Ain't no way Facebook gets away with profiting from piracy while the Internet Archive is struggling to survive after briefly doing piracy for no profit.
I won’t lie to you I am expecting this series to not be great but “gay Korean vampire drama” intrigued me
“When a vampire breaks a taboo, they will slowly dissipate within ten years.” So is this like an Interview with the Vampire situation where if u kill another vamp, ur put to death
“Such taboos are killing their own kind and humans.” Thank you for the immediate exposition
Also, how do u avoid killing what is ur diet. That would be like me vowing not to kill plants. It doesn’t seem feasible, for a vampire
The phone tech really does help to contextualize this as a present day
It is both a weird response to not apologize for getting blood on someone and also to sniff the blood that’s been bled on you. What in the Twilight?? How do either of you pass for normal at this university
“When the opportunity to become human arrives, without hesitation, I must make a move.” Is he gonna romance him or eat him? I don’t understand the mechanics of your vampire lore
Two questions here: 1) Does Jun Ho usually feed on people in the men’s bathroom? 2) Do they have any understanding of what just occurred, or is it like waking up from a trance, and if so do they think they just went into a Gay Fugue State and made out with him? Cause that’s what it must looks like
Of note, for anyone who is reading along, the shorter-haired guy is not the other protag, he is just an unfortunate study buddy
With the whole, he can be seen in mirrors and photographs thing, are there regionally specific Korean nuances to vampire myths? These are only ten minute eps but I have so many questions
“To experience the true merit of drinking a pureblood’s blood to become human, you must win their heart.” So Jun Ho’s gonna romance Min Hyun AND eat him
Also, seems like a self-defeating thing that your motives for seeking out their love wouldn’t be pure so how can there be sincere love there
Also who is this woman who is dishing out vampire romance advice? His mum? His former mother-in-law? His vampire historian? Unclear
They need to take a lesson from To My Star on how to do a relationship-building basketball game; the vibes and chemistry are a little off (do ppl throw their necks back while hugging kjghjghjkgh???):
Also they’re out in the sun!! Is the ONLY vampire thing that is recognizable the drinking blood??? LOL
“There’s really nothing you can’t do, Hyung.” It seems like they’re wanting us to accept this as the two of them having bonded, but like, at least give me a montage!! You’ve known each other for like an hour or two
“My biological brother is always tracking my location.” I don’t even know how to begin to unpack this sentence
“I couldn’t tell you earlier, but apparently, I was almost kidnapped when I was little.” But now that you’ve known him for 3 hours, you’ve really come to trust him LMAO
HAHAHAAH I can’t believe Min Hyun’s brother running through the school, panicking about him being kidnapped, while he’s just about to mack on this vampire on this sofa
Psych, no kissing just yet, Jun Ho is still dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress from murdering his last human lover
I won’t lie to you, I had no idea that “hyung” was even an honorific until just now, I think the men in other shows mostly dealt with peers of their same age, and if they were senior to them “sunbae” or “-nim” sufficed jkghkjghg u learn something new every day
Min Hyun’s making a very interesting expression when he thinks about their potential romance which seems to involve sucking in his top lip and giving off squirrel energy kjhgkjhgghkjh I am perplexed by so much of the acting here
“Do you like me?” “Yes, I like you.” This is the most straightforward anyone has ever been about their feelings in the international media I’ve watched and I can’t believe that it’s coming to me through the lens of Awkward Vampire Day-Long Love
Did Min Woo yoink his brother out of there because Jun Ho is a vampire or because they were kissing? Either way it was very funny to see him walk in on them, yell, and then Jun Ho go, “Nah I’m gonna go for it anyway,” and continue to kiss Min Hyun right in front of his brother
“I always hold onto my phone at work worrying about you.” That sounds like a YOU problem, Min Woo
“The reason why you’re special, is because you’re a pureblood human.” As a side note, I really am over the use of this terminology kjghkjhg but ur telling me it was VAMPIRES that tried to kidnap Min Hyun and somehow failed against a child omg
Also JKGHJHG Min Woo said: I would hate crime a vampire, but I draw the line at homophobia
LMAO @ how unfazed Min Hyun was by this revelation he immediately goes back to vampire HQ to seek out Jun Ho
“We are a little more than friends.” You know, I guess if you’re 500 years old, it tracks that you’d have more than one ex in your life hahaha
“My friend of 30 years is dying, and there is a way to live, but he still chooses to die.” I guess that answers the question of who this lady is, just a pal
Also, honestly mood Jun Ho lol accepting doom is #relatable
She’s giving him HER blood to drink in these blood bags? Dang, good friend
“You found out what I wanted to keep hidden the most.” “What does... that have to do with you wanting to die?” Lmao @ this one ex from ten years ago having more emotional impact to the story than the literal other lead character
“I can kill him if he’s in the way, right?” When ur bestie and ur ex have been conspiring against you
Ngl, I did think it was weird that this random human(?) woman told him he was gonna die, like how does she know
Fhkjfhkjhfk the confidence from Min Hyun is something else:
Min Hyun: I know how to resolve this!!!
Jun Ho: Ending our 3-day relationship?
Min Hyun: Biting kink? 👀💕
“Stop saying childish things, like a little kid.” Ah, we hate infantilizing your love interest this is really classic moves out of the Ed Cullen playbook
It’s not overly clear to me if Ex-Boyfriend is actually a vampire - it seems that way but no one has said it outright
“It was me who was by Jun Ho’s side for centuries.” That answers that question
“It’s not you, who only knew him for a few months.” MONTHS? Have elapsed. REALLY GUYS, INVEST IN A MONTAGE!! THE PASSAGE OF TIME IS NOT CLEAR I THOUGHT Y’ALL WERE ON DAY 3
IS IT MONTHS OR DAYS? WHAT IS THE TRUTH!!!!!
They really need to make the scene transitions in this show clearer it’s not apparent to me why/when Jun Ho and Min Hyun are even in the same space and they just cut to it like we’ve already got the context
They’re explaining this scene verbally but would have killed them to just like, show and not tell? It would wake way more sense for the audience to SEE Min Hyun comforting Jun Ho as he’s sick than have Min Hyun explain he did it when they wake up
“However, I think you’re the one who’s mistaken. Jun Ho never once belonged to you, right?” Idk I always kinda think that if you’ve been alive for CENTURIES and never once fooled around with your friends, you must be boring jghjkgh like surely idle curiosity prevails
“Jun Ho would never [kill a human].” Again, I must ask how long you’ve known him, Min Hyun
If vampires eyes are supposed to glow blue, why do Hae Soo’s glow red? Is it bc he’s an evil vampire? LOL
Unrelated to anything else but it’s funny when a show deliberately decides to take out someone’s earrings to fit their character better(?) because for both Jun Ho and Hae Soo you can see that their ears are pierced anyway and it’s more distracting than if they had earrings on
“You knew, didn’t you? That I liked you. But you pretended that you didn’t know, right?” JKGHKJGHKJHG it’s not that I think the Jun Ho should be romantically involved with Hae Soo it’s just that they get all the emotionally impactful dialogue lmao
LKGLKJGLKHGLKHG JUN HO JUST CHOKED HAE SOO TO DEATH? WHAT’S THE POINT OF BEING A VAMPIRE IF U CAN BE KILLED SO EASILY?? ALSO DOES THIS LIKE DOUBLE HIS SENTENCE IN TERMS OF DISINTEGRATING MURDERER DISEASE
“I killed [Hae Soo].” “You truly love [Min Hyun], don’t you?” Pour one out for Hae Soo, who Jun Ho’s bestie President Mi Ran did not give a fuck about
Min Hyun really said: Do me a favour and indulge my biting kink, Jun Ho
“If that’s what you want, then let’s not do what the other wants. Let’s be selfish.” It took them the full eight episodes to actually write some good romantic dialogue kjhgkjgh
Jun Ho said: I will NOT indulge your biting kink; however, I will sleep with you
It hasn’t occurred to me to question it until now, but is the school really aware and okay with the vampire living in their storage room? Surely not, right?
“I liked that you were by my side towards the end of my long, boring life.” Hahaha, I like your last words, Jun Ho
I don’t know why, but I wasn’t actually expecting Jun Ho to die. Huh!!
“I have lots of friends now.” Good for Min Hyun for being somewhat socially well-adjusted post Vampire Murder Trauma
Pretty shocked it didn’t work out for these two tho. Well, I don’t mind it being bittersweet, I think it actually improves my opinion on this show
Questions I am left with, at the end of this:
What vampire lore even exists in this show aside from drinking blood? Again, why were Hae Soo’s eyes red?
How does Mi Ran know Jun Ho? What is she President of? Why does she know so much about vampires?
Why couldn’t Jun Ho just arrange a blood bag from Min Hyun the way that Mi Ran was donating her blood to him? Is this a directly-from-the-well situation?
Why is the brother not on any of the acting credits for this show?
What does the brother think about Min Hyun’s dead vampire boyfriend, and why was he up in arms in the beginning but then didn’t care when Min Hyun slept over with Jun Ho lmao?
Is the main lead typecast into being a vampire now? That’s fun
How much time actually elapses from start to finish of their relationship?
How on Earth does this have an on-site 9 star rating? It’s fine, but definitely not up there in memorable experiences kjghjgh what a generous audience
