I found the plot intriguing but the execution of the story could have been better....they could have had more tension and passion, both for the vampire plot and for the romance plot.
Dome is very attractive on screen... He and Ploy look good together... also , lots of eye-candy, both male and female.
I loved her since I saw east of Eden... She is beautiful and a very good actress... and since then I wondered why she is not in some of the more popular dramas.. She is definitely better than most K-actresses.
Romantic Ajummah mentioned something that I did not know anyone else felt :
I feel I need to go back and re-rate some of the dramas I watched long ago , b/c w/ experience comes better insight... and my impressions about certain aspects of dramas have changed.
- Thank you for showing me others went through similar thought processes.
Thank you for the link ... I have been waiting forever to see this .:D
I like your review... and you are right... I want to support his comeback to acting also !!!
... I saw some footage of him during the time he was filming and promoting this film, and I agree w/ you...He seems to have been greatly shaken by that scam and was probably still nervous while shooting.
Btw, love the Park Si-Hoo Collage on your profile page :D
---->>> Very well written, great character development , Excellent acting, very good story, good pace , good supporting characters, etc...etc ....
.... All lead to Intense Raw emotions that leave an indelible impression! ....
---->>>Totally hooked on Ken and his Powerful performance .... Amazing actor !!!
.... Anne is also great !! .... Her subtle looks and expressions helped to show the love, well hidden on the surface, that Narin had for Kawee.
Their performances add a lot more than the words of the script express.
--- Yes .... Kawee is very mean .... Raging like a hurricane as he goes thru the scenes.
BUT, these characters are very Complex. It is shown as bad behavior Not bad people - due to immaturity, impulsiveness, among other factors. Plus, his attempts at redemption were convincing, and did not happen over night ..... imo, this script handled the subject better than any other Asian drama I've seen (better than "Sealed w/ a Kiss", etc...)
---->>> The story is nothing special... A self-centered, immature, arrogant rich brat (Chaebol), being tamed by the love of a good woman. .... What makes this GREAT are the well developed Complex characters, the very tightly and very well written script, and the amazing acting that makes every scene compelling !!! ... All that adds layers to the surface story.
---->>> Every word in the Script is there for a reason !! .... it all helps explain the psyche of every character, their history and how their personalities effect every behavior....
Watching it the second time was even better than the first !
BEST thing: Tik and Aom P. .... good actors, both very good looking ... Tik was dashing in his younger days, never seen him look better than in here.
Good story, but draggy at times, could have been more concise.
The supporting characters could have been better ... especially the two guys following her ... very dull, uninteresting - in looks, character, and acting.
At least the token psycho female was Not delusional ! ...That's a huge Plus !!! .... She was only after his money.
WORST thing: The very annoying "screaming Dancers" from the club... Yuck!!!
I fast forwarded thru all their scenes, all senseless shouting...until the very end, where they are relative to the plot.
He's a great supporting actor... and very handsome.
Loved him as the bad-guy in "Roy Fun Tawan Duerd" but also loved him as the nice Gay boyfriend in "Proong Nee Gor Ruk Ter" ...
Too opposite roles and he played both very well !!!
Ohh... and I love how in the beginning he always called her you "Naughty Thing" or that "Troublemaker" ....XD
Her teasing really got to him ... their escapades together were a lot of fun!!

This started out strong... lots of angst and an interesting lead couple , that was fun to watch.
..... BUT ...Just as @Cheer said below , as soon as the wicked twin stepped in , it was no longer fun.... They took it over the top and lots of things stopped making sense...
--- I wish they would not have made the twins so black or white ... if their characters were gray , it would have been more interesting to watch him struggle w/ his emotions... and then , his confusion would have made a lot more sense.
---- Plus , it dragged in the last 3-4 episodes , just repetitive and no plot advancement...
---- for the reasons listed above I deducted 3 pts from the total rating ...(despite loving the first half)

Reading the Novel always makes the drama better for me.
