Throughout the years, narratives involving vampires have frequently been interwoven with love stories. Both bollywood and hollywood boast numerous hits that centre around vampire themes, making it evident that vampire-related fiction has proven to be highly lucrative and is likely to remain so in the coming years.
Regardless of the romantic angle, vampires, as mythical creatures, continue to captivate audiences, and their adaptability in fictional narratives contributes to their enduring fascination. Fortunately, K-dramas also embrace vampire tropes, and here, we highlight some of the best K-dramas featuring vampire storylines.
‘Vampire Flower’
'Vampire Flower,' a 2014 K-drama adapted from a web novel by Shin Ji Eun, revolves around a vampire storyline. Often dubbed as Korea's equivalent to Twilight by fans, this six-episode drama draws parallels to the relationship dynamics between Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson). The narrative introduces Louis (Seo Jae Hyung), a vampire who has lived for centuries yet retains the appearance of a young teenager. Louis encounters Seo Young (Kim Ga Eun), whose uniquely enticing and extraordinary blood captivates him. As their love deepens, the duo grapples with perilous situations in this vampire-infused romantic K-drama.
‘Kissable Lips’
While K-dramas with substantial LGBTQ+ (gay kdramas) representation may be scarce, 'Kissable Lips' stands out by featuring two male protagonists engaged in a romantic relationship. Despite its lower ranking among K-dramas with a vampire storyline, the narrative unfolds in a university setting, focusing on Jun Ho (Kim Ji-Woong), a vampire nearing his perceived death, and Min Hyun (Yoon Seo-Bin), a rebellious human who shares a class with Jun Ho. Jun Ho's survival is dependant on consuming pure blood, and fortunately, Min Hyun possesses the type of blood that can save him.
‘The Sweet Blood’
'The Sweet Blood' is a K-drama consisting of brief episodes, and although it may not frequently top lists of Korean vampire dramas, it offers a binge-worthy experience in its way. The storyline follows Yeon Seo (Song Chae Yoon), a 118-year-old vampire born to a human mother and a vampire father. Despite her extraordinary abilities and beauty, she aspires to lead a normal life and seamlessly integrates with high school students.
Her ambition to graduate high school takes an unexpected turn when she detects the irresistible scent of Song Meo Roo's (Kim Eo Jin) sweet blood. However, Meo Roo's blood doesn't only attract Yeon Seo; it becomes a magnet for every vampire and werewolf in the vicinity, turning her life upside down.

‘Bite Sisters’
Vampire shows often highlight the notion that vampires have a better chance of survival when they form alliances. In the K-drama 'Bite Sisters,' three vampires adopt the guise of sisters. The primary focus is on Han Yi-Na (Kang Han-Na), an 821-year-old vampire who also happens to be a widely acclaimed online influencer. Leveraging her popularity, Yi-Na discreetly aids victims of injustice as part of her mission.
‘Orange Marmalade’
'Orange Marmalade,' undeniably one of the standout vampire-themed K-dramas, unfolds as a teenage romance set in a world where vampires coexist in secret alongside humans. The narrative centres around Ma-Ri (Seolhyun), a young and introverted vampire striving to conceal her true identity, adhering to a peace treaty mandated by the government. The plot takes a twist when Ma-Ri, on a train, is captivated by the alluring scent of Jae-Min's (Yeo Jin-Goo) blood. From this moment, a love story blossoms between Ma-Ri and Jae-Min, despite the complexities arising from Jae-Min's aversion to vampires.
