Bloodhounds has debuted at No. 6 on FlixPatrol’s global chart for top shows on Netflix.
Helmed by Midnight Runners director Kim Joo Hwan, this gripping Korean Netflix series tells the story of two young men entangled in the dangerous world of loan sharks, as they fight for their lives against a ruthless organization that prioritizes money over human lives.
The show features Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi in standout performances as Gun Woo and Woo Jin, talented boxers with a strong sense of justice. Heo Joon Ho and Park Sung Woong shine as Chairman Choi, a legendary figure in the private loan industry, and Myung Gil, the cunning leader of an illegal loan company. Kim Sae Ron also delivers a notable performance, although her involvement in a drunk driving incident during filming caused controversy.
Here are some reactions from viewers who have immersed themselves in this thrilling series:
“Woo Do Hwan: Is money important?
Lee Sang Yi: What’s more important than money?
Woo Do Hwan: The heart of a boxer!
Lee Sang Yi: …
Seriously, this scene made my heart flutter so much ^^”
우도환:형은 돈이 중요해?
이상이:돈보다 중요한게 뭐가 있어?
우도환:복서의 심장!
이상이:…진심 이 장면에서 심쿵했다 ^^#사냥개들

“Kim Sae Ron in #Bloodhounds is so pretty and a fighter, was so excited for this cos it’s been awhile for her, glad they couldn’t cut her scenes for 5 eps cos it’s a major plot. This might be her last role for a long time, disappointed, happy and annoyed with her at the same time.”

“The plot may have been simple & predictable but the trio between Hyeon Ju, Gun Woo and Woo Jin gave this drama heart and humour. Plus the choreographed fight & action scenes, as well as the extra friends made along the way made this such a nice binge. #Bloodhounds“

“No other duo of partners against crime could give what they gave us. Gun Jin are the perfect representation of friendship. THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR EACH OTHER. Their ending was incredible cause they stayed together being the family they are, MY SOULMATES.”

“I was amazed by the actors’ performances because I could visibly feel the growth of Gun Woo and Woo Jin throughout all eight episodes. Their mental strength, dignified presence, and physicality were remarkable. They exuded an aura and atmosphere akin to real bloodhounds. The two of them were completely different between the beginning and the end. I’m curious about their approach to portraying the characters. Thank you for the wonderful performances.”

全8話の中でゴヌウジン2人の成長を目に見えて感じられたから俳優すご…ってなった。精神的な強さ、肝が座った貫禄、身体の大きさ。まるで“猟犬”のようなオーラと雰囲気を放って。最初と最後ではまったく違う2人。役作りの仕方が気になるくらい。演じてくれてありがとう pic.twitter.com/UQzQq1Xits— 𝓇𝒶𝓃 (@tokimekinoame) June 11, 2023
