    I remember watching this Chinese drama when I was a kid about a Chinese jumping vampire who fell in love with this chick.

    He looks like a typical vampire with the Song/Qing (?) dynasty robes and he started out early in the series with the paper seal on his hat/head but then he got really strong that it didn't work and no priest could control him.

    I'm not sure if he was the protagonist in this. I think he was actually the bad guy.

    The setting was ancient China and it was not a movie, so it's not "My Date With a Vampire."

    The only jianshi fiction I know are those in films. Mr. Vampire and other Tsui Hark films.

    Usually Jiangshi are reanimated corpse without a conscious, so I don't remember any stories with one that has a conscious as it would stick out like a sore thumb amongs all the one I watched and I don't remember any :(

    Hmm, when I heard 90s movie, Chinese, and vampire, I got reminded of Boboho (Hao ShaoWen)'s movie...
    I remember one scene where the vampire hesitate to attack the protagonist when they play a song from the girl, but I'm not sure if the girl is the love interest or the vampire's sister.

    Maybe someone can just find me a list of jiangshi TV dramas and I can search from there?

    Here's a random gif of child Chinese vampire:
