Westley Apr 22 2024 1:06 pm it's about time for another installment of this franchise. Very watchable. Great cast.

Nanashix88 Jan 18 2022 2:26 am Must watch. I definitely absorb into the movie. All 3 movies were good, personally the 3rd one is the best!! Storyline is superb which never get boring. Every scene is genius and pack with suprices and funny moments. Cast was perfect. Kim min and his assistant character are so funny and smart. Spoiler: the preeties vampire and I get emotional for the last scene of queen holding the prince.

Pone Thone Apr 22 2020 11:54 pm @Xhalen His name is Hyun Woo.

Richard Jan 29 2020 7:47 pm There were a lot of funny moments in this movie. The scene where they were doing finger hearts and 2 hand hearts was good. Another scene where the detective paints 2 dots on one guy neck to signify vampire bites was also good. Hahaha
