Finally, in the midst of a ton of dramas with a smiliar melodramatic recipes, a more mature drama has made its way onto the Korean small screens. It's a relief for us drama fans who are in for the acting qualities instead of the idol turned actors and o(ther) good-looking (but not so good at acting) people.
It's quite clear right away that this is not just any amateuristic drama. The way things are being filmed, the sequence of events and the way the seriousness of the actors is displayed is just magnificent.
Whereas in a lot of other Korean dramas, the bad acting is often enhanced by bad camera work, this time good acting and good editing go hand in hand.
Surely, the plot misses out on a few chances where it could've been truly terrific, like how it was fairly obvious who the criminal in the general background story was right from the start, but aside from that, the other cases were pretty interesting.
I tend to see the whole vampire thing as something that isn't that important for the case-solving - as most of the crimes weren't done by supernatural powers - but as a part of what makes the lead character (portrayed by the wonderful Yeon Jeong hoon)more appealing to viewers who are looking for something that sets this drama apart from other detective/police series.
And this drama certainly does add a little something that other dramas don't: that dark shadow that seems to hang over each case and each character (supernatural or not). That which shows that they each have their insecurities, or their pasts that they'd rather keep quiet about.
