So, I started to watch this because of Lee Junki who's one of my favorite actors. Well, this drama lowered his rating in my eyes. Let me explain why; from start of this drama I felt like I'm rewatching his two previous roles put in together, in other words Lee Junki didn't offer anything new. Well, he was handsome as a vampire, the look actually fits him but I just felt this whole vampire thing was a bit ridiculous. The way vampires were presented, especially the 'you-don't-drink at full moon you die' -rule was just ridiculous. It seemed more like taken off from some werewolf story. Then the other cast; I didn't like Lee Yu Bi's character Yang Sun. From the first episodes I thought Yang Sun is just too clingy and pretending to be brave but ending up crying her eyes out like every time. Can I say how much I hate heroines like that. I just don't understand what Sung Yeol and Lee Yoon saw in her. No offence to Lee Yu Bi, she's good actor but I just didn't like her character in this drama. Lee Soo Hyuk. Well there's an eye candy~ I started this drama because of Lee Junki and ended up waiting Lee Soo Hyuk's scenes. I think he makes a perfect vampire badass with his low voice giving you chills even though I still think the whole vampire thing in this drama was presented ridiculously. I was surprised Gwi's one scene in the second last episode, where he's at his cavern. You will know what I mean if you watch this drama. I think that was the best scene in whole drama (darn I can't talk about it because it would spoil the whole fun). But yeah, Gwi's character was great yet somewhat annoying at times. I think other side cast were quite irrelevant minus Choi family. The writers left too many unexplained things. Like what happened to Lee Yoon's mother? And his father after final episode's happenings? And I totally didn't understand the ending of this whole drama. What was that about? So I think this was kind of messy with the story. It was a good storyline but telling it was messy and watcher couldn't often follow what was going on. And there was nothing new from Lee Junki so in the end I gave this drama 7.5. Oh, and OST is nice. I actually downloaded couple songs because I found myself humming them :D They get into your head so beware :P
