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.

Bloodhounds offers a thrilling and captivating experience that is sure to leave you on the edge of your seats. This action-packed series is nothing short of entertaining, delivering a compelling storyline combined with impressive action sequences.

The series weaves together an intriguing narrative filled with twists, turns, and great action. The well-crafted storyline keeps viewers guessing and eagerly anticipating each new episode.

One of the highlights of Bloodhounds is its spectacular action scenes. The choreography and execution of these sequences are commendable, delivering adrenaline-pumping moments that showcase the skills and abilities.

Moreover, the character development is praiseworthy. Each member of the team has a unique personality and background, allowing viewers to connect with and root for them. The chemistry among the actors adds depth and authenticity to their interactions.

Overall, an amazing series that successfully combines a good storyline, great action scenes, and a talented cast. With its engaging plot twists and well-executed action sequences, it keeps viewers hooked from start to finish. If you love action and enjoy binge-watching, Bloodhounds is definitely worth your time.

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!

The series is good until the 7th episode, however, some parts of the storytelling are trivial enough. Some examples:

the boys are running away without asking help in a scene;

one of the means of the boys goes faulty and the other protagonist makes nothing to approach the others in order to simplify their escape;

However the plot in general has a strong structure and a good narration at least until 7th episode.

There are many fights which are cruel enough. Some kind of excessive kindness inexplicable in cruel moments which degrades in servility also against villains. In this case the characters seem too much stereotyped unable to change their attitude.

Last episode is sufficient if not mediocre. Just as example: a villain could kill a kidnapped person although wounded but escapes suddenly albeit has the time to kill him. This example highlights a poor script. Indeed, it seems that the story is based on forced circumstances and forced happy moments. Also the involvement of a minor character in the fight seems out of context.

Moreover, last episode suffers a storytelling rather simplified such as the introduction of some sporadic funny moments and funny character as well, which contrast with the brutal context.

I believe that this series deserves a sequel but improving the quality.

The show is not as simple as you've seen it from the trailer. It has a little bit more complicated stories and characters, but not too far off. It has brotherhood, bloody fight, mukbang, and above all, it's a fast pace show. The choreography of the fights in this show is also well done. It's just as good as another korean show from Netflix, My name. The martial arts or fight actions scenes in modern korean movies and tv shows are arguably better than any other action movies whether it's from hollywood, or outside of hollywood. They has more realistic fights. It's fast and furious literally. They don't have those showy exaggerated moves that look like choreographed dance. Unfortunately, this show also has those typical cliche moments like My Name especially those tear-jerky ones. That's my biggest pet peeve in korean tv shows and movies. Although there's a sudden change of pace (It was quite a ride until episode 6), and the ending is a bit rushed and shortened, overall, the show is quiet entertaining. The fight scenes are worth visit more than once. I give solid 7.5/10.
