Blood (2015)

So it take me some time to Complete this drama
some i really dont know of i was going to like this drama i have kind of see Gu Hye Seon in Boys Over Flower i said kind of cuzs that drama wasn't for me. I kind i didn't like her in that drama to much but watching this with her in it i get to like her bit more. With Ahn Jae Hyeon this was my first drama with him in it and i like hes acting and i think he played an vampire will.

Ok on the drama the acting in this drama i some what like and enjoy i feel like then wasnt anyone i didnt really like the acting off like i said before i was up and drown about Gu Hye Seon acting but in this i get to like for a bit better again that just how i feel about her. all in i really did like the acting and cast and i have to say i really like Jung Hae In how played Joo Hyun Woo it was my first time seeing in a drama i really hope to see more of him.
The story of the i like i have to say then are some part i dont know how to feel about but all in all i still like it and stuff but i still kind of dont get the ending of it.. The music of the drama was ok i did like some of the music but not much of it.

An intense and quite bloody (hehe) rollercoaster of emotions, unpredictable plot twists and unexpected villains.

Despite me not being a fan of vampire stories, this drama turned out as a quite pleasant surprise. The way writers carried out the whole ‘vapire’concept using medical explanations, just worked for me. The story felt more realistic, more tangible that way (or maybe it’s just the fact that I like to rationalize everything..)

Now the story with it’s many unexpected (and believe me when i say ‘unexpected’) plot twists was what really kept my interest till the very end. Let’s put it this way – I’m one of those serious cases of ‘drama droppers’. Once the story gets too draggy or boring, I drop it without the second thought. Yet here I was, marathoning through “Blood” episodes like no tomorrow.

I found myself so attached to the characters it was almost physically painful to part, and I’m not talking only about the main ones. The actors did a great job.
While I’m not too fond of Gu Hye Seon’s acting, watching the romantic development and chemistry between the leads made my heart stir. Heck, it’s a must see drama for heavy ‘shippers’ solely for the fact that the both actors got actually merried after it! (*stay calm and keep shipping* cause here’s the proof that it might actually sail ;p)
Oh, and how could I forget.. Props to Ahn Jae Hyun and his first leading role! Getting on my favourite actors’ list, you sexy devil..


Overall a great medical drama for original story line lovers as well as action and suspense genre seekers, with a bit of romance comedy thrown in it.
Or just watch it for the one-in-a-million real life couple. I won’t judge you ^.*

Be nice guys, it's my first review. I'll keep it short, just cuz I don't like long reviews. To be honest, this drama is either love or hate for the audience, and luckily for me, it was love. I can see why there are bad ratings and good ratings. It's not the type of thing everyone likes. The acting was incredible, especially by Ji Jin hee. I hated his character so much I swear I was gonna flip. I started watching this drama because of Ahn Jae Hyun, but his acting was kinda awkward in the beginning, got better nonetheless. He was more in character. Basically, most of the actors and actresses did a superb job, in my opinion. The plot, or rather, the ideas in this drama was amazing, would have never thought of such a thing. There's quite a bit of life lessons, which I actually reflected upon throughout the drama. Osts were not especially catchy, but they worked well, so good job to editing. My favourite character is Luvvy, he's adorable. And then there's Ji sang's best friend, Hyun Woo, oh my gosh, this guy and his character, just amazing. The ending... uh... was not the best? meaning the last minutes, but I don't think that's so important to get so many hateful comments about it considering how good the drama was itself. Well, this is only my opinion. I really loved it.

Well, if it's not because Ku Hye Seon, I would not watch this drama hahaha. First impression, this drama is too mainstream. It's about vampire and as the title says, blood. But, the positive points you can get is a biology, chemistry, and medical knowledge (as expected from kdrama). Things made me want to watch it until end are the super-modern technology Park Ji Sang and Hyun Woo have. Hyun Woo is a genius man, and I enjoyed anything about his experiment even it's a fiction. If you say why this drama is just 7s on its rating, for me it's the ending's fault. Its ending ruins all of the story. It's like this drama will release its 2nd part or sequel. You will hold so many question after see the last part of the last episode. And yeah, I think this drama is not over yet. Let's see if there is a sequel. Anyway, I love Park Ji Sang's character, cool and cold. HAHAHA.

this drama I had doubts I would stay with for 20 episodes but in the end I completed in binge session of last 3 episodes. I think it started out better、 then too much unconvincing romance from around episode 8 [do people really turn 180 degrees round in love-hate relationship?] spoilt it for me but more tension and plot turns and surprises toward end kept me hooked. I do think the romance element was really very weak spot in this drama and truly interfered with the drama but luckily the drama improved and in last episodes I was hooked to see what happened next. as it turned out the drama in the final ending was not for me as good as expected, although the final twist was very original and surprising. I have my own individualistic interpretation about the last two episodes and romance ending which others may not agree with but for me is as convincing as what we are maybe expected to feel 〜that is Park Ji Sang's true love was Joo Hyun Wooー there are hints all over the earlier episodes.ーso when Hyun Woo died in episode 19 Ji Sang was emotionally dead and more accepting of his own sacrifice because his true love was gone. I never found the relationship between Ji Sang and Ri Ta convincing and still less the one created from thin air between Hyun Woo and Soo Eun. I am not saying there was no feeling between him and Ri Ta, just that it was not as deep as for Hyun Woo. the only reason this was not spelled out in my opinion was because they wanted the show to conform to the conventional boy-girl romance、 the last romantic scene between Ji Sang and Ri Ta was emotional bit for me seems very artificial and conventional〜but maybe this is just my fantasy。 also what was the last part all about? total fantasy ?Ri Ta meet an unknown brother or clone of Ji Sang in Kochenia? or had she died and met him in the afterlife? just a continuation of the unconvincing romance to give sort of happy ending I feel。 but in all a very enjoyable drama with excellent start and sufficient interest to stick with to the end 。

I was bored so I just decided to watch this but I dropped it on the 4th episode. There was actually nothing special about it if I'd say. It was boring. Or maybe because I just watched 'doctor stranger' which was sooooooo good. That made me feel this one wasn't as good.

Another thing is that, gu hye sung isn't a good actress. I watched her in BOF and idk if she was alright or I was blinded by handsome boys but I didn't feel anything. This time, I realised how bad she was. Her reactions are WAY too EXAGGERATED. Like even I can act better than her. Her actions are just so awkward.

Anh Jae hyun was alright I reckon. He was pretty good. But I couldn't watch it anymore because there wasn't really anything special. It boring and there were lots of bad reviews so I decided NAHHH.

(Btw....I didn't really concentrate on the music or maybe There wasn't much so I just rated it in between)

Okay, let me start off by saying that I did not finish this drama; however, I think I have some very valid things to point out, which might help others ultimately decide if they want to watch it or not.

1. Story
Okay, I will be 100% honest, I really think the story-line to this drama is really intriguing. I think that it has many elements that are not cliche and can be found very enjoyable. I was constantly wondering when and how the story would develop and couldn't wait to find out more secrets behind the virus.

2. Actors
I will once again be completely honest. I think that most of the actors in this drama did wonderfully. I think since Ahn Jae Hyun us a relatively new actor that showed a bit and I personally have never been able to stand the acting of Gu Hye Seon; however, I think there are those who do not mind her acting and have nothing further to say about her. Anyway, the other actors did an amazing job. Whether it was from the hospital patients to the doctors and nurses, there were mostly good and great actors.

3. Execution
With everything seeming really good, some of you might want to hop on over to your favourite drama site and start watching this right now, but I have some bad news. While the cast and story are good, the execution is not. There are scenes that are extremely slow and draggy because of the way the directors chose to portray certain scenes or moments. Some scenes that only would require one or two minutes to get the point, seem to drag on for at least ten; while other moments leave you confused, because something important was glossed over too quickly.

4. The Hype and the Hate
Honestly, this is one of the many dramas that can go either way, you either love it or hate it. Honestly, I think there's a reason why. I'm not claiming this to be the truth, but I have seen this happen again and again on many occasions and even with myself when I first started dramas.

Many of the people who are giving this drama a good to moderate review, seem to be those who have not watched many dramas yet or have only been drama watching for a couple of years. Even when I first started my drama addiction, Panda and Hedgehog along with Full House Take 2 were some of the best dramas I had ever seen. Looking back on them, yeah they were good and cute, but there were so many more that were just, better.

As for the ones who seem to hate it or don't understand the hype, they are mostly what I would call veteran drama watchers. Those who have seen enough of the older dramas to recognize who the supporting roles are and can even tell in what drama the set has been previously used. These seems to be a majority of the people who can pick out the flaws a little better and were expecting more.

Now, not everyone, this is just some of my observation along with generalization, but this might help you decide if you want to watch this drama. If you're fairly new to dramas, you might like it. If you're a long time drama fan, you might not.

Anyway, I hope this can be of help. for my 2017 drama resolution, instead of resolving never to drop a drama, I am resolved to never force myself to watch one.

Blood started with a very, very good base plot. It is very unique—I watched Blood in the first place because it's a medical drama and on top of that, the protagonist, who's a surgeon, is a vampire! It's a total paradox, which made it quite interesting. How can a vampire possible operate on a patient without harming him/her?

Atisan mainly solved the problem for me, but after it stopped working, ALL SCENES INVOLVING OPERATIONS WERE GONE and it seems that it started going away from the medical genre. All hospital scenes were talk, talk, talk (or patients being given shots or being taken blood from). Nonetheless, I continued watching because I wanted to know how the problems will end but IT STILL FAILED MY EXPECTATIONS—especially the ending.

The ending left too many unanswered questions with the most important being "Were the patients in Ward 21A cured?" Because of too much focus on Ji Sang and his death wish, all the patients were ignored (or no one knows if they were really cured). The next important thing was "Who rescued Yoo Ri Ta at the end?" (Watch the ending if you haven't yet to know what I'm talking about and WHY I used "who".)

As for the acting, I'm actually more impressed with the acting of the antagonists especially Director Lee Jae Wook. He gave so much into his work that I was so pissed off by his character (which is a good thing). On the other hand, Min Ga Yeon became one of my favorite characters (the other one being Joo Hyun Woo because his life's work is my frustration in life, seriously I want to be like him) because I totally didn't expect her real nature. Her seemingly innocent character was so well-done that I truly loved her as the series went on.

Let's move on to the music. Unfortunately, music from Blood wasn't memorable to me at all. Music is there to sway our hearts, but it failed its job.

Even if I mentioned a lot of fail parts I still give the drama a high rewatch value because of the following reasons: nice startup story, Joo Hyun Woo, and LUUVY!!! LUUVY is the biggest reason I look forward to scenes at Park Ji Sang's house aside from Joo Hyun Woo. I love this robot so much.

As for those who are planning to watch blood, STILL, WATCH IT. Even if you're feeling a bit disappointed right now. The trick is, don't have high expectations (like I did). I'm not forcing you, though. After all it's a unique piece of entertainment that exists just for entertaining you. Don't get too serious over it.

*sighs*
I started to watch this kdrama just because. But I didn't think this kdrama would make me cry this much. The story is absolutely twisted! Well, what was I expecting? This is a vampire kdrama.
The actors were amazing. I liked the vampire effect, I can't deny it. The main character did it awesome.
I didn't like the story that much, it was really interesting. I was amazed every episode even tho it started a bit slow. I was like yawning a few times, then when the action came I was awake again!
It was my first drama about doctors and vampires. It's an odd combination but it was okay.
The OST wasn't bad. I liked two songs, but I expected more.
Overall, actors did it great. 10/10. But the story hurt me and got me confused. I wouldn't rewatch it.

So I started watching this drama after the lead actors got married in real life. I expected an overflowing CHEMISTRY and while there certainly was, the director seriously underdeveloped the romance storyline and overall, messed up an interesting relation that could have been unforgettable.
I wasn't completely disappointed as there are parts I really enjoyed and I adored Jung Hae In (male lead's sidekick), he was so darn pure and funny. Which is why we kinda come to resent the male lead in the end...
Male lead - Started out so strong, so intriguing and yea, so HOT as a vampire doctor. I won't deny that. For the first 5 eps I was totally on board with him and female lead, I didn't mind the slow progress, in hope that it would get better but fuvk, it does not. While other tsuderes like him melt about halfway through the drama, he just freaking doesn't, until is dumb ass decisions got everyone dear around him (almost everyone) KILLED. Wtf is that, his uselessness towards the end of the drama really frustrated me and the story dragged for so long I had to force myself through 20 eps.
Female lead - Again, started out strong as a brilliant surgeon who doesn't let anyone trample over her. I liked that. But then it became her only trait, HOLY STUBBORNESS. For the life of me I could not understand why the director let her character became so overbearing and she is always butting head with the male lead for the DUMBEST reasons.
It's unfortunate how it ends because this series started out with so much potential and an actual interesting premise. I won't say I regret watching it but I can't exactly I recommend it to anyone else either unless you want minimal romance, a bunch of random and confusing plots thrown together to keep the show "suspenseful" but actually made the story obnoxious to viewers.
I have to congratulate the actors though for making the show somewhat watchable despite the materials they've been given.
