the title isn't there just for show at least
wow. this was probably one of the most disjointed k BLs I've ever seen. and that's saying a lot for k BLs.
i can forgive the obviously lower production, and even some of the not-good acting, but the script? wow. i just....had no idea what was going on half the time.
time just kinda jumps around randomly from the daytime to night, characters have...a little bit of a visible reason for why they're acting like they are? kinda? i've watched this twice and i really don't understand why either of the leads like each other, like, at all, besides physical attraction, which doesn't really work with the conflict given in the plot....unless I want to believe that their love for each other is shallow which. eh. either way, it was hard for me to really understand why junho ended up killing his 500-year something long friend for minhyun, or where minhyun's faith in junho not accidentally (or purposefully) killing him came from.
also, what was up with junho's friend sudden over the top villain acting after the convo about junho's ex and the hug? it was such a 180 degree turn from how mostly-normal he was acting before that i got confused and genuinely thought he was a random third vampire dude who came into the movie.
me being baffled about the plot aside, the leads' acting and chemistry was surprisingly decent for such a bad movie. they're not AMAZING actors, but decent enough that you can believe that the lead characters actually like each other, even if you have no idea why. junho's actor had that predatory "i want to eat you" vibe down well, while minhyun's actor gave off the "innocent naïve prey" energy in return well.
the chemistry is a bit off in the beginning because of that, but that's actually not a bad thing as minhyun was probably more confused/unsure than fully all-in with what's going on, and it works better later when they're both fully into it rather than the predator-prey dynamic at the start. you can also visibly see this in the good kiss they gave us later lol.
the sad ending makes...sense i guess, but i do wish they would've tried for a happy ending even if it wouldn't have made sense or been too contrived because. honestly it would've matched the rest of this movie. it really is not that good.
tl;dr: didn't disappoint with the kiss, decent acting and chemistry, terrible writing.
