A Classic Vampire Romance with Abundant Twists & Turns!!
This is it! This is the time for the verdict.
I’ve been waiting for “My Golden Blood” since it was announced in 2023. The pilot trailer was chef’s kiss, and as a die-hard vampire lore enthusiast, I was buzzing. Now that I’ve devoured all twelve episodes (more than once, mind you), here’s my final, fang-filled verdict.
Not Everyone’s Cup of (Blood) Tea
Let’s be clear: this show is not for everyone. It’s camp, melodramatic, sometimes gloriously over-the-top, and sprinkled with Bollywood-esque flair. There are mixed reviews, and that’s fair—each to their own. But for me? I absolutely loved it, and here’s why.
A Bollywood-ish BL Done Right
Before you scoff or snort at the heading, I will tell you how endearing I find the love for melodrama among the Indian and Thai fiction media! And the plot and tropes of My Golden Blood reminded me of Bollywood films for that reason.
My Golden Blood is a beautifully chaotic cocktail of action, pining, dramatic face-offs, bad guy-bashing, and a reunion that makes your heart do somersaults. It’s quite unlike anything GMMTV has dared before, and for that, the entire team deserves a standing ovation.
Bringing in director Ark Saroj was nothing short of divine intervention. His keen eye for symbolism (those black and white dream sequences are brilliant!) and his photographer’s sensibility shine through every frame. Each shot is meticulously crafted: the lighting, the atmosphere, the editing—top-notch.
