One of the better Vampire genre K drama for me
Vampire genre in K dramas is less compared to zombie genre which gets better with each drama and even rivals western zombie films & dramas lately, but sadly for vampire genre k dramas there are only few & I dropped the Blood k drama, including this drama I only liked three other vampire k dramas that I watched.The story of this drama revolves mainly around protag also called Night Scholar/Vampire Hunter & the Antagonist called GWI sort of elder Vampire I think if compare to western Vampire stories etc.
So this is the last Vampire K drama that I enjoyed watching, Protag becomes a Vampire as the main antagonist mortally injures the Vampire hunter who turns the protag into a Vampire to kill GWI, In this story vampire hunter is not humans but rather vampires that tries to keep their humanity, story revolves mainly around protag & the antagonist they are the main pillars of the story, if the actors who portrayed these roles didn't do a great job this would have turned into a bad & very boring drama.
Don't expect modern level Vampire action, this follows the old vampire genre style, slow paced but don't drag the story atrociously like older k dramas that increase frustration levels to max & also test viewers common sense & patience.
I liked the Vampire actions in this drama they may look old now but when this aired this was one of the best Vampire K drama I watched till that time, don't think there is any new Vampire genre K drama after this drama.
Like I mentioned above drama is slow paced and takes it's time to introduce the characters, story world etc, there is a lot of talking between characters and skipping can cause losing some important information regarding story, you will see GWI talking a lot he will reveal some info regarding his past and the people he met his lover etc, I have watched this drama more than 2–3 times and currently rewatching again this time gave more attention to GWI conversation and his interactions with other characters including Night Scholar aka main protag, in some scene we feel GWI might have some kindness next scene he does some brutal killing despite being hated he doesn't want to turn second female lead who works for ML, even tells her becoming a vampire with a heart is not easy one can die or turn into a bloodthirsty vampire etc, SFL aka the queen she looks like Night scholars old lover she has her plans in one scene we might think she is planning something next scene we see her human side, I think almost every cast in the show did well, compared to older k dramas or even some new ones this story is interesting till end, there is a start and end, most k dramas gets a great start then start getting bad and by the end viewer might start hating the show.
This is one of the better Korean Vampire genre drama. The drama has some good music, but sadly they have not used the music well to make some scenes even better like the scene where Night scholar loses his black cloth, and he has to save FL in the morning, I think the production tried to reduce the budget or go with low budget, so everything in this drama depends on the performance of the actors, the best part of the show is performance of the cast.

GWi Lee Soo Hyuk for me he's a perfect match for a Vampire, he is a perfect with for supernatural characters. He has a pretty unique face comparing LJG, Baekhyun, Changmin, Kang Ha Neul, Bo Gum, Lee Min Ho etc
Yes Yang Sun's ex lover as her reincarnated self gonna play an important role in the drama but I do not really ship them here.
Didn't really like the music but whoever is their stylist is s/he done a great job. I loved the outfits. Actually when YS first saw Choi Hye Ryung as her reincarnated self Lee Myung Hee the outfit she was wearing reminded me what Hae Soo was wearing in Scarlet Heart Ryeo in one of the episodes.
The drama could be less boring but more attractive - exciting to us as audience.

Drama particolare diverso ma bello!
L'ho iniziato per la curiosità visto che è un drama un po' diverso da quelli che guardò generalmente e visto che i protagonisti mi piacevano ho deciso che era l'ora di vederlo.Al inizio un po' piatto ma piacevole da guardare,i vampiri qui non fanno paura ma se parliamo di sangue score a fiumi.
C'è il vampiro buono che è vampiri non per scelta e che non fa mai male agli umani tanto che alla fine si innamora follemente di una ragazza dopo aver amato per 120 il suo primo amore.E bello e affascinante e con aria da studioso ricco e fantastico.
C'è la ragazza povera ma intraprendente che crescerà come maschio per poter far andare avanti la famiglia.
Poi c'è il cattivo che se è tremendamente bello e sexy e pur sempre un vampiro senza scrupoli che ammazzerà un sacco di gente.
L'ambientazione storica da una bella nota in più a questo drama,costumi bellissimi.Effetti scenici abbastanza belli nonostante i soliti cliché sui vampiri.
Sinceramente io il finale non l'ho ben capito e no saprei dire se è un bel finale o no,forse è la parte che mi ha lasciata più perplessa.

good, but
I went to watch it because I like the genre, fantasy/historic. the beginning gave me a bit of confusion, it didn't seem clear, but the next few episodes held me back to have interest. but it didn't last long. the protagonist, I'm not much of a fan of him, despite being the second drama I've seen him, it made me emphasize this feeling in this one, maybe it's something personal.his romantic partner, the second protagonist, is very cute, nothing to say from her. but the plot of the story did not seem to favor her, leaving it somewhat useless. the plot made her all the time make rash decisions in which the protagonist missed her all the time, and that made the whole story roll up slow.
I think the drama could easily unfold into 10 episodes, and even with its 20, the last capitols, I found it very rushed, without much explanation (actually the whole drama doesn't have many explanations for many things). the villain, I liked it a lot, but for me, it lacked motivation. at last, the only character that caught my charisma, nor was he one of the protagonists, but the servant (he) of the vamp protagonist. Anyway, I can't say I don't have fun, but it's a forgettable drama.

30 jours d'ennui...
J'ai essayé de mettre un titre un peu humoristique en rapport avec les vampires histoire de relever un peu le niveau de ce drama qui, à mon sens est bien raté. Je lui mets quand même la moyenne pour la présence et le jeu de quelques acteurs qui essayent de relever la sauce que le script n'a cessé de diluer tout au (très) long de ces 20 épisodes.Je ne dis pas que le drama aurait du être plus court mais qu'il aurait pu être mené de bien meilleure manière.
En effet, on peut remarquer plein de plans échafaudés qui font chou blanc quasiment à chaque fois, du coup, on recommence pour le même résultat, du coup on recommence... enfin on peut continuer longtemps comme cela et c'est exactement ce que fait la série.
De plus, on a l'impression que les scénaristes essayent de tresser les fils qui constituent le scénario en les lançant en l'air et en espérant qu'ils s'accordent ensemble comme par magie.
Au début du drama, on assiste à une série de sketchs sans transition aucune mais par la suite les différentes scènes se suivent à plus de fluidité et heureusement car il faut essayer de compenser le fait que ça nous sort de l'histoire telle la dépressurisation d'un appareil en plein vol.
Certains personnages montrent de sentiments qu'ils ne ressentent plus par la suite, d'autres encore arborent des particularités qui ne servent à rien dans le drama, ce qui est fort dommage d'après moi.
Enfin tout de même, mention spéciale à Choi Tae Hwan ( Ho Jin) qui plante un personnage comique mais au grand cœur, qui montre sa loyauté et son attachement à son seigneur jusqu'au bout, j'avoue avoir fini le drama en partie pour lui et également pour voir comment se déroulerait la romance qui, bien qu'ayant eu un développement mélangeant en bonne mesure passion et désespoir, nous montre un final que j'ai trouvé bâclé.
Un petit plus pour finir concernant les scènes de combat qui sont particulièrement bien réalisées.
Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

Coi vampiri proprio non ci siamo
E' il terzo drama coreano che cerco di vedere con protagonisti dei vampiri e proprio non ci siamo, non so perchè ma i coreani sembrano non saper utilizzare questo tipo di mostro. Basterebbe lo trattssero come un demone o un goblin invece no, ogni volta creano trame caotiche che non hanno senso intorno a lui e il vampiro stesso non ha caratterizzazione specie a livello di sue proprie caratteristiche più che psicologia. Cioè può stare al sole o no? Come lo uccidiamo? Quanto sangue deve bere? Quali poteri e debolezze ha? Non è ben chiaro e a volte le cose cambiano durante il drama. Anche in questo caso il drama parte che tu non capisci nulla dove siamo, chi sono i personaggi che vediamo, il vampiro c'è o è una leggenda? chi cavolo è quello che si deve sposare? Ah ci sono due vampiri? Ah un vampiro governa sul re da secoli? e nessuno se n'è mai accorto? Sto tizio viveva a palazzo e non si è mai accorto della sfilza di concubine morte? Non si capisce un cavolo. Poi la storia sembra tornare sui binari, poi deraglia ancora. BohWas this review helpful to you?
