good concept, bad execution
to be honest, this was one of my first kdramas. I liked it at first, but as I gradually grew my kdrama portfolio, I realized how severely lacking this drama was. I liked that the drama portrayed vampirism as a virus that could be cured, but the development between plot lines felt very stagnated and fragmented. I really did not understand the logistics behind everything, and a lot of scenes felt very filler. Our female lead is initially a cold and standoffish person, and so is our male lead. So why...did they end up together? Their chemistry felt non-existent and completely unnatural. This is one of the weakest dramas I've seen, with forgettable OSTs and meh casting and story...do skip this drama, there are so many others you can spend your time on instead.Was this review helpful to you?

Not a Keeper forMe
Okay so the hardest thing to say about this drama is, unless it had Ahn Jae-Hyeon and Gu Hye-Sun in it I probably would NOT have watched it past the first 5 episodes. I pretty much think it was completely wasted on their talents and the storyline was lacking. Did I appreciate the fact the writer made the vampires come from a virus instead of mythology - yes it was creative but that’s probably where the creativity stops. To see evil get more evil and people just dropping dead for the sake of it is a wasted story. No creativity in it.Rewatch value = I wouldn’t waste my 20 hrs of time on it thank you. Once was more than enough.

I'll say, just go watch it, It's worth it!
It was a very good drama. Unless for personal grudges with the actors and actresses, there's nothing much to hate on in this dramaMy favorite part in the story was how the writer presented the logic of vampires being infected by a virus and how that concept was religiously maintained throughout the drama that alone is gold point for the script writer.
I'm very much vexed at the finale, it almost or did rubbish the entire story. The writer ought to have calmed down and developed a breathtaking ending since he really did a good job with whole thing until the finale. The last part might have you ramming your head to the ground in frustration but a good drama nevertheless. I recommend a watch because you can't say no to seeing a kdrama at least once?

This review may contain spoilers
The tags, "Action, Comedy, Medical, Melodrama, Romance, Suspense, Vampire" might be tagged wrongly. This drama is not for someone who expects a lot of romance or comedy, it have some elements in the drama but it's not big enough to someone who wants to watch it for the romance or comedy factor. The Gu Hye Seon's portrayal of her character wasn't good, it was unstable. Despite problems here and there, I actually ENJOYED watching the drama. It was great for me, I finished the series in 2 days. I also liked how the antagonist is revealed quite early in the series unlike other dramas where protagonist reveals the antagonist and takes him/her down. But overall the drama has lots of flaws and un-stability. Lots of questions arises from the last episode but, true to one of the tags, the drama kept us at suspense.
I really quite enjoyed this show, it made me tear up at some part. Do give it a try especially if you enjoy mystery show, but don't try it if you don't like rushed or vague or ambiguous ending.
Although it's a slight spoiler after here, please don't continue reading it if you mind and dislike spoiler. Here goes~
I saw some synopsis and review of the last episode with questions like who or what or how(etc), did Ahn Jae Hyeon's character Park Ji Sang appear again? Is it his doppelganger (etc) or something? But isn't it because like what Doctor Jung said? That there's a possibility that Park Ji Sang can live without a heart. Well, there's many unknown factors and unstable part to the show, but, generally I quite enjoyed it.

DO YOU LIKE CRYING
This show is honestly hit or miss so I understand where people come form when they said they hate it or they like it. I'm not a huge fan of fantasy or supernatural but I thoroughly enjoyed this show, probably mainly because I like that they're a couple in real life but also because the chemistry was dope between the leads. The good people are really good and you grow to love them and the bad people are well really bad and you grow to hate them basically. A lot of the show is a little confusing but honestly, it's entertaining for the aspect of just watching it and also to let time pass by so honestly all in all, I liked the show. It was pretty worth it. It's cliche in the romance and throw back story but it's also cool with the whole vampire supernatural and antidote type stuff ya know. I liked it, see for yourself though. I bawled my eyes out in the end bruh.Was this review helpful to you?
