Drama Vs. Manhwa

This was my first ever vertical drama, so I might not be good at this and be a little harsh. I only know about the ones you see as ads when scrolling or on a game. I also would like to point out, I read the manhwa not the novel, so I speak on the manhwa's half.

The big thing I have though, this should have never been a vertical drama. The whole thing came out to be around an hour and nine minutes. Which seems like a long time, but yet didn't seem like a long time to even scratch the surface.

Con(s):
1. A lot of the characters that were necessary (at least I feel) weren't there.
2. There were plot holes. It didn't explain how Taekin kept his phone, why the phone was wiped, why Taekin was involved with the teacher (who, BTW, in the manhwa was the older brother of the class vice president), and Taekin's sudden making of bread.
3. I didn't like the confrontation scene at all. The few punches that Heechan took in Taekin's body was not needed. In the manhwa, at least, he tried to avoid anything that would jeopardize Taekin for when he would eventually come back.

Pro(s):
1. The actors were good. They definitely captured their energy to a certain extent, and I definitely stayed for them.
2. I like how they made Taekin have at least one school friend, and that he didn't leave school. (He was bullied a bit harshly, hence why they thought the accident was on purpose).
3. It could be watched on its own if you never read the novel/manhwa. However, it would probably leave you with questions.

It was probably bound to have the plotholes and feel rushed (at an hour and nine minutes total). It's something, even after criticizing, I didn't hate. I would recommend you to watch it, because all in all, I was shocked we got a live adaptation. The drama does have its on perks in a way.

Honestly

I wasn't going to give this a shot because of the reviews and rating, but I'm kind of glad I did. I personally loved it, but I can understand how this couldn't be for everyone? If that makes sense. But there are a few things that bothered me

1. It felt a bit rushed, I feel like this easily could've been at least 10 episodes, maybe longer depending on content. They could've added more lore for example the older vampires and their ability to sniff out other vampires?
2. The fight scenes, they were sort of, bad? They weren't terrible (I seen worse believe it or not), but it definitely feels like they had a time frame for how long each fight should of lasted.
3. This is a visual thing but the bite marks.. they appeared horizontally but they should've been vertically.. plus the lack of blood when they bit. Again its a visual thing, so it may not bother some.

(But can Mix get a girlfriend/boyfriend, I felt bad for the poor guy)
