I found the movie to be very romantic and sad. Here are these two people, well not exactly people, one is a vampire and the other is human. The reason why they can't be together is because of the choice that he made centuries ago. In a previous life she was his love, and then she died in childbirth and he was lost without her, and then came this vampire seductress promising that he will find her if he became one of the undead. Then centuries later he finds the modern incarnation of his lady love, and he almost feels human. He can't go on with the killing that his vampire master tricked him into after seeing his true love. He was able to save his true from his evil master, then had the cop kill him, and promised his love that one day they would be together the way they were meant to, as humans living a normal life. They would be reincarnated one day and find each other in their next life that was his promise to her, because of the fact that they were able to find each other in this one
