A Sparse But Moving And Romantic Korean BL
Despite it being a somewhat minimalist, austere (low-budget?) production without much lore or special effects, I really enjoyed this one. The acting was good, and got better as the show progressed. But the chemistry of the two romantic leads is what really makes this one work, I think. I found myself really rooting for them. The writing was good as well, though I do wish they'd included a little more vampire lore for fun. These particular vampires seem like perfectly normal guys who just happen to need to drink blood. I.e., they can walk around in sunlight, eat human food, etc. But that's ok. I definitely wouldn't mind a second season of this one. It'd be fun to explore the developing relationship between human Dong Ha and vampire Ju Won some more. Overall, I'd recommend this one to anyone who might enjoy an understated but moving and romantic Korean BL.Was this review helpful to you?

Cutie Vampires!
I watched this show like a movie (which isn't hard, considering how short it is) and quite enjoyed it! I thought the casting was great, and the storyline wasn't overly complex and managed to fit everything into the short time that they had. Did I want a proper neck bite? Of course. Do I love domestic found family vampires? Also yes.When Dongha signs a lease for a shared apartment, he has no clue that he's moving in with four vampires - in fact, he doesn' even know that vampires are real. Three of his new housemates seem thrilled that he's there....perhaps a bit too thrilled, in fact. However, the fourth roommate, Joowan, is not nearly as welcoming. Dongha is determined to get on Joowan's good side, but Joowan is adamant that Dongha move out. As Dongha and Joowan grow closer, Joowan's cold exterior melts away.
This show was super cute and sweet without drawn out conflicts. It was predictable but fun, and the actors did a great job. If you want basically a bunch of cutiepie vampires living as a little family, a cold vampire x sweet human romance, and a heartwarming gay story? This is a fun time. Don't go looking for anything much deeper - just enjoy the fun!

A simple, sweet & predictable drama that is not very Vampire-ly
Subjective Gut Rating: 7.75What happens when a rural innocent kid lives with a group of sweet and kind-hearted vampires in a shared house? The result is not scary nor thrilling. Aside from showing us the vampire diet, there’s not much vampire-ly things that happened in this drama. Even the blood sucking skill is down to a bare minimum. Now that the tone of the drama is set, is this the type of vampire drama you are looking for?
For a low-budget mini drama, I was quite impressed with the acting of the cast. Most of them are newcomers, especially the two main leads, Yu Sin (who played Lee Ju Won) and Park Dong Ju (who played Han Dong Ha). I even find their acting improves as the drama goes on, and when it requires them to dig deeper for those emotional scenes. These two have great chemistry together. It’s not hard to see how they fall for each other. I especially love their first kiss. The setting was perfect and romantic, and the best part, it’s a good kiss!
The other 3 cast members act as a good friend/potential third wheel, and for comic relief. This is also one of the few dramas where I don't mind the super white makeup because, you know, they are vampires and technically don’t go out much in the sun. All characters are likable here.
The plot is very simple, and there are no twists and turns. You can pretty much predict what is going to happen next, every single time. But this doesn’t affect my viewing pleasure, as I was looking for a simple watch.
The drama is not without faults. I was hoping to learn more about Lee Ju Won’s childhood and the nightmares. The drama did share that in the end, but I wanted more and sooner. I also want a deeper dive into the friendship between Lee Ju Won and Kang Seon Jae. They obviously have gone through a lot together in the past for Lee Ju Won to rely on Kang Seon Jae as an emergency contact. Lastly, a few more cute and fluffy scenes before the emotional reveal would be nice.
But all of these are just minor criticisms. Since the drama is only 8 short episodes of 15 minutes long, it really can’t go deeper into the plot than what it is. Of course, they could have cut down on diet talk and spend a little more time on other areas. Those vampires don’t seem to do much every day.
I would recommend "My Sweet Vampire" if you are looking for something simple as a palette cleanser after watching titles that are darker and more thrilling. The acting is pretty good for this type of drama. Just don’t hold out for something extraordinary or unique or vampire-ly.

it was better than i expected
When i first started to watch this series i had really super low expectations considering it had vampires throughout the storyline. Even though it was a very short series to watch it did not feel rushed which i really liked. But again with the vampires even though the plot depends on this topic you can’t really get to see the vampires. But again considering this is a very short series you couldn’t really expected them to put the topic first instead of the couple. Also about the couple i think that the actors had very good chemistry which made the series better than expected. I think that with the way that story goes on if they had awkward acting or chemistry it wold have been very painful to watch. But i still think that there is room for improvement in this series. I would love to see something similar just longer and more of the vampire theme.Was this review helpful to you?
cute VAMPIRE story
The plot is quite plain, but the acting is fabulous. The lead Dongha is absolutely adorable, and the cast also gives out handsome or stunning vampire looks to add spice to the storytelling. The story is well paced and never feels too rushed. The humor and smiling faces are a delight to watch and fills one's heart with content and warmth. The LOVE is felt all throughout the show with amamazing chemistry between characters.p.s Kang Seon was my fav. He is smart, cunning and lovable at the same time, who played his role really well. Fell for him more and more as the show progressed

1Too short for the story
The show seems quite different from the original synopsis I read, although either that was somewhere else or the MDL one is updated. It's a little less quirky and fun than that synopsis implied, and a little more of a straight-ahead romance. The world-building feels a bit underdone, and the angst of episode 7 a little out of scale with what the story has provided thus far. There are far too many flashbacks for such a short series.Overall, it was cute, but it could have been better with some tighter writing and maybe leaning a little harder into the moral grey areas that the vampire genre allows for.

Utterly charming, a pure delight!
Rarely have I been more pleasantly surprised by a show I went into watching completely blind!Right off the bat I will say that if you are looking for something deep or dramatic, or a story that really dives into vampire lore then this is not the show for you.
However, if you are in the market for a story that really understands how silly, camp, and queer vampires inherently are (I like to call this the What We Do In The Shadows approach to vampirism) while also delivering grounded and humanising portrayals of its characters, then you are very much in the right place.
Due to its relatively short runtime the show really has to strip down its story to the bare essentials, leaving only what is most important. This, for the most part, works greatly in its favour - putting focus solely on strong characterisations and important plot points while leaving no time for unnecessarily drawn out conflicts or melodrama.
I was in fact shocked by how much time the show sets aside for slow, quiet moments between its characters, and how skillfully it weaves important plot elements into these scenes, conveying all that is needed without having to hurry through multiple, slapped-together exposition dumps.
The only time the story feels rushed is, somewhat unfortunately, during the climactic final two episodes, but personally I didn't find this particularly bothersome.
All in all this is an utterly delightful vampiric romp (though it barely concerns itself with such trivial things as lore or backstory) with deeply charming characters and a fantastic, slightly off-beat sense of humour which celebrates its characters in all their camp glory without ever being so over-the-top as to take away from more emotional moments.
Two hours very well spent, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Korean Vampire BL With heartflutters
Not The storyline does not seem to be very unique, but the cast and the script manage This common theme has both very funny and very emotional aspects. For example, when the vampire gang tries to feed their prey (their roommate) to the weight of which It can be sucked, disguised as opulent breakfasts and parties.Und Jewoon Torn between his own desires and the attempt to protect the new human addition from the bite attempts of his fellow residents. As is unfortunately often the case, the episodes are very short and so there isn't much time for character development, but it still seems acceptable.If you are looking for a short entertaining BL with an Enemy to Lovers trope With really good Chemestry, you've come to the right place.

what did they put in this?!
I LOVED this bl, ofc it has room for improvement but overall I feel like it was so goodddd, it def kept me hook.I think (just like any other kbl) time was their bigggest enemy, it feels more like a movie rather than a series, so don’t expect a lot of drama.
For me it was great given the circumstances and don’t let me start with the chemistry!!!!! both actors were great and from ep 1 you could already see their chemistry, which tbh it was the reason why I stayed and became obsessed.
also… the last kiss???????????? they ATE (literally)

Honestly whats there to like?
Ive read other reviews and it ltrl feels like ive watched an entirely different bl. The actors are average at best, the story line very boring and easy to predict, it generally feels just like every other low budget series ive watched before.Definitely not good enough for a 5 star rating- had to skip most of the time and it really wasnt as good as the other reviews said.
