HeartBeat is a riot! I have genuinely laughed in every episode, usually several times. The male lead is handsome, but even more impressive is his comic timing-he's very funny (watch the milk maid or shrimp scenes and don't laugh--lol!). He also has a soft side that works very well for the series--he is very much not a stereotypical scary vampire (though he can be menacing). Bringing a character from 100 years ago to today would be a stunning difference, and I love that the actor is allowed the vulnerability to show that--he's not "too cool."
The female lead has the same strengths--funny and vulnerable. She's quite pretty, but not over the top glamorous. That works so well for her character! She has a mind of her own, and strong drive to succeed. She's a wonderful character for the audience to empathize with!
The supporting cast is strong, and the special effects (what there are) work well. I'm iffy on the vampire friends, but they fit the 'over the top' goofiness of friend characters in many K-dramas.
8 episodes in and I already don't want it to end!
