It was 3B for me : Boring, Bullshit, BL
Where do I even start…From the very beginning, the show just didn’t grab me. It felt weak and unconvincing right off the bat. I honestly feel sorry for Joss and Gawin there was so much potential, but it was completely wasted.
The direction was poor, and the screenwriting? It was an absolute mess. So many plot holes and nonsensical scenes it almost felt like an insult to the audience’s intelligence, as if we were expected to accept anything without question.
Finishing this series was a real struggle for me, and that says a lot considering I usually binge dramas in one go.
I found it painfully boring and kept hoping it would eventually pick up. Sadly, it never did.
As someone who loves vampire-themed shows, the whole thing felt so inconsistent, and I was left deeply disappointed.
The story was so incoherent that by the end, I honestly had no idea what was even happening.
This is, without a doubt, in my top 5 worst BL shows and trust me, I’ve watched a lot.
This is actually the first time I’ve ever felt compelled to leave a comment, just because I genuinely can’t believe what I watched.
I did enjoy the love scenes only when viewed as isolated scenes as I felt the chemistry at those moment. Within the context of the story, they made no sense. It felt more like they threw in a few steamy moments just to please fans, without any real buildup or emotional depth.
One of the few redeeming qualities was the OST, I have to give credit there. The songs were well-produced and quite enjoyable.
Overall, as someone who’s been part of the BL fandom for a long time, I’d rate My Golden Blood a 4.5/10. It's a huge disappointment with a lot of missed opportunities.
I won’t be rewatching it ever, it really felt like a waste of time.
