daytime without having to drink human blood perfectly. She successfully leads a double life as a special effects make-up artist, but can’t help but feel trivial in front of the building owner who is known to be above God. Even though Ran maintains her young looks regardless of age, the butcher in the neighborhood who is almost like a friend provided her with daily bread of ox blood without any doubt, and sometimes even offered her a cocktail. After a development boom took over Mangwon-dong, Ran, who was a poor vampire and makeup artist even after living for 500 years, struggles to protect her dressing room and her almost like a friend’s old store. One day, Ran smells the scent of Jinyi who had loved her as she is in the past from a boy she comes across in the alley. Her heart instinctively starts to pound. Imagine a vampire who is in trouble because of the gentrification sweeping through the neighborhood, this is a hilarious situation and the storyteller stands out by comparing the vampire’s dangerous instinct with trembling from eternal love. This film was originally a web drama that gained popularity on the online platform. Being old aged at 500 years old, Ran is careless and a little behind the times who is played magnificently by Jeong Yeon-joo. The role of the boy that captures her heart is played by Song Kang with his uniquely fresh charms. In addition to the unprecedented love story between a couple where the woman is the older of the couple, there is also a touching story about the neighbors who we must learn to live together.
