Thanks for the recap @solstices and for all the 2pm peppered throughout. I think you and the drama writer are competing on how many references can be snuck in 😂.

I also thought he'd try to make her fall in love with Do-sik, which I'd have been totally okay with. The actor playing Do-sik is really likeable and, at least so far, the character is likeable too unlike most SMLs.

This show is fun.. Its ridiculously hilarious, in a good way.
I love watching Woo-hyul getting scared or being pushed around by In-hae. He is just such a softie vampire with her.

I totally wanted him to be the wingman and I Hope he does that. That would be so much fun.

I like that his personality is just nice. He is not angry with his mates when they mess up, nor is he outright ragey when the gold is lost nor he throws a pity party for himself for reaching this level of poverty. He takes things in his stride and actually is willing to work towards a better life. He is not pulling the 'I am the rich chaebol how can you expect me to clean etc'.

I did not expect that twist. Its nice! Will the show surprise us or will it all be about 'first love'?

I miss all the references and meta, so appreciate the recaps for that!

That first pic just cracked me up. Not being able to watch this, I’m happy that vased on tgat pic at least, it seems that the goofball element is alive and well.

This show is so silly but in all the most charming ways. The episodes just zip by, and the laughs don't feel cheap (and I did laugh this time around, not just smile). I continue to love Cat Man because if a cat were human, that cat would absolutely be a sage philosopher with no real self-consciousness or regard for people. In addition, the joke about everyone in the metro wearing a black puffer jacket was spot-on (where I live, it's a black windbreaker, but same difference), and I live for every moment Woo-hyul discovers a modern convenience for the first time (the escalator scene was my personal favorite). That "kiss" also genuinely surprised me. Finally, I was very happy the show rejected indulging in either a straight-up love triangle or reincarnation story.

As I mentioned before, as a non-kpop fan, the only 2pm reference I got was the very direct one when In-Hae told Woo-hyul to meet the buyer of the coat at that exact time. That was cute, if a little on the nose. And that house! It's a perfect set for this show.

These episodes were so funny. I hope continues in that vein.

The best parts are when the leads are together. Otherwise I have more difficulties to focus, I really didn't care about the 2ML and his disease.

EP. 3 was funny as always but I hope they get past the tsundere phase soon. All the screaming and anger is getting a bit much and it's just the second week. It's all very valid on her part ofc, I would probably commit a crime if someone maxed out my credit card or kissed me against my permission, but the whole bit is getting tired. When do they start falling for each other 🥺🥺

Also I love how she's so poor, she's forced to live in shabby rooms with cockroaches for roommates and uses broken headphones... But she also has the latest Samsung foldable smartphone 🤣🤣

EP. 4: "how does he have more game when he just woke up" 💀💀
The poor guy is getting pepper sprayed next week?? Yeah, he makes the dumbest, creepiest move every episode but still... It's getting old, can he just catch a break??

Tbh, I prefered the idea of him trying to get her to fall for Discount Im Siwan, since he needs her blood when she's in love or whateve, but they gradually fall for each other. I think that trope is very cute.
Instead, it seems that he's gonna try to woo her at the same time as Discount Im Siwan for that optimal love triangle action bc who doesn't love those

Wonder what effect So-hee's character will have 👀👀 is she a vampire too? Was the red outfit a clue or just a joke?

Is the writer Taec's fan? The ML is called handsome every five minutes. Besides the FL obviously being his first love, the show is well written otherwise.

I am oblivious to 2PM references, but there is still plenty of fun besides, such as the two vampire buddies complaining about humans sucking the vampires dry by making it so difficult and expensive to get blood! Lol!
Woo-hyul working for an undertaker and taking a nap in the coffin - as you do as a vampire.

Woo-hyul is such an innocent, despite his age, and a a lovable softie, too. That cliff-hanger was a real surprise, well done, drama.

Oh, Solstice!! Thanks so much for the recap and the references to babes songs. You got all my heart with "Maybe she'll be back" one of my favourite early songs.

As for the drama I'm loving it and not only because Taec is the best at playing funny and cute, but because the comedy and all the ridiculousness is absolutely working for me.

I have the feeling that there is a very personal relationship between DoSik and HaeWon, more that just two people working together, maybe they both are from vampire slayers families? I'm also intrigued on how WooHyeol will react when he sees her.

Anyway, enjoying every minute and Taec looks!!

Thank you @solstices for the recap. You are obviously enjoying yourself. 😁
I enjoyed episode 4 as it was the first one that had me immersed. I was struck by the novel storyline that a character has Hae-Sun's face while our heroine seems to have her characteristics. It might be a new take on the reincarnation trope--which really, I have never disliked but fresh ideas are always welcome.
I do find myself with a touch of SLS despite Taecyeon's sweet vampire.

The odd episode was a bit weaker (some strained jokes, too much screeching, etc) than the even. I felt the same for Episodes 1 and 2. Too soon to call it a pattern? Still, overall, good fun.

I'm now thinking the triangle will be between FL (soul reincarnated) and 2FL (who merely looks like her). While I wanted the trope upended, this may be enough of a twist. As discussed upthread, our vampire is oh so vain. He'll likely believe (at first) the 2FL is the one, despite the clues. She looks the part and will likely butter him up, feed into his vanity. Of course, we all know she's evil. (That coat was not subtle!) Now, does she just want the house, or is she in the league of vampire hunters?

So perhaps at first our vampire be the wingman to 2ML to get the FL's blood hot while he pursues the 2FL himself in his mistaken belief? And in the process, will our OTP find themselves being attracted to each other despite the second leads? One can hope.

But of course, in the end, our vampire will understand the fallacy of his shallow ways (looks don't matter, etc). Defeat the evildoers (or perhaps truce out by sharing his blood with the sick 2ML). Our OTP reunited. The house saved and returned to all its nightclub glory! Amen.

If this theory is wrong, even better! I like a show that keeps us guessing.

I absolutely adore this show. Taec is killing this role! Who would've thought a vampire trying to be human and make a cold hearted girl fall in love can be this enterntaining. I am looking forward to see this poor vampire attempt to survive in modern Seoul. Also I wonder what sort of job he will end up keeping, if any. I am not familiar with the FL but I like her rapport with Taec onscreen.

@solstices Thank you for the recap.
You are right about the blink and miss funny scenes.

1.When Woo Hyeol asks for a brush and inkstone, the FL says," use a pen unless you want to be hit by a inkstone" and there was a sound effect of a whip snap or slap with Taec's hilarious reaction to it.
2. When the FL and SML go for dinner, the FL looks at the menu and asks the SML to pick the dishes not because the food is pricey, but because she has no clue about the dishes.😂😂

The drama is good and most of the credit goes to Taec for being effortlessly funny, but it gets draggy whenever there is obivious plot progression such as the SML being cursed and the butcher scheming to get rid of the mansion.

I'm really enjoying this show, it's got a kind of TOTNTails vibe with its wacky, ridiculousness that doesn't take itself seriously.
Compared to Kind the Land I think this show delivers more consistency with the comedic tone overall.
The two leads are playing off each other really well and the side character of Lee Sang Hae is hilarious, he easily steals the scenes he is in.
I look forward to the light hearted hijinks and just hope the show doesn't go really dark and trauma heavy.

I love this show because it is exactly what need in the middle of my exams. My most laughing out loud moment was when In Hae was bowing in thanks to our SML and her hair hit Taec in the face. It made me laugh way more than intended. I have to say I love our Cat Man. He is just hilarious and his mannerisms really seem like a cat in human form

@solstices Thank you for the recap. So, I have a theory that Do-shik could be descendant from those vampire hunters that were mentioned in episode one. He is definitely more than what he seems.

Oh man, I am LOVING this drama. Nothing better than a drama you love airing on Mondays and Tuesdays, making that otherwise dreaded start of the week so much better.

I wouldn't put my money on it, but I would love it so much if the FL isn't descended from ML's first love. Not only would it be a really fresh plot point, especially in Kdrama land, it also would IMO be a little too coincidental if the FL happens to be descended from BOTH his beloved butler and his first love (unless maybe the butler got there in the first place because of the first love). I'm also wondering if his first love is now a vampire. Also, like, how would his FL have any descendants if she died in that flashback scene?

First love is definitely a vampire isn't she?

That feral vampire that Wool-Hyul saves Hae-Sun from in the flashback is the first time we meet and none other than the impertinent young bloodthirsty vampire Ri-Manhwhi

New to posting here, sorry if I miss some nuances. But I am delighted by the vampire buddies in particular. Has anyone else been struck by the smallness of their fangs? They look adorably teeny to me. And I love both those actors...
