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.

My Golden Blood strikes the perfect balance of fantasy, heart, thrill and hotness. A brooding vampire learning to feel emotions and his courageous human falling in love, delivering both excitement and tender moments. Joss Wayar and Gawin Caskey are marvelous in these roles. Their chemistry is electric and addictive, turning every glance and touch into something magical. Joss's intense vibe pairs seamlessly with Gawin's tender yet bold energy and makes their love story a feast for eyes and soul.

The pacing, once it accelerates after first few episodes, keeps you hooked with a mix of suspense, romance, and clever twists. Beyond the fluff, it explores deeper themes like acceptance and sacrifice, and adds real weight in the second half of the show.

If you're a BL fan or just crave a well-acted romance with a supernatural flavor and gorgeous dudes, My Golden Blood is a must-see series. It's emotional, beautiful, and one of GmmTV's most fun and sexy shows - perfect for cozy evenings.

Ok, hear me out. Gotta say I was quite dubious at the beginning when they first announced the casting and also with the plot. I've been a twilight fan in my teenager years, so I felt I had kinda outgrown that trope? The whole "I can't resist your blood but I will force myself to, even if it physically pains me to even breathe the same air as you?" Frankly speaking I never understood how Edward and Bella managed when she was on her period- but that's besides the point. Sorry.

Aaanyway, I am loving it. Those two actually work together pretty well! They're funny and sexy and cute and the chemistry is THERE! And all the interviews material? Loving it !! And both of them being fluent enough so that we - as international fans - can participate without always needing to rely on subs! Great!!! Tanto amore dall'Italia 🇮🇹

Plot wise, I'm still kinda waiting for the drama to actually start, but I'm guessing it's due very very soon, but I'm loving how realistic it is - Mark being a vampire and their "intimacy" being a bit difficult and all. I liked that they didn't make it easy.

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.

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.
