The story revolves around a manuscript written by an ancient king. The manuscript gave the necessary keys to end the enemy of the nation, a fearsome vampire named Gwi (Lee Soo Hyuk). So we have the bad vampire who wants the book, so they don’t kill him and have all the power.

Also, we have the Scholar, Lee Joon Gi, the good vampire who wants the book to end the reign of terror. In between is the young female lead (Lee Yoo Bi, 1990), disguised as a man, who sells manuscripts to support her family and will end up entangled in this power struggle. It is a drama with historical context. But the funny thing is that throughout the drama reference is made to the literature and authors of the moment, such as the King himself who was an anonymous writer.

We continue this list of book-related K-Dramas you must watch if you like to read with It’s okay that’s love. It is an adult and psychological romance drama that enters the world of mental illness.

For that reason, perhaps there is no need for a great explanation of this drama because most likely everyone has already seen it. However, we will talk a little bit about it for new visitors. It is a story in which the paths of a toxic and antisocial Ko Moon Young (Seo Ye Ji, 1990) cross. She is a famous book writer, and Moon Kang Tae (Kim Soo Hyu, 1988), an introverted psychiatric nurse. Her brother, Moon Sang Tae (he is a masterful interpretation of Oh Jung Se), with clear signs of the autistic spectrum, is a great illustrator, just what Ko Moon Young needs to complete her books.

And this is how the story of these three is intertwined in moments of tension, toxicity, impulsiveness, reflection, and affection. Of course, books and literature are a significant part since the drama runs in the process of creating the book and the mental healing of the characters.
