The series is definitely filled with symbolism. Even their outfits can be interpreted literally to highlight the characters' qualities, or differently, as with Xia Liuyi, who wishes to maintain a facade of being a gangster leader despite hurting inside.

This reminds me of Wong Kar-wai's artistic color grading on his films. Very superb.

Acting is 10/10.

Production is 10/10

Cinematography 10/10

The emotional impact that the series can bring to those who resonate with the characters reminds me of the time when I watched Hong Kong gay films of the 1990's during the 2000's era. They left me wanting more. I felt I was being denied getting too deep with the characters. That's what I felt when I watched the last episode.

I really love that part when He Chusan rode a bus, studying, and then he noticed Xia Liuyi celebrating with his minions. He dropped his head so he wouldn't get noticed. But Liuyi still managed to glance and perceive his presence inside the bus, while he was in a celebratory mood. It was a subtle moment for them. That part is one of the most excellent cinematic segments of the series.

I love how the Chinese directors handle such scenes. No need for verbal interaction. But the gestures already speak high volumes.

I also initially felt the underwhelming reception of the last episode. But going through it again, I believe what makes it excellent is the emotional weight of the characters and the emotional impact they carry and resonate with the audience. It is not just between He Chusan and Xia Liuyi, but also with Xie Jia Hua and Lu Guangming.

Having read the novel, which is a masterpiece IMHO, I really believe it is an injustice if they don't get a season 2.

I started watching the series two days ago, and I'm liking the first two episodes. This reminded me of the manhwa I read around 2017-2019, Dakaichi, same time I got hooked on Solo Leveling. I also remember that I already watched the anime. But the Thai live version is different. I am more drawn to Boom's acting and charisma.

I need to resubscribe to WeTV so I can watch the rest of the episodes. But if you know other free platforms where I can watch the rest of the episodes, please share them. Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

It seems JossGawin is now under the close radar of GMMTV to be valued as a Golden/Power Couple.

Among the recent roster of Thai BL actors under GMMTV, which BL series have their final episodes shown in theatres?

It seems predictable. But what matters is the execution. For me, MGB actors delivered what was expected of them and then some.

Is My Golden Blood the only Thai BL series produced by GMMTV to have its final episode screened in a movie theatre?

This demonstrates the extreme popularity and commercial viability of the JossGawin couple in the Thai BL industry.

The last two episodes are surprising twists to the story. I love it. I love the acting. I love the pacing. And I also love how there are many surprises in store.

The skinship is a bonus. But the story turned out great for both Mark and Tong.

Instead of giving it a 7/10 rating as I initially wanted to for the ten episodes, the last two episodes changed my mind.

My Golden Blood is 9.5/10. I already submitted my review.

Idiot is triggered about the gaydar thing. If you have a problem with it, you can shut up. Pieces of evidence are on social media. Fans can think of them as fan service or whatever. But people can surely question their integrity if fans continue to disprove it.

Honestly, your action is typical of a homophobe.

I am aware of the professionalism Joss and Gawin have while playing the roles of Mark and Tong in MGB. You don't have to remind me about it.

But you seem to be clueless about many things, and you accuse me of making things up? LMAO

Have a life, idiot.

You came to my post, accusing me of not appreciating the actors when I clearly did in my post. However, your issue is the gaydar thing. That's what I think of them. JossGawin doesn't seem to have qualms about what people think of them. But fans like you are RIDICULOUS!

Haven't you read my comments here, idiot, about their acting?

I appreciate their acting and the series. You seem to have comprehension problems in reading my post. You need to recalibrate your brain.

But you also seem to be triggered about the gaydar thing. Are you the hidden gf of Joss or Gawin, that you are too adamant in defending their 'straightness'?

You also have the audacity to pass your delusion about your fantasy of the actors to me. LMAO

Hardcore fans are too hardwired to attack comments, even though there are pieces of evidence accessible on social media.

I have read that part about Joong. In their batch, though, I mostly like Pavel as he is a staunch supporter of LGBTQ.

another idiot who thinks gay actors can't play BL roles.

Yes. But he appeared in a queer movie before GMMTV BL roles and won an award for his role that is why he is valued.

Moreover, you have to make a distinction about a certain spectrum of sexuality.

Gays range from straight-acting to femme. What most BL fans want to see is two straight-acting men being in love. Hence, many straight-acting gay/bi/queer often have to remain ambiguous to keep the facade of being 'straight' or straight-acting for their fans.

Straight-acting, masculine gay men exist. There are a lot of them in the gay community.

Honestly, the issue is not with GMMTV. GMMTV is in Thailand, the most gay-friendly nation in Asia.

The issue is with the fans and the audience. Femme gays are categorized in a certain niche, meanwhile straight-acting gay/bi/queer actors can get the roles for they can play the fantasy of BL fans.

I agree with you that many female BL fans prefer watching two 'straight-acting' men making out.

But you might not have known Gun Atthaphan, one-half of GMMTV's Golden couple "OffGun".

Gun doesn't have to reveal his sexuality, though. He is what he is, though not as glittery as Earth.

If an actor or artist brings golden eggs to GMMTV, then the sexuality is irrelevant.

If your theory that GMMTV doesn't like gays that much, then my theory of GMMTV not being too keen on promoting MGB may be because of JG being....

If you have a sexual fantasy of being sandwiched by Joss and Gawin, that I don't care. Most female BL fans have that fantasy about BL actors.

As for having a problem with my gaydar about them, then you can SHUT THE HELL UP. I don't need your comment.

Idiot, I have been watching many BL dramas aside from MGB.

You seem to be defending their sexuality though as if being queer or gay is a sin. Just say you are a homophobe and GET LOST!

Thai people are more liberal since they have many ladyboys and have a very large gay community in Southeast Asia.

As for straight actors playing BL roles, there have been controversies about them being homophobes or being a diva when it comes to kissing their partners. This is exposed by a Thai director.

Hence, Thai BL production companies are now selective and perhaps, even might prefer gay/bi/queer actors after a controversy in the selection of actors to produce the first 2 Moons: the Series where the producers revealed they only hired straight actors. The series received backlash from the media and lots of controversy, even involving an actor.

Pavel and Joong's batch of actors were received well after 2 Moons 2, but their fame they didn't last despite the obvious presence of queer actors in that batch.

That's a bit of Thai BL history for you.

So far, the credit for revolutionizing Thai BL series involving passionate kisses, making out and simulated sex acts should go to Tul and Mew. They started that trend with What the Duck and TharnType (Mew) and Together With Me (Tul with Max). It so happens that Mew and Tul are the famous out actors in Thai BL and are now engaged to each other.

Pavel and Joong also help in the revolution with 2 Moons 2. Hence, Pavel's acting is well-received in Pit Babes, while Joong became more popular after he transferred to GMMTV and after being paired with Dunk.

It doesn't mean, though, that the Thai BL industry has stopped hiring straight actors to play BL. BrightWin, though short-lived, became extremely popular.

TayNew still retains their chemistry in Cherry Magic. Despite Newie having a gf, his sexuality seems to remain ambiguous, though, by default, he is straight.

Straight actors playing lead roles in Thai BL often go stiff during kissing scenes. They kiss so bad, even during intimate sessions. Many have already noticed it.
