In Transylvania 2006, a sharp needle of a mosquito is driven into the neck of Dracula. That same year the vampire-blooded mosquito is brought to Seoul on a DHL. Very worked up detective NAH Do-yul became the victim of the needle penetration, turning him into a human at daytime and a vampire at night. What will become of this hapless detective?


This was a wonderful movie! I loved the whole story and synopsis. Even add the element that he was a bad cop in the beginning was a great twist.

This was laugh out loud funny. The idea that if he got a "hard-on" was what led him to his vampire awareness was a totally good thought. So, of course, everytime he needed to switch over to the "dark" side he just needed his trusty PSP (loaded with porn) or Playboy mag to get him going. Even a girl with short skirts, big boobs, and long legs, oh what a hoot!

My only gripe to this story was the end. I'm concluding they left this off for a sequel. I hope so. The end left me befuzzled because there wasn't any conclusion with his girlfriend. And the fact, we all hoped for him to go back to "normal".

This was my second vampire movie today.....thankfully this one was waaaay better and left me feeling lots better about the movie industry. I was starting to think I'd seen all the good ones and were now left with duds........

A young woman named Hyun-chae is on train looking through an art book. As she turns the pages, she discovers a written message underneath a picture of bears playing together in the springtime. She reads:

I like you so much.

Like a bear in springtime, I know your secrets

... you're like a lovely bear.

This is just the beginning of my love for you.

Next book is Gustave Caillebette 'Young Man at His Window.

Hyun-chae is an unlucky girl who has trouble finding love. Born with bad manners, she is unable to keep a guy for very long. Throughout her life, she has been unsuccessful with love, but goes on through life with her bad manners and pure honesty.

Her father, an alcoholic, a heavysmoker, and a writer, often counts on Hyun-chae to bring him art books from the library, saying that they help him think better. Hyun-chae, desperate as she is to fall in love, fails to see that her best friend from childhood, Dong-ha came back from the military to be with her. Instead, Chae-hyun becomes obsessed with the man that has written the love notes inside the art books, believing that they are meant for her. With this thought in mind, she seeks out the writer with a determined state of mind, believing that every man she meets could possibly be this mere stranger. But are those library love notes really meant for her?

OMG! I can't believe I put this movie off. I tried watching it but for some reason I thought it was going to be boring as hell. But I came across it again and the story line still seemed interesting to me. So I chugged through the first part and actually am glad I finished it.

This story is so moving. When love is in your face staring at you, do you ignore it because you think the true love you want can't be that close? Chae-hyun was an idiot because Dong-ha as cute as a button WAS RIGHT THERE. Right freakin' there doing whatever was possible to show her how much he loved her. Come on girls, don't we all want someone to cherish us that much? To only think of how to make us (girls, women) happy? I sure as hell do. This guy went out of his way to make her ramen when she came home and told him that she was craving ramen but it was too late. He didn't care and went out in the middle of the night to do it for her. How many guys do we know who would do that for us?

I really loved this because Dong-ha fought for her. And let her go when she realized she wasn't Vincent (the true love she thought she wanted but wasn't real). *sigh* Love, Sarang, Amor.......

What a strange but yet wonderful thing..............

Umm? Would you dump this hunk? Hell, freakin' NO! I'm now looking through all his movies to see if there is anything more I like. I love him in this movie!!!
