Hi, I'm Yoo-Jin. I watch Korean Dramas and live by Korean Dramas. Call me an addict if you want, but I like to address myself as a Korean Drama specialist.
Episode 1: Too Good to be...Normal?
Not trying to brag but I’m quite lucky when it comes to guys. All the guys I dated in the past were quite decent; they were cute, sweet and good-looking. (Sadly, they never stick around for too long and I always wonder why). However, Aiden is on a whole different level. Aiden and I have been seeing each other for about 5 months. He is all around perfect. He is sweet, caring and compassionate. Even with his crazy schedule, he still saves time to take me out, checks on me every day and makes sure I get home safely. Sometimes, he calls me just to say he missed me. He always knows what I want, like he could see through my mind. Not only that, he is hilariously adorable when he is tipsy. And when he is in suit, Aiden is the “sexy incarnated”. He has the perfect face and the perfect body that all the guys wish to have and all the girls wish their boyfriends to have. Like the cherry on top of the cake, Aiden is a successful businessman. His perfection is limitless. And that...is not right! Aiden is too good to be true.
One thing I learn from watching Korean Dramas for many years is that it is absolutely impossible for a normal person to just simply be that perfect. Aiden can't be just plain perfect. And I believe there is more to catch. Aiden is too good to be...normal!
Episode 2: VBT-01. Am I Dating a Vampire?
"Aiden? Vampire? You are insane, Yoo-Jin!" My best friend, Hannah, flipped when I told her that Aiden could be a vampire. "Vampires are fictional. Stop watching Korean Dramas!" she yelled at me on the phone before she hung up. People think vampires aren't real because they haven't met one yet but I think I had met mine. I don't blame her for not believing it. But I do. And I have evidence to prove my intuition is right. It happened 2 days ago.
It was Saturday night and I decided to stay over at Aiden's apartment. I asked him if I could help him shave his facial hair (because, you know, couple shaving scene is the most romantic thing on any Korean Dramas that I have to reenact). Of course, he agreed. It was my first time shaving for a guy so I was very clumsy and accidentally cut him. To my surprise, Aiden immediately covered his wound, pushed me out of the bathroom and closed the door. Ten minutes later, he walked out with a bandage on his left chin. "I'm sorry. Are you okay? Let me see the cut!" I ran to him and tried to remove the bandage. "I'm okay. I took care of it." Aiden quickly brushed my hand off and walked away. He looked suspicious.
Bam! That was when it hit me. Flashback flooded my head: the Blood episode I watched the day before. In that episode, Ji-Sang got cut and also hid his wound from Rita because there was no wound. Ji-Sang was a vampire and he could heal instantly.
So, Aiden is a vampire. He must be infected by virus VBT-01 which turns normal people into blood-drinking vampires. But Aiden never harms me because, just like Ji-Sang, he is consuming special medicine that can block the affect of blood-thirst (How do I know, you ask? Go watch Blood).
Suddenly, everything makes sense to me. Vampire, yes, vampire! What else can he be? No wonder Aiden is so unordinary. Vampire is the answer to his all around perfection. My heart is jumping up and down as I’m typing this. Dating a vampire is all I have ever wanted.
Episode 3: Expectation vs. Reality
Me: Aiden, do you love me?
Aiden: Of course, Yoo-Jin. You don't trust me?
Me: I do. But...do you trust me?
Aiden: I never doubt you.
Me: You're lying. I know you're hiding something from me.
Aiden: You might misunderstand something. I would never lie to you.
Me: Then, should we make a toast?
I was closely observing Aiden as he raised the glass to his mouth, waiting for the moment when his lips touch the liquid. He spitted it out right away. "NO! That's not right", I thought in my head. That glass of wine wasn’t really wine. It was pig blood I got from a local Asian supermarket to make Aiden admit that he was a vampire. Needless to say, Aiden looked at me like I was totally insane when I told him what was really in the glass. He was angry! I tried to explain about the vampire, the shaving incident and the drama Blood that I was watching.
It turned out that his biggest pet peeves was having people seeing his open cut or wound. He ended up showing me the cut which had formed a scar. At first, it sounded pretty weird to me but, comparing to the fact that I thought he was a vampire, his pet peeves seems to be completely sane. Aiden was angry at me for a week. And when I was about to run out of all the heart-melting lines I’ve learned from Korean Dramas, he finally forgave me. He should have told me earlier that he hated people looking at his wound so I wouldn't misun…
Wait a minute! He doesn’t want other people to see his open wound. There must be something he is trying to hide. His blood is not normal? Does he even have blood? He isn’t a vampire. Then could he be…an alien?

Beautiful people can't be normal!
