I watched this a bit ago so I can’t remember much. This will be a short review. There are just a few questions from me. When was there ever a theory that you can be turned into a vampire by contaminated blood? What happened to the vampire aspect? They just focused on the detective part while just saying ‘oh yeah the mc can’t really die and was once hurt by sunlight but not anymore’ It was a quick watch to pass time, I wouldn’t really watch it again, and like a lot of k dramas the villain was a crazy woman with no objective except to get back together with her high school love who is now 80. Also, the show had no happy ending at all. Mc disappeared, a lot of people died, and it was all a setup for a season 2 that has never come. All in all if you need something to pass the time, it’s a quick watch, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you were looking for something focusing on vampires.

Sorry for anyone who liked my original review, but I’ve changed my mind too many times and there’s a word limit.

I love how we are introduced to the characters, and how Ma HongJun has a more fleshed out story in this. The actors casted as each character really showcase the personality of their characters in the best ways. The overall story is great, fair warning for everyone though, episode 16 is a little cringey as though xiao Zhan is a great actor, the entire spider legs scene is just not it. The show is awesome so far and is making its own take on the story. If it were it’s own original show, it’d be awesome, but there are bound to be some people who read the source material who don’t like the changes. One last little thing that I’d like to know, does tang San learn poison from du gu bo or does he never learn about poisons and never encounters dugu? And one last thing completely, the actor for grandmaster (Calvin Chen) has done awesome at portraying him and I think he really captured the essence of xiao gang. (But kind of more like the dumbledore goblet of fire thing where in the books he’s composed but in the movie he’s more straightforward and assertive, ya know?) The directors really hit snake eyes on the dice roll for episode 1 because it is a great introduction, but it probably pushed away a lot of the audience who had read the manhua/book or seen the anime.

Weirdest show out of the bunch of kdramas I've watched, but not in a very bad way. Story progresses quick, but I think I've dropped this for now in the middle of the 'slow point' of the show. I think what made me not that interested was the female lead being kind of annoying, me wanting the priest to be the main character, and the mc being kind of bland. Some people say that being able to predict the ending of something means the author has written their story well, but for this specific show, I'd say that it's not the good kind of prediction. The one thing that I can be overly positive about is that all the actors in the show are amazing at their job; especially the people playing the possessed.
