Stylish, short, okay.

“Bite Sisters” is about three hot vampire ladies who are not sisters. Two of them run an expensive designer fashion boutique and the third is a workaholic who works at a design/art company.

❝At some moment, when even the unique temperament that flows deeply inside comes out, it eventually makes them have no choice but to bite.❞

In terms of story, Bite Sisters was boring and predictable but mostly just boring. It starts out with the fabulous vampires in 1921 Korea and transitions smoothly into present day Seoul. While there are three of them, the episodes concentrate on Han Yi Na played by Kang Han Na. The other two sisters feature in all episodes but are side characters for the most of it.

Han Yi Na is shown to be a person who cannot stand injustice as shown in the opening. The latter half of the show concentrates on how she steps in to protect a child and her mother from an abusive father. Don’t expect too much depth from this part of the story though cause you won't find it. To be honest I probably wouldn't even have noticed that Han Yi Na is a champion of justice unless it was mentioned in the synopsis itself. The story was all over the place and while grappling with the romance plot, Han Yi Na’s character arc didn’t get much focus.

❝I don’t want to put you through my death.❞

Now, the romance. It was sweet and sad. The main lead is as dumb as Bella Swan in Twilight but the romance was better here (obviously). It didn't get much time to develop but as viewers, we get all the essentials of it. How Sungmin was struck by Han Yi Na’s beauty when he first saw her 100 years ago and how he is drawn to her again in his second life. A really well done take on the romance between a mortal and an immortal.

The best part about this show were the production values. Since MDL doesn't have that parameter, I'd like to establish that this show deserves a 8.5/10 in terms of production values. The red aesthetic was super pretty. The scenes from 1921 melded with how Han Hi Na’s first romance ended. Overall Bite Sisters was gorgeous with really high visual quality.

Even the acting was great. Kang Han Na is like super gorgeous. The only thing dragging this show for me was the storyline.

Overall a 7/10. The episodes are all completely up on YouTube and it's good as a short vampire fantasy drama.
