    MY THOUGHTS :

       It's already been years since this drama was released and I was just able to watch it this year. I never thought that the plot was this good and vampire and medical drama was combined in this drama. Though the first episode was not that appealing, when they become surgeons the story became more interesting to watch.

    The idea of vampires was medical drama was already good but adding the fact that you can be a vampire because of a virus was superb. It is somehow a new way to make the impossible scenarios became possible. It reminded me of the America Series 'The Originals' wherein they were witches who made themselves a vampire.

    All in all, though there were scenes that were prolonged and redundant, it was a nice and superb fantasy medical drama.

    MY PERSONAL RATE:

    9.2 / 10.0
