This drama is not what it seems. It’s much better.
As a critical drama viewer, I scoffed at the title and poster for this drama. It’s very easy to dismiss. The premise sounds ridiculous and the poster matches that assumption perfectly.
But I was very surprised by this drama, which does a fantastic job of creating intricate, thought-provoking murder mysteries that will make you ponder what’s right and what’s wrong. Situations in life are not always black and white--sometimes there’s a lot of gray.
Each episode is woven exceptionally well. So much so that the series becomes interactive, and as a viewer, I found myself attempting to guess the “who, what, when, where, why and how “of the crime.
The acting is also very well done--from the lovable prosecution team lead by the dogmatic, bullheaded and yet very sexy Min Tae Yeon to the suspects, everyone played their part flawlessly. I especially enjoyed the lead characters and their own quirky traits that seemed to balance the prosecution team perfectly.
Is it a perfect work of drama art? Not exactly. But it was very surprising and almost refreshing to watch something that involved vampires, and yet did not deal with oversexed, vulgar and lustful characters. That in and of itself makes me rate it higher!
Kudos, Vampire Prosecutor, for knocking some of the stale haze from an overused mythological genre!
