Doesn't live up to it's potential

A big FAT dissapointment!

Let's be honest, just as many other's , I've started watching this drama cauz of Teac. The initial plot of a vampire that has been sleeping for 100 years opened up many hilarious ideas in my mind, and I was excited!

Oh boy, so much lost potential... Here we go:

1) One-dimensional characters: You have the good, bad, funny, dependent, sad, etc. Nobody is interesting in this series. When there is a change in a character's habit, it goes 180 and doesn't make any sense.
2) Scenes are dragged out and boring: Yes dude we know you're bad, you don't have to tell us every scene and every episode.
3) Too many flash backs (too many!): even though we saw a specific scene 5 minutes ago, the editors decide that we as watchers forgot this, and repeat the scene again. Without the flashbacks, this series is about 9 episodes.
4) The story has many characters but no depth: There is a vampire and a mean girl, we are told that they're in love (chemistry level is 0%), one or the other has to die to let the other live. THAT'S IT!
5) No chemistry beween the actors: Not only the supposed romantic characters, but also their friends, family and neighbors. I got the feeling that this series was a side job for everyone involved. Many supporting actors are very good actors, it is very specific to this show that they don't shine.
6) Not a funny vampire: Other than the first two episodes and the old-timy language the lead speaks, nothing funny happened concerning a 100 year old vampire that wakes up in this day and era. I was expecting him to be adjusting to phones, cars, music in a box which you can hold in your hand, or the overal culture changes! Non of this stuf happened!! How funny would it have been that they'd put him in a 3D cinema for example.
7) No romance: IMPORTANT NOTE: I have seen Ji An Won (Joo In-hae) in other series, and she was/is lovely! But everything that she did and said in this series annoyed me so much, she was so bad written and coached.

In my honest opinion, I believe everyone in this show did their best to make something of what they'd recieved, but were badly written and directed. It's a shame for all the hard work that the team has put in for this show.
