It seems your mind, too, has gotten lost somewhere amidst the fight sequences of Bloodhounds. You have absolutely…
Don’t argue with a crass mind… she thinks only action and seriousness define a drama’s entertainment standard for the audience, as if that’s the only thing that should please and cater to them. Girl lives in a tiny world.
After watching Episode 8: first word- brilliant. This is the kind of drama where the research and authenticity are top-level; you can clearly feel the realism and the characters’ intellect, and it naturally grabs your attention. It’s a slow-burn poison, where things move carefully and deliberately. I’m loving the direction and performances, they’re truly fantastic.
The music is also very uniquely scored; it has its own identity compared to others. It deals with a wide range of emotions. Till now, for the most part, we’ve gone through struggles, harshness, and hardships, but even within that, there’s humor that prevents the drama from tipping into depression. That’s the genius of the maker.
I love how they don’t want it to be just sad and heavy, but rather about growth and resilience. So I’m enjoying it to the fullest and really loving the dynamics that have been established. I can’t wait to see how Ji Feng begins his work, the steps he takes to make it impactful and real, and how Xi Mi Yu will play a larger role in this.
Just one complaint, why only two episodes a day? It’s killing me. Joker’s part, I’ll write my other thoughts later. Till then, happy watching.
He’s just bad. And it’s a mystery how he’s getting roles of this magnitude, he doesn’t even deserve a…
Sorry to disappoint many, but I really don’t find him handsome. And yes, handsomeness in a drama is cool—they should cast visually appealing actors because that’s also a tick box for making a great drama. But at the same time, actors need to bring something to the table in terms of dialogue delivery and performance. The best example I can think of right now is Byeon Woo-seok. That’s what I’d call handsome with acting performance. He’s not a brilliant actor, but he’s good enough and has something to offer through his performance.
Just finished it: I loved it, this was brilliant. The way the action sequences were choreographed, I bow down to that and the director. It was just too, too good. The performances and the sound mix were all top-notch. I’ve just finished it, and I can’t stop thinking about A Shop for Killers Season 2, I don’t know why. But this IP and this series have really set a new standard for boxing-themed dramas in world cinema, tbh. Now I want to explore even more brutal and authentic ones, let’s keep more seasons coming, we want Season 3. And Woo Do-hwan, you’ve won a fan in me.
Thanks, but how do I distinguish between wuxia, xianxia, and xuanhuan? They often list everything as wuxia in the genre, so do I have to work it out by reading the synopsis?
After watching Ep 1: late to the party, but what a banger of a start. The direction and performances are insane, season 2 already sets the tone for where it’s heading. The sound mix, editing, and production are crazy good. And btw, idk if it’s a Netflix issue or what, but the brightness felt dim , don’t know if anyone else felt that too.
I know it’s a martial art, but is it always that over-the-top? Like, everyone talks like gods and the whole vibe feels so dramatic. I don’t know why, but I just can’t connect with that kind of world. If you’re into Wuxia, do you have a good series to recommend- something in the middle, with fantasy but not too extreme?

Synopsis looks like smart addition of chinese Communist Party propaganda ,hope I'm wrong.
