The movie is set in Caracas, and I've got to say, it definitely isn't going to be for everyone. The way the story builds up is actually pretty strong, but for me, the point of it all felt a little fuzzy. It's a story packed with gay desire and a lot of violence, giving you a really interesting look at the city through its two main characters. However, what’s actually driving each of them stays in a bit of a gray area, which was a little bothering. The story follows a middle-aged gay man named Armando who spends his time cruising the streets and buses looking for young, working-class guys. He pays them to come back to his place, but he gets his kicks just by watching them pose half-naked without ever actually touching them. One of these meetings goes south fast when a street teenager named Elder brutally beats Armando up, steals his cash, and makes a run for it. A few days later, Armando tracks the boy down, and Elder steals from him again, but for some reason, Armando becom...
Jun Ho is a vampire living between humans. His health is deteriorating since he killed a human. Now the only way for him to save himself from dying is to drink from a "pure blood" human who has fallen for him. A rare species, Jun Ho finds a pure blood guy Min Hyun in his class and he develops interest in him. When Min Hyun gets all attention from the hot Jun Ho, he of course falls for him and spends time with him unknown of his real motives. As time passes, the two fall in love more and more with each other and Jun Ho increasingly finds difficult to drink his blood even after Min Hyun finds out his secret. A guy from the past come back into picture to help Jun Ho , by killing Min Hyun but instead Jun Ho kills him. The ending is sad since Jun Ho decides to die rather than drink blood of his true love.
Yes, you read the story above right. This is exactly what happens on the screen. And yes it is as dumb ad illogical as it sounds. Despite having a good looking cast and decent production values, the dreadful story and direction of this atrocious series is hard to sit through. The characters are randomly introduced without background. Like the older lady president who wants to save Jun Ho, or the random guy who comes to save him ( I mean who is he and why and how could he help). There is no rhyme or reason. Calling the series extremely boring would be an understatement. Even the love story between the leads is contrived. They are awkward together. Why would Min Hyun suddenly trust a complete stranger. Also why does the blood have to be had through killing someone. Why can't he offer his blood through IV or something? This show is full of loopholes and absolutely ridiculous and amateurish plot line and an uninspiring romance. It is hard to sit through this extremely boring and sleep inducing, cringe worthy, eye rolling series. (2/10)

True!!
But I am starting to feel now that with any series, by the time you have seen a few episodes, some of the guys start getting attractive anyway..
Thanks god I got to see TonChon chemistry soon after, which was a savior
+ ossan's love HK that I wanted to save for latter but seeing your review I think I won't resist long...
WRT Ossan's Love H, I would recommend hold off as much as you can. It is almost scene by scene replica of the original , so the more time it passes between the two versions, the more you will appreciate the humor.
