Actors...: I think A-JAX boys did a VERY good job!They are not professional actors but they have potential!Main guy Luis was very cold you can say and vampire like.But i like the fact that even at the end he stayed like that he only add some cheedy lines.He showed his love with his body actions or gestures and the main girl got it and accept him how he is!The supporting actors were also very good, i love the two guys who played guards to his master and they kept loyal to him so that was sweet ^^...And now the frenemy as i call him Reika...Well lot of girls had i think hard time to choose on which side they will stand because Reika was damn handsome!He was evil and good..He was friend with Luis but...his relationship was i think weird...He wanted something so...he kind of used Luis?I don't want to spoil the fun so you must watch it!Anyway all characters were played well.The girl acted i think like i would in real life!At first she was afraid of vampires but than she relalized they are not bad!That's big plus because i hate when a girl screams ''HWAAAA HELP ME VAMPIREEEEE''...-.-..Like really?!
Music...:I think A-JAX was amazing and the music..hwaaaa just fit the mood!The lyrics were amazing and fit the drama completely!
Rewatching..?:YES!I rewatched it already 3 times and still i keep doing it because it's just so sweet and amazng that i wish i was in the girl's spot because who wouldn't?!!!!

The story is something from a homemade fanfiction. And actually I enjoyed it, because it is simple, easy to follow and fast paced. But it does lack some more background information, and the interaction between the 2 main leads coudl have been better. And I think they could have better made a movie about this and made the story longer, like a 2,5 hour movie. I really think that would have been better.
I found the acting stiff and at times it felt awkward. The music is mostly the same but I did like it.
I really did like this drama, but I did rated it low because I have to be honest; the quality of this story and everything isn't that great.
This drama is something for you if you like easy romance and fanfictions. It is easy to follow, got some romance and vampires (and that is always good imo, haha).

There are not many dramas that I would watch about maybe two or three tops but this would have to go there. It kind of makes me wish it was longer, but just long enough for it to tell some back story of the major characters in this series.
But all and all it was an amazing experience and I really enjoyed watching it.

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.

pedestre, tranne gli effetti speciali
fortunatamente è molto breve perché se fosse durato di più non credo sarei riuscita a finirlo. la storia è talmente trita e ritrita che sembra un omogeneizzato, tra l'altro ci lascia in sospeso in attesa di una seconda stagione che a questo punto spero non facciano mai. i cosiddetti colpi di scena sono qualcosa di penoso e non mi stupirei se in futuro ci venissero a raccontare che in realtà il fiore è la ragazza. gli attori sono pedestri, al punto che mi domando se siano effettivamente degli attori professionisti o gente presa dalla strada o dalle accademie al loro primo lavoro. inoltre gli attori non sono neanche particolarmente carini per cui neanche da questo punto di vista ci si salva. tra tutti quanti hanno una sola faccia: monolitica. l'espressione dei sentimenti, questa sconosciuta. assolutamente bocciato e sconsigliato. l'unica cosa che si salva sono gli effetti speciali, abbastanza carini per il genere e per il tipo di lavoro. aggiungiamoci che gran parte delle scene sono buie perché comunque stiamo parlando di un mondo di vampiri e quindi si presume che stiano in stanze buie candele e quant'altro insomma tutta l'ambientazione è abbastanza penosa e di cattivo gusto. terribile.Was this review helpful to you?

A very good vampire drama
Sorry to all the Twilight fans out there. But in my opinion: Vampires don't sparkle, they are not as pathetic as Edward and the girl is not as stupid as Bella. And this was NOT Twilight. It was a short sweet story. Too short in my opinion and I hope there is a second season out there. Still looking.The story was interesting. Most of the times I get bored with a drama very quickly because it has too many episodes, but I would have liked more of this. But on the other hand maybe it is good that it was short with no stupid side stories that you usually find in more episode dramas. It got straight to the point.
The special effects where really well done. That is one of the things that puts me off of supernatural dramas or movies. Especially vampire dramas. The movements of the vampires where very well done, showing their speed and strength with just the right amount of special effects.
The acting was also nicely done with the girl not being a pushover, a fact that I loved.
I liked the friendship "loyalty" between the characters even though it was too fast paced to show very much.
I do however feel that this must have been a manga with more to it, but haven't done my homework yet.
A really fast cute vampire romance when you are in the mood for something that doesn't drag on and on.
I gave it a very good rating but AGAIN would love for it to have been a liiitttlle bit longer.

+POSITIVES
- NEGATIVES
= SUMMARY
~ RECOMMENDED TO
+++++ POSITIVES +++++
+ The actors did very well during kiss scenes
------ NEGATIVES ------
- Because this drama only has 6 episodes and each episode is 12 min long, the story is weak, it has a lot of plot holes and it has an awkward pace. They could have worked on it more but I guess the budget wasn't enough. I'd say this has the story development of Dora the explorer.
- Out of all the characters, only one has a past and a back story. It will not go into detail or make you feel sentimental. It's just there so that the male lead would seem more romantic.
- The actors are all very bad. I've seen some of them in other dramas where they do a much better job, so in this one, I will not give them any positive feedback on their acting. It was very awkward and uncomfortable to watch.
- This drama has ONE song on it's OST which only fits into the scenes where the characters are happy. So after watching an entire episode without a soundtrack, it really doesn't fit in when they suddenly play that song.
- The script was very awkward and didn't really make sense. Except for the dialogue being unnatural, the characters actions and the events that were happening were sometimes very random and lacked motive or logic.
- All the character relationships lacked chemistry. This is because of the fast pace of the drama. You don't get any information on how they met, they don't get any moments together that you can think back on to understand their relationship, and you never get a clear explanation of how they all go together. Suddenly they're just a couple. Or suddenly she didn't feel so alone and was happy. Sadly that was explained through words and never actually shown in the show which makes it hard to believe.
===== SUMMARY =====
I don't have anything good to say about this drama. The characters weren't developed and they were hollow. Only one of them had a backstory and it wasn't really that worked out. The dialogues were weird and so were the characters actions. The general pace was extremely speedy which made the show illogical and less believable. It doesn't reach out to it's audience on a emotional level and it has the story development of Dora the explorer. No details, no emotions, no development, no back stories, no relationships, no friendships, it was just a hollow series of events.
~~~~~ RECOMMENDED TO ~~~~~
If you are an A -JAX fan or think the boys are really pretty then watch it. If you like vampires on top of that then you're in luck. If you used to watch Dora the explorer in your youth or if you still watch it, this is your cheese right here!!
other wise, don't watch it. You will not be able to appreciate its simplicity ^^
ENJOY!!

Too short for this story
Okay, I'll try not to be much negative. The story wouldn't be that bad, but I would prefer longer episodes. I just needed more time to accept what's happening. I think that it could be good drama If they would show more details. I wasn't able to start liking main roles because everything happend too fast. Short dramas can work, but this didn't. Films about vampires, I think that vampires genre Hollywood can make better and South Korea should just let it be as it is. Unfortunately I must say that this is wasting with not that bad story. But still, you can watch this drama. It's just 60 minutes of your life. So you can make your own opinion.Was this review helpful to you?
