Only worth watching for the cast

They could've wrapped it up in 10 eps or the classic 16 eps max!
This was boring and the romance between the main leads was dull.
The cast is amazing and it's the only reason I finished it.

The other fls outshined the main fl, they carried the show more than the fl especially Kim So Eun's characters, her role was the most complex yet she shined in just a few parts, I wish she was the fl, that would've been interesting and I preferred Sung Yeol's chemistry with Myung Ee.

It would've been better without the main romance because I felt it diluted Sung Yeol's character, the romance was repetitive and predictable, even tho there was a lot of kiss scenes, it all felt the same.
I'm writing about the character not the actress, the story would've been fine without the fl.. the plot tried to give her importance but she just felt like a filler.

It's sad because Lee Joon Gi did such an amazing job, his acting was top notch especially when he was dealing with his inner turmoil.
And don't get me started on Lee Soo Hyuk! literally the perfect vampire you could ever find! acting, visuals, voice, charisma.. you name it!! If I ever rewatch this I just want a compilation of his parts!

The drama started off promising but it dragged with some problems that could've easily been solved with a simple solution but they complicated it even for fiction, the osts were not impressive and the ending was anticlimactic.

Trigger warning this drama shows a lot of blood so if you don't like seeing it don't watch this. it's tagged as horror in streaming sites but as someone who doesn't like this genre this was very tame.. just a lot of blood and vampires.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you like the casts or want to look at pretty girls and handsome vampires.
