My Golden Blood

They have amazing chemistry

This drama is very cool. Joss and Gawin are incredibly good they have such an amazing chemistry. It’s so nice to see them together and they look so naturale you have to see them. The story is great even if some parts look a bit awkward since Mark is a Vampire. But when you reach ep.3 everything will fit into place and now I ‘m giggling like a little girl for every new episodes.. hands down this bl has THE BEST OSTs Gawin has such an amazing voice and Joss is very good too (?) I had no idea. Please support this serie and you wont regret it. I really love it. Big shoutout to all the amazing actors

Mark and his Golden Blood donor

I wasn't feeling it. There was so much wrong with episodes 1-5 that had me searching every person who was involved. From the director, production team, actors, and the two kids. What in the bl black hole was this? Nope. We waited too long for this. I did not sign up for this. Joss and Garwin were to bring Mark and Tong to life. Who doesn't like a series led by a good-looking vampire. I apologize. A gorgeously handsome vampire. Let's begin.

Three things were missing. A little gloom, suspense, and copious amounts of blood. You know, the things vampires are known for. Speed, mind reading, and biting a few necks. Well, the director probably wasn't having it. Gloom, non-existent. For people who were supposed to be protecting the golden blood, Tong sure was out and about a lot. Like he wasn't hard to track. Find Mark, and you will find him. Suspense, when the little girl was creepy crawling with the knife to kill Tong, I said finally. Less than 2 minutes, and that's it. Mark to the rescue. The most amount of blood seen was when Kla died and the junior vampire in episode 1. Jnr vamp nailed it. I was getting hopeful when he appeared because nobody was going to convince me that there wasn't room in the budget for better cgi. Joss writhing in electrical pain from a taste of the sacred golden blood had me chuckling. They probably used the same company that did Daou's midnight tremors in Century of Love. Those electrical shocks looked familiar. Then, if that wasn't bad enough, Mark had to save him by going through the glass on the upper floor while holding Tong as they descended to his car. It was so visually depressing. It would have been so much better had they been shown fleeing and then appearing in the car. I get it, budget. The pacing was erratic. The beginning didn't set the tone, whether it were a drama or a rom com. Neo's acting was oddly off. Like he couldn't find the rhythm of his character. He was just there. Voicing his part and going through the motions. When he died, he was probably relieved at that point. Gawin's screwed up face made him look more childish than a 20 year old man. The camera panned away to a far-off look with good reason. Two of them just there looking at an impaled Kla was not good. Also, does Gawin know that self care is important as an actor? An overgrown armpit in one scene and a very rough leg in the first nc scene. Razors are cheap.

What kept me watching? Joss. Joss in his whities. Joss in his blueies. Joss stripped down bare chested. Joss's superior look and constant frowning. I kept vacilitating between ogling and cringing. The director knew that they needed help big time, so him being half naked the most was expected. When Mark said, "If it looks good, why hide it?" Assignment understood.

Then, between 7 and 12, magic happened. The story started coming together, and the real action began. The true enemies revealed themselves, and the plot was finally realized. Special mention of their conversation and Mark fulfilling Tong's request was one of the most beautiful deliveries and emotionally charged scenes in all of Thai history. By the time Tong said, "I do." I was crying buckets. Their connection had ripened to that poignant moment. What a moment! What Joss and Gawin share can not be classed as chemistry. It goes beyond that, and in that moment, it was felt.

I'm not going to gloss over all that wasn't right with the production. The graphics, at times the weak script, Joss's bland acting, Neo's unnaturally bad acting, and the worst fighting scenes in all of vampiredom. When Joss entered through the window, shirtless and bruised, I couldn't contain my laughter. Like he was strong enough to fly, obviously shirtless for impact, but on landing was so drained he had to be held. When Thara descended from the upper floor with one leg bent, yes, another cringe moment. What were the entire team thinking. I'd probably do the same thing because at that point, there was no other way to mess it up. It was what it was.

The writing had flaws, but I will agree with the ending. The culmination of everyone's forever was apt. I was happy to see the fate of Nakhan. Yes, Tonkla died, but Nakhan also had been living in a shell that he too sought release to be with the one he loved. The all seeing Thara not seeing her own demise was perfect. The acting, for the most part, was good enough to keep me watching. Gawin's facial expressions changed over time, and in the end, he was the one who brought the show together.

I recommend seeing it but don't compare it to foreign productions if you are to enjoy it.

Amazing!

This show had 2 small bad things, luckely it was such a great show that these 2 things dind't make me give it less that a 10 out of 10.
The 2 bad things: The pouty face anoyed me so much!! Gawin is a great actor, but this pouting was really bad!!
That fall through the window was so badly executed, i know GMMTV can do so much better... all the other special effects were amazing!!

That said, i loved this show so much, it was exiting, romantic, thrilling and a great plot. The show grew on me and i was all in from the moment they fell in love and the pouting didn't happen so much anymore. This show has a beautifull OST.
The chemistry between Gawin and Joss is amazing, not only were their kisses great, but also how they touch each other, it shows that even hands and fingers can show amazing chemistry.

Also great acting from Um and Mond, they are amazing actors and did the show justice.

I will definatly watch this show again in the future.

excellent visuals, nonsense writing

Overall: I can accept and enjoy vampires, aliens, etc but the world building and writing still needs to be consistent and make sense or it breaks the fantasy for me. 12 episodes about 50 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala (available in the U.S., U.K, Australia & Germany) https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/5176/my-golden-blood-2025-e01 ; iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/my-golden-blood-episode-1-15i43kuok94?lang=en_us ; GMMTV's YouTube Channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI6dCriKkjM96prEY5v2Nhtu&si=_TzfUsEzmPpPs7Jw (not available in SE Asia and countries covered by GagaOOLala). All 3 platforms appear to be the same length.

Content Warnings: past and current murders, blood, stalking, intimate partner abuse, held against will, manipulation, age gap, kidnapping, fights/violence, grief, torture

Watch Suggestions (to focus on sweet/steamy moments with the MLs)
- read the synopsis and watch episode 1
- skip episodes 2 and 3
- episode 4 watch 23-24:30 and 43-end
- episode 5 watch 40:45-end
- watch episode 6
- episode 7 watch beginning to 6:20 or can watch all
- episode 8 skip 12:30-20:15 or could even start at 49 and watch to the end
- stop episode 9 at 35 minutes (they missed out on what could have been a fantastic side couple/redemption arc imo)
- episode 10 watch 15:30-15:55, brief kiss around 18, 22-25, 45:55-end
- episode 11 watch 22:15-27:05 and 28:30-35 to avoid angst/serious stuff
- episode 12 watch 36:45-end

What I Liked
- visuals
- vampires
- sensual moments
- they refused to do the noble idiot trope

Room For Improvement
- not sold on the world building, police aren't concerned about what was happening?, a character who is supposedly good let another character go off and likely murder a bunch more people
- felt they were going for serious/sensual but then the special effects and dialogue gave it a corny feeling
- not a fan of the giant age gap because the younger guy acted like a toddler and also the "taking care of from afar" aka stalking as the younger character was growing up, the power imbalance is gigantic
- episode 2 was a world building exposition dump
- sick after the rain trope and refused to communicate in episode 5
- voicing inner thoughts
- missed opportunity of a solid redemption arc and side couple
- cartoonish idiot villain (why on earth wouldn't he have gotten proof/talked to them earlier?!!!, and he's lived a super long time but somehow isn't smarter/doesn't have resources and is camping out in the wilderness?!!)
- total nonsense to not tell friends the truth "in order to protect them" when not telling them obviously puts them in more danger because they can't make informed decisions, not talking about an obvious solution beforehand, terrible "plans"
- voice over exposition dump at the end of the finale

Could have been EPIC... Could have.

This show had so much potential in my opinion, and also seeing others' comments here, lots of you think the same way.

Episode 1 was outstanding, it gave us a pretty strong start. From Ep2, the show started to exhibit problems as it progressed towards the finale. The plot slowly stopped making any sense, sound/voice issues started to emerge, the script and the direction were getting weaker as well (they literally said out loud all their thoughs and emotions LOL), plus the CGI was horrible. Man, if you don't have to budget, make a strong story and script, so they carry your show. The later you got in the series, the lousier it became, until hardly anthing made sense.

As for other aspects, the quality was fluctuating: the fight scenes were generally badly choreograped but there were some good ideas. Costumes were decent. Side characters' acting was good and bad. They didn't really do justice to the actor Neo, I think he can do better, I blame the director and the screenwriters here (and at many areas).

What was constantly good is the acting of Joss, Fluke and Mond. They would have carried a much more serious toned show on their backs as well easily.

What I missed:
- More lore-building (Vampires, power, rules, history, interactions, power seats)
- Better plot devices
- Less obvious plot twists
- Better dialogues
- Darker tone, vamps are meant to be a bit scary (even tho there are at least permanent deaths)
- A more detailed and meaningful ending

CONCLUSION:
By the final episode of My Golden Blood, it feels more like a project for your highschool drama class than a production for television. SADLY.

6/10

Low Budget, High Chemistry: The BL That Broke My Brain (and My Standards)

Yes, I know this series didn’t have a high budget. It was campy. The script was giving fanfiction written at 2AM. The plot? Confused. Lost. Maybe on holiday.

But hear me out: this is a perfect example of when acting shines, chemistry sizzles, and yes, they’re all ridiculously good-looking. I am superficial. Fight me 🥊✨

Now let’s dive into The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Buckle up.


🌟 The Good:
Honestly, I adored the entire cast. I’m not usually into “shipping” characters (I lie), but Joss and Gawin did something to me spiritually, emotionally, hormonally. I didn’t want the series to end. In fact, I need seventeen more BLs with them. cue that meme “Fantastic, I want 17 of those!”

Special shoutout to the actor who played Nakan. Started off wanting to yeet him into the sun, ended up whispering “you’re the real MVP” by the finale. We love a redemption arc.

And RIP to Aunty Nan, the queen who appeared for 1% of the show but gave 100% Oscar-worthy energy. A legend. Gone too soon.

Now let’s talk about Mother Thara – aka Vampire Mother Theresa. The villainess who wore white instead of black like, “Oh I’m not evil, I just look like a candle at a funeral.” Ma’am, you weren’t fooling anyone. But you were iconic.

Mark and Tong? Soulmates. And that surprise Pride and Prejudice moment? The range! Their English was flawless. I’m pretty sure they have secret Oxford degrees. Honestly, being bilingual is such a flex. (Yes, I speak two languages too, not me casually flexing lmao.)

😬 The Bad:
Okay, look. The actor playing Tong definitely did not look 20. But his mannerisms sold it, so I suspended disbelief and vibes-only’d through it.

Also, Mark was shirtless in every single episode. Why is this in the "bad" section? Because it was BAD for my health. I was weak. I was unwell. I needed the next episode of My Golden Blood like oxygen. Honestly, I’ve never simped harder. Joss is in a league of his own. He’s not just hot and he’s artistically sculpted.

😵 The Ugly:
Let’s be real. That script was on something. The plot was like a drunk GPS, every now and then it made sense, but most of the time I was like “where are we going???”

I get that they were aiming for camp, and the budget said “we can’t help you,” but they still managed to pull off something. And for that? I clap.

Now, the background music? Absolutely criminal. Upbeat pop during serious moments? Ma’am, this is a funeral scene, not a TikTok dance. So I took matters into my own hands and muted the show and curated my own playlist like a true genius. 🎧

Domino Dancing by Pet Shop Boys – perfection for Episode 6.

Fire for You by Cannons – peak drama for the finale.

Up All Night by Cannons – I was, thanks to them.

Yes, I rewatched Episode 6 more times than is healthy. No, I don’t regret it.

💖 Final Thoughts:
Despite the chaos, the plot holes, the rogue music editor (cause what was the background music💀) —I gave it an 8/10. Realistically? It’s more like a 3 or 4, but Joss and Gawin carried this series like Olympic champions. They earned at least 6 points just for breathing on screen. The rest is sprinkled generously for all the small but mighty moments that made it fun.

So go ahead and watch it. Ignore the hate. Watch it for the chemistry, the drama, the unintentional comedy, and the sheer audacity of that plot. Who knows? You might end up loving it too.

A Chaotic, Cheesy Delight

I can't help but liken My Golden Blood to a gas station hot counter meal during a long road trip, unexpected, questionable in quality, yet somehow exactly what I needed.

This Thai BL vampire drama attempts to mix melodrama, romance, and supernatural chaos that will either work for your inner teenage goth. or leave you laughing yourself out of your seat at those who did enjoy it.

It deals with a vampire gaining emotions in a very high school disney kind of way but I'm glad that Tong and Mark at least can discuss their feelings with each other without dragging the drama out for episodes.

The plot is predictable, the CGI is .....well, .... hats off to the intern valiantly battling the special effects alone. Bless them. The vision was there, even if the budget was not. But despite all that, I found it wildly entertaining.

JossGawin’s chemistry is a highlight. Not necessarily in the smoldering, tension filled way but in how comfortable they seem together. Their bond feels genuine and that emotional connection carries the show even when the script stumbles. The romance is sweet and takes centre stage throughout the show. The drama is cheesy melodramatic and the pacing is a little jumpy. I feel like there were important scenes missing.

It could have been a groundbreaking new supernatural BL but gmmtv seemed to just not want to put money into it. However, it still manages to deliver a fun, emotional, and oddly healing experience.

If all that fails to work, the production crew were highly aware of how much Joss invests into his boxer bod, and likes to remind us for a good portion of the show. Joss and his little blue speedos, strutting down the beach, was a bold fashion statement for some, a feast for others, or left you wondering how crushed his boys were looking, like me LOL

If you’re looking for prestige television, this isn’t it. But if you’re in the mood for a show that embraces its own absurdity and lets you revel in the ride, My Golden Blood is worth the watch.

Unexpectedly Addicted to My Golden Blood

I honestly didn’t expect to get this hooked, but here I am—obsessed. The story pulls you in right away with this cool fantasy vibe, but it’s the emotions and characters that really got me. Mark (Joss) as a 200-year-old vampire? Mysterious, broody, and somehow still super lovable. And Fluke as Tong? He’s just so easy to root for—sweet, brave, and with blood that literally changes everything.

Their chemistry felt natural and deep, and I loved how the show balanced the romance with darker, suspenseful moments. There’s drama, there’s tenderness, and even though it’s a vampire story, it never feels over-the-top. It’s just... captivating.

Also, the visuals and music? So on point. Every episode had that polished, cinematic look, and the soundtrack fit perfectly. (I’ve already added “Closer” and “Just You” to my playlist).

If you're into BL with a twist, or you just want something different and emotional, I 100% recommend giving My Golden Blood a try. It’s got heart, tension, and moments that’ll stick with you.

Sexy Vampires

A great start, looking forward to seeing how this develops. Great chemistry so far between the leads and support cast. The OST is really good as well and great overall production value. A very intriguing storyline, it’s been awhile since there’s been a vampire BL. I really enjoyed the preview so it will be interesting to see how the story develops.

Update: How has Joss/Mark never played a Vampire before, those eyes alone are worthy of getting bitten lmao. But seriously he is knocking this one out of the park. So good to see him adding a few layers to his character and seeing them get peeled back slowly, I’m a fan, where have you been all my BL life. Ep.7 and his body ody ody I had the same reaction as Tong OMG! That body is 2nd only to Apo’s bath scene in KP.

Fluke Gawin/Tong has an amazing musical talent so the OST is off the wall good. I’m slowly warming up to his acting so we’ll see how it pans out.

Neo/Tongkla is so sweet and strong. The broship between him and Tong is the only kind you can get out of a supernatural/fantasy type BL and it’s a very strong relationship. I really enjoy watching these two support each other in this genre.
