My Heart Is Beating

I am enjoying this absolutely fresh take on Vampires led by Ok Taecyeon. He is such a treat to watch as he plays the role of a hapless vampire out if his time and comfort zone.

I must say it keeps me entertained each episode with none of the cringy scenes I see in some other dramas. I also see many theories popping up by viewers which means it's making us think and imagine what's gonna happen next. The chemistry between the 2 leads is very natural and improves with each episode. Won Jian is new to me but I am enjoying her acting a lot too.

Recommend anyone who wants a light hearted fun ride to check this out on Amazon Prime or HiTV.

Such a wild mix of refreshing ideas (the idea of the weak vampire/male lead, which has no problem with being the cleaning lady), great actors, great female lead and terrible terrible conclusion, cheap scenery and anticlimactic last few episodes. To put viewers through that and than give them such an unsatisfying ending, that really has no justification in the story, because the whole thing is fantastic and implausible to begin with, so why not see it through until the end...?

And why force a hardcore comedy to become a drama in the last episodes?

Really bad writing.

Tacyeon has a great talent for the comical and the female lead is super straight and not comical for a second, which works really nicely together.

I love Taecyeon acting since Bring it on Ghost, so I really wanted to like this one!

The first half of the series held so much potential, drawing viewers in with its intriguing premise and captivating characters. However, the second half turned into a disaster.

The initial episodes were great and the characters were engaging, and their dynamics seemed to be setting the stage for a compelling narrative. Wasn't a huge fan of the female lead though, too much screaming for my taste.

But then, the drama took an inexplicable nosedive into chaos. The plot became convoluted, and the once-promising characters started making choices that were completely out of character and illogical. It felt as though the writers had lost their way, throwing in random twists and turns without any regard for consistency or coherence.

The pacing, which had been steady in the beginning, became jarring and uneven. Key plot points were rushed through, while other scenes dragged on endlessly, leaving viewers both confused and frustrated.

The ending also felt like a slap in the face to anyone who had invested time and emotion into the drama and was so unsatisfying that it left a bitter taste in the mouths of viewers who had been hoping for a rewarding payoff.

In the end, Heartbeat is a perfect example of how a promising start can be utterly squandered by poor execution. The dramatic decline from an intriguing beginning to a messy and disappointing mess makes it a prime example of what happens when a drama loses its direction and fails to deliver on its potential.

You missed half of your kdrama life if you don't get to watch Heartbeat. This is not your typical romcom drama. This is farway that "globally overrated" romcom this season that's too cheesy and unbearably cliched one. Heartbeat has that interesting plot, magnificent actors especially Taecyeon. He is just so amazing on this drama. This drama proves that kiss scenes are not necessary to make our feets curl. The comedic scenes made by taecyeon is so naturally delivered that shows how good his sense of humor is in real life. You'll gonna love him here I promise you. Check this one out, you will not regret it. And Taec here is so so gorgeous.

The beginning of the story, the comedy, the friendship, and romance are all great. The actors did a great job portraying their characters. Unfortunately, I don't see that there's much chemistry between the main male and female leads.

Also, I think Rose is prettier than In Hae. I think she would have been a better main female lead. Then again, that's just me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say.

To go through all of the things In Hae and Seon Woo Hyeol did to finally feel what it's like to love and be loved, then for the them to end up that way is so disappointing.

It has a happy ending in some ways but it's not very satisfying.

If you want a complete and happy ending with closure, then skip this drama.

From the beginning until the end of this drama, the theme is, "to have loved and lost is better than to not have loved at all."
