Such a perfect day for a walk.

(FINE DUST LEVEL: HIGH/DO NOT GO OUT)

(Chapter 1: Even a vampire needs to earn a living)

I'm a vampire.

For a long time, I've been watching human beings develop.

The development of civilization brought me various means.

Means to avoid the sun.

Means to walk in the daylight.

The usual?

Means to maintain energy without taking human blood.

You've gotten paler than last time.

Goodness. Wait a second.

Try not to be picky about food, okay?

Try something other than blood pudding!

Means to naturally blend among humans...

Much appreciated.

Without standing out.

"Much appreciated."

She definitely stands out. Who is she?

She must be celebrity.

A regular.

Good day. I am Ran the makeup artist.

Howdy, Ran's Makeup Salon.

I will do makeup for you. I will doll you up.

Hello, I'm from Ran's Makeup Salon!

I shall do makeup for thee!

Good morning. Ran's Makeup Salon.

Extremely elastic leather glove.

He's...a professional!

One must stay awake. This place is a jungle.

She who conquers the first flyer, conquers the street!

Good day! It's Ran's Makeup Salon, ma'am!

My most humble apologies.

($50)

I'm a vampire...

who survived 500 years in this land

and perfectly adapted to the human world.

A being with strong power.

A vampire.

(SPECIAL OFFER: $5,000 QUICK LOANS ON CALL)

But I do not know

why I can't save money even after 500 years.

- What? - What's wrong with her?

What are you looking at!

Would you be my customer?

Oh, excuse me.

(Name: Lee So-nyeun/Random fact: Stayed in US for 6 months)

I smelled your scent on a stranger.

Maybe I should have followed him.

It's the first time in 500 years.

Someone with your scent.

Jin-ee.

Hey there.

(Ran's Makeup Salon)

The audition I'll be showing off this time

is for an action film set in Korea under Japanese rule.

Since the character is so called a "modern boy"

I need to look classic and traditional...

but also dandy, sexy, fantastic...

You don't have to look in a mirror.

Use your senses.

You can do it.

- Can you do it? - Huh?

She must have fallen for me. Oh, I am trouble.

Haven't had a customer in a while. Gather yourself.

- I can do it. - There's no mirror here.

I can do it!

North town style or south town style?

Huh?

How could you do a "modern boy" without knowing that?

World class dancer Choi Seung-hee.

One of the earliest aviators Park Kyung-won. Fashionista Na Hye-sok.

They were wild about my makeup skills.

Countless "modern girls" and "modern boys"

lined up to get my touch before their dates.

As expected, my skills haven't failed me.

With a look like this, he can dominate the dance hall!

A little bit more.

If this is the way to be with you for eternity...

If this is the way to be with you for eternity?

What are you doing here?

Well...

this is my customer.

But come to think of it...

Whatever I do here, doesn't concern you.

- Mom, it's not what you think. - Mom?

She's your mom?

So-nyeun! You told me you were going real estate shopping!

I sent you to a bigger land

to study land and property!

And you come back in just six months

filled with vain dreams!

Unbelievable.

Sorry, everyone. I need to attend an audition right now. Bye-bye.

Darn it.

This is exactly why I didn't want to buy a building with makeup salon.

Let's be honest here, Ran.

If someone you love and care for

would stay away from all the lucky gold key cards and pick a losing card...

If he threw away the chance to land on good

property and instead get a go to jail card...

would you just let it happen?

Let me be straightforward.

Don't do makeup for So-nyeun!

Well, he is my customer after all.

And with the rent increase...

Fine. I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.

If my boy So-nyeun comes back with the pretty face

that resembles mine and asks you do his makeup,

reject him firmly. Every time you do that...

I'll deduct the amount from your rent.

From my rent?

Your son didn't pay today. $150.

What? But it said $100 on the board!

It's $150.

(Full makeup: $150)

Lee So-nyeun. It's your turn!

Yeap!

(Ran's Makeup Salon/50% Off)

Look!

Here, here, here!

She wants triple rent. That means she wants me out, right?

I worked so hard for the last 30 years...

but I have no money.

30 years?

I've been doing it for 500 years, but I still don't know.

500 years?

You crazy pretty thing.

That's right.

A little madness is a necessity.

Oh, it's cold. How come you're so cold?

That's why I told you not to be picky about food.

Ran, how long has it been since you first came to my shop?

It's been 20 years already.

How come you haven't aged a bit?

Baby face of the baby faces.

Pride of our town!

Never dying beauty!

Cheers to Ran Makeup Salon!

Drink up! It's on me today.

I'd rather die while eating than of hunger.

I might just go out and kill myself.

If you could die, that's one option.

I live because I can't die.

I'm not usually the type to walk away without paying.

Here. Don't say no.

Your hands are...

I mean...

The wind is cold, so shall we go eat Mille feuille hot pot?

- Earlier today, your mom... - Don't speak!

Don't.

I know your feelings.

I will allow you a kiss.

It's not too late. Turn me into one of you.

You might actually die.

I might not be able to resist myself.

I promised not to do your makeup.

So don't come again.

What was that earlier this afternoon?

You were just about to kiss me right before my mom came in!

Be quiet. You're distracting me.

You were just about to kiss me, weren't you?

Who are you?

I'm...Lee So-nyeun.

Do you know how much your smell stimulates me?

Even in this very moment,

I am fighting with my own desire to bite you.

What are you...?

That was actually my first kiss.

How come you smell like Jin-ee?

Jin, is that you?

Is your soul trapped in his body?

Huh? Who's Jin?

It can't be.

Reincarnation is what foolish mortals believe.

Go. I have no more energy left to deal with you.

So-nyeun!

I know you're in there! Get out!

If my mom catches me here, I'm as good as dead! Help me!

If she finds out that I hid you, she will kick me out.

Please!

Please.

What's this?

I definitely...

What?

That building is out in the market?

Now?

Okay, I'll be there.

I'll be back.

Thanks.

(Chapter 3: Is my heart broken?)

(Ran's Makeup Salon)

Because of a young boy who's still wet behind the ears...?

My heart might be literally broken I've been using it for 500 years.

No! No!

There must be a way!

He must either be a reincarnation of Jin-ee or her descendant!

How could I find out?

(Book title: Learning Universe Through Reincarnation)

I just...

Your hand was cold...

and I wanted to thank you for yesterday.

Let's go somewhere.

On a date?

Shall we go for carbonara?

May I have a moment?

I am in need of a blood, so if you may, could you share with me a bit of his blood?

What are you talking about?

Are you saying no? I am asking you politely.

Of course. It's not even your blood.

I am not asking for money or all of his blood.

Just a little bit of what you took from him, so why not?

I even brought a container. Just a little-

You need my blood? Why?

- It's just... - No wonder!

I should've known. Pale skin, cold hands. Is that because of nose bleeding?

You had that yesterday, too.

What's your diagnosis? Are you dying?

Then...

Let's go to the hospital.

I'll pay the bills.

I'm the son of a landlord, you know?

You really don't have a terminal illness, right? Are you sure?

I can't get a terminal illness.

Huh?

(Hwang Jin-ee Show!)

What did you say your last name was?

Lee.

What about your mom?

Kang. Why?

Is there any Hwang in your family? Any of your grandparents?

Hwang?

I wouldn't know...

Oh, what's your last name?

Bring me a document of your family tree next time.

Wait, she couldn't be in the document.

She wasn't respected in her lifetime. Who would put her in a family tree?

Who is Jin-ee? You mentioned her yesterday.

Hwang Jin-ee.

Hwang Jin-ee?

Hwang Jin-ee from the Hwang Jin-ee Show?

A virtuoso.

Not just a virtuoso but an extraordinary one.

She's not someone a boy like you could easily mention.

A what?

Does it mean her lover works at Hwang Jin-ee Show?

It's okay. It's okay because I am handsome.

It's okay. Yes, I can do it!

Do it! Do it!

Wait for me!

There must be a way.

She's just a tenant. I should be able to kick her out.

Ran's Makeup Salon. Ran's Makeup Salon. Ran's Makeup Salon.

Resident registration number: 1957, Dec-

1957?

1957? The year of chicken?

She was born in 1957, yet she has such nice skin?

Something is suspicious. Something is odd.

Let me check again.

1957...

Nice face, right height. He's got the right looks for the role.

If he is indeed Jin-ee's descendant, he should have her talent.

Ah, my beloved Juliet! Why art thou yet so fair?

Shall I believe that unsubstantial death is amorous,

and that the lean abhorred monster keeps thee here in dark to be his paramour?

Eyes, look your last!

Arms, take your last embrace!

And lips, O you, the doors of breath!

- Don't come! Don't come! - Seal with a righteous kiss!

Go away!

A dateless bargain to engrossing death!

Let's see.

The place looks smaller than it should be.

Oh, my, my, my.

It's not my size.

Something's fishy here.

Wait, what's that?

What?

She remodeled the place without my permission?

Splendid job of restraining yourself, Ran.

It was the biggest crisis in 500 years of my vampire life.

Jin, I'm truly sorry. It was a big misunderstanding.

How could I think of you as that terrible actor?

No, no way.

You came to see me!

Here's the thing. My guts are telling me I got this.

I am the king of the world!

My guts are telling me, too.

I might just be able to die this time...

of embarrassment.

Wait for me!

Worried I'll become a star overnight? Don't worry.

No need to worry too much. Even if that happens, I won't leave you.

I am not that kind of person. Trust me. Trust-

Excuse me.

Do we take out recycles on Tuesdays and Thursdays?

They don't seem to be recycles.

Oh...

I....have another audition tomorrow. Growl!

A vampire!

Vampires don't growl.

Did something happen, while you were in the west?

What should I do if I'm offered both roles?

Romeo or vampire?

That is the question.

Well, I believe your worries aren't necessary.

Huh?

Oh, well, be ambitious!

Yeah, be ambitious!

Wait for me, once!

(Chapter 4: Dangerous Feelings)

No. Nope.

No, that's not right.

Why? What's not right?

This is vampire enough!

It's hard to portray a being that doesn't exist, you know?

You asked about Jin-ee before.

Jin-ee was a true virtuoso.

V.i.r.t.u.o.s.o. An artist

Jin-ee was able to find beauty in everyone.

When I first changed....When I was scared and lonely...

She was the only person who opened up to me.

Try it. It's okay.

Without Jin-ee...

I could've turned into something quite different.

The vampire you know is a terrifying creature who sucks human blood.

The discomfort of being different.

The loneliness of eternal life.

You're too blind to the pain.

Give me another chance. I want to do it right.

I really want to do it right this time.

That's not it.

- What? - Your role...

It's not vampire but a boy who lives next to a vampire girl.

It's clearly written here.

A salon without a mirror.

Go! Go away! Away with you!

Oh, it's spicy.

Has an unbelievable baby face.

Bloody red smoothie.

Fridge full of sunscreen.

And her strength!

I'm sure of it.

Just say what you want to say, as if you are that boy.

My friend is a vampire. I want to go away with her.

My dear friend is a vampire. I want to go away with her.

I...

want to be with you.

It's not too late. Turn me into one of you.

Please.

It's my last favor.

It's dangerous.

It hurts...

Stop...

You might actually die.

I might not be able to resist myself.

No.

Help me.

Please.

Hello!

Hi, hi. Yes, I am on my-

Oh, my.

Oh!

Ran!

(Chapter 5: ...)

(Ran's Makeup Salon)

Will I not change right away after being bitten?

(Ran's Makeup Salon)

I'm sorry.

I was...

How long has it been? Since you became a vampire?

You noticed.

Come to think of it, it's rather strange that I didn't notice before.

It is?

I thought I was in perfect disguise.

Oh, so that was a disguise?

500 years.

Huh?

You asked how long has it been.

It's been 500 years.

Then...

Then...

there's a 480-year age gap between us...

Hello, ma'am.

Grandma?

To be precise, I'm 499 years older than you.

I became a vampire at the age of 19.

19 years old? 19?

I want to trust you, but you don't look 19...

Or did people from those days get older faster?

I'll bite you again if I have to.

Okay, bite me.

Here, bite me.

So-nyeun! What are you doing here again?

I could ask you the same thing!

Dear mother...

- I said no. - Are you going to keep being uncooperative?

Ma'am?

Just once. A little bit.

- Don't tell me. You know already? - Don't tell me. You do, too?

About what? You say it first.

What? What do you know?

Yes, I'm a vampire.

- Hey... - Mom!

Don't kick Ran out.

Huh?

Mom...

Did you ever think of how terrifying it would be to live as a vampire?

You assume that they are horrible just because they are different.

No one understands you. There's no one to talk to. You can't communicate with anyone.

Everyone ignores you.

They tease you for not being able to speak their language.

They discriminate you for your skin color.

Mom, you know nothing!

Are we still talking about her?

It's okay to be a vampire, so don't go.

- I'm not going anywhere. - I never said I was kicking her out.

Huh?

(On that day, At that time)

With garlic, silver, and the cross, I will get rid of the devil vampire.

Only for the good of the community...

and the stabilization of property prices

I will sacrifice this body! Vampires out!

Oh, my.

What's this?

Among all the places, why here? This is my building!

Oh, it's cold!

What am I going to do?

Darn it!

The way of the landlord is high and steep.

Let me see.

What happens now?

What if she sets on fire and burns the whole building down?

Was it a mistake to bring her back in?

Look at the amazing skin revitalization!

Don't even think of attacking me!

I have garlic and...

Cross...cross...

- A cross! - Even the silver won't work.

I won't hurt you. Just be quiet.

I...

I want to be one, too.

A vampire.

Please turn me...

ma'am...

into a vampire.

- (Back to the present) - Have you thought about my offer?

You really want to be a vampire?

Even if you have to wander around in eternity

as a being that's neither living nor dead?

Yes I mean it. I want to live in eternity.

Bite me! Bite me!

Even if you might end up hurting...

everyone you love, everyone you care for?

You know how sad it is to live as a human?

Our life is so short we die before our buildings decay.

How useless you feel, when you know for sure

your one and only flesh and blood will definitely

waste your fortune if you pass it onto him!

Mom, I'm here. I can hear you.

- I will cut the rent. - Rent?

- No. - No?

Not just me.

The butcher, too.

While you're at it, cut the rent for everybody.

- Or not. - No!

Just one day. Give me one day to think.

Okay.

It seems like everything's settled.

Let's go for today, mom. Hurry up.

What's that look on your face?

You like me, don't you?

"Even if you might end up hurting everyone you love, everyone you care for?"

What was that?

See. You hurt me. You like me.

No, that was... just because you have the scent of Jin-ee.

Even if my mom found out your identity,

you didn't even think of leaving because you want to be around me.

No.

It's because of the rent and deposits and all...

By keeping this as a necklace,

I thought I was keeping her with me forever.

How foolish I was.

That...

is your blood.

You don't have to keep me like this.

I am right here.

Thank you...for not dying.

(Ran's Makeup Salon)

I'm a vampire.

I'm a vampire who lived in this place for 500 years.

But there are many things I still don't know.

("Beautiful Vampire")

In that alley across the street, there's Ran's Makeup Salon.

She's really good. Come and get your makeup done.

Who told you to do this?

Let's go for Mille feuille hot pot, carbonara, espresso, and anything you want.

What else do you want?

Everything!

Let's go. I'll watch you eat everything!

Who is there?

This attractive but dirty and beautiful smell of money...

Oh darn landlord, she came back again.

That building is mine.

That building is also mine.

(Butcher Shop)

As usual?

Thank you, again.

Don't mention it!

How about a cosmopolitan later?

Okay, okay, okay!

The one who just left. Who is she?

A friend.
