Plot

Ran is a 500-year-old vampire who chooses to live an ordinary life among human beings, despite having powers such as speed. She runs a make-up shop in the neighborhood of Mangwon in Seoul, but her life is still different compared to other women as she does not age and needs animal blood to survive. Things change when Lee So-nyeon, the new landlord's son, falls in love with Ran: her appetite for human blood comes back.

Critical reception

Pierce Conran of Screen Anarchy gave the following review: "Despite its appealing cocktail of quirk and genre conventions, Beautiful Vampire never quite goes beyond its modest ambitions as a light combination of popular genre conventions and lowbrow dramedy. Even at a svelte 72 minutes, it doesn't take long for the undemanding story and simplistic side characters to fall into repetitive patterns."[5]
