So I came across this drama since it seemed dark and romantic at first glance, perfect for what kind of dramas I love! Gonna review it just 'cause. STORY- Very very average. Nothing special. Seen it before over a thousand times, in fact it kind of annoyed me in that because I've seen it so many times where this dark/vampire/demon guy wants to be a lord of his kind or try to stop someone else from being a lord. What mainly stuck me was that each episode was so short, so I was kinda like, "okay, this is a short story kind of thing, i'm curious to what happens." Overall the story was kind of bland, and at the end it didn't leave me with any pleasure whatsoever. It was predictable and not worth watching for the story at all. The ending was bad and unresolved. CHARACTERS- Again, very very average. Especially for the main male lead, Luis, this vampire/dark/bad boy kind of theme he has. I've seen this same kind of guy in a ton of Japanese manga's, so he's nothing really special, but he's still interesting and not painful to watch. He was very kind which is unusual for a story with vampires or mystic beings in general, they're always presented as rude assholes. I still felt the writers trying very hard with him though... he was definitely the focus of the drama and the writers knew he was eyecandy, so they took it to their advantage. The main female lead was so... SO boring. I don't even remember her name! She was painful to watch sometimes. I mean, she wasn't AWFUL, but it felt like the creators were trying WAY too hard to make her this "strong female character" and they failed... really bad. It just felt so forced and she pretty much felt like the nagging, independent second lead to the first female lead in a romantic comedy. Nothing was special about her, even though they tried to make her special. All the other characters are so incredibly stale and boring, I hated them and they are forgettable, I don't even remember their names or their personalities really, they were so boring. MUSIC/EFFECTS- The music was good. Beautiful at times. I'd listen to the music again or add it to a playlist. And the CGI was pretty good for a supernatural-type of K-drama. I've seen so much worse CGI for K-dramas. It wasn't the best but it was believable. ACTING- Bad. Not believable whatsoever. Not even Luis. I think the closest thing to "good acting" is the female lead's actress. WORTH A REWATCH?- No. Never. OVERALL- I mean, give it a watch if you like vampires and romance. It's only 10 minutes each episode (that's only an hour of time to watch the entire drama.) There's a CRAP ton of better romance dramas out there, but you do you if you think the atmosphere is interesting. The only saving grace and thing enjoyable about this drama is the romance and Luis, and even then it wasn't good. It gets to the point, sure, but I see that the writers took about 20 minutes to write the entire script and story and just added extra stuff here and there. It was worthless, I didn't cry from it or feel any emotions. Ever so often I'd be like "ha, cute" at the main couple but that's IT. I was never shocked, I was never delighted, literally sat in my bed watching this drama with a blank face on. This could actually be a good series if it had WAY better writers, acting, characters, and expanded on the story. MORE development. The story rushed and made it sound like the audience had been watching the drama for a long time. No. We didn't watch hardly anything of it. Sorry. So, you can do something better worth your time (hell, doing homework is more productive and enjoyable then watching this K-drama, in my opinion) or you can be like me, you don't care the episodes are short so you're watching it out of boredom and curiosity.
