Vampire Prosecutor 1 & 2

[Beth, mod ✿]

After dropping this show 3 times, I finally made it past episode 6 and am now addicted. I just started season 2 the other day.

It's driving me nuts how they changed the characters though.

Yeon Jeong Hun looked really nice with his short hair, but now he's got an emo cut that makes him look a lot younger. I know vampires aren't supposed to age, but they aren't supposed to get younger!

Did Lee Young Ah get plastic surgery or did her haircut change her appearance that much too? Looking at pictures, I think she had a more round face in the first season. It's like she got a face reduction and shaped her jaw and maybe her eyes too. Plus they made her seem all bad-ass, especially at the end of season 1, and now she seems all girly girl and can't defend herself as well.

I keep going back and forth with Lee Won Jong, but I think I preferred him having facial hair.

I really like the new medical examiner and that they include him in the story.

I loved Vampire Prosecutor 1 and 2. Just wait til you watch the rest of it.

I hadn't considered that they changed a lot. There was like a year lapse before they did season 2. That might be why Lee Young Ah looks different. I think her face roundess was supposed to suggest her youth. Then in the second she grew and was meant to look older. Yeon Jeong Hun...I guess he looked younger. All I know is that I like how they dress him.

I love his clothes too. He was the main reason that made me push through until I became attached to the show. The way they dress him makes him look super cute!

Also, ever notice how they handle a ton of evidence without any gloves? In American shows, they make everything so careful. Gloves everywhere, and US police always have to state who they are. In the Korean shows, they always seem to be breaking and entering or doing stuff without identification or protection. Is it really like that there, or is that just a drama thing?

I know the no gun rule is true, and I think stupid. How many dangerous people get away because they know they won't be shot at?

At first I didn't like it either. The name made me think they were going to focus on the fact he was a vampire and not really focus on the plot, so I didn't have high expectations. When I watched episode one for the first time I got annoyed, because everything seemed random. Sooo why are you chasing a random truck? And who the heck is the girl from the flashback? Is it wrong that I laughed at the guy who just got into an accident? Then I died laughing when they go to the crime scene. Oh, comic relief. The second season wasn't another dream high, but it still wasn't as good as the first season.

I think in the first season they were a bit careful with evidence. At least Lee Young Ah's character wore gloves.

Wow I didn't know the no gun rule thing was true.

I don't know how investigation works in Korea. They should ID people though. I have wondered about prosecutors being allowed to investigate and be so involved in the process.

@Natalie - This show seems stuffed with comic relief. I love how the guys are constantly picking at each other.

@Cindy - They wore gloves sometimes, but not always. It's like they worried more about visual evidence than fingerprints.

They have guns, but are told not to use them. In many cases, if they use live ammunition without permission, they get demoted. Same in Japan.
