Jun-ho. You still eat lunch with Young-woo, right? Yes, that's right. Is it really fun listening to her talk about whales? Well... I was fine with it at first too. I thought it was great for me since she tells me all these things when people have to make time to watch documentaries. Up to blue whales, humpback whales, and dolphins, it was honestly fun to hear about them. But when you get to narwhals, and the Yangtze river dolphins, it gets exhausting. I was crying because I failed a test, but then she came in after getting the highest grade, talking about how the whale's ancestor is the Pakicetus. It really made me want to smack her. Look, I haven't even forgotten about that wretched Pakicetus! Attorney Choi, I'm not sure if I'm following you.
There’s this person. There’s a person. And I think I’m making that person think that I don’t like that person. When you actually do like that person? Yes. What’s the matter? Just tell that person how you feel. But... it’s not that simple.
Director & Writer: Kim Joo Hwan (based on the webtoon by Jeong Chan)
Mini-review:
I'm gonna be honest: I'm not usually a big fan of these type of movies/shows and I only started this one because of the wonderful Woo Do Hwan. However, color me surprised, cause I ended up loving Bloodhounds. Sure, this story has been told a million times before, but the bromance, the incredibly lovable characters (and incredibly hateful villains!) and the showstopping action scenes take this show to the next level. I'm telling you, it's a really enjoyable experience.
On top of that, the cast absolutely delivers. The show is filled with knockout (pun intended) performances, there's not a single weak link. You can tell just how hard these actors worked to prepare for all the fights and action sequences. Oh, and I can't leave out Kim Joo Hwan's propulsive directing, which left me breathless in several episodes. I do think the final scene cut off way too suddenly, and the sort-of-time-jump in episode 7 is also rather awkward, but I guess it's understandable, considering all the trouble the show went through during post-production. Anyway, Bloodhounds took me by surprise, and I think most people who like action movies/shows focused on hand-to-hand combat will love this.
