I Can't Do it ?
I tried, I really did, and I'm at least happy that I tried. But, I had a feeling this just wasn't going to be my cup of tea, and that never changed.
Let's Dive In.
My Golden Blood has a unique (I think? I don't watch supernatural shows like that, lol) spin on a vampire love story. Gawin's character has golden blood that most vampires want, and Joss' character is the one that protects him from those getting to it. I knew this wasn't going to be for me when, in the very first episode, they explain how Mark has been looking after Tong since he was born. Uh-Oh. No. So you've watched him grow up (as a grown up) and still chose to fall for him...? Okay...
Honestly, people had warn me that the CGI would be the part o the series I didn't like, but honestly, it wasn't that bad. Not as bad as people had made it out to be. It was fine, nothing special, but exactly what I aspected from a GMMTV series.
The only thing keeping me was Gawin. I absolutely love him so much, and his acting in this is spectacular. Not his best work, but definitely in the top three, and I didn't even finish this. Some stuff about Joss had come out whilst this was airing. He was basically following a bunch of right-wing politicians, which felt incredibly weird for the role in which he plays in the BL world. I think he has since unfollowed most of them, but it definitely stained his image for me. Not enough to not watch his work, but enough to never (probably never) praise anything he's in.
Anyway, outside of that, I just can't. There's nothing in this that is keeping me here. I don't care for the plot, I don't care about the outcome, and they've kissed enough, so I get the memo.
Ratings:
Story: 4/10 - Just not my cup of tea. I think the first episode does have great set up, but there was nothing keeping me engaged.
Acting: 8/10 - Gawin was doing incredible! I'm sure he keep doing better throughout. Also, MOND.
Music: 5/10 - I didn't pay it any attention.
Recommendation Value: 2/10 - If you like corny vampire stories, sure. Also, there is one scene where Joss is shirtless coming out of the water if that helps.
