My Golden Blood

Rule one for a boy with a rare blood type: stay away from sharp objects. Rule two: stay away from the two hundred year old vampire who keeps turning up at your workplace. Tong breaks both in a single evening. My Golden Blood (เลือดนายลมหายใจฉัน, Lueat Nai Lom Haichai Chan) is a GMMTV fantasy romance about a human whose blood is the most tempting thing in the vampire world, and the immortal who decides to guard it.

Tong and his best friend Tonkla grew up in the same orphanage, and they leave it together for a fresh start in Bangkok. All his life Tong has been warned that his bleeding never stops, so anything risky is off limits. He sneaks into a waiter shift at a glamorous event anyway, standing in for Tonkla. The host is Mark, heir of the Amarittrakul clan, a man who acts as if he has known Tong for years.

One small accident and one drop of blood later, the room changes. Tong's blood is what vampires call golden blood, and its scent wakes a hunger in every one of them, including Nakan, another Amarittrakul heir who wants it for himself. Mark explains the hidden vampire world and insists the two of them live under one roof for Tong's safety. Tong, who has just learned that monsters are real, is not thrilled about sharing a flat with one.

What follows is a slow negotiation between trust and appetite. Mark follows Tong to university, tries to keep his distance, and fails. Clan politics close in, Thara, who leads the clan, has plans of her own, and Mark has to fight his own instinct as hard as he fights the vampires circling Tong. The question running under all twelve episodes is simple and very old: can love survive when one partner is forever and the other is not?
