Blood

Honestly, I wasn't sure how Blood was going to turn out. It has decent reviews but not the best. I'm glad I decided to watch it anyway. I really enjoyed the show.
I love the fact they took a different approach with vampires. They didn't go with the stereotypical vampire and decided to show a different side to how vampires came to exist. Everything is medical based instead and I think that was a cool idea.
I will say the show did slow down a bit in the middle though. It was really good at first, then it became a little repetitive in the middle, and then back to good at the end. The middle of the series did have some good surprises though so definitely watch through the whole thing.
The ending had me all over the place so get ready for that!
I'd watch this again but I'd probably skip through some of middle episodes.

I am not a fan (anymore) of all this fantasy and vampire stuff and things like that. However, I had Blood on my "Plan to watch" list for some time already and as I had time on my hands and nothing particular to watch, I decided to give it a go. I didn't have any expectations, which was good because then I would have been even more disapointed.

Story:
Park Ji Sang was born with a virus that lowers his body temperature and makes him crave blood - commonly known a vampire. However, this virus is not known to the world and there are only a few infected people. He works as a doctor and dedicates his life to healing people instead of killing them. At the new hospital he meets Yoo Ri Ta, ab aspiring doctor who is also part of the family that owns the hospital, and also closely connected to Ji Sang's past. Enter Lee Jae Wook, the new director of the hospital, also infected with the vampire virus and connected to Ji Sang in certain ways. For more, watch it yourself.
However, don't expect a love story, or a doctor's drama or a fantasy story. At least, not completely. That's also where I see the huge disadvantage of this drama. It wants to be so much, but is nothing completely in the end. There are some, actually very few, romantic scenes. I had wished for so much more!! There is a whole lot medical storytelling going on, with medical terms being thrown around, like they were talking about what to eat for lunch. Quite annoying and seemingly only there, so there is at least SOMETHING. The storyline that really got me was the one with Jung Hae In's character. I would have loved for the drama to evolve around him and his story instead!

Acting/Cast:
The acting was okay. Nothing overwhelmingly great, but not too bad either. I always find it hard to review the acting and cast when I already don’t like the story much. Let’s just say they acted how they were supposed to, however the roles were just shitty.

Music:
Was there any special music? Don’t think so. It was okay, nothing very annoying.

Rewatch Value:
To say it in my bias’ words: NO! (sry for the reference to Tae xD)

Overall:
So the story was all over the place, the characters weren’t very well developed, and overall the drama was too long! 16 episodes would have been more than enough for this story! Just watch if you have really NOTHING else to do!

You'll think that it will be a struggle for a vampire to be a doctor, let alone a sergeant. And yet, in blood, most of the doctors working in the hospital are vampires. Okay, they are not called vampires, but the infected by an uncured various that has similar effects just like a vampire. Even though its twenty episodes long, the plot don't let the drama get boring and keeps the interest high even till the very end. The blood scenes were a little too much, but bearable, though the romance was mild. The hospital politics and that villain doctor and his plots were very entertaining. However, I really didn't like the ending, as it was confusing, because of the very last scene. So, 6 out of 10.

I love how in this drama the romance starts in the middle. It's the first drama well Korean drama that has used vampires in it. There is a lot comedy and action. I love how the guy answers back to the girl when she asks him questions or when she makes assumptions and when she starts to talk about him and make fun of him. it really pisses her off when he does that. which makes their relashionship even cuter. I just wish they made another season to it. one more thing to this drama. after this dram ended the main actor and the main actress fell in love in real life and got married. so happy for them.

I watched this drama a while ago, but I stumbled upon its page today and saw that it had an overall rating of 7.4, so I thought I ought to make a review telling everyone not to believe that rating. I'll be honest, I watched this drama because it had Ahn Jae Hyun, dealt with vampirism, and was fairly well rated. It was actually one of the first dramas I ever watched and even then I knew that it was bad. The first seven or so episodes are OK, but after that point, the whole show just goes completely downhill. I feel like I sped through the beginning of this drama because it had genuinely good content, but as the show went on I found myself waiting days between each episode because forcing myself to watch it was miserable and I just couldn't do it. Side-note: don't even get me started on that ending. I mean what the hell was that? In conclusion, this drama is an idea that wasn't well thought out and could have been easily squeezed into ten episodes (or less) and still had the same content without anything lost. Please don't watch this, for your own well-being.

I really enjoyed watching this series! I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea but i really liked it, there aren't a lot of vampire kdramas or dramas in general out there and this one is definitely one of the better ones! If you like the kind of vampire drama i highly recommend this drama! It's like a normal drama just with vampire added to it. This was one of my first dramas and it made me fell in love with dramas! The plot does is somewhat similar to other dramas, but overall i liked it._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I'll say, just go watch it, It's worth it!

It was a very good drama. Unless for personal grudges with the actors and actresses, there's nothing much to hate on in this drama

My favorite part in the story was how the writer presented the logic of vampires being infected by a virus and how that concept was religiously maintained throughout the drama that alone is gold point for the script writer.

I'm very much vexed at the finale, it almost or did rubbish the entire story. The writer ought to have calmed down and developed a breathtaking ending since he really did a good job with whole thing until the finale. The last part might have you ramming your head to the ground in frustration but a good drama nevertheless. I recommend a watch because you can't say no to seeing a kdrama at least once😊

The tags, "Action, Comedy, Medical, Melodrama, Romance, Suspense, Vampire" might be tagged wrongly. This drama is not for someone who expects a lot of romance or comedy, it have some elements in the drama but it's not big enough to someone who wants to watch it for the romance or comedy factor.
The Gu Hye Seon's portrayal of her character wasn't good, it was unstable. Despite problems here and there, I actually ENJOYED watching the drama. It was great for me, I finished the series in 2 days. I also liked how the antagonist is revealed quite early in the series unlike other dramas where protagonist reveals the antagonist and takes him/her down. But overall the drama has lots of flaws and un-stability. Lots of questions arises from the last episode but, true to one of the tags, the drama kept us at suspense.
I really quite enjoyed this show, it made me tear up at some part. Do give it a try especially if you enjoy mystery show, but don't try it if you don't like rushed or vague or ambiguous ending.
Although it's a slight spoiler after here, please don't continue reading it if you mind and dislike spoiler. Here goes~
I saw some synopsis and review of the last episode with questions like who or what or how(etc), did Ahn Jae Hyeon's character Park Ji Sang appear again? Is it his doppelganger (etc) or something? But isn't it because like what Doctor Jung said? That there's a possibility that Park Ji Sang can live without a heart. Well, there's many unknown factors and unstable part to the show, but, generally I quite enjoyed it.

DO YOU LIKE CRYING

This show is honestly hit or miss so I understand where people come form when they said they hate it or they like it. I'm not a huge fan of fantasy or supernatural but I thoroughly enjoyed this show, probably mainly because I like that they're a couple in real life but also because the chemistry was dope between the leads. The good people are really good and you grow to love them and the bad people are well really bad and you grow to hate them basically. A lot of the show is a little confusing but honestly, it's entertaining for the aspect of just watching it and also to let time pass by so honestly all in all, I liked the show. It was pretty worth it. It's cliche in the romance and throw back story but it's also cool with the whole vampire supernatural and antidote type stuff ya know. I liked it, see for yourself though. I bawled my eyes out in the end bruh.

It wasn't terrible, but.. Not great. In terms of acting, I understand how most people felt about the acting of the leads. However, I feel like their character fits in with their role, considering that almost all of them seemed to be such cold (& sometimes stiff) characters. Plot line was definitely interesting too - people started asking about the drama because the plot line was so interesting. But with how I feel about this drama, now that it's over, is that I feel sad indeed, but with this ending I also feel relieved. Yet there are still many questions that need to be answered, & I don't like having hanging questions because it indicates some plot holes.
