Choi Jin Hyuk Vamps It Up In The Trailer For 'Vampire In Love'

On February 25, Phantom Pictures released the first movie trailer for the upcoming Japanese film “Vampire in Love” starring Choi Jin Hyuk.

Choi Jin Hyuk portrays Mike, the assistant to Derek (Ekin Cheng), a head vampire.

Mirei Kiritani (Runaway Beat, Bunny Drop) leads the cast as Kiira, a part-time baker who happens to be a vampire. During her youth, she discovers she is a vampire but hides the truth from her childhood companion, Tetsu (Shota Totsuka).

Kiira is reunited with Tetsu when he begins to make appearances at the bakery where she is employed. The two begin to date but Kiira is plagued by the fact that she is a vampire.

The film presents a more innocent and sweet approach to the vampire myth than what has been explored in movies like “Let the Right One In.” The plot may venture into darker territory but the trailer presents “Vampire in Love” as a supernatural romance.

The film also appears to depart from the type of medical horror that is incorporated in "Blood." 

Choi Jin Hyuk has previously stated that “Vampire in Love” will serve as one of his final projects prior to his military service.

The actor experienced a surge in success following his role in “Gu Family Book.” He followed “Gu Family Book” with his attention grabbing roles in “The Heirs” and “Emergency Couple.” "Emergency Couple" energized his career, demonstrating his potential as a leading man. In "Fated to Love You" and "Pride and Prejudice," he continued to showcase his acting talents.

He recently embarked on a fan meeting tour to acknowledge his fans in several Asian countries including Taiwan, prior to his military enlistment.

The film opens at theaters in Japan on April 17.
