Drama Digest

Junho is a vampire and is about to die. To survive, he’ll have to swallow pure blood and transform into a human. He meets Min-hyun one day while seeking for this pure blood. However, another vampire named Hae-soo, who is aware of Jun’s traumas, forces Minhyun and Junho to become estranged. What challenges will Junho confront in order to live a regular human life while protecting Minhyun?

The Feel-Good Part

You’ll enjoy it when a vampire is truly lethal and confronted with the moral dilemma of living a really long life. The idea of a vampire wishing to transform into a human rather than the other way around is intriguing.

You’ll appreciate that the college student didn’t simply flee, but he’s a fool to be alone with vampires. The production value of the series is high.

The Disappointing Factor

There were several strange camera angles and too many close-ups, as well as far too many filler flashbacks and an extreme blur filter that makes the vampire seem like a ghost. The explanation from ten years ago was disappointing; there was more to it, but basically, the main vampire was foolish, and his treatment of his companion (for hundreds of years) at the conclusion was terrible. When you think about it, Jun Ho was actually worse.

In-Depth Analysis

Jun Ho, a vampire on the verge of extinction, and Min Hyun, a human with pure blood, have a lovely and bloody university romance. Jun Ho is a vampire on the verge of death. To survive, he must swallow pure blood and therefore transform into a human. He encounters Min Hyun, a human with pure blood, one day while seeking for this pure blood. However, another vampire called Hae Soo, who is aware of Jun Ho’s childhood trauma, causes a rift between Min Hyun and Jun Ho. What challenges will Jun Ho confront as he tries to live a regular human existence while also protecting Min Hyun?

Star Power

In this small role, you’ll find the ukulele actor extremely endearing; he was soft and appealing without being feeble or passive. They needed to remove characters and focus on the vampire and college student’s romance; they spend around two to three hours together but are soulmates.

The acting, on the other hand, was not particularly fantastic; it could have been better, but that’s acceptable because, in my opinion, it didn’t have a significant impact on the tale.

Overall Opinion

Kissable Lips is a daydreaming activity for children. The plot is illogical. Beyond their goal, the characters are barely sketched. The tale was alright, not spectacular, but watchable, and the time range in which it all takes place is unknown.
