I did not connect with this series at all. There were a few instances where the humor was fun but overall it was just a big misfire according to me. There was potential but I did not feel invested at all in either the leads or the other side characters. Thankfully the series is short with just 8 episodes of about 16-20 minutes duration each. Yes, it is a cute and fluffy story but the promise of building a vampire world without fully exploring it makes for a lousy script writing in my opinion.
4 college housemates who also happen to be vampire live in a house and are looking for a 5th roommate. But their main concern isn’t about paying rent; but because they are dying to sink their teeth into a fresh, live human! The group is happily surprised when a young innocent Dongha moves in for a small time with them. To the vampires’ dismay, however, Dong Ha doesn’t weigh enough for them to suck his blood! . Also since the rumors about their nocturnal activities have started to spread, the residents are under strict orders not to hurt Dongha. He isn't meant to be prey. Still three of the four are very tempted to drink his blood. Only Joowon, a half-blooded vampire who hates drinking human blood, feels protective of his new roommate. And the story is about love and relationship developing between the two. There is parallel love story about two vampires and a whole lot pf focus on coking food and making vampires eat it.
The show tries to rely on some light hearted moments on how these 4 vampires and one human try to co-habitat together, which are interesting to watch but lack of any sort of character development for any of these feels like a show made in haste. It had a promising start but as the story progressed, it began to lose its charm. Some scenes felt a bit cringeworthy, and the pacing was noticeably rushed. Honestly, I did not even connect much with the romance of the lead pair as well. Yes, they had sweet interactions and all but none of it felt naturally happening to me. There is a scene where the lead vampire almost loses his control when Dongha gets hurt which is when he finds out about the whole vampire stuff but t just all feels very silly to me. I am not sure why this show has received almost unanimous gratitude reviews all over, but even with its acceptable runtime, there really wasn't much about this series that would make it memorable at all. One more story lost in the series of BL world. (3.5/10)
