Korean Drama "Sweet Blood" would probably have more appeal a decade ago, when Twilight was at the top of the pop culture, and vampire stories sprout out from everywhere. Now, they are considered a past trend and a bit cliche, especially if they are not handled with care. And, unfortunately, and although the drama had potential, it didn't ride the wave of strong episodes such as the first ones and blow off towards the ending.
The beginning of the drama, first of all, was quite intriguing. The story about the half human, her sassy fiance, the vinery business and the one myth were all pretty interesting. Unfortunately, everything resolved way too easily, which robs the satisfaction of the ending. The romance was weak as well, with just a few moments in the ending to support the whole love story and a one sided puppy love for the rest of the drama. That also ruined the love triangle, as the weak main couple did not support well the antagonistic plotlines.
Another major factor that made the drama look old, in addition, was the make up. White canvases with over the top red lips that screamed 'vampire' from miles were too much and made the drama look like a badly made tv movie, something that, otherwise, was not.
Finally, the performances from the actors and actresses of the cast were all great and the characters quite enjoyable.
So, overall, five out of ten.
