I'M SO HYPED, this is like a movie. They've put so much into this drama, from a fantastic cast, to the mood-setting soundtrack, stunning art, and the plot is EPIC. Like just WOW. When I first read the synopsis I didn't know what to expect, either a huge flop or something that is gonna get greater recognition then even You who came from the stars, and I feel like this is definitely on one of those grand scales. You know when someone says you have to watch 3 episodes to know whether something is worth watching. Well I knew from the first that I was going to be hooked, however the third episode had me literally curled up in a ball waiting for the next episode to come out because I was immobile with excitement. And I wasn't disappointed, this was an episode worth freaking out about. Lee Jong Suk has always been a great actor (I feel like he's always been in great dramas) but this is the icing on the cake. Shit got real here. It went all matrix on him and he decided to neo-the-fuck out of that world. Like uggggh
God I'm not even sure if this review is even intelligible. The point is this episode was great Han Hyo Joo is the best female lead for this role, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching her, their romantic chemistry is on point, I don't feel like anything is forced. I have just completely fallen in love for this drama.
I love Ahn Jae Hyeon, so seeing him all sexy and vampiric made my day. I quite liked the first episode, it really created this sense of enigma and suspense. It even had that emotional background that immediately explained to the audience the MC's predicament and enemies, even flashed a prospective romantic figure. I especially enjoyed the lack of twilight generic conventions within this drama. It was a slightly original spin on vampires lacking the obvious cape or the creepy shimmering.
English on point, although there is an accent, it's clear. MC is just soo cool. The female lead is a bit annoying but she's also badass. So there is much hype in this first episode.
I can feel the heat, like oh my goodness. like the ending of this episode is freaking me out. There are too many misunderstandings, pent up feelings, and behind the scene treachery. Really great episode and really dramatic. AHHH
