Romania, 2005. One of the last vampire families on earth decides to disguise themselves and live among humans until “the glory of their empire” revives. They are sent to different places all over the world that are considered safe by their leader.
However, a group of vampires takes the wrong ship and happens to come to Korea. On board, they run into a timid and unlucky man Doo-il. One of the vampires bites him by mistake and he becomes one of them. They promise Doo-il that they will return him into a human on the day when their leader comes to find them. He doesn’t have any other choice but to live with them. They are disguised as a family of five and start new lives in Seoul. Can they really go back to their country safely when their leader comes to find them?
While watching the vampires who disguise themselves as a human family, the viewers will witness both their human sides and the humans’ inhuman sides. Can Seoul be a safe place for them?

Hi!I’m a Korean movie-worm.I always watch Arirang TV in my free time and
I found that ‘Hello! Franceska’ is the greatest drama in Korea. It gives me
many kinds of feelings.I love all of the actors and actresses in this drama. I want to thank to the persons who made such a good drama.’Hello,Franceska’ will be in my memory now and forever.

i also found it through arirang. it’s pretty funny!
if anyone is a fan of Air, they just played “Biological” & “Run” in the bg of episode 46 🙂

I came to love Franceska because of its unique humor. I seldom find plot like these. The story is very unique. The characters did well. Thank you arirang for making laugh so hard that tears came out of my eyes. 🙂

“Hello Franceska” is an idiotic cutie show that distorts the concept of vampires. It is similar to Edison Chen’s “Vampire Effect”, another stupid idea to turn vampires to Hello Kitties. Why do we Asians have to turn everything into сutie idiotisms?

Hello. I’m from the Philippines too. I was also watching television with no particular channel, when suddenly, i came through this show. I suddenly liked it! It’s really funny, yet, this is not like those shows which has the same story over and over again. The synopsis is one of a kind. :))
