My Golden Blood

Twilight called and it wants its dignity back!!

I am no Stephenie Meyer, but compared to Golden Blood, Twilight did a pretty solid job, seemed more coherent than this and that alone should tell you everything you need to know about this drama.

Let’s start from the beginning. I was genuinely excited for this series. I waited eagerly for GMMTV to announce the slot, and the first few episodes didn’t disappoint. They were campy and kitschy in a fun, entertaining way, you know the kind of over-the-top storytelling that didn’t take itself too seriously and had great chemistry to carry it.

But here is the thing, we have come a long way with fantasy genre. Even supernatural world need logic (atleast some), some basic rules that make sense within the world they have built. Vampires don’t follow human logic, sure I agree, but their world should still have some kind of structure.
For example : when a human discovers vampires exist, the natural reaction should be fear, suspicion, or at the very least curiosity. You run, you hide, you maybe go home and do a little research. What you don’t do is fratenize with them five minutes later. I missed the whole chase and run aspect of a forbidden romance.

The whole "vampire lore" felt dull and dry. I am a sucker for supernatural romances but this went from campy to sometimes uncomfortable to watch real quick!

As the drama went on, the characters just started acting... weird. Their decisions didn’t make much sense and their emotions seemed to flip on and off like a switch. One minute they are scared, the next they are head over heels, with zero explanation. One moment one tries to kill the other and the next moment they are hot and heavy for each other.

The twists didn’t feel justified and they just kind of happened, like the writers were tossing in drama for the sake of it. It all started to feel really random and by the end, none of it came together in a way that made sense. Whatever logic the show had in the beginning clearly checked out halfway through and what was left was just an unintentionally cringey mess.

Coming to the romance, I could definitely see the chemistry between Joss and Gavin. Their NC scenes were a standout, just the right amount of spice and visually on point. But was that enough to save this sinking ship? Sadly No. Hot leads can't save a cold script.

And I am all for unique character quirks, but Mark’s obsession with Tong’s sweat (!?) was borderline gross. I get it, everyone has got their "thing", but maybe let’s stick to “you smell nice” instead of “your post workout musk drives me wild.”

The supporting character arcs (especially Nakan and Tonkla) had such a strong start. But somewhere along the way, in an attempt to make their journeys feel more “unpredictable” or shocking, the writing took a sharp 180°.
What we ended up with felt less like organic growth and more like a complete rewrite. It was jarring, almost as if we were suddenly watching entirely different characters. The emotional consistency and depth that made them compelling in the beginning got lost in the twist for the sake of surprise.

As for the acting, I’ve seen Gavin’s work before and I know he can act very well, but this script gave him nothing to work with. If anything, it dragged him down. Joss, on the other hand was a mixed bag. I haven’t seen him in anything else, so I want to give him the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe with a tighter script and better direction, he could show some range.

Also, I never knew budget could be a problem for GMMTV. Those golden lenses looked like they came straight from the bargain bin, you know buy 1 get 1 free thing. And the special effects just looked childish at times. I know Joss and Gavin are very easy on the eyes but this was a supernatural series, that is not the only visual we needed. They could have just polished that a bit.

Overall, this was the classic example of writing being the weakest link and everything had to suffer because of it. This show made me miss the sparkly vampires. I will not recommend this unless you want to watch it for the leads. But I would rather recommend watching YouTube shorts or instagram reels of them, things would make more sense there.

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!

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.

A Mix of Missed Potential and Mesmerising Talent

Look, I’ll be honest—I wasn’t exactly jumping out of my seat when I first heard about My Golden Blood. I didn’t have high hopes. But I gave it a go because the cast looked promising—and let’s be real, with Joss and Gawin headlining, it was hard not to at least be curious.

My Golden Blood (Thai: เลือดนายลมหายใจฉัน) is a 2025 fantasy-romance BL series produced by GMMTV and Matching Max Solutions. Directed by Saroj Kunatanad and written by Bee Pongsate Lucksameepong and Piangpaitoon Satrawaha, the series stars Way-Ar Sangngern (Joss) as the 200-year-old vampire Mark and Gawin Caskey (Fluke) as the sweet but stubborn human Tong. The series airs on GMM25 and streams on GagaOOLala, iQIYI, and GMMTV’s YouTube channel.

1. The Plot
Mark is a broody, immortal vampire who’s spent centuries wandering through existence with little purpose—until he meets Tong, a 20-year-old uni student with an ultra-rare blood type: "Golden Blood". This blood is every vampire’s kryptonite and obsession, making Tong both precious and a target. Mark’s job? Protect him at all costs, even from himself.

The show kicks off with promise. A vampire-human love story with heavy BL tones? Yes, please. Tong is cheerful and clueless; Mark is stoic and seductive. There are some spicy, almost homoerotic moments—classic BL meets Gothic romance. Think brooding vampire emerging shirtless from a pool while the human gazes on, confused and intrigued. It's giving Twilight with a homoerotic twist.

But then… things kind of unravel.

2. The Good Stuff
Joss (Mark): Perfectly cast. He’s got the body, the presence, and the intensity to make a convincing vampire. He brought elegance and sex appeal to a role that could have easily turned cheesy. Even when the writing faltered, he held his ground.

Gawin (Tong): While this is the first time I found Gawin’s character not all that likeable (Tong made some head-scratching decisions), I’ve got to hand it to him—he plays a convincing 20-year-old. From Not Me to Enchanté to Dark Blue Kiss, he’s proven time and again he’s got serious range. Even when I found Tong’s choices frustrating, Gawin made him real.

Um Apasiri as Miss Thara: Just… wow. Regal, commanding, and drop-dead gorgeous. Every scene she was in had gravitas. She’s an absolute queen and brought that veteran magic to the screen.

Mond Tanutchai (Nakan): Always sexy, always mysterious. If anyone was born to play a vampire with moral ambiguity, it’s Mond.

3. The Not-So-Good
Plot & Pacing: The show struggles with momentum. There's a lot of build-up, but not enough payoff. For a vampire show, it seriously lacked any bite—literally. There was more action in a slow yoga class than in the vampire fights here.

Mythology & World-Building: The vampire lore felt underdeveloped. We got hints of a deeper mythos, but it never fully took shape. The only supernatural power Mark seemed to flex was taking off his shirt.

Chemistry: For a romance, especially BL, chemistry is everything. But Mark and Tong? You needed a telescope to spot the sparks. Even the sex lacked intensity. They felt more obligatory than passionate.

4. Final Thoughts
The series flirts with so many interesting themes—immortality, forbidden love, the sensuality of vampirism, existential dread—but never fully commits to any of them. The writing feels safe, sometimes flat, and misses the emotional punch that this kind of story should deliver.

Still, it’s worth watching for the cast alone. Gawin’s emotional nuance, Joss’s charisma, and Um’s queenly presence keep the show afloat. If you’re a BL fan or love vampire fiction, you’ll probably find something to enjoy—just go in with tempered expectations.

Is My Golden Blood groundbreaking? Not really. Is it campy, visually pleasing, and mildly entertaining? Absolutely. Just don’t expect fangs that dig too deep.

OUR Golden Blood

I don’t leave reviews but when I do, it’s because of speedos- I mean the story!

First, let me get this out of the way. WHERE THE FUCK HAS JOSS BEEN?!

GMMTV delivered this GORGEOUS SEX GOD to our BL world. Finally. THE TOP TO ALL TOPS. At 6’2 with abs and buns of steel, he could turn any men gay and any of the well established daddies into his prey. He’s ultimate Big Zaddy.

Ok. I wiped my drool. On to the series:

It’s a fantasy romance between a vampire and human. Come on y’all . It’s a sexy gay vampire. So let’s just leave the prejudice aside and have fun. Some of y’all are just so serious.

Story: pretty interesting and good twists here and there. The focus is more on the romance so LOTS OF RATED R SCENES. I love that it has so many scenes of the leads and no annoying side characters or excessive side couples. There’s no repetitive virgin trope either. These are mature people.

Ship: the JossGawin ship is a cruise ship and we’re on a permanent vacation. I thought Gawin was the ultimate masculine top from his previous BL series. Then came Joss. O. M. G. Who knew Gawin could be such dethroned from his alpha status so quickly?! I mean even at 6 feet, Joss made G looked so cute and cuddly because of his big boy energy. They’re both so gorgeous together.

Romance: SO ROMANTIC. Zaddy Vampire Mark has it BAD for his Tong. The best part of their relationship is that they COMMUNICATE. How fucking sexy is that? They never let a misunderstanding go longer than 5 mins before talking about it. I love that even though they got outside forces telling them to break up and that their relationship would never be possible- instead of listening to those voices, they both were like oh yea? Watch me. I’m gonna love the fuck out of him.

Rated R scenes: Don’t get me started on these. 3 words: Joss/Mark, bathtub, Tong’s shirt. OMFG. And the devouring kisses. Joss/Mark was hungry.

Ending: SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL. I love it.

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

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.

XOXO A Vampire Who Still Hasn't Mastered the Art of Subtlety (But Honestly, Who Needs It?)

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

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!
