Review of Blood as of Episode 8

Published by

I still think this is a decent drama and if you have some time on your hands, you should watch it! I just have a few comments WHICH  YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT STARTED ON THIS DRAMA. I have a few conjectures at the moment. Maybe Episode 9 and 10 have already proven me wrong, but I thought that I should just write these thoughts down anyway – guessing is always part of the fun in watching dramas! CONJECTURE #1: Love is the way to become ‘human-like’. When Ri Ta holds Ji Sung’s hands, he calms down (alternatively, gets distracted) almost immediately.

I read somewhere that fans hated the acting in blood, that Goo Hye Sun was really ‘muted’ in her acting and that Ahn Jae Hyun was not living up to the male lead expectations.

As for Ahn Jae Hyun, I do think he has a bit of baby-face and it’s harder to incite that fangirling in me for him, but overall, I thought his acting was not bad. Not the best, but nowhere near being sucky. I’m looking forward to seeing how this will all turn out!(: …
