La Traque dans le sang

I mean, if koreans want to do quality you get quality.

This was such a ride. The story and characters hook you from the very beginning and it is so thrilling and upbeat you never get your eyes of the screen ( literally binged it for the whole 8 episodes)

The fighting choreographies are AWESOME and you can tell the immensely amount of work the main leads have put into not only to get in shape but to completely get into the mindset of a boxer and a fighter, they make the characters so believable and genuine.

I have followed Woo Do-hwan for a long time and I just cant get enough of his acting, loved his tender, caring yet fierce character here.

I absolutely loved the two main leads personalities and how well one compensates the other. They have such a strong and beautiful bond and friendship.

If i have to find some faults ( even when this was almost perfect) is maybe the length ( probably 2 episodes too long) and the dragging of the main plot, when the bad guys keep getting away with everything and the good guys make mistakes a bit too obvious, which it gets frustrating at times.

Also I loved the Tempted mini reunion with his old co start and friend Kim Min-jae, shame that they didn't have any scenes together!

Heo Joon Ho needs a special mention as well, as the good guy ( for once!) I love his acting and he manages for me to hate him with passion or love him depending on his role. This guy is absolutely chamaleonic.

Other than that, what an amazing series!!! I really hope it has a second season!

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!

Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi play amateur boxers who after facing each other in the ring become firm friends. Through family they become embroiled in taking down a ruthless loan shark who kills anybody who gets in his way. Even though they face unbelievable odds against armed gangsters using only their fists they seek to bring down his violent reign. It is a violent, bloody series and the body count is high, well choreographed fight scenes even though they are mostly unrealistic. The story becomes a little disjointed as Kim Sae Ron who plays the daughter of a kind hearted loan shark who was helping them in the earlier episodes was written out due to a D. U. I. Incident. Need to be a fan of the underdog fighting for justice to really enjoy this one.

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.

Following two boxers as they form a strong friendship whilst they overcome their struggles against an evil loan shark and his gang. Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-Yi carry this kdrama on their strong backs as they team up to overthrow the villainous loan sharks and get vengeance.
