Unique plot involving vampires with a historical twist with a pretty much let down characters

This has been certainly a series that I unexpectedly love and hate at the same time. The concept of the plot is definitely intriguing — the coexistence of humans and vampire, the history of how it started, the reincarnation, etc. There was definitely a lot going on for this 12-episode series.

One issue for me though is that both lead characters annoys the hell out of me while watching the series. Don't get me wrong though, I am pertaining to the fictional character themselves and NOT the actors. The acting of the cast was quite decent for me although I really felt that Lee JongHyun had the most impact. My problem with the lead characters is that I felt like they were poorly written.

ML hates vampires for illogical reason. I felt like he was being immature with no enough reason to. He was a smart guy but most of the time he just looks like an idiot to me. His ridiculous hatred actually caused most of the problems in this series.

FL on the other hand kept being naive and keep coming back to the ML who does nothing but hurt her feelings and is being asshole because of his inexplicable hatred towards vampire.

It was a whole headache. I almost dropped this halfway but I didn't because this is my second time watching it after more than 5 years. I probably liked this more when I was a bit younger. Stupid puppy love that doesn't make sense excites me before but now I've become picky and unrealistic stories makes me cringe.

I love the OST eversince I've first heard it few years ago. If you're an enthusiast of unique plots, I recommend this.
