The premise

When Jo Yang Sun is driven out of house and home after her father is framed for a crime, she is forced to crossdress in order to make ends meet as a bookseller, where she meets Kim Sung Yeol, a handsome, but mysterious scholar who is actually a vampire. Meanwhile, an evil presence at the royal palace stops at nothing to keep the Crown Prince from claiming his rightful throne.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the shadowy intrigues of the Joseon Dynasty, this lavish Korean historical drama pulls viewers into a world where a cash-strapped young woman disguises herself as a man to survive — only to find herself entangled with a dangerously compelling vampire scholar. Their unlikely bond unfolds beneath the long shadow of a malevolent force threatening the royal court itself. Equal parts gothic romance and political thriller, the series blends lush period aesthetics with fangs-and-intrigue tension. Fans of slow-burn supernatural romance will find plenty to sink into.
