Episode 1
Absolutely dumb, Joo In Hae inherited a house that she went to visit at night. She found a basement where she can obviously a coffin.
She is so stupid that somehow she does not know that it was a coffin. When you see a coffin at a strange house alone at night, would you open the coffin?
Joo In Hae thought is should be ok. She opened it and found a body inside. She stood there just watching it and then it opened his eyes.
Finally, Joo In Hae was scared.
But the body was now fully animated and he introduced himself as Seon Woo Hyeol, the real owner of the house. He said that Butler Joo had been looking after him. He was grateful for the generational family of Butler Joo who looked after him.
But then he smelled the blood from the wood of Joo In Hae and made him peckish. He can’t understand it because he was supposed to be fully human.
Then he realised Joo In Hae woke him up a day early from the 100 years that he should be sleeping and metamorphosing into a full human.
So now he is only half human, half vampire and he was feeling peckish with annoyance. He was going to bite Joo In Hae on the neck but she bit him first.
He was so shocked he ended up on a dead faint on the ground.
Episode 2
Joo In Hae took him to the hospital. After failed resuscitation, they declare him dead.
But he was not dead, of course.
Anyway, Mr Ko, the cat finally appeared to Seon Woo Hyeol.
Mr Ko noticed immediately that Woo Hyeol is neither a human or a vampire.
He told her that because a girl woke him up a day early.
Mr. Ko told him that he was strange. A woman can’t just open a coffin. It is shut tight and made of a stone slab. Mr Ko said that the girl is the key to Woo Hyeol turning fully human.
He had to keep the girl safe at all costs otherwise he dies with the girl.
Episode 3
Seon Woo Hyeol found Joo In Hae’s card. He went shopping spree and maxed out the card.
Of course, Joo In Hae was livid. Seon Woo Hyeol told her that he has a stash of gold in the basement.
He did find the box but when he opened it. It was already empty.
Seon Woo Hyeol was helped by his vamprie friend to find a job but he just can’t settle to one.
Anyway, Joo In Hae was in the living room sitting below a huge chandelier. Seon Woo Hyeol felt this neck throbbing and new Joo In Hae was in trouble.
He was able to grab her out of the way of the falling chandelier. She was in his his arms while they were afloat. He had a compulsion to kiss her as he saw his old love, Na Hae Won on her.
Episode 4
She ended up slapping him but she did not actually mind about the kiss.
She was so fierce, he thought that she could not be his sweet gentle Hae Won.
Anyway, he got himself a janitorial job where Joo In Hae works as a school nurse.
