thrilling without a story
If the goal of #Bloodhounds2 was to pump adrenaline through the Iron Knuckle Fighting Championship battles, it succeeded—these fight scenes are far better than those in the first season. But if the aim was to tell a compelling story about bravery, it falls flat.
I appreciate that the leads feel like true leads and the supporting characters aren’t overwhelming, yet the drama still fails to convey what it wants to. Perhaps it aimed to showcase heroism or a mission to save the lead, but to me, it comes across as an empty screenplay.
As for the leads, they’re some of the weakest male characters I’ve seen in an action K-drama. Sadly, both Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi feel better suited as supporting characters than heroes.
It’s good to see Rain take on a villain role, but he doesn’t leave a strong impression. He could learn a thing or two about being a captivating villain from Chansung (2PM), who truly steals the scenes he’s in.
Still, it’s not a complete waste of time. The fight sequences have definitely leveled up, but the story itself remains underwhelming.
