The artstyle isn't the worst. I actually like it in some ways. The uke is a half-vampire who feeds on sexual energy (the essence). He was said to have had relationships where the said partner broke up with him on finding out his true identity. So he avoids relationships and is set out currently to have a sex partner. It was pretty clear from the get-go that the seme was into him from the very first chapter, he is also the one getting him coffee every morning He is an amiable person and is not the typical cold and rigid CEO or in this case, a director. He mistakenly sent a message telling his need for a sex partner to the director of all people and hence the plot. The director asks to meet up...the uke prepares his resignation letter since that's the common sense but they ended up making out. They eventually date because the director indirectly threatened his job. Now, this is the part that made me a bit surprised (?)..the director isn't a simp. He concludes that there is something that the uke is hiding from him, and his insistence on having sex eventho he doesn't like him. The seme's thought process is this...'Does he have a high sex drive? No, that isn't it. Just a sex partner? He is too vanilla for that. Something is going on'. The uke is also an open book, when people were walking around talking about vampires, his expression was odd so therefore the seme has all the clues now he just has to arrange them for it all to click into place.
The seme's friend is the typical seme in other manhwas too. His uke is very cute. He is whipped for him, the seme's concern about his relationship went in one ear and out the other and then he perked up when the uke arrived. Before his arrival, he even checked the time and said 'He will be here soon'. The uke is rather playful too and places his hands on the seme covering his eyes 'Guess who it is' to which the seme chuckles and look at him lovingly. The ML also comments 'He is as cute as ever'. I doubt the friend even heard that. But what he said struck me 'Why are you holding back? You didn't care for the other partner's opinion in your old relationship. Just do what you want' to which he replied 'I'll go to jail if I do that'. But that convo flipped a switch in him. And he has been some teasing motherfucker eversince. Teasing the uke left and right and once he gets turned on, leave him hanging or sopping wet in this case. He gets jealous easily and asks what relationship the uke had with a coworker of his and talked about firing him and warned him not to take other people's side in front of him, otherwise all his coworkers would get fired. I mean I don't think the coworker was being just friendly as the uke implied, he touched his waist telling him that he lost weight, if he didn't eat as much. And that his face has gotten thinner as well while touching his face. That was sus, he asked him out for a drink too.
The uke's friend that is trying to turn him into a full vampire was hilarious. Him telling the uke to just use the seme and not to get uselessly involved and fall in love with a human just to get his heart broken was a moment. Oh! It was mentioned that the uke can't drink blood, I guess cuz of the deal with him being a half-vampire? So he relies on the essence.
