This story was interesting but not captivating. I wish the story would have focused more on the families of the stones and more of a backstory as that would have made a much more compelling story.

The Good

Stands out from a lot CDramas in which it isn’t heavily focused on romance or even more so the romance is subtle. It does attempt to tell a story about a vampire and his journey to undo his curse and there is a lot of action that keeps things interesting. Fight sequences are done well from the perspective of a vampire. Everyone tends to have different lore when it comes to vampires but the main makings were there. Acting was done well from all the cast. The costumes were really nice and sets were decent.

The Bad

Had a lot of consistency issues that led to many plot holes. His vampirism seemed to only be there when the situation called for it or because the script is telling us but other times it seemed as if he no longer had special abilities during critical moments (e.g. super hearing, fast speed, flying, etc). This made many situations no longer make sense. The relationship between the main couple wasn’t always clear. Sometimes it seems as if they were a couple and other times they were more like father and daughter. It was written a little strange and would have been better if they didn’t make Mi Lan so childlike. Too much focus was placed on the cat and mouse game with Shen Zhi Heng and Li Ying Liang that it became a little redundant to the story. Censorship is odd here. The actual fictional vampire stuff can’t be shown but killing of humans with guns can. Make it make sense.
