As for casting and acting that was uhhh...cute is the only word that comes to mind. It's almost overly-cute and anime-like but still enjoyable. I didn't know any of the cast before watching this, and was satisfied with the acting I saw from them (mainly because it was cute).
Overall, I'd recommend this series to anyone who wants to watch a simple and short drama yet is not expecting much at the same time.

A Sugary Sweet Vampire Drama
RH Plus was a show filled with a level of sugar sweet high school tropes, which undeniably left more questions than answers by the ending of the drama. In the beginning of the drama, the show focuses upon Makoto moving into a new residence , revealing that everyone ( including himself ) are all secret vampires. Now, the one thing which I did always feel as though this show could’ve gone into more depth around is the existence of vampires outside of the mansion. Whilst the script writers did have the benefit of being able to focus upon the centralised lives of Makoto and the other residents, there were many elements from the pasts of the characters which felt disjointed within the show, particularly the secret revelation behind Makoto’s parentage and of course, the head, Kiyoi’s past as the oldest vampire well. The latter, ironically being a major part of the series, however, there was little reason or explanation as to why Makoto’s mother and father ended up together in the first place and of course, why both parents made their decisions in the plot as well which would of course influence Makoto’s mental state for a major proportion of the series. This leads us to the next biggest problem . The unanswered questions. Naturally, a show can go through never answering these questions for viewers, however, there was little actual indication towards a sense of emotional appeal or relatability with most of the characters. Not least is the parentage of Makoto never truly brought to light in the series or shown to actually affect Makoto after the revelation, but, there are also so many questions regarding Makoto ‘s abilities as well which didn’t feel disclosed for viewers. Similarly, it would have been just as intriguing to have known more about Kiyoi’s past especially his path to vampirism. This leads us to another big snag in the series. How are vampires created? Now, this more of a general nag than anything else, but it felt a little annoying as to the fact that none of the characters were exposed towards if they had been presumably human or vampires their entire lives. Presumably, they were human once from Kiyoi’s comments, however, this also would lead to the more moral questions such as the youngest Ageha, and how these characters dealt with the pain and heartbreak of having to leave their human lives behind, something which just was dealt with at all in a show about vampires.Was this review helpful to you?
So basically this is a short Japanese version of Vampire Diaries.
It revolves around 4 teenage vampires, they all live in a house together under the protection of there "guardian".
One of them is a newbie who has suffered from a traumatic past.. and the others help him through it.
Let me make one thing clear... don't go watch this with the hopes of bromance... ITS NOT.. it deals with brotherhood and family.
Personally I would recommend it, no spoilers but just so you can be comforted it does have a happy ending.
