Having in mind that it's a low budget show, it's quite enjoyable if you feel like watching something without paying much attention or in the mood for a "no brain" binge watch. The styling was amazing; I appreciate the LGBT+ representation; the acting was questionable at times; the story was okay. Don't let the title trick you: it's not about vampires, but about a mutation that leads to immortality.Story: The story is unrefined but it works. It's only 6 episodes so obviously the pacing is fast and some aspects are rushed over. Personally, I don't really enjoy supernatural content, especially when vampires are involved (if you really like vampire content, you will probably be disappointed because it's more mentioned than executed), but the lack of cliches made it refreshing and watchable. There's a BL aspect to it involved with the main story but not the focal point, therefore don't expect much of it. I was completely surprised by the styling, really compliments the characters, is very on brand and, honestly, my favorite part of this show. The low budget is very apparent in certain scenes, even so, that is not the case for most of the show.Acting/Cast: The acting by the korean actors is fine, lacking at times mainly due to the script. Some of these korean actors do speak in english with an heavy accent making it difficult to understand some words/sentences, making me question why not cast actors that can speak english fluently, but then I remember the low budget... it's bearable by how the lines are delivered. The acting from the foreign actors is very lacking in comparison, mostly because of the weird unnatural script. This show would have been way more polished if they didn't try to have an international concept. I found myself laughing at the acting in the later episodes.Music: Doesn't stand out, which isn't a bad thing. Not a lot of thought was put into the soundtrack, which is normal since it's a web drama, therefore, lower budgets. It gets the job done. Rewatch value: I'd say none, but I never rewatch anything.
