Bloodhounds

I have a love-hate relationship with k-dramas. I like them in general but most times I'm left disappointed.

Usually they start very good. The initial, first second, episodes are really good. Great cinematography, good writing, lots of production value and most of the time a nice concept to build upon. You can always tell that about half or more of the production money went to that one - two episodes. And then....

It all goes downhill. Whatever the initial concept was it will always end up a group of people going against some type of villain. They will sit and talk and eat and plan various unintelligent ways to attack the villain. They will attack but for some reason the villain will escape their grasp. Then the villain will attack and probably kill one or two of them. This back and forth will continue depending on how many episodes the season has and at the end the good guys finally will do what they should have done a dozen episodes back. All the above while the tone of the series will flactuate between very moving scenes and cringy slapstick humor.

This show unfortunately does not escape this pattern. It has its ups and it has its downs.

Special mention to the last two episodes that were awful. It probably would have gotten another star if that wasn't the last taste the show had left me with.

Honestly, I've seen people calling it unrealistic but it doesn't matter because the drama keeps you hooked. It's a good drama but the problem is in 5-6 episode they removed the nice characters. Even the female lead left after ep 6 which was annoying I expected more from her. I thought she will take a revenge for her grandfather but she was nowhere to be found. Even the nice characters who died, they didn't show any backstory of what happened to them in the end. The ending was good but how they did not cleared it out to the audience was very annoying. I'm mostly disappointed by the female lead leaving the drama in the middle and they also didn't show what happened to the victim's family who were in danger. That thing is going to bother you. Overall it's a good drama the boxing and the stunts were mind blowing. It will keep you hooked. The bromance in the show was really cute. Amazing acting.

As a martial arts movie lover and someone who appreciates character development and story telling, this show is actually so good!

Must watch for anyone who loves something like the raid 2 or movies like that in general. Even though I'm not Korean but from the UK, I have really started to appereciate these amazing Korean shows they have been putting on Netflix.

Haven't been hooked to a show from the first episode in a while and this has done it. I can't wait for season 2! I hope they put they make a season 2 because it defo deserves it. Even if they make a tournament style movie it would be cool!

I've been watching kdramas daily for ten years now and there are some incredible kdramas which typically fall apart at the end, or sometimes in the middle. But Bloodhounds is consistently thrilling and gripping throughout. With a simple premise but incredible characters, direction, good action, exciting performances all round, Bloodhounds has everything you could want from an action thriller.
