Plot
Set in a fantasy world where humans and vampires coexist, the latter have evolved and no longer rely on human blood as food. Still, they are feared and discriminated against by society, causing many of them to hide their true nature and live as "normal" citizens, or else become outcasts.

But things change when she accidentally kisses the neck of Jung Jae-min (Yeo Jin-goo) and falls in love with him. Despite that he is the most popular boy at her high school.
