It further reads:
"The protagonist, Momo, lives a repressed life but still wishes to coexist with the enemy, the vampires. Fine, the vampire queen, once loved humans and disappeared from the battlefield.

More about the mini-series: Trailer and cast
The trailer for Vampire in the Garden dropped in March and featured Momo's vocal breakdown when she realized that a vampire was staring at her. The two, Momo and Fine, later form a bond over a place called Eden where vampires and humans coexist. But it is impossible since predators and prey are still living under the shadow of war.
The clip also revealed that the vampires in the story are more on the classic, horror side where their violent encounters with humans result in killing them. Other bizarre and deadly creatures also made an appearance, setting the tone for the realm of the mystical beasts in the story and its endless possibilities.
