I just finished the drama for the second time in a few years interval and I have to say I'm still in love. I'm older now and can understand more of the concepts that I ignored for handsome male leads and the love story when I was fifteen. This was an impactful drama which is what movies should be about, they should teach you and engage all your emotions be it joy,sorrow,mirth or incredulity and this did just that. I empathized with Lee Yeongo, cheered when he started learning to feel even if it was just a little, felt sad and understood Dr Hyeon moral delimma.

I'm sad it ended with fourteen episode but I will definitely watch it again and I hope someone else gives it a chance and falls in love like I did.

This is an amazing show, so amazing that I wished I hadn't watched it so early so I could avoid the agonizing wait for S2. I'm a novelist myself and can wholeheartedly applaud Rolin Jones and the entire team writing and creating this work. They bring out theme's that allow the viewers to be part of the entire process, we can feel for Louis while still berating him, love Lestat while realizing that his actions are not always the best and find Claudia gruesome but understand how she got there. They involved the audience into this moral quandary, which is rare.

For those who are annoyed with the adaptation I have one thing to say, human's should be innovative, test boundaries, how can we make something great if we just exactly copy the blueprint of our ancestors, we're meant to use them as a guide to make our own beautiful creations. Watch this with that in mind, without constantly comparing and you'll find that this story still has the core of Anne Rice in it.

Overall though I highly recommend this.
