Cute but stupid

This series is cute but stupid. With a total time of only about 80-90 minutes, you can easily watch it in one sitting. The actors are all adorable, and the romance is almost believable or as believable as it can get in such a sort series. The production quality is alright, and the glowing eyes is a nice touch.

The thing that made me internally scream is the plot. The vampire pretty much just let himself die being unwilling to drink from his lover. Humans can lose about 50% of their blood without dying, and about 20% or so without even feeling any major side effects. Just do the blood drinking outside of a hospital or something and you're fine after some medical intervention. Better than one of you dying.

Okay for passing time or listening in the background

I file this drama under "If you like to listen to things in the background or you just really need to pass the time on your bus ride to school, this might be the drama for you."

Ultimately the plot is rushed and kind of nonsensical. There is not a lot of tension to it. The girl isn't all that compelling of a main character except for a kind of interesting backstory related to her mother, and the main guy isn't attractive in my opinion. He also just doesn't really do anything other than be there... The male vampire and the "convenience store oppa" are cute.

But the episodes are short, and the vocabulary is quite simple. I'd also advise watching this series if you're learning Korean, and as of writing this at least the series is free on YouTube, so you aren't losing much by watching it.

This short drama is only 10 episodes, with 20 minutes per episode. I liked the plot and the buildup, but the only issue is that the ending is not very satisfying. The bullies do not receive any kind of punishment, and I feel like the plot is not resolved. I also do not like the romance subplot. It would've been sweeter and more realistic if the male main character remained a big brother-like figure to her rather than trying to romance her. They are not on equal footing as all, due to not only the age gap but also the gap in social skills/ social standing/emotional stability.
