The Drama That Went From Fantasy Fun to Melodramatic Mess: Taecyeon Deserves Better!

Never had there been such a letdown from deceptive marketing. Before its release, the drama was hyped as a fun, fantasy romantic comedy starring 2PM's Taecyeon. Fans, familiar with Taec's quirky and entertaining persona, thought this role was tailor-made for him. The first few episodes met expectations, but the series quickly lost its charm. It became mired in repetitive, dull plotlines. The worst part? It took a sharp turn into a melodramatic mess. I found myself asking, "What am I watching? What is happening?"

Did the studio suddenly pull the funding? Did the writer vanish? Even the production value plummeted. The latter half of the drama was confined to a mansion-turned-B&B, a setting more suited to a daytime soap opera. The only redeeming aspect of the second part was the vampire gang—they were amusing, supportive, and loyal to the male lead. Beyond that, it was a chaotic mess.

Taec, you deserve better than this. Please be more selective with your future projects.
