Amazingly good so far. I am quite a fan of Korean TV shows, so I'm speaking out of experience when I say: this is one of the best series ever. Don't get frightened by the fact that the main character is actually a vampire - this story is not like any other vampire-tale. It is not a sappy love story (no examples here, everyone know which one I'm referring to), nor a blood-soaked horror, but definitely not a kid's show. Although you'll get everything in a perfect package, as you'd expect from a good Korean product. ;) The story is very well developed, as are the characters too. The action scenes are enjoyable. Gags are refreshing. Still, more than half of the show is upcoming, so A LOT of things will happen. Romance too. So stay updated, watch "Blood", worry, laugh and let yourself to be entertained by this Korean delicacy.

I have watched several KDramas which cry out of an inconclusive or even sad ending, but spoiled by contrived happy, happy nonsense. It must be a law of some kind. Having said that, some characters are so engaging I yearn for their safety / return / miraculous escape.

Like too many of these shows, they'd be much better with tighter dialogue and fewer episodes.

'Blood', of course, asks us to suspend disbelief but they do a good job confusing the viewer with medical mumbo-jumbo.

The characters are not one-dimensional, indeed there is a fairly good attempt to understand the motives of the evil guys. The acting (as alway) is very good - in a soapy, melodramatic way. And as with almost all KDramas the production is absolutely first class.

But please... the ending??? Was a second series planned but never green-lit?

There is an entertaining and sufficiently different vampire story here. The main flaw is there are too many episodes. It should have been 16 at most. Some of the technical jargon is tiring. Many scenes walking along the corridors talking could have been cut. The dialog is quite well written in parts plus some funny moments are quite unexpected. Ahn Jae Hyun looks like a vampire so he is well cast if he slightly underacts a bit. Better than overacting. His real life soon to be wife Ku Hye Sun is pretty here and her character is suitably feisty. Look out for a bright and cheerful Jung Hae In supporting role. Ji Jin Hee is a memorable villain smiling yet menacing. When he shows his anger it is effective. I liked that the bad guys were trying to do something for mankind if too ruthlessly. Unfortunately the ending isn't satisfactory by any means.

The series is good but the profile picture doesn't fit very well. And the ending is beautiful but it doesn't make much sense.

I'm not that much in Korean dramas because I'm not a fan. But this one? I like it very much. It's not exactly a vampire story. It's about a story of a virus that turns the host into a vampire. And it contains love story. What I hate the most is love story. But maybe, the director's representation skills, it doesn't make me feel so boring.

I don't know how many times I've watched this one. Still, I want to watch over and over again. The story line is too good and the performances are great. It's totally worth spending time.
