DAMN THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING!!! ??

Another short ass BL that had a great potential! If it weren't for how short it is, it would be amazing and compelling. This one is quiet unique from other BL being with supernatural characters which one of the main leads is a vampire. The pacing of the story is hella fast but i think I can follow. There were just like “this is the story” then they have been putting a bit of other story like another vampire guy who loves Jun Ho. I get it, Jun Ho needs a pure blood human to make himself a human but I don't understand the logic of being a vampire here like unaffected with the sunshine. They could have just made him afraid of sunlight and dislikes garlic or something like that. One I don't really think I get is that sucking another human with pure blood in the past then hunts another one which is Min Hyun which means like he's just another victim like he was not that special. I like the cast, I really do especially the main leads. The acting, is great you could tell. I really do like the chemistry of the two. The Osts are no joke!! Dream by SWAY made me cry so much (like shit, I can't) and the other osts of this drama are also good. I was really intrigued with the story but I think, it could have been better if they did not rushed it just like Enchanté and Star In My Mind. I think it's rushed. The story needs more polish and clarity. That's just the problem, how the story lost my interest for being such a short drama with short eps and running time. The director and the ones created this drama needs more time creating series just to see the full potential of it.

I watched this in the past,but dont know why,i wasnt in the vibe and didnt gave it the needed attention. it was me,not them :)) Now i got back to it and i enjoyed it. all in all,the serie was good. Not great,but good enough. Some dumb plot holes here and there, the acting is ok'ish and the visuals are there. The episodes could've been longer,but the story was still well told mostly and it was somewhat fresh even though it's still familiar(are you confused yet?:D),not the same old tale of vampires you meet everywhere. Prepare your heart though for the endingjust saying!
thank God i now have Roomates of Poondank with these 2 actors so i can soothe my broken heart.

A VAMPIRE CAN'T FIX LACKING PLOT

The highlight of this BL as a whole has to be Jiwoong, and while that may be biased, this is my review so I am going to be biased. He ate that vampire role up, given what he was which brings me in my 2nd point...
The story was...Below avarage, especially given the vampire idea, it could have definitely be written better, but also several plotholes and questions left unaswered, with a season 2 rumored this could change but I doubt it will so I stand my ground on this.
The music was good, but did not impress me alot.
Would still rewatch if I was bored one day and had nothing else to do.

A VERY BEAUTIFUL STORY OF LOVE!

I love this so much! The storyline is amazing. I've seen and felt different kinds of love in this BL, romantic, family, friendship, unrequited love and others, and it was showed amazingly. I deeply felt the feelings the two male leads had for each other and... aahh, I really want to say more but I don't want to mention spoilers. I actually watched both the movie and series version because I don't want to miss anything and I plan to rewatch them again. Oh, and by the way, the two male leads are very good-looking, just perfect for each other. I love the effects, the music... everything! I already added this to my favorite list. Love this so much!

fantastic acting. Just one plot gaaaaap. and that god damn ring. Homophobia? You tell me.

incredible acting. 20 out of ten. makes up for everything else. Mostly. two things significantly bring this down. First, the story progression... Like, they saw each other then poof they're in love. Like other than them saying they were in love, there's nothing that lead to that. Especially for vampire what's his name. I would have liked for there to be any indication of something that might have attracted him to farm boy. but nope, all of a sudden, I can suck his blood and oh surprise, I'm in love with him. Grrr.
The second? THAT RING! He even kicked it! They had two opportunities to get it on his finger! Really, is Korea that homophobic? I mean they just made a BL! They could at least not drop that ring. In more ways than one. Like they didn't even need to have it because it's worse this way. It feels like a concerted slap at gay marriage. Anyway. good job actors. Fighting at boys planet. May being in BLs only propel you forward as well as propel acceptance of queerness in Korean and international society.

It could’ve been better

I watched this and felt it was a really shallow drama. Such as K-bls it was incredibly short. I would describe it as a summary of a drama. It left me with more questions at the end. Like what is the story of the vampire and his deceased lover? How did the vampire meet his vampire friend? How does the humans brother know about vampires and the fact the main lead is a pure blood human? It was just confusing. This drama moves at light speed. One second the vampire is trying to drink the humans blood the next him and the human are in love and finally the vampire dies. The end. However I did read it will get a second season so I hope I can understand better wtf happened.
I did really love though how the drama was about a selfless love. The vampire chose not to drink his lover’s blood because it could’ve killed his lover. In doing so the vampire dies. His lover offered his blood freely and the vampire still refused it. I thought that was actually a very beautiful thing. Actually when the vampire dies I teared up a bit because it was actually a heart breaking scene.
The acting is actually very good and very believable. The chemistry is on point and perfect. The actors are very handsome and there love scenes felt very natural. Actually one thing I notice is that with KBl the kiss scene is actually not something that just happens. It’s worked up to and when it happens it’s actually a very beautiful scene. That’s why the kiss scene is actually a very celebrated moment in KBl because it’s actually quite a beautiful scene.

Story of Johun+Minhyun

The story was good, I liked of how shy Min-Hyuns character was, but it felt a bit rushed. I get that it's a short BL, but it seemed to move quickly. The plot was confusing at time, and the ending wasn't the best.


SPOILERS FOR ENDING
The fact that they killed off Johun when he could've lived madr me upset. I understand that the character felt guilty for the death of his ex, and he didn't want to hurt Min-Hyuns, but he offered for him to take his blood. The ending could of had a better way to end it off instead of killing him. Overall, it was a decent show, and if I had to grade it, it would probably be a C+.

Un vampire sur le point de mourrir. Pourra-t-il échapper à la mort ? C'est un peu pour ça que j'ai regardé ce mini drama.
J'ai trouvé l'histoire intéressante mais trop survolée puisque c'est peu d'épisodes (qui sont très courts d'ailleurs), mais le jeu des acteurs est plutôt bon, et les ost sympas.

Quand j'ai regardé ce bl, j'ai trouvé ça joliement raconté, un peu comme une sorte de conte ; j'avoue que je n'ai pas l'habitude de regarder ce genre là (avec des vampires), mais j'ai trouvé ça trop mignon.

Ce qui est triste c'est que le vampire va mourrir parce qu'il a tué un humain par le passé, et que son seul moyen de survivre, c'est de boire du sang pur, mais que la seule personne qui en possède, il en est tombé amoureux ; c'est un dilemme compliqué...

Could have been much better

This made so little sense, lol. It's a show about a vampire, but besides drinking blood and being immortal, he has no other vampire characterictics. He can be out in the sun just fine and I don't even think I saw a fang.

The plot was a mess, especially in the last episode. What was the ring about? What was the random scene on the basketball field after the lady asks Jun Ho if his heart is at ease? After going back to check, I realise it's probably Min Hyun dreaming, but it was very confusing. Why was Min Hyun even asleep in the classroom? Why does he hug Jun Ho when he wakes up as if he thought he'd lost him? Didn't they just sleep together then went to class?

Why didn't he drink his blood when we already know from the first episode that he can drink some without killing people? Why did the other vampire have red eyes? How did Min Hyun's brother find the hideout when no one else in school seems to know about it? Who even was the older lady? She seems to work at the school? They tried way too hard to fit a convoluted plot into eight 10-minute episodes.

This also had the low-budget feel that most KBLs have. The only reasons I'm not rating this lower than 6.5 stars are because the two leads are great, and some scenes fall into the "so bad it's good" category. I see there's possibly a second season in the works - hopefully it answers some of the questions and gives this mess a proper ending?

I Don't Even Know What to Title This As.

I really have to revamp my whole rating list when it comes to shorter dramas, because this one was good and bad at the same time. Good? The premise was good. The cast was good. All the emotions were conveyed well.
The story? Oh dear, the story. It seems that the writers even directed this one specifically for that *horns and balloons* ending.
For a story to have emotional depth, the run time matters. Here, we dive head first into something, watch the leads' relationship grow, then get thrown into something else. And I still have no idea what the significance of that character was. He existed for the angst. Minus him from the story and there is still no change to the overall plot.
I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to finish their 52 Week Watch Challenge, but are short on free time. As for others... if you are expecting some mind blowing storytelling, this ain't it. But, it does have good emotional performances by the cast that is unfortunately stunted by the limited runtime.
