Golden Blood

Plot is predictable. Ending is predictable. The amount of plot holes is unfathomable. But I had to give it at least a 5 because of the Camp factor - even though that probably wasn't intentional. If you want to let your brain take a break and watch some of the most cringeworthy acting - this is a sure bet! I laughed through most of it. To the point of crying laughter! I watched the subbed version as I am American. You can definitely tell that A LOT is lost in translation. To the point of "Really?" I'm a fan of foreign BL series but I feel like this is time I will never get back and that I have been robbed.

You know, usually I complain that BLs tend to stretch a story into too many episodes, but Golden Blood was a BL that I really wanted to last longer. But the fact that so much happened in those 8 episodes, made it only more intense. What can I say? Loved it! The script was awesome (you THINK you know what happens next but there is always a surprise), I loved the main couple (wonderful chemistry!), I loved the secondary couple (can they get their own series, please?) and it was just the right amount of cheesy. Also, without spoiling anything, but here we have probably the nicest mafia boss ever having bossed on screen. A solid 8/10 from me. I subtracted two stars because of the sometimes ridiculous sound effects (thank God they became less the more the plot progressed), some blatant product placement (which, as I learned, has become the norm for Thai BLs) and some lengthy fight scenes (but I guess you cannot avoid that when a series is set in the mafia milieu).
