Eh, not as good as the first.  It started out ok, with new hair cuts all around- deliberately making the girl look more feminine, making us think that something might actually happen between them this time.  A lot more staring at her neck this season too.  Also, another very very sexy vampire showing up, looking super super sexy with red eyes (wow, Kwon Hyun Sang, you're not the cute little soldier from King 2 Hearts any more!)  The arching plot gets super complicated, but then doesn't really get solved (an attempt to get a 3rd season) and we are left with a cliff hanger ending.  Also, they focused too much on other peeps and not enough on our main vampire man.  They also had some episodes devoted completely to fan service, since we'll probably never have a real romance between them, as he's a vampire and can't love a normal girl cause he'd probably just end up biting her.  I'd like there to be a 3rd season, but I don't think that will ever happen, and they've already done a spin off so that is further proof.

I don't normally like vampire anything.  I feel they are an overused not so cool monster option.  But I actually liked this.  I'll admit I watched this initially for Yeon Jeong Hun, but from the first moment I liked what they did.  It's like the Korean Law & Order only the prosecutor is a vampire who uses his skills to solve the crimes.  He can like "read blood" to recreate the scene, and if he drinks a bit of the victim's blood he can see their last few moments to get clues as to who their killer is.  Then it's more of a serial with new cases each episode, but also an over arching storyline of him trying to find the vampire who killed his little sister and made him a vampire too.  Another good point is the girl.  Lee Young Ah plays an awesome bad-a prosecutor chick who might have roots in the mafia.  She's never the damsel in distress, and if she is, she puts up a really good fight and never looks like a sissy.  Yes, this is making vampires sexy, which is my least favorite thing... but he was sexy before he was a vampire and it's not about that, it's about solving crime, which is awesome.
