''Heartbeat'' is a 2023 KoreanSeries that ran for 16 episodes from June to August of 2023.
Woo-hyul is a vampire. At some point during the Joseon Dynasty era in Korea, he fell in love with Hae-seon, an aristocrat's daughter. Their love ended tragically when Hae-seon was killed by vampire hunters who were after Woo-hyul. A dying Hae-seon says that in another life she'll find him again, and urges him to drink her blood before it's too late.
Cut to the 1920s and Korea under the Japanese occupation. Woo-hyul and his vampire buddies Sang-hae and Dong-seob run a dance club. Woo-hyul is haunted by memories of his lost love Hae-seon and longs to be human so he can feel true love, the sort of love that makes your heart beat. Eventually Woo-hyul meets Yang-nam, a cat who transformed himself into a human being. Yang-nam tells Woo-hyul that to become a human, he must seal himself up in a hawthorn coffin for 100 years. Over the protests of his friends, Woo-hyul does just that.
Cut forward 100 years, to Joo In-hae, who is in a bit of a jam after a con artist "landlord" absconded with her housing deposit. Her housing problem is solved when she inherits a house from her father, who has been declared legally dead after being missing for five years. She goes exploring her new place, and finds a hawthorn coffin--and out pops Woo-hyul. And he's still a vampire, as she opened his coffin ''one day'' short of the 100 years he needed to become human.
Oh, and In-hae bears a startling resemblance to Woo-hyul's long-ago love, Hae-soon...
