My Golden Blood

My Golden Blood tells the story of Tong, a 20-year-old who believes he has hemophilia, but in truth, possesses a rare and powerful golden blood, irresistible to vampires. While Mark is a 200-year-old vampire assigned to protect and care for Tong.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the series, it was engaging and well-paced. However, the rest of the episodes became somewhat uneven. Some scenes dragged, while others remained captivating enough to keep me watching. What really held my interest was the curiosity about how things would unfold. The pacing overall was decent, especially in terms of the characters realizing their feelings; it didn't feel overly drawn out.

The romance between Mark and Tong felt natural, with undeniable chemistry between them. Their kisses and intimate scenes were realistic and never felt forced. The acting was solid across the board. Joss was perfectly cast as Mark: handsome, sexy, mysterious, and stoic. He absolutely understood the assignment. Fluke, as Tong, embodied the role of a naive, kind-hearted, and cheerful young man with sincerity and warmth.

As for the twist involving Thara, I saw it coming. She gave off shady vibes from the beginning, so her reveal as the villain wasn't surprising.

Supporting Characters:

Tonkla - Tong's best friend, almost like a brother. He's supportive and protective, though initially unaware of Tong's blood and the vampire world. Eventually, his close bond with Tong pulls him into the chaos, adding another emotional layer to the story.

Nakan - A 250-year-old vampire and Mark's relative. Striking, charismatic and powerful, he initially comes off as a manipulative antagonist, especially through his control over Tonkla. But later, he sides with Mark and Tong, revealing deeper motives. His desire to take down Thara stems from a personal vendetta, she killed his best friend, who also had golden blood.

Thara - The authoritative leader of the vampires. She's manipulative, deceptive, and ultimately driven by greed. While she hides behind a calm, commanding facade, her obsession with golden blood and using it for her own gain, especially as a cure when she's sick exposes her true nature.

Technical Aspects:

The cinematography was visually appealing, with atmospheric tones that suited the vampire theme well. The OST deserves special praise, absolutely chef's kiss. The music enhanced the emotional beats of the story beautifully. Kudos to the team for creating such memorable tracks.

Final Thoughts:

The series started strong with a promising premise and solid emotional core. However, the latter half suffered from weaker writing. Some scenes felt like filler and there were noticeable plot holes that could have been tightened up. That said, I still enjoyed My Golden Blood for what it was, a supernatural romance with intriguing characters, good chemistry, and standout performances. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth a watch, especially for fans of the vampire BL genre.

Oh dear Joss and Gawin are such amazing actors. Listen The Chemistry is insane! They make everything look special and lovely. They really are too good. I have to say that at first I wasnt enjoing the serie too much, first episodes werent really my fav but after ep.5 i swear THAT'sIT. Magical. This is without a doubt my top bl serie... and it's still airing i cant wait to watch next ep. You have to trust the process. Im so proud of them i wish they can act together for many more projects cos they really are the perfect duo.

Wish there would be more european fans i'd love to get new JG friends 🌸

First of all, I've watched all the BLs that are currently trending on Twitter, and this one is by far my absolute favorite. My heart has been broken too many times by other dramas.

This drama is pure comfort: beautiful to watch - and that goes especially for the two main actors and the scenic settings. Forget about bloody, monstrous vampire dramas: here, the focus is more on feeling rather than feeding. It's absolutely beautiful to witness how Mark and Tong dive into this profound, almost classically romantic relationship.

There's just the right amount of drama to keep things from getting boring. But then you quickly get to watch Joss and Gawin as they grow to trust each other more and more, and the love between these two men - who clearly share a strong bond even in real life - flows into Tong and Mark so naturally that it doesn't even feel like a series anymore, but something truly real.

It's a wonderful experience to have the honor of witnessing every Wednesday. I love it. It's almost overwhelming for me. May it become hugely successful!

The story,actors,music,direction everything was put together so well it became Perfect.

MGB nailed with casting Joss Gawin as Mark Tong. Their natural chemistry,acting makes every scene more intense,memorable. I've never seen such an understanding,chemistry that comes naturally between two actors and that's what JossGawin are. Some scenes that showcase their love will make you realise that there has been no precedent of such love scene between two characters. It's picture perfect for me. Storywise it's different from your normal vamp stories. Mark being a vampire gradually becomes more humane with Tong. Mark starts to feel things that he couldn't in his 200 years of lifetime and thus begins their story. No story is a jolly good ride nor is this one. MarkTong face hurdles with other vamps, friends but their bond of love keeps them stronger together and has them fight for their Ever After. There are scenes which could've been made/written better but every MarkTong scenes was perfect for me so I'm pushing them aside and give it a 10⭐, cause MarkTong love story deserve all the love.

My Golden Blood isn't the kind of series that'll blow your mind, but it's still a fun ride if you don't go in expecting too much. The overall plot is pretty easy to predict, and it follows the usual bl formula without many risks. That said, I really liked the core idea behind the series. Still, there were a few moments that caught me off guard in a good way, which kept me watching.

What truly stood out and, honestly, what made the experience unforgettable was the special effects editing in the first and final episodes. I'm talking next level, low budget, green screen fever dream energy. It was so unexpected and over the top that it became a highlight in its own it was so bad it was perfect.

It might not be flawless, but it's definitely worth watching ,just don't go in expecting anything groundbreaking. It's a pretty standard, predictable series, but the main couple had decent chemistry and carried the story well. If you're in the mood for something simple with a few moments that don't go exactly how you'd expect, My Golden Blood delivers just that.
