It's a pity such memorable characters are stuck in a story so middling.

The script reads like someone wrote a completely serious Joseon-era vampire mystery, and then some producer arbitrarily decided to throw Detective K and Seo-pil in there to lighten the mood.

Overall, the starring pair [Kim Myung-min and Oh dal-su] are good, you do get a laugh out of them in some scenes, and the film is a pretty-looking, albeit inaccurate, depiction of Joseon era.
