I absolutely love and shipped Ahn Jae Hyon and Goo Hye Sun in this, they're character's connection is so strong that they even married IRL. c:
It may be a slow moving series, mostly because there are 20 1-hour episodes, but I was still truly satisfied with this series, and you will not be let down. That's all I'm gonna say. ;)
Let the sleepless nights begin... c;

Until episode five, I was understanding the process and enjoying it a little beat, even with the lame effects, but, after that, I just was frustrated. The premise to turn the vampire theme into a scientific theme was interesting to me, but they didn't know how to put this on the script. It was too much unnecessary information and this made the story get boring. The outcome was also unlogic, to say with kindness. Nothing, in the end, makes sense to me, especially al the twists that we have (no spoilers). I felt like anything happened until episode 14, and then BOOM. The writers just got crazy and incorporate Tarantino.
The characters were also pretty superficial. I love Ahn Jae Hyun, but Park Ji Sang was a terrible role. I understand the vampire vibe, with introspection and toughness, but for me, he was just unbearable. The feelings for Yoo Ri Ta (Gu Hye Seon) showed up from nowhere and didn't convince me. I know about the past and the connection with this, but it was not enough to make a good bond. They were cute together, but the script wasn't in their favor. About Yoo Ri Ta, I like her personality, but since Ji Sang was so tasteless, she was fade out into the mess of the information and terrible relations established between everyone. I won't even talk about Jung Hae In's character because this pissed me off. The only character for me that made an excellent job was the director Lee Jae Wook (Ji Jin Hee). This villain made me crazy in anger, and I think that this is the job of a good villain. His end was also ridiculous considering his journey, but this happened with everyone because was a ridiculous end.
I think that this is my lowest note since I started to write this kind of review, but... For me, it was a wasting of time (★ ★ ). I saw a lot of bad reviews here, but I saw a few with high scores... I don't know how this can be, but this shows to me that nothing is definitive, including my opinion. I'm just exposing my point of view, but maybe you could have another opinion about it. If you didn't watch it, and you think that your taste seems like mine, keep it that way. But if you want to confirm, go ahead.
See you soon!
XOXO, Mari.

I have so much to say about this!!!
I started watching this besides the fact it was on Netflix because the plot seemed intriquing and different. Like vampire as a surgeon?? (What could possibly go wrong?) Firstly I was sincerely surprised how they involved so many discussions about medicine and its dilemmas. I wonder if its legit because it had very complicated vocabulary about medicine, average viewer wouldn't understand if its all crap. Although first episodes where great, it got worse every episode. Ending was very much rushed and left you with many questions. I felt like they wanted to leave option for second season open.
Now the main reason I even write this review is because of the chemistry between two main leads. ( I have never seen them play in kdramas so I went to watch with no expectations.) I was just so shook because there was none. The girl tried so hard for their relationship to work, was always the one watching him sleep and I saw she had feelings but the guy wasn't interested at all, like even when he knew the girl was in danger he had to go and get his revenge AND most of the times failed miserably, only succeeded when his friends gave him something to anger the director. I felt like from Park Ji Sang's side it was more about revenge and the girl he imagined to be his "true love" was meant to fail the second he saw her again for the first time. Sometimes he looked at her as if she was his enemy too which was so weird and funny to watch. In fact everytime it was physically painful to watch as they spent all those nights together and said how much they cared about each other but then just weakly hugged, even his best friend had better romance in my opinion. Main leads always kept their distance and called each other formally as doctor... you don't call the person you love by their profession. So why all this is hard for me to understand is because they started dating and even tied the knot in real life, why didn't I see any chemistry in the drama??
The reason I gave it 6/10 was because I thought the plot idea they had was great and some of the acting by the infected was very creepy!! Also demon/vampire director saved the day, such an evil character, he really had no limits.
To end this long review, it really depends individually, whether you love it or hate it. One thing for sure, if you are looking for romantic kdrama, stay away from this.

I really love it but.....(Major spoiler don't continue)
I like the concept and the fight scenes. Story was progressing good. And what I love the most is the main couple, I love their chemistry, the cold guy and a girl with attitude. Both of them are smart and they really look good together. However the story is good and they build the tension, but has an unsatisfying resolution. They suffered for 19 episodes and the villain didn't even got a deserving punishment, he didn't repent or anything. A lot of character died but nothing got resolved. No explanation about the ending why is it like that? And what it is that they discovered? Is he still alive? Whats gonna happen next? It should be open ending I guess but it doesn't make any sense. 19 episodes is good I really love the scenes but the ending was not, it ruined everything.Was this review helpful to you?
From there was tons of talking between Park and Jae Wook, but almost no fight.
Total lacking of Vampiric thirst stuff
And Ri Ta (In my opinion) was very, very annoying and a total useless character, there wasn't "love" at all between those too.
For me Park saw her as his little sister who was getting forcefully-annoyingly into HIS problems and who he got (again, forced) to protect, and nothing more.

-The drama had a good start with everything, but then things got out of place and boring
-About the cast...hm...I'm a fan of Ahn Jae Hyun, to be honest, physically he looks like a vampire, but his acting kind of failed...the same with Gu Hye Seon, I really loved her in "Boys over Flowers" but I don't think this role fit her, but I'm happy that they got married, because they had a great chemistry in the drama and they look cute together.
-The bad ost....
-The disappointing ending! I can't even understand if it was supposed to make me happy. The writer really didn't care about how to make an ending, he was like "Let's not give a shit and put the end like this". I need explanations!!!
-Overall, I can say, this drama was a waste of time. Bye bye my sweet 20 hours...

The story is mediocre, with multiple cliches but for some reason, I couldn't personally stop watching it. It does have unexpected twists and turns, and the overall concept of the story is a fresher image to vampirism that I've seen presented in dramas. The acting is minimal, some parts showing amazing acting while others reveal this lack of good acting you'd expect in a way. It's more of a drama where you have to see past the faults of the story, casting, and other variables to enjoy. I mainly continued watching just to finish and end the story that I had begun watching. If you're up to see why this drama is so bad and so good (?) at the same time, I would recommend it. It's an odd thing to enjoy almost, where you know some parts you don't like, such as the acting, yet it's got that drama appeal where you wanna continue watching. Again, Blood isn't the BEST drama I've watched, but I've honestly seen worst.
Side Note: The main female lead will make you want to punch yourself in the face every now and then with her acting, but the eye candy of the main and second male leads will help you overcome the urges to stop watching in my honest opinion.

I love the fact they took a different approach with vampires. They didn't go with the stereotypical vampire and decided to show a different side to how vampires came to exist. Everything is medical based instead and I think that was a cool idea.
I will say the show did slow down a bit in the middle though. It was really good at first, then it became a little repetitive in the middle, and then back to good at the end. The middle of the series did have some good surprises though so definitely watch through the whole thing.
The ending had me all over the place so get ready for that!
I'd watch this again but I'd probably skip through some of middle episodes.

Story:
Park Ji Sang was born with a virus that lowers his body temperature and makes him crave blood - commonly known a vampire. However, this virus is not known to the world and there are only a few infected people. He works as a doctor and dedicates his life to healing people instead of killing them. At the new hospital he meets Yoo Ri Ta, ab aspiring doctor who is also part of the family that owns the hospital, and also closely connected to Ji Sang's past. Enter Lee Jae Wook, the new director of the hospital, also infected with the vampire virus and connected to Ji Sang in certain ways. For more, watch it yourself.
However, don't expect a love story, or a doctor's drama or a fantasy story. At least, not completely. That's also where I see the huge disadvantage of this drama. It wants to be so much, but is nothing completely in the end. There are some, actually very few, romantic scenes. I had wished for so much more!! There is a whole lot medical storytelling going on, with medical terms being thrown around, like they were talking about what to eat for lunch. Quite annoying and seemingly only there, so there is at least SOMETHING. The storyline that really got me was the one with Jung Hae In's character. I would have loved for the drama to evolve around him and his story instead!
Acting/Cast:
The acting was okay. Nothing overwhelmingly great, but not too bad either. I always find it hard to review the acting and cast when I already don’t like the story much. Let’s just say they acted how they were supposed to, however the roles were just shitty.
Music:
Was there any special music? Don’t think so. It was okay, nothing very annoying.
Rewatch Value:
To say it in my bias’ words: NO! (sry for the reference to Tae xD)
Overall:
So the story was all over the place, the characters weren’t very well developed, and overall the drama was too long! 16 episodes would have been more than enough for this story! Just watch if you have really NOTHING else to do!
