Blood Episode 11

WHAT THE HELL

(Includes spoilers) So, you're telling me, that Rita came to Jisangs house and started to ask Hyun Woo personal questions about jisang. Hyun Woo didn't want to answer first but after Rita started to compliment him on his "smartness" and handsomeness, he immediatly decided to answer her questions?? THIS GUY NODDED??! And then he gave her data on the supressants Jisang had been taking?? ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?? NO GODDAMN WAY. I love this drama over everything, don't get me wrong, everay single episode is at least 9.5 for me, but this episode made me so mad. She's literally going to get killed because of how much she knows plus is this not something very personal?? Why was Hyun Woo like that?? That is not how a real friend should behave. AT ALL. AND THEN THAT GODDAMN ROBOT SHOWED JISANG A RECORDING OF HYUN WOO TALKING WITH RITA. HELL NO. BUT I ACTUALLY LAUGHED AT THAT. Rest of the episode was fire though. And i do get why exactly she wanted data on the supressants so i guess it's okay.

Suspicions. . .

Oh, I had my suspicions the instant this character popped up. Too innocent and sweet, too awesome. So I ended up falling in love with this character, and had doubts to whether they'd take said character there. Oh, but they did. Despite my suspicions I was still blown away, and even better is the way that THIS character ties in to the whole plot. Amazing writing! It pleases me beyond belief when a who can actually create characters and plots that fit, and don't just feel patchy as they try to fit it in. It's legit.

That said I'm liking who Ji Sang is starting to wonder if using VBT-01 to help humans is a good idea. Clearly the way Jae Wook is going about it is evil and immoral. However, what if the medicine that could be created could save the lost. Give those medical cases hope? I love a good moral dilemma.

Now to a lighter note the humor here was fantastic! Ri Ta getting jealous! Ji Sang and Ri Ta are a remarkably adorable couple and I like how for them this is new territory and they're just muddling about trying to figuring things out.

Even cooler is two supporting characters I love finally meet. Hyun Woo and Soo Eun! Not sure why, but I've wanted them to meet each other from the get go. So not only do I get to see Hyun Woo outside of Ji Sang's house, but he meets Soo Eun. The slow motion video of them meeting. To their adorable flirting is brilliant and I desperately want to see them as an item. Magic!

Blood is still going strong and I enjoy how solid the writing is. The way the characters are developing and connecting wonderful. Blood was supposed to be just a silly guilty pleasure. One I laugh off because of my love for vampires. But I like that the story, vampire mytho, the medicine, and characters are creating pretty solid show. There's no guilt in like this one!

On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- Vampires may have been extinct when the first infected died, but then they came back after the bones of dead vampires were dug up and a new virus created. (Cool idea!)
-Vampires can't taste, but can still eat whatever. (That would suck.)
- Ji Sang eats a condensed blend milk and albumin. And vegetables and little carbohydrates.
- Antibodies in the blood can have a negative effect on vampires.
- Red blood cells make them go crazy, but they don't need them.
- Vampire can't get too hot, makes them feel like they have flu/painful.
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold, and it's painful to have a normal temperature.
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves. (Or scent?)
- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Dawn and dusk sunlight burn/hurts. (Any other times?)
- Vampirism is caused by a virus. (VBT-01, Vampire Basic Type - 01)
- Super strength and speed.
