As an ancient sage (iqiyi's tiktok profile) said “1% VAMPIRE 99% BOYFRIEND”
If you are looking for a vampire story I suggest you to change drama, because this tv series is about a love story with just a little sprinkling of vampires.
If you are a romantic like me, mentally prepare yourself to have to turn a blind eye to some plot choices (still shocked by the Eiffel Tower scene honestly, why?) and budget choices (it's no one's fault except our beloved gmmtv I guess). Without taking in account these details, I can assure you that Mark and Tong will make you fall in love with their love story!
STORY: having read the novel I have to say that I think there has been an improvement in the plot. I didn't like some of the characters' choices, but honestly I don't really care because I was too busy enjoying the chemistry between Joss and Gawin, who were stellar. At first I didn't think I would see scenes like this considering the presentation of the characters in the first episodes, but I really loved Mark's vulnerability and Tong's proactiveness.
ACTING/CAST: the best part of the drama along with the music. This is my first Joss's drama, but I'm actually a fan of Gawin from DBK and I had no doubts that I would like his acting. But I didn't think that I would love the partnership between Joss and Gawin so much. The scenes between them are just amazing. It's the little gestures and glances they exchanged as Mark and Tong that made me follow the drama from the first episode to the last. I could rewatch their scenes together over and over again
MUSIC: I've had the my golden blood OSTs in my personal playlist for like a month now and I listen to them all the time. Closer is my favorite, but when Ever After came out, I got really emotional. Bravi!!
REWATCH VALUE: for the plot not so much, but MarkTong conquered my heart with their love story, so I would gladly see them again.
OVERALL: EXCUSE ME WE'VE GOT BABYGIRL GAWIN, THIS IS A 100/10 FOR ME
In short if you like couples with amazing chemistry, Joss's abs (in every episodes! Wtf I hope he was paid well ahaha), Gawin's talent (as an actor and as a singer!) and excellent ost this drama is for you!
Personally, I really hope we can see another drama with these two actors as the leads, with a little more budget and a more engaging plot they can really create a masterpiece.
And when that happens I'll come back here to rewatch My Golden Blood to remember where it all began.
Thank you Mark, Tong (and Tonklaaaa) for the journey!
