Vampire
ang Daddy Ko
is a family sitcom written along the lines of Okay Ka, Fairy Ko (OKFK).
OKFK established its own mythology and its own set of rules. For instance,
despite her powers to appear and disappear at will and erase the memory of
others, Ina Magenta could
not bring back the dead from the living. She was powerful, but she believed in
God. Also, OKFK was a family show before anything else. It imparted wholesome
family values without departing from being a situation-comedy. OKFK was a fight
between good and evil but it did not aim to frighten,
so that it could tap both young and old audiences.
Vampire
ang Daddy Ko
seeks to accomplish all that and more, using a faster pace of storytelling and
modern post-production editing techniques.
The
story revolves around a family where the head is a vampire, and where love is
the only thing that makes them survive everybody’s suspicion and their own
paranoia. But more importantly, the story focuses on the love of a son for his
father and vice-versa.
Vlad
(Oyo) is a semi-retired vampire and the head of the family. He’s been making do
with animal blood since he married a human, Sonya (Jackie Lou / Pilita). It is
his great love for Sonya that made him want to reform. Sonya, in turn, has
promised to give him fine and outstanding children, and
she’s
given him two sons, Vad and Victorio (Vic).
Unlike
his older brother, Victor is not a vampire. He has issues with his father. He
knows his father is a vampire who, from time to time, still
consorts
with active vampires. Victor feels his father doesn’t love him as much as he
does his missing older son, Vad. Vlad continues to tempt Victor with pig’s
blood, measures his cuspids to see if they’ve grown into fangs, and in his
presence keeps on asking his wife Sonya if it’s possible for them to have picked
up the wrong baby in the hospital nursery.
Will
the love between father and son outweigh their differences?
