4.0

I really enjoyed this manhwa and it's story. The art style is lovely (I love that the male lead looks somewhat vampiric) and the relationship between the female lead and male lead's young son is great. I'm really curious to see what happens with the plot twist at the end of this season

the "religious cult" that appears to have been formed from those that regressed after being poisoned by the family blood

. I primarily give it a 4/5 because it felt somewhat slow in certain areas, although that might be because of it's weekly release schedule - I definitely think it can be a bit hard to gauge a story's pacing if you're consumption of it is based on a weekly schedule.

Definitely considering reading the webnovel after this since I'll be a bit too impatient to wait for the next season!
