Its the remake of the 2000 anime film of the same name.
I never watch the anime so I don't know if its a similar to the movie.

I love vampire movies!
Most of them are horror but this one is action!
The action scenes are great. Some nice scenes
But why some vampires are so easy to slay some so damn hard? LOL
The most what trouble me is always the ending!
The ending still sucks! So what? An open ending?
Also the friendship between the 2 main characters.
I don't see the chemistry. That was pity.

Gianna Jun is one of my favo Korean actress.
This is her first English language movie.
She still have to improve in that case.
Beside English she also got some Japanese language scene
That was so weird LOL ...
But a great work for her to play a different role than before

I don't have fate with 'Fate' so Il Mare replace it!
What a wonderful movie with a wonderful story!
Although it won't happen in real life I think LOL
The story was actually predictable!
But in the last moment you don't know will it be a happy ending or bad one?
It was also very touching! What time can do!
So a message to all my friends!
I want to receive letters instead emails LOL

The view on the sea is so beautiful that I want to live near the sea!

Yeon Ji Hyeon rocks!
She's also the only Korean actress I've seen!
When she was shooting Daisy in The Netherlands!
Tooo bad I didn't ask het autograph and took a pic! SIGH

America makes a remake of it!
