Heartbeat
(2023 Amazon, 16 1hr eps)

It makes me sad to see a drama with so much potential fall flat. Unfortunately, that's my feeling on "Heartbeat." The scenery & settings were great. The ML's costuming was gorgeous. There were interesting side characters, witty lines, & some swoon-worthy moments. The 1st half was very entertaining, but the 2nd half floundered.

The side characters didn't have stories of their own. No parallel or contrasting 2nd storyline to emphasize the 1st. Aside from the 2 leads, there was minimal character development. Vampire lore was minimal & made up for convenience.

The acting was very good. Taecyeon does most of the heavy lifting here, but the other actors were believable & did well with what they were given.

Describing a Vampire drama as cute seems weird, but that's what I'd say, cute, with a dissatisfying ending.
