Happy blood day!!! Meet the vampire who’s more humane than humans.

Glad I cared less about the poor reviews I have read and bothered myself to watch this drama. Anyway, we all have our own preferences for enjoyment.

Story: Another heartfelt story of love between an immortal vampire and a human being. The story focused on the quest of a vampire to turn himself into a human being to feel his heartbeat while loving someone. It was unintentionally ruined by a woman when he was awakened ahead of time from sleeping for a century and the turn of events led them to live together in a mansion previously owned by the vampire. They were feuding housemates at the start but became drawn to each other after a while.

The development of the plot was enough to keep me engaged at every turn. The elements of conflicts were interesting like a bite scar from the FL that would summon the ML whenever she was in danger, blood full of love could take away immortality, and blood from a half-vampire could cure a person from the curse of early death. I was slightly disappointed towards the latter part of the drama where the crises in the story were questionably resolved and like ended hazily. But I have my favorite scene, the love confession of the FL. It was a spontaneous poignant moment and deeply showed the very authentic emotion of someone who fell in love for the first time.

Acting/Cast: Everyone flaunted their individual performances according to their character’s objectives. This was the best of Ok Taec Yeon I have ever seen. He got me with those expressive skills of voice and emotional eyes. I can’t say that the chemistry between him and Won Ji An hit it off perfectly but it was rather special. I believed their pairing survived with charm on screen, and it has something to do with identifiable dialogues supported by nice directorial works.

This drama moved my heart, again with the concept of love that was always powerful to make a person capable of being selfless.
