action
Min Tae-yeon is not your typical prosecutor . He has an uncanny gift of knowing where the crime victim died and how they died. He can tell by the smell and taste of her blood. Few people know that Tae-yeon is actually a vampire . He drinks the blood that is sold on the black market in some bars in Seoul. Together with the detective Hwang Soon-bum, public prosecutor Yoo Jung-in and Choi Dong-man, he solves murder cases. Each time he uses his vampire skills to solve cases that seem unsolvable. However, he does not find out the identity of the vampire who made him a vampire seven years ago. Jung-in also soon becomes suspicious of Tae-yeon's questionable methods of solving cases.
