the two main characters and empathize with them, because of them the serie work, despite its flaws.
I will rewatch it often because of them.

This is genuinely one of the best BLs GMM has ever made.
Now, that is with the caveat that you have to be capable of enjoying pure campy fun. Are the special effects particularly corny? Absolutely. Does it detract from the overall story? I'd argue it doesn't.Joss and Gawin's chemistry is also just supurb. In fact, I'd argue this is the best chemistry Gawin has had with any of his partners. They really succeeded in that classic, yearning, punch-to-the-gut romance kind of way.
My only complaint is I think not having a side, toxic romance between Mond and Neo was a mistake. Numerous times I thought they'd go there, but alas. It not having that doesn't take away from it either.
It's a really fun time, that doesn't fail to sit in it's serious moments

BL Twilight?? SIGN ME UP!!!
Is it a masterpiece? No. but if you’re into cliché vampire (mostly romance) plots and a fan of JossGawin you will enjoy it!!Things i liked:
The romance between Mark and Tong felt natural, chemistry between them was great! Their kisses and intimate scenes were realistic and never felt forced to me. The acting was solid across the board.
At first, i wasn’t sure how i felt about JossGawin together. I knew Gawin since (Not Me the series) But for Joss, i didn’t really know anything about him.. But after watching this, I’m very excited for their future series together!!
Visually Joss and Gawin are STUNNING together. They're so sweet and soft to watch. And seem very close and match eachother well. Their chemistry On and Off Screen is beautiful!! And I’m 100% invested in the JossGawin pairing🫂🫂 Very excited to see them in Only Friends season 2!!
THE OST IS BEAUTIFUL!! Closer, Ever After, and (Just You) are the top on my playlist rn✨✨
The filming locations i LOVEDD. The flower-shop had a great design...it was really beautiful!! All the houses and rooms were very well designed. The lighting and cinematography was great too!
As for the people complaining that joss was shirtless/half naked for TOO many episodes is WILD.
Idk why are y’all complaining that’s eye candy for me😌😌 Neo was NOT joking about Joss having the nicest body in GMMTV 5555
The side characters:
Out of everyone, i enjoyed Nakan the most. His story was interesting and wish we got more from his point of view…
Miss Thara killed her role in this series (Her stepping on Nakan was hawtt ME NEXT-) but her storyline was predictable…
TonKla was cute (love you Neo) but did him dirty ngl😭😭
SO the main problems for me was…
The CGI:
I understand that this is a low budget series and we can really feel it, it's really a shame (there was not even a workshop for it!!!!!) so due to that the editing is pretty bad.. In EP 12 the green screens were so badly edited in😭😭 It distracted me SO much and took me out of the wholesome moment that they were having. (HOWEVER, the upside down eiffel tower scene - inject it in my veins cuz I ATE THAT SHIT UP)
The audio:
The audio was- well, let’s just say (Crispy at times) During a very emotional scene, it felt like they were using one of those five dollar microphones that got dropped in the river ngl😭😭 It FR took me out of the moment. Also background music was not my favorite. (I’ve heard worse though)
The plot/Story: Not getting into to spoilers.
There was lots of plot holes and things that weren’t explained well. Or just didn’t make sense. I didn't like how they did the flashbacks to the past cause it was so random and messy. And tbh I just felt like they put so many moments just to get the ep runtime. It felt forced and unnecessary, mostly the college scenes. Wish they would have put more focus on the (vampire plot)
Ending thoughts:
10/10 potential, unfortunately didn’t quite deliver.
BUT Did i enjoy it- %100 YES😩😩
So go ahead and watch it. Give it a chance :)
