Not what I expected at all, I feel dissapointed tbh

I was initially thrilled to hear about a new vampire-themed BL show, especially since it's a genre that's long overdue for exploration. Unfortunately, the first episode failed to deliver on my expectations.

The storyline was predictable, and the introduction of the main characters felt forced and cringe-worthy. The way Gavin looked at Josh, the vampire, was particularly awkward. The music tried too hard to evoke emotions, and the visuals relied on tired vampire tropes.

While the lead actors are undeniably attractive, their good looks aren't enough to carry the show. As a fan of fantasy, I was disappointed that the story didn't grip me. I'm not eagerly anticipating the next episode, and I'm not invested in the story's outcome.

The show's attempt at suspense fell flat, and the representation felt predictable and clichéd. Overall, I'm underwhelmed by the show's potential and don't feel compelled to continue watching.

A Vampire Romance That Sinks Its Teeth In Deep!

I just finished all 12 episodes of My Golden Blood (2025) and I have to say—it was such an entertaining and memorable ride. I gave it a solid 9/10 for its unique concept, strong chemistry between the leads, and a fresh take on the supernatural BL genre.

🩷 What I Loved:
All the NC scenes were hot and steamy 🔥—Mark (Joss) and Tong (Fluke) had amazing chemistry. Every kiss and intimate moment was filled with tension and passion 💋.
Both actors were not only talented, but also tall, handsome, and visually stunning. Serious eye candy all around 😍.
Loved the English OST 🎶—emotional, catchy, and perfectly placed.
The university campus setting was probably the most modern and high-tech I’ve seen in any Thai BL 🏫💡—really added to the production value.

🧩 Room for Improvement:
The ending felt a little rushed—I wish they had spent more time wrapping things up emotionally .
Some of the fight scenes were a bit underwhelming compared to Korean or Western standards ⚔️—could’ve used more impact and polish.
I was really hoping Tong would turn into a vampire after Mark bit him 🧛‍♂️💉—and then they’d have a wild, passionate love scene 😅. That didn’t happen, but I’m holding out hope for a special episode!

✨ Final Thoughts:
Despite a few minor flaws, My Golden Blood really impressed me. It blends romance, fantasy, and suspense in a way that feels fresh and addictive. With sizzling chemistry, striking visuals, and a touch of mystery, it’s definitely one of my top BLs of 2025 so far.

Rating: ⭐ 9/10
Rewatch Value: Yes! Especially the steamy scenes and sweet romantic 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 :)

Best Romance BL all time !

I'm finally here to leave my comment🥰 I'm very proud of myself I trended a series for the first time and had a blast doing it! I learned to know a lot of great people thanks to it and my country was also nr 1 trending, wich I would have never expected in my wildest dreams. I'm gonna frame that 1.5+M trend and hang it in my room because it's HISTORY!!!

Please forgive me if there are too many typos in this, because after this I'm gonna sleep need to rest, I'm tired!

LET ME TELL YOU GUYS, I HAVE WATCHED A LOT OF BL BUT THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE, THIS PERFECTLY IMPERFECT SERIES IS MY NUMBER ONE ✨✨✨

My Golden Blood is a very low budget project 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, there are some plotholes in the vampire story and sometimes the audio is also not great 😭 The editing also made it cringy several times. THOSE ARE THE BAD THINGS 😭😭

NOW THE GOOD STUFF: I have never seen such a romantic BL before and I have watched a lot of BL trust me!! The romantic moments are absolutly perfect, I loved it so much. I was also stunned by the cinematography, the way it's filmed with the sceneries and the lightnings I found that so beautiful. I could really feel it was made with love and passion !! And the chemistry between Joss and Gawin is something out of this world, just WOAW every romantic and passionate moment looks so natural OMG they're so real for that 😱❤️

Now the acting, all the actors are insane, they really delivered!! I saw a lot of comments saying they were annoyed by Gawin's acting, I don't understand them. It was the first time Gawin played such a comedic-dramatic character and I could immediately feel that he was having a blast and playing the role of his life, I could feel it beaming out of my screen 😆 and I was right, he said in his interviews that he really loves to be a kid, being his fan for years I'm so proud that I understand his acting performances 😁 And Gawin is the best in dramatic moments, in the last episodes this man is ACTING ✨❤️‍🔥IT'S MAGICAL

Joss is also a great actor, I was never his fan but I saw him in a several shows (he slayed his role in The Player! Go watch it if you haven't yet) I must say he plays a perfect romantic, never expected to love him that much in his role.

The other side character, are also great, I mean Um is a Queen and she shows it. Neo also played well, I like him when he plays more seriously. And Mond I enjoyed him playing, slaying as always as the bad guy.

SO if you're looking for a vampire story, I'm sorry but the show is mainly focused on the LOVE story. Showing the HUMAN feelings was one of the main ingredients for this show, the director made a point on that!!

Now let me tell you a bit of the kind off love that was portrayed, a very healty one that is 💕 both green flags, they talk to each other, no misunderstandings because the problems are solved pretty quickly thanks to their communication, they can't bear to see the other one suffer or in pain and they would do anything for each other ❤️💕

For me each episode was better than the previous one, and that's what a show has to do.
I'm sorry that my comment to be so long 🙏🙏

I have one more thing to say but that's a spoiler, something that rarely happens in Gmmtv shows.
SPOILERS:

People die in this show, Tonkla the best friend and brother dies. I loved his death so much, he died so peacefully with no regrets and a smile on his face. That's reason Tong could move on from his death, he wanted to respect Tonkla's sacrifice and last words.
Thara dying, oh yes!!! She so deserved it!!
And I was surprise by Nakan's death, he died the same way as Tonkla. A shame we didn't get his backstory, that would have been very interesting.

Also if you watch this series and you SHIP Nakan with Tonkla, sorry but you haven't understand how this show goes. That never occured to me but a lot of people did ship them.

Try watching it first

I've watched it up to episode 5 and the storyline is progressing quickly but surely. The CGI was bad (I admit) at the beginning of the episode, but everything from the plot, acting, cinematography, soundtrack is pretty good and worth watching.

I still never doubted Gawin's acting and indeed his acting as an "tong" innocent and funny, needs to be applauded. As for joss, this is the first time I've seen him acting in a series and he can play "mark" well, how "mark" is stiff when he's not close to "tong" but turns more expressive when he's with "tong". And the other actors are also so cool.

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!

Campy goodness, scorching chemistry and vampire lore with a modern twist

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

DON'T MISS IT!!THIS IS THE ONE!! If you're looking for something fresh n new.

The Only BL that's worth Watching..for me these days.

The only series I've been waiting for so long was MGB and it was so worth it. Anyone who has seen the series will agree with me. I was so excited to watch JossGawin together and boy it is a ride..it makes us feel single though as Joss Said...

Look at the story and actors,the effort that was put into this work and ignore the poor CGI effects, editing faults, cringe moments.. cause it gets so much better!!!

The series starts with introduction of several Characters, vampires and how they have blended into the human world. We get to see the power of Vampires on humans. And that there's this type of blood called Golden Blood that makes vampires have incredible powers. Some of them want to use it for their own selfish desires and some of them want to protect people with Golden Blood. I loved how they took a new take on vampires, it's different form the Vampire stories that I have seen and it is very engaging. Makes you wonder how everything is going to turn out.

My babies JossGawin did a very great job at portraying MarkTong. They are very unique and great actors. Without any workshops and any prep together they did an amazing job cause whenever we see them onscreen it shows, they have Undeniable chemistry, they just fit perfect together. I love it.

You have to see how Mark and Tong are connected and how they enter each other's lives and how they change because of eachother as the story progress. I'm not gonna say more cause I don't want to give any spoilers for newbies. I'll say that Every scene with MarkTong gave me butterflies. JossGawin have an amazing chemistry that just looks so natural and domestic. The tension between MarkTong burns my heart and makes me feel things. It's just something I've never seen in other BL couples. We can feel the sexual tension between MarkTong through the screen that hits you straight to heart. We can feel the longing,love,desire that they have for eachother,it's just an indescribable feeling. They are so cute together. I'm so hyped to see the upcoming episodes.

No story is a bed of flowers so there's always a bad guy to ruin things for the main couple. Here we have Nakan and Tara. I feel they both,one way or another are gonna make things hard for MarkTong. Just have to see what kind of persons Nakan,Thara turn out to be. Who is the bad guy!?

Overall this is a MUST WATCH!!! Don't miss this masterpiece of a love story. Hands down best thing that's evere happened to me this year.!!I only wish to see JossGawin together in more series. Have to see my Golden Couple sail a long ship.

My yapa yapa....
Every newly released BLs these days has great actors but mediocre stories, too much NC scenes/too much fan service etc,just from the fan reels I could tell it's not for me. It also conflicts with the factor that I'm 30 and I'm seeing 17/18 yrs doing explicit stuff, I couldn't bring myself to watch them If I wanted to see something like that I'd go watch age appropriate P*rn rather than these whiplashes jarring me. I look for BLs for a good story and to support BL actors, I can't do that these days and finally stopped watching BLs altogether. But MY GOLDEN BLOOD is breath of fresh air and its like finding oasis in a dessert.

If you’re debating whether to start it, don’t hesitate! ;)

I absolutely love My Golden Blood! The chemistry between the actors is the best I’ve ever seen — it’s magnetic and pulls you into every scene. Each character is thoughtfully developed, and the acting is flawless. You can feel the depth and care that went into every performance.

The structure of the series reminds me of Harry Potter. In the beginning, you might not understand everything, but as the story unfolds, each element clicks into place. It’s a clever, layered narrative that rewards your attention. The director did a brilliant job bringing this complex world to life — visually, emotionally, and narratively.

If you’re debating whether to start it, don’t hesitate. Most of the negative comments I’ve seen are filled with bitterness and lack any real objectivity. They don’t reflect the actual quality of the series. Sure, you could give it a 9 out of 10 — but considering how much unfair criticism it’s getting, I believe it deserves higher just to balance things out and give new viewers a clear and fair perspective.

And about the “bad CGI” — it’s really just one brief scene in the first episode. Skip that moment if you must, because what follows is 11 episodes of pure magic and emotional depth. Don’t let one minor flaw keep you from experiencing one of the most captivating shows out there right now.

A masterpiece I will miss

After finishing My Golden Blood I have some things I want to say..
Everything has made such huge progress!
(It was already great from the beginning but that's not what I mean) :
If we look back at ep 1 and then at the end of My Golden Blood we'll see that so many different things changed/happened.
A lot of things happened, more characters have appeared and feelings changed.
From a series which I just wanted to give a try to a series which meant a lot to me.
To a series and story which I felt.
Not only was the story interesting but also the plot, characters,actors and songs.
I knew Gawin from Not me and I have to say I loved him in Not me and I'm so proud of him and Joss..They made SUCH a great job.
The last episode was emotional for me but after all the smiles and maybe also tears I'm happy with the end.
I will miss this series a LOT and actually don't know what to do about it lol.
But that means that this series has a place in my heart.
I'm thankful and happy this series was made and that I enjoyed it.

As an ancient sage (iqiyi's tiktok profile) said “1% VAMPIRE 99% BOYFRIEND”

If you are looking for a vampire story I suggest you to change drama, because this tv series is about a love story with just a little sprinkling of vampires.
If you are a romantic like me, mentally prepare yourself to have to turn a blind eye to some plot choices (still shocked by the Eiffel Tower scene honestly, why?) and budget choices (it's no one's fault except our beloved gmmtv I guess). Without taking in account these details, I can assure you that Mark and Tong will make you fall in love with their love story!

STORY: having read the novel I have to say that I think there has been an improvement in the plot. I didn't like some of the characters' choices, but honestly I don't really care because I was too busy enjoying the chemistry between Joss and Gawin, who were stellar. At first I didn't think I would see scenes like this considering the presentation of the characters in the first episodes, but I really loved Mark's vulnerability and Tong's proactiveness.
ACTING/CAST: the best part of the drama along with the music. This is my first Joss's drama, but I'm actually a fan of Gawin from DBK and I had no doubts that I would like his acting. But I didn't think that I would love the partnership between Joss and Gawin so much. The scenes between them are just amazing. It's the little gestures and glances they exchanged as Mark and Tong that made me follow the drama from the first episode to the last. I could rewatch their scenes together over and over again
MUSIC: I've had the my golden blood OSTs in my personal playlist for like a month now and I listen to them all the time. Closer is my favorite, but when Ever After came out, I got really emotional. Bravi!!
REWATCH VALUE: for the plot not so much, but MarkTong conquered my heart with their love story, so I would gladly see them again.
OVERALL: EXCUSE ME WE'VE GOT BABYGIRL GAWIN, THIS IS A 100/10 FOR ME

In short if you like couples with amazing chemistry, Joss's abs (in every episodes! Wtf I hope he was paid well ahaha), Gawin's talent (as an actor and as a singer!) and excellent ost this drama is for you!
Personally, I really hope we can see another drama with these two actors as the leads, with a little more budget and a more engaging plot they can really create a masterpiece.
And when that happens I'll come back here to rewatch My Golden Blood to remember where it all began.
Thank you Mark, Tong (and Tonklaaaa) for the journey!
