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

So in my opinion....
So in my opinion this show 10, 10 on all things story, cast, music and ofc romance. For people who are massive lovers of vampire romances and BLS this is 100% your series but if your here for the action of it ehhh I imagine that you would give it about a 5 to 4 star rating. It doesn't follow your typical vampire shows for sure in the sense that vampire are cruel, blood sucking monsters that bite without any shame or care. It's a very mellow, well balanced show in just about all things between comedy, tear jerkers and a dash of some spicy lip touching and bare skin moments! The story was captivating and the characters were interesting, some situations did have me clapping like seal cause I was so on edge my freakout meter was breaking and yea cliff hangers.... ah good old cliff hangers had me on edge just about every week and having to wait was agonizing. I feel like the ending completed very well and about how even I had expected it to end, so for me the ending didn't feel like it left anything out, maybe a tab bit longer so I could continue to eyeball the handsome Marks chest some more but eh I can just rewatch it.So my overall conclusion would be this, don't go in expecting this to be a super action packed ride, it's very heart warming, loving and in some places tragic but it's a very good romance to warm the hearts of those who just love to see two people being in love with a little life difficulties. Also music is totally going on my playlist. The music was so good.

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.

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?
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?

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.

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.

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 Boring Blood
Vampire show so boring and bland the only power the vampire had was taking off his cloths and showing us his underwear. Seriously, what the hell was this? And did they even do anything vampire-esque on this show? Even with the fighting, those vampires were at best doing cardio and yoga poses. Let me explain:This show was so boring it came to a point where I put it on whenever I couldn't sleep, and it was the best sleeping pill ever. Literally, the main couple were so bland, unless you had a telescope it was impossible to find their chemistry. The two missionary nc scenes they had was meh. Like, making a tub nc with roses look so dull must be a new achievement. Mark the vampire kept taking his cloths off at random and tried to heal someone who had a metal rod stuck in their chest. Boy why? just dumb. Tong the 'Golden Blood' made just the stupidest and most annoying decisions, and he kept doing whatever the hell he was doing with his mouth and eyebrows. No, but real talk, was that whole face thing supposed to make Tong look demure and soft? What the hell was that? That happy ending was truly undeserving. Also, how much does a shaver cost?
And the bad guys. LMAO, talk about generic. The first bad guy get's find out and dude went to sit by some river on his garden chair and just waited for his enemies to find him. And when they did, he became one of the good guys who immediately died a worthless dead, talking about going to be with his love one when this whole drama he hadn't mentioned them once. Like why is you lying about having someone? Also, the big final bad guy was so meh, literally her powers didn't even work, cuz homegirl saw none of that coming for her. Why was anyone afraid of her when her predictions were as useful as the weather forecast?
HAHAHAHHAHAAHAAAAHAHA. I was laughing throughout that finale. That final showdown was ridiculous, all that big deal about drinking the special golden blood, and all Mark did after drinking it is walk in there, pushed two guards aside and got stabbed by Thara. Literally if it wasn't for that one bad guy who died that useless death, Mark would have died too. And after all that a kiss woke up Tong, and this dude was like, 'oh woe is me, I am dying, if only, if only I was immortal like you, hhhmmm.' Of which Mark replied. 'Oh wait, I can grant you that, but are you sure?' And my arse just rolling my eyes like, 'my friend my friend my friend, stop with the theatrics, either die or just become a vampire and let us have some peace. Damn Susan.'
No but this whole show was a giant disappointment. I was expecting some vampire effects and magic, but all we got was some yoga fighting poses, that window scene that had me laughing off my sofa, sniffing stuff and licking blood, some little speed here and there when they remember this is supposed to be a vampire show, Mark biting Tong's lips one time, that black and white effect with flowers, and... well that was about it.
Seriously, it's not by force to do a vampire show if you don't have the budget or a decent plot for that matter. I was so hyped for this, but it ended up just so meh. The plot could have been interesting but it was all over the place, and the acting was nothing to write home about, either, what a waste. Like I am still laughing at that scene when Tongkla died. Dude took 1-2 business days dying, and the all powerful healer vampire tried to heal him with that metal still stuck in his chest. Like, child why? Also, this production managed to make Neo dull. Neo! How? Dude have so much aura he is loud just by appearing on screen and blinking, and they managed to make him bland and dull. Yikes.
I do hope Joss and Gawin get cast for something better in the future, and get to work with a director who can utilize their talent, and they actually take time to develop it and not give us another half-arsed drama like this one. I love their dynamic so I'd like to see more of them, but this was seriously not it.
All-in-all, it wasn't the best but we've had worse, so if you are a fan of these two give it a chance you might enjoy it more than I did.

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
