Tacky and Weak Plot, But Still Better Than Twilight!
So yes, it's a tacky drama about a vampire, but I was only interested because of the romance and the eye candy. I mean, who wouldn't be? Sure, some scenes had me scratching my head and wondering, "Is that your version of a vampire?" But then I thought to myself, at least he’s not sparkling in the sun.
The story revolves around Shen Zhi Heng, a century-old vampire, and Mi Lan, a blind girl who saves him from assassination. Cue the brooding vampire and the damsel in distress. Their relationship could have been the highlight of the show for me, but even that fell flat. I found myself pressing the 10-second forward button just to get to their scenes together, hoping for some chemistry, but even that was unsatisfying.
The only consistently interesting part of the drama? The fashion choices. The male lead looks like a model who just walked off a runway straight into the drama, with zero acting skills to back it up.
The plot features a corrupt military director and his shady boss trying to uncover Shen Zhi Heng’s secrets while taking over various businesses. It’s your typical power-hungry villain subplot, nothing to write about.
The whole thing could have been good if they had stuck to the theme and invested in better stories, plots, and actors. In the end, the romance wasn’t even satisfying. If you're in it for the fashion and eye candy, this one's for you. But if you're looking for a good story and satisfying romance, you might want to keep looking.
