I really wanted to love this drama since I adored its origin (web comic "Orange Marmalade"). It's cute, and the actors exceeded my expectations. I liked the interactions between the leads, and the premise of a shy female vampire in love w/ music is freaking adorable. However, the script writers sucked. Why, oh why. . . WHY would any sane person randomly insert 5 episodes of a different timeline without ever referring back to the main plot? This decision resulted in a cheesy, messy, and cringe-worthy filler set in ancient . . . China? Korea? . . . Anyways. Aside from the 5-episodes long filler, this story was decent. Yes, it was cheesy. Yes, there are many, MANY cliches. But at the end of the day, cuteness slayed. If not for the fillers, I would rate this 7.5/10 just because of the main leads. Give this a try, but beware the sudden transition into ancient Korea!
