Vampire Prosecutor turns up the heat

86 September 4, 2012September 4, 2012

Yummy. What IS it about Yeon Jung-hoon’s particular brand of saucy vampire hotness that just does me in? Season 2 of the hit vampire-on-the-right-side-of-the-law crime procedural Vampire Prosecutor is set to premiere THIS SUNDAY (I know!) and if these teasers are any indication, the sequel might just be a little funnier and a little hotter. Unless the teasers are just a big tease… *grumpface*

But here’s the important thing: It may have been a year, but our undead prosecutor’s guyliner-application skills haven’t gotten rusty. Yeon Jung-hoon said himself, when asked at the show’s press conference what differences we could expect: “Season 2 will have darker eyeliner.” Pfffft. HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU?

I’m sort of flabbergasted that the show is already premiering this week, despite having waited for Season 2 since, well, Season 1 ended. But it’s probably just a side effect of being up to our eyeballs in dramas that Vamp crept up on us like a ninja cat, all fangy and sneak-attacky.

I’m excited for more of the same slick crime-fighting and hot brooding, of course, but I’m really thrilled at the hint that we might get somewhere with the romance between Yeon Jung-hoon and Lee Young-ah’s characters this season. The romance was never the focus of the show, but they had fantastic chemistry and a really nice slow build. This teaser is every bit the sizzling, cheeky, and infuriating vampire hero we’ve come to know and love:

But the one that cracked me up was this crossover teaser, featuring God’s Quiz star Ryu Deok-hwan (who’s currently doing a fantastic job as King Gongmin in Faith). God’s Quiz is the current time slot’s resident, and the teaser is a clever little passing of the torch between the shows. It’s ingenious because besides being adorable and funny, it’s a smart way to hook viewers from one forensic procedural to the next. In it, Ryu’s medical examiner presents our prosecutor with the latest samples of “bad blood,” and then gets bitten by a mosquito… inciting Tae-yeon’s bloodlust.

The doc flails about and runs for his life, but finds that there’s no escape, and decides he’d rather jump off the building than meet a vampy death. But he’s too scared to go through with that, and in the final cut… he sports two giant puncture wounds after being turned. Hee. I luff these two together. Can they have a crossover spinoff show, Vampire Medical Examiner?

Season 2 totals 11 episodes, one a week. The fun starts this Sunday on OCN.

I remember when I switched over from American shows to K-dramas I thought 16 episodes were the perfect length. Thereafter, I discovered J-doramas and now think 16 episodes more often than not can get looooongg.

I'd rather VP2 have a taut script (and if that means shorter and less number of episodes) than sabotage the good memories that S1 left me with.

This is the first drama I have seen her in a drama but I love her style; it's a mixture of strength and sweetness. I loved her scenes with the coroner; they had juxtaposed those traits against the sultry charm of the coroner which just enhanced them even more. I hope to see more of this side to her in VP2.

each time i'm reading the coms and i come across your username, it feels wierd to read my own name. i know it's a pretty ordinary name in the subcontinent countries but i never expected to know any other "sabah" in the kdrama world.

It must feel like someone stole your identity and then used it to write silly comments and mediocre insights on random blogs. Hehe. Actually there are several Sabahs just in my own family but as you say, none of the others seem inclined towards Kdrama.

I find Kdramas vast in concept so that much like say American TV, you would find something for everyone unlike say...well you would know. Not there is anything wrong with 'those' dramas, I have enjoyed a few BUT what I mean to say is that I can understand the global appeal of Kdramas and even the Korean Music scene.

Vampire Prosecutor is fine example of that. I remember when someone first mentioned it to me, I thought 'not another crime drama' and felt cynical about its use of 'vampires' as something of a gimmick BUT I was wrong. I love the dark broody feel, I love the detailing of the story, the layers of the characters and most of all I love the relationships between all the lead players. Most of all I loved that intelligent main story running through the series. It has got charisma and charm that I can understand why it did so well, garnering a broader audience than say American counterparts.

Anyway, nice to meet you Sabah (or Sabohee) and I wish you a life full of promise and potential.

There is a BTS of one of the poster shoots.

What I keep seeing and liking about YJH is his sense of playfulness. I think that is why he can pull off the full-on-sexy-as-hell-persona, because as soon as the director yells cut, he goofs and laughs at himself. Not taking any of it seriously - he knows it's all for fun.
Meanwhile, we don't see that on our screens and we buy it hook, line and sinker.

So of course, knowing this about him makes me think he's even sexier.

LOL I'm following God's Quiz too, so that cross-over teaser is doubly hilarious. If Ryu Duk Hwan's wasn't doing a bang-up job in Faith at the moment, I'd get my hopes up that Dr. Han would pop up in VP2 so that we'd get to see him snark back and forth with Prosecutor Min.

After the teaser I also want a crossover between the two shows or at least Ryu Duk Hwan to make an appearance. The exchanges between Dr Han and Vampy Prosecutor would be awesome.

However. Super sexy vampy is back (...wasn't Brad Pitt also a vampire ???.... but who's Brad Pitt......??????.)

Yes, 11 episodes aren't enough. But I'm cheering myself with the idea that there's going to be a third season with even blacker eye liner and hotter expectations for a love line between our OTP (for I'm afraid this sexy teaser is just a tease). But I love how they keep the romance tight under control. A love that is slowly creeping into our vamp's dead heart is perfect for this show.

And I want to see our heroine kicks some baddies!

I really hope he just remains a clueless tease when it comes to her. I don't know if I would like a romantic story line between them.

I like the fact they are keeping it at 11 episodes. Any more would ruin it I think especially if they are planning on doing a third season.

(It makes the Gaksital finale a little easier to bare). God, I second, third, and fourth all of the Yeon Jung-hoon love in the building. He is on FIRE as a vampire. So damn sexy! Plus the passing the torch trailers are so chic and funny. OCN is just too good.

Loved Ryu Deok Hwan in Faith and have enjoyed all 3 God Quiz dramas.Cute teaser; however,I wish he could be in one of the episodes of VP2.

I have watched Yeon Jung Hoon in several dramas where he has appeared very serious including VP. He was good in Can Love Become $ where I didn't know he could smile and do comedy. Anyway, I'm so glad that he's back with the darker guy eyeliner as the sexy and hot vampire prosecutor. Love the smokey eyes.
