A simple, sweet & predictable drama that is not very Vampire-ly
Subjective Gut Rating: 7.75
What 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.
