Sangmin-Dinneaw was pretty bad - but only from the 2nd half.

The first half was kinda cute and somewhat interesting,

But in the middle......I don't know what happened, but it changed a lot and not in a good way. It became gratuitous and gross, and there was a last minute sub-plot (sorta hinted at earlier in the series, but as a viewer I thought that it was just a tiny back story that was mentioned to establish some context, but NEVER thought it would be followed up on at ANY point in the story. Yet.....right at the last minute.....WHAM, there it was. )

Suffice to say things just got weird at the end and for me, at least, it completely ruined the entire series.

I ended up giving it an extremely low score.

It's Ch 5, near the bottom of page 6.
-------------------------------------------
Ahhhhh......Nevermind. I just read Ch 16. Wow.

Hey - I'm reading the novel right now, and it says the opposite.

I'm copying and pasting, here:

"Once Tong turns twenty-one, the power in his blood will fade on its own. At that point, neither Nakan nor anyone else will be able to exploit it anymore."

Thank you!

Where would I find the novel? I'm in the U.S.

I haven't read her books in decades, so my memory may be fuzzy. I just kinda sorta thought I remembered that kind of scene.

"I just don't get why Mark led Tong through the ghetto meat market only to end up at the safe-house!?"

Possibly to use the blood smell from the meat market as a cover in case any of the other vampires were following them?

Just a guess.

Didn't Anne Rice write about that in one of her books? Or am I not remembering that correctly?

So if Mark really wants to "protect" Tong, as he claimed, why did he say "I'll protect you until you're 21" ?? Meaning......once Tong turns 21, Mark will not protect him anymore?

Does that mean Mark is ALSO waiting until Tong turns 21, like the other vampires, so that he can drink Tong's blood when it's at its peak??

If yes, then that means Mark actually has an ulterior motive.

Is it possible we've been fooled, and it's actually Daon who is the original red flag here??? Did all the trouble start with HIM?

Did he pit Jaemin and Su Hyeon against each other??? (Buying perfume for and confessing to Su Hyeon in the letter, but also backhugging Jaemin and confessing to him, too?)

Is that why Daon said "I'm not as good a person as you think I am. I might only end up hurting you." to Seong Hyeon?

Ahhhh ok. Got it. Thank you.

Wow. I was reading about it over a year ago, and they're just now starting filming??

I didn't realize there was another poster. But at least they know the first one wasn't that great and changed it.

And yes, I'm definitely looking forward to Revamp the series, too. Is there a date for that one, yet?

The artwork is really bad, like 1980s "romance" novel covers.

And I haven't seen the trailer yet.

-------------------------------

EDIT - now I've seen the trailer, and I'm hopeful.

I've been wanting DARK vampire BLs, not comedies (which seem to be so common in the vampire BL category. UGH).

But the poster at the top of this page is really bad and makes it look like the series is going to be a comedy. PLEASE please please let that NOT be the case.

EDIT - now I've seen the trailer, and I'm hopeful.

There seems to be more at play than just her looks. It's like some kind of attraction they can't control. They're just drawn to her.

So far, the only male figure who did not suffer being around Mi Jeong was her Dad. He did die, but not because of any "witchiness" on her part. They lived together for years safely, while at the same time, other male figures around her were getting hurt / dying.

Her Dad didn't get hurt or die because of her, since he loved his daughter like a father and not as a romantic interest, and she loved him right back.

According to the list of criteria Dong Jin has worked out......if he's able to get her to love him, he will be safe.

But in order to protect any other men she encounters in her daily life, will she still have to lead a mostly secluded existence the way she is right now?

Or......if she's out in public but also with Dong Jin at the same time, will his presence negate any risk to others?

And will we get any sort of explanation for how she became a witch in the first place?

I like him a lot, and I agree with you. He really does portray an introvert so well.

Question:

WHYYYYYYY in so many Asian dramas (but espec K-dramas) do drivers not know how to use their brakes when they see someone standing or walking in the road??

Instead of slowing down or braking, it actually seems like they SPEED UP!!!

UPDATE 3-10-2025:

They used my synopsis! I hope people find it more helpful than the previous (incorrect) one someone else wrote.
