#sun woo hyeol

[leedongwook]

“My long-time hobby is observing humans in love. The flushed cheeks, the red lips that whisper love. Thump, thump. Your heart races, pumping blood throughout your entire body. It's fascinating. My heart has never beaten once. Because I've never been human, I have never died, nor have I ever actually lived. I wanted to know what love that makes your heart beat felt like. Since then I've tried to become human."

This show is about a vampire

He is the vampire

Heartbeat | Episode 04

[imaginariaextraordinaire]

How does a drama go from being as charming as Heartbeat was in these early episodes, to the insipid mess that it ended up to be in the last episode? It's not only that the sad ending feels discordant with the rest of the show. Nothing added up, ultimately, and every plot twist was solved in ways that felt stupid and/ or contrived.

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

One of the things I'd liked about In-hae being the woman Woo-Hyeol fell in love was that it put forward the idea that love doesn't have to be bound to a past, but rather that you can have new experiences. But in the end, In-hae ends up being Hae-sun, and we're back to the tired old trope without being given any explanation of why he didn't realise she was Hae-sun when he tasted her blood the first time. And why does Woo-hyeol think finding In-hae's father will make up for her losing her boyfriend?

Similarly, no explanations of Do-sik's 'illness' or the animosity with Man-hwi. If Do-sik's family has been because they kill half-vampires then Woo-hyeol's state shouldn't be such a jaw-dropping novelty to other vampires. Why did Man-hwi disappear when stabbed by Do-sik's blade while Woo-hyeol's body survives intact? Meanwhile, Hae-won turns into a bitch for no reason and stops being a bitch with equally little explanation. Also on the no-explanation list is the way the neighbourhood is all pot luck meals and friendship despite the much-desired redevelopment falling through.

It's as though somewhere around episode 14, writers Jung Seung-hoo and Kim Ha-na decided it's too much work to write a romantic comedy and so took sharp turn towards a sad ending.

The entire cast of Heartbeat deserved better writing. Hmph.

Bonus...

Are you going to show me your fangs or something?
