I mean…. In a nutshell, Show did not hold back on the angst in the least. I read recaps from time to time and even those made me roll my eyes. The ending is frustrating indeed, and my take is that it’s one of those open-ended ones intended for audiences to interpret as they like. My quick review is here, if it helps! And Lee Soo Hyuk is quite mesmerizing. Bloody mess indeed! I’m live-watching too many things right now, and Goblin is starting tonight! I agree, a good writer would make the changeover seem much more seamless and even be able to come up with a better connecting storyline (and resolve all of the randomness!). Yes it had gore and serious vampire type actions, but it also had humanistic trends which made it interesting. Both are repetitive plot-wise, always circling around the same thing, and then both shows made LJK angsty, without giving him room to actually use his power (guns or vampire powers, as the case may be). From the overwrought, dramatic moments, to the quiet, subtler beats, Lee Jun Ki pours so much feeling into Sung Yeol that it’s easy to believe Sung Yeol’s pain. Oh yes it does mess with your own experience doesn’t it? When some space clears up on my drama plate, I think I’ll dive in. All through the finale, Show displays an extremely odd sense of time. Needless to say, the series did not disappoint. I don’t know…. I appreciated that the vamping was so ugly, bloody and beastly, it explained why Scholar wanted to end his existence, because I don’t think I would buy any sort of ”woe to me, doomed to be rich and fabulous for all eternity”. The gwi Lee Soo Hyuk was so hawwwtas and i did see him as pixie more of a vamp!….But what did surprise me is seeing Shim Changmin with his role portrayal as Prince Lee Yoon, he’s good. 1 Details 2 Beschreibung 3 Besetzung 4 Produktion 5 Auszeichnungen 6 Trivia 7 Galerie Englischer Titel: Koreanischer Titel: Episoden: Sender: Ausstrahlungszeitraum: Ausstrahlungstage: Originaler Soundtrack: Ähnliche… Against his will, Sung-Yeol becomes a Guardian Vampire equipped with a special robe that protects him from sunlight. She makes Yang Sun so earnest and hardworking and sunny that it’s hard not to like her. Coz in the end, even though we get to a happy ending, I feel like I don’t even really know how we got there. I’ve yet to properly dive into SFD as like you I’m a bit hesitant to start something that long. and was cringing so much lol but he’s improved quite abit here. An uneven, protracted, albeit pretty mess. He legit blew me away, in some scenes. I like vampire stories, but I need some logic and to be explained clearly what a vampire can do or not, what kills them or not… I mean,does the ending explain why we needed the secret journal from 200 years ago to kill Gwi and why no one (like the secret organization vampire watchers) never came up with another plan??? It IS puuuuretty. [SPOILER] A lot of the time, all the business about the Lustful Student felt like it was going over my head in a jumbled mess. Those are the worst! C’mon now, saving someone with mouth-to-mouth is not kissing, nor is it supposed to be romantic. Mostly pix, vids and other k-things that I want to share with you guys but I feel don't warrant a whole post. . In those moments, I truly believed him, as a character. I haven’t read the webtoon, but I must say that LJK really looks the part! like Jeez. I’ve watched Arang and Scandal and a couple more. For the record, I’m not against angst, and have managed to enjoy heavily melodramatic dramas in the past. . No pressure, of course! So true – fan threads can really distract you from your watch experience, especially if you don’t agree with the general sentiments. Haha.. . Yussss…. Hospital dramas aren’t my cup of tea either, so I can understand why Good Doctor may not have worked for you. I hear Lee Soo Hyuk’s doing nicely in Neighborhood Hero, if that helps.
