Sun Woo-Hyeol (TaecYeon) is a vampire who desperately wants to become human. He is told that if he sleeps in a particular coffin for 100 years, he will wake up human. Joo In-Hae (Won Ji-An) is the descendant of Woo-Hyeol's butler, entrusted with keeping his house in order during the long sleep. Unfortunately, she wakes Woo-Hyeol ONE day before his 100 years are up, leaving him in a half-human, half-vampire state. Since they both lay claim to ownership of the house, some arrangements need to be made…

Starts out 100 years in the past. Felt a bit low-budget or indie from the outset, and I noticed some sloppy editing, but by episode 2 I settled in for a good story and that took precedence. A few more episodes, and I was hooked. Won Ji-An is fascinating to watch; she delivers all of her lines with a deadpan tone and a 5000-mile stare. And she doesn't back down when confronted, she stands her ground, states her case, and moves on.
The end, though…granted, the secondary plot about Shin Do-Sik needing the blood of a half-vampire was a weak string to begin with, but it just became a muddled mess by the end. The resolution was to nobody's liking, left all sorts of things unexplained, and major plot points (e.g. the missing gold) were glossed over unceremoniously in the finale. Disappointing for an otherwise very strong supernatural rom-com.
