Even with all the shameless, very obvious rip-offs from other teen rom-coms, and the overall predictability of the story, I have to say this was thoroughly enjoyable. I'm wondering if it's just because I was so bored and badly craving some/any drama, or whether there's more to it. So, to the point: The cast was, I think, very solid. Everyone seemed to fit their roles which made the characters believable and nice to watch. Tang Danson is a beautiful man, and he does have sometime of the vampire in him. The character of George was the one I empathized with the most by the end, though - he was funny, quirky, and his plight of not being able to feel human emotions (while at the same time caring very much for Roy), was an enjoyable side story. That said, the plot was a carbon copy of arrogant hot rich dude/vampire meets poor girl soulmate stories, except perhaps a bit more lighthearted, and funnily enough with less focus on the villain (one would think that vampires provide much more fodder for conflict and having genuinely evil guys, as opposed to the upper management of successful companies - seemingly not the case). That makes his appearance in the end of the show completely random and to be honest, it left a very bitter taste in my mouth. Had it not been for the last minute or so of the show, it would've gotten a higher mark, but as it depended on predictability for most of its 9 episodes, the shenanigan from the end was completely unnecessary and disrespectful to the viewer. But, I'd still recommend to watch it and judge for yourself. It has provided me with half an evening + morning of pleasant leisure, nothing too smart or awesome, but still enjoyable.
