Fantastic thriller
I hadn't heard much about this drama but I love the FL and the ML looked intriguing. The premise is cool - slightly futuristic and the plot makes sense yet has great twists and turns. The acting is fantastic. I am usually more inclined to love a romance and that's not what this is... but the leads have such great chemistry that you know something is there.I strong recommend this drama. It woukd be a perfect one for a couple to watch together.
It seems like there might be a season 2 but i havent read that there is. It stands alone as is.

One of the best 2024 drama so far
This take to the sf genre is so freaking awesome.. the story, the execution, the leads nd the chemistry between them was really perfect.Even though there is overflowing chemistry, this is NOT a romance story so don't sh*t on it just coz there's no romance.
Tbh I'd give it a 10/10 fr everything except the last ep.. idk how I feel about that. too messy fr me to comprehend.
I hope there is a second season nd they explain everything there.
otherwise this is really good, refreshing and unique for a kdrama and I love it.
definitely recommend.

A thriller amidst a futuristic vegan world
BF (Blood Free) is an organisation headed by ChaeWoon which manufactures cultured meat (man-made meat) and has monopolised its market. In the beginning you get the feeling that will cover various merits and demerits of vegan industry like its impact on livelihood of people involved in meat industry. Or loss of livelihood being one of necessary sacrifices need to stop the cruelty against animals. Or the side-effects of cultured meat.But, soon enough they take the drama in direction of thriller/mystery genre. There are 2 mysteries involved - one is ongoing which involves JaYoo and second one which happened in past involves ChaeWoon.
ChaeWoon is a former soldier who got pushed out of his original career because of mystery number 1. Solving mystery 1 is life's mission for ChaeWoon. And to solve it he has to become bodyguard of FL.
Story can take 2 directions - cultured meat or finding the culprit behind 2 incidents.
From the looks of things it looks to be going towards the latter.
Maybe to conclude they will hopefully show cultured meat related dilemmas at the end.
BGM is nice. Since, both ML and FL are veteran actors, as expected they are doing decent enough with their roles.
With just 2 episodes, it is difficult to exactly feel excited about it yet, Next few episodes will be make-it or break-it for me.

Power corrupts, but does it have to corrupt one's soul, too?
I wholeheartedly believe there is some truth in every fictional story. Blood Free is no exception, especially in the way it depicts how the 1% delusional wealthy believe themselves to be superior to everybody else and think, not just accept but demand that the laws of man and land not apply to them in any way, shape, or form. They deserve not only elitism, amorality, but immortality just because they are wealthy boggles the mind. It makes me wonder. I know power corrupts, but does it have to corrupt one's soul, too? How can a parent such as Seon Woo Jae's ( I love me some Lee Hee Joon) mother, who loves her child so much, have such disregard for someone else's child; what makes them think only their child is precious? I will never understand. That said, what a brilliantly made drama!Watching a fantastic show on TV or a great movie in the theatre sometimes leaves us thinking about what made that so great and why it moved us or made us nervous. I have come to understand that a TV show or movie can only become influential when all the key elements such as plot, character, thought, diction, spectacle, musical score, mystery, action, directing, and acting are done correctly -- all of which were intelligently weaved in Blood-free to make it beyond excellent, superb in fact. I think Blood Free is undoubtedly one of the best K-dramas Disney+ has ever produced, right there with A Shop for Killers, if not the best. Kudos to all, especially Han Hyo Joo. She was outstanding, and so was Ju Ji Hoon and everybody else. When I started this drama I thought Yoon Ja Yoo the most impactful character but by the end of it On San (Lee Moo Saeng) left an even bigger mark. The mere fact that this was only 10 episodes, made me believe there would be a second season to it. I await it, patiently.
