I am enjoying Heartbeat a lot. Which kinda led me down to Korean vampire dramas a little bit. I didn't realize this before but there are quite a few Korean vampire dramas.
Most of them are mystery, murder, quite serious toned (Scholar who walks the night, Blood etc). But I want to recommend something that's not so serious and lots of laughs
➡️ Hello, Francesca
Romania, 2005. One of the last vampire families on earth decides to disguise themselves and live among humans until "the glory of their empire" revives. They are sent to different places all over the world that are considered safe by their leader. However, a group of vampires takes the wrong ship and happens to come to Korea. On board, they run into a timid and unlucky man Du Il. One of the vampires bites him by mistake, and he becomes one of them. They promise Du Il that they will return him to a human on the day when their leader comes to find them. He doesn't have any other choice but to live with them. They are disguised as a family of five and start new lives in Seoul.
Did they directly copy pasted a few scenes from Van Helsing at the beginning? Probably. Hello Francesca, is most likely the first vampire sitcom from Korea I have seen. And it was hilarious. You will see a lot of famous faces, who were back then basically babies. This came out in 2005, so unfortunately the available res are pretty low.
➡️ Vampire Idol
A naive vampire prince struggles to become a global pop idol in this melodramatic youth sitcom. Prince Vampire has to navigate the shark-infested waters of mundane adolescence, all in order to fulfill his lifelong dream of fame and glory.
I mean! Look at that poster. Look at those vampires! Although neither Lee Soo Hyuk or Kim Woo Bin was the prince. But Lee Soo Hyuk as a vampire .... so you already know what you are about to get 🥵
If you don't mind the low res and these being made 15-20 years ago, definitely check them out a bit.
