meaning in a meaningless existence
I love this show so much, my lord. I would recommend it 100%. I ended up giving this a 9 out of 10. I think that this show was fantastic, and I finished it so long ago, I am just so lazy and forget to write reviews. So y'all know the drill, what I liked, what I didn't like, a little overview, and then my final thoughts. So yeah, let's get into it (peep spoiler time lmao).I thought the plot of this show started off okay, and then it got really good. I enjoyed how they developed the show more and more as the episodes continued. The characters from the start were fantastic, especially all my vampires, immaculate casting, because god damn. The movements, the acting, the weird twilight vibe to it, I loved it. So this is the first thing that I have seen Joss in, and he and those sleepy eyes lured me all the way in. I think that his acting is good, and it was fantastic whenever he had to play the "vampire" part. Specifically, anytime that Tong's blood or sweat came into play, he got so into that, and it was truly great. On the other hand, I think that Gawain did an amazing job as well, but I also love him so much, no matter what he does. Tong's whole character had the most development, and my husband did a good job playing the "innocent character." What else? I liked their chemistry; it felt very mature and was very nice to watch. THOSE SEX SCENES. OH MY LORD. THAT WAS AMAZING. The lightning, the music, everything. Yeah, I might just be a big fan of vampire shit, but I had a lot of fun watching this, and I am rewatching right now. Also, I want to highlight the end of episode 8, that sex scene marked the change in their dynamic. It went from predator and prey to predator and "and what?" What that means is that it went from being hunted and scared to kind of like a playful dynamic, and I messed with this. The way Tong forced Mark to face the blood so they could continue having sex and also their relationship, was so HOTTTT and fantastic. Yeah, I also liked Mond's character, especially towards the end. Like he was never a good guy and they didn't even try to make him one lmao. I liked the end and how the cycle continued; that was fantastic and a great way to do it. There's probably more, but that is all for now.
What I did not like. Well, I did enjoy the ending of them living together for the rest of eternity, but I did not like THAT THEY FUCKING KILLED EVERYONE. Like tonkla gets clapped by Nakan, and then Tara died, the flower lady, and then Nakan, all in a 20-minute span. My lord, they did not need to do that. Miserable. I also did not like Tonkla's character. I think that he was such a fucking opposition the ENTIRE TIME. Like, there's a reason Tong did not tell you ANYTHING you are out to get him. I enjoyed the golden aspect a lot, but that got so cringe in some parts, and it made me want to die. Also, the plot for the first 4-ish episodes. I don't want to be that person, but it's my marker, everything before their kiss scene and their first sex scene was ass. ASS I TELL YOU. I understand they were trying to set everything up, but it was so unbelievably boring, I had to stop watching this shit. But it got better, but tough watch at first. THE SINGING FUCKK NOOOO. G, we know you can sing, but fuck off, it was in such random parts that it made it unbearable. Also, the fact that Mark has been protecting Tong since he was a baby was also kind of weird, but that's fine. Yeah, I think that's all.
OVERVIEW TIMEEEE. The fact that when he bleeds, he gets hunted is geniuely mortifying. Pretty good setup at first. The good vampire bad vampire shit was like Twilight lmao. Took me so long to finish/write this review. I started in high school, and now I am writing the review in college. Scary stuff. The casting was great. This show was also pretty fun in parts, and it was good. Tong is a dumb ass. "I would follow Joss to the ends of the earth, bro." Pride and Prejudice reference was PEAK. Tomato juice. "I [would] watch out for those neck kisses because he's a fucking vampire, you dumb shit, clearly, bro did not have his brain screwed on tight." JERK OFF SCENE WAS CRAZYYYYY. I was like Why does he keep cutting him when they kiss? IT'S BECAUSE HIS SALVIA MAKES HIS TEETH COME OUT, STUPIDDDD. G's eyelashes are so sexy. "[G] eyelashes are the most distracting thing in the whole show behind his sexy abs and Joss's abs." KLA GOT CLAPPED AND MOND HAS THE SEXIEST FACE EVER. A 10/10 twist from this show because I lowkey didn't expect it. "A couple of years versus an eternity, and those couple of years changed his eternity forever." Good ending.
Okay, and yeah. I think this was overall a good show with some flaws, but I am on my 3rd rewatch, so that should tell you everything that you need to know lmao. Okay bye!

BLOOD
My Golden Blood is a vampiric BL fantasy that’s campy, sensual, and irresistibly melodramatic—packed with intense chemistry between Joss Way-ar (Mark) and Fluke Gawin Caskey (Tong), layered with supernatural intrigue and just enough humor to lighten the gothic tension.Mark, a 200-year-old vampire heir, discovers Tong—a naive, rare “golden blood” individual whose scent attracts vampires. He protects him from rivals (including cousin Nakan), battling his own bloodlust while their bond deepens. A standout twist: Tong, thought to have hemophilia, learns his blood is coveted—and he becomes strong and confident through Mark’s protection
If you're here for sizzling supernatural romance, dramatic flair, and unapologetic fanservice—My Golden Blood delivers in droves. It’s over-the-top, sexy, and sometimes cheesy, but driven by superb lead performances and heartfelt emotion. Ignore the CGI quibbles (unless you're a perfectionist) and let yourself be swept up in this gothic BL romp.

give it a chance
Don’t let the overall low score and bad reviews keep you from trying this. It is so good. The chemistry is off the charts. And while the story feels familiar, there were several moments where plot twists had me gasping. I laughed, I swooned, I cried rivers. We’re there bad effects and things left unexplained? Yeah. Do I care? No. Because I was entertained. Did it take way too long (almost the whole series) to explain the significance of Tong turning 21, after mentioning that they just had to wait for him to turn 21 every 5 seconds? Just for them to not wait til he turned 21? YES! Do I care? maybe a little. BUT those ending plot twists man! Didn’t see them coming. maybe I should have. But I didn’t. And I’m glad.Was this review helpful to you?
A Vampire Romance That Sinks Its Teeth In Deep!
I just finished all 12 episodes of My Golden Blood (2025) and I have to say—it was such an entertaining and memorable ride. I gave it a solid 9/10 for its unique concept, strong chemistry between the leads, and a fresh take on the supernatural BL genre.🩷 What I Loved:
All the NC scenes were hot and steamy 🔥—Mark (Joss) and Tong (Fluke) had amazing chemistry. Every kiss and intimate moment was filled with tension and passion 💋.
Both actors were not only talented, but also tall, handsome, and visually stunning. Serious eye candy all around 😍.
Loved the English OST 🎶—emotional, catchy, and perfectly placed.
The university campus setting was probably the most modern and high-tech I’ve seen in any Thai BL 🏫💡—really added to the production value.
🧩 Room for Improvement:
The ending felt a little rushed—I wish they had spent more time wrapping things up emotionally .
Some of the fight scenes were a bit underwhelming compared to Korean or Western standards ⚔️—could’ve used more impact and polish.
I was really hoping Tong would turn into a vampire after Mark bit him 🧛♂️💉—and then they’d have a wild, passionate love scene 😅. That didn’t happen, but I’m holding out hope for a special episode!
✨ Final Thoughts:
Despite a few minor flaws, My Golden Blood really impressed me. It blends romance, fantasy, and suspense in a way that feels fresh and addictive. With sizzling chemistry, striking visuals, and a touch of mystery, it’s definitely one of my top BLs of 2025 so far.
Rating: ⭐ 9/10
Rewatch Value: Yes! Especially the steamy scenes and sweet romantic moments

Brilliant
Absolutely gorgeous actors and acting...its very unique and not your typical BL. I love he cast and the originality of the story. Their is definitely the chemistry between the main actors and they act in sync. It was a binge watching for me as i found the story shows us there is more to us human beingsWas this review helpful to you?
Twilight in Thai Version but better then the original
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the voices comparing mgb to Twilight. I really had hopes for this bl that it would go for a less cuddly vampire portrayal than the previous vampire bl. This has largely materialised.Story: Rather mediocre until the inbuilt plot twist. I liked some of the character dynamics and would have liked more screentime from nakkan and kla for example. A second couple (especially ‘villain’ and friend and how the characters influence and develop each other) would have been good for the story. I didn't like how the plot twist was resolved at the end, it was rather clumsy.
Acting: The acting of the main characters was consistently good to very good.
I would like to emphasise the theme tune. A great song. And the harmony between JossGarwin is great, enhances everything again. Also, despite my disappointment (maybe my expectations were too high), I think this BL is worth seeing. It's a bit darker than the others in the genre, but not yet the way I like it. What is not yet can still be, I am eagerly awaiting ReVamp.

1I don’t even know what to say...
If I had 10 cents for every time I wanted to DNF this series, I'd have a thousand cents in my PayPal account!Sigh.
I feel some type of way…
I am disappointed.
Maybe it’s my mood?Maybe it’s work? Maybe it’s cause I’m thirsty?
I don’t even know.
This is like sitting down to eat the fruit salad I normally enjoy, but instead, I was served random ingredients mixed with cream and ice cream. I reluctantly ate it all because I knew my favorite fruits (strawberries) were in there somewhere, as long as I kept digging around for them.
I guess I should get to the series ha? Yeah, well that is something, and it can’t be denied that watching this is certainly an experience - Positive, negative, annoying, funny, stupid...somehow.
I’m waffling, thinking about fruit salad or whatever, but the truth is that I really don't have any strong opinions about this show. Mostly just bemused annoyances. I think I’m probably being too critical, because I didn’t even dislike this. Don’t get me wrong, it started well at first, but my enthusiasm quickly faded ( I want to listen to Faded...I'm faded, I'm faded. So lost, I'm faded, I'm faded.So lost, I'm faded).
Maybe I’m just annoyed because I thought the plot was doing one thing when actually just ended up doing another. I would say this was more of an romance serials sparkled with some very not hungry vampires.
I love vampire stories. I love romantic stories. I love vampires romantic stories. So, by the same logic, I should have liked show. If the universe was fair and rational, I would have loved it and given it ten stars. But it she is not fair.
But this series was not:
- funny
- scary
- compelling
- exciting
- populated by lovable characters (there was one and they killed him.)
It was:
- predictable
- the kind of clichés that feels like a trick
- centered the most boring one the romance I have ever watched
- sad yes, but mostly just exhausting
- this one was simply just too darn slow for me.
This is a sweet, hot, tiresome lengthy story.
Mark is basically a Rome god and Tong is basically Sleeping Beauty or something. OK, fine, one years ago, we all swoon for hot handsome engineers. Today, we swoon for hot vampire who have a personality and does not drink the golden blood.I guess my cynicism is showing.
Okay enought with the negative.
I'm a fan of the opening song. I love it. There is some sort of magic in this song. I am so obsessed with it. I could listen to it all day.
Тhis show just is not for me. But if this one has caught your eye, don't let my opinion sway you. So many people have loved this series and I’m just really sad I couldn’t. I started out expecting to love this story.
Final
The series started with a bang, but ended with a dang.Thank God it's over.

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.

My Golden Blood
My Golden Blood is sweet, fun, and full of feels. Gawin as Tong is absolutely lovable, and Joss plays the perfect quiet protector. Their chemistry is so natural it had me smiling the whole time and falling for them. The “golden blood” twist adds a light fantasy vibe without overcomplicating things. It’s a short series, but the emotional moments really land. Honestly, I wish it was longer — I already miss them 💛Was this review helpful to you?
the main couple has A LOT of chemistry
Tong, a young man who believes he has hemophilia, but actually possesses a rare and potent "golden blood" that vampires find irresistible. The series follows his encounter with Mark, a centuries-old vampire who is tasked with protecting Tong from other vampires who crave his blood. As they navigate the dangers and complexities of this supernatural world, their relationship evolves from a protector-protected dynamic to a romantic one. -The series is good. of course the cgi is not the best but i fell in love with the couple and just ignored that. the storyline is not bad either, i enjoyed watching the series, that was fun.Was this review helpful to you?
So in my opinion....
So in my opinion this show 10, 10 on all things story, cast, music and ofc romance. For people who are massive lovers of vampire romances and BLS this is 100% your series but if your here for the action of it ehhh I imagine that you would give it about a 5 to 4 star rating. It doesn't follow your typical vampire shows for sure in the sense that vampire are cruel, blood sucking monsters that bite without any shame or care. It's a very mellow, well balanced show in just about all things between comedy, tear jerkers and a dash of some spicy lip touching and bare skin moments! The story was captivating and the characters were interesting, some situations did have me clapping like seal cause I was so on edge my freakout meter was breaking and yea cliff hangers.... ah good old cliff hangers had me on edge just about every week and having to wait was agonizing. I feel like the ending completed very well and about how even I had expected it to end, so for me the ending didn't feel like it left anything out, maybe a tab bit longer so I could continue to eyeball the handsome Marks chest some more but eh I can just rewatch it.So my overall conclusion would be this, don't go in expecting this to be a super action packed ride, it's very heart warming, loving and in some places tragic but it's a very good romance to warm the hearts of those who just love to see two people being in love with a little life difficulties. Also music is totally going on my playlist. The music was so good.

It was truly beautiful to watch Mark start to discover feelings and emotions he’d never experienced before and see Tong grow and realize he was stronger than he ever imagined.
Joss and Gawin were such a pleasant surprise. Their chemistry is absolutely spot on. They feel so natural together that makes it effortless to believe in Mark and Tong’s relationship. Every scene flows smoothly, never feeling staged or awkward. Plus, both of them exude an insane amount of sensuality, and they mastered non-verbal communication like no one else.
The supporting cast was incredible, but I have to give special praise to Um Apasiri Nitibhon for her portrayal of K’Thara. She brought the perfect villain to life. And lastly, this series has one of the most stunning OSTs I’ve ever heard. It had me hooked from the start with its romantic opening theme, perfectly delivered by Gawin Caskey. But honestly, every song is beautiful, which is rare.
