Good if you go in with zero expectations

The main couple definitely had chemistry but the whole relationship development, from strangers to not getting along to friends to lovers was quite rushed.

The show would definitely have done better with longer episodes. The writers didn't do well with the amount of time given, as the show felt a bit rushed.
Nonetheless, I did really enjoy watching it!

The intro was terribly edited and I wasn't a big fan of the soundtracks used. The vfx for the green eyes when Joowon would switch to being overtaken by his vampire instincts looked really bad in my opinion...

The side couple felt really misplaced and badly paced. The didn't have enough screen time to develop a good plot. I also felt like their relationship/plot didn't have a conclusion and I would have preferred if they totally scratched the whole side couple thing and just made them best friends instead. I think that would have worked better.

I loved Seonje's character! The evolution and development of his character was very satisfying. I loved watching him from start to end! The way his jealousy and feelings for Joowon showed was really well done.

Joowon was a bit of a complex character. I found myself thinking about why he did as he did, a lot. His personality and ways of doing things are very realistic! He has a hard time communicating his real feelings and tends to hide the truth.
It seems like he is dealing with a lot of inner conflicts that makes him act that way. I think Joowon is ashamed of himself.
I think his character was well-written!

I liked Dongha's ability to communicate and be transparent with his emotions a lot! It's a breath of fresh air to have someone this honest and understanding in a world full of misunderstanding tropes.
I do lack a form of emotional connection to the character. I do think he is really cute and there are moments where I adore the character quite a bit. But othewise there's nothing else very interesting about his character. I think they made him unrealistically kind. There might be people out there like that, but I personally find it a bit unsatisfying that he wasn't more upset at Seonje, Gyumin and the other vampire that isn't Joowon.

The acting from Joowon, Dongha and Seonje's side was good! The side couple's acting was significantly worse, though.

The audio quality was also really inconsistent, and usually really bad. The random voice overs were also very obvious, and threw me off quite a bit.

Overall pretty good!
I went in with the expectation that it would be pretty good, and got exactly what I thought it would be.

Glad that I watched. Would recommend someone to watch it if they were bored and needed a quick watch.
Probably would never re-watch.
