Reviews by People

The creators of this drama spent significant amount of time creating Yun Ja-Yu character. I am always left behind following YJY’s train of thoughts.(i am an average joe kind of person). When she said things such as how things will pan out, i didnt get it till it really takes place. And i would go “…wow she is right after all…”
They set her character as being consistent throughout the series. She got the gumption,wont hesitate to take on seemingly huge risks but actually those were well-measured risks. Always ahead of the curve, once she made up her minds on something, she sticks with the plan.
She didnt know yet till several ep later, who are her enemies so she is working on it. She set the sequence of events which make her enemies scramble and show their true faces. She could concoct that plan to voice phising that traitor lawyer’s voice. That was one nasty plan. And she is highly intelligent, her face is the face of a highly intelligent person. Her is the opposite of dumb face.lol.
A brave person, soft spoken, highly educated talking, but not trying to look or to sound educated, she doesnt need to proof herself before others, so she talks in plain language. effective and efficient. Not pompous style. Her voice she keeps it at certain level when she talks publicly or during business meetings. Never seen her smiles in front of others, when she grab the phone we are expecting a big leap which “shake everyone off”, etc., etc.
I could talk two paragraphs more about her. My point is, Yun Ja-Yu character is seriously well-prepared. They /the creators spent hours of meeting creating her, i think. They made her like that. I remember Cheong Song Yi from My Love from The star. That one is about the same in-depth character build up, in comparison with Yun Ja yu. But YJY’s is way more comprehensive.
So having said all that, I want to thank all parties responsible for Yun Ja Yu character creation. Thank you so much… When she asked the AI voice yeongshil to say the sms from woo chae won that he was leaving (to Dubai) using his voice, did this imply that she kind of wanted to hear his voice? so subtle. lol.

First episode started slow – bit confusing – so I put it on hold. Then a week later in the news, 2 states in the United States banned “cultured meat” to protect farmers. How relevant. So I binged over a rainy weekend – and I was not disappointed – a well done, slow building, mystery of politics, business, greed, and sci-fi.
The Kdramas have a knack for producing imaginative sci-fi dealing with timely issues of the day. Space Sweepers about space junk, The Silent Sea about the survival of the human race, Memories of the Alhambra about virtual game violence.
Looking forward to a Blood Free Season 2. I want to see where the story evolves.

It’s all good until the last episode confuse the hell out of me. It’s like watching “Grid” all over again, the storyline is so exciting and it keeps getting better and better each episode so your expectation is high, but it all crumbles down on the last episode. Not a single soul can understand the ending. As expected from the same writer though.. I really want to have a one-on-one meeting with him/her to understand their mind, LOL. What I’m trying to say is it would be better to have a less complicated conclusion to wrap up this drama.
Anyway, I’m going to miss Han Hyojoo and Ju Jihoon’s chemistry. The tension between them throughout the drama is top notch. I hope they’ll have another project together again in the future. A melodrama perhaps? :’)

i like how FL runs the co. She is the absolute leader. All the directors follow her order. The depiction of her handling the crises is well prepared by the writing team and Fl. I mean look at her during that directors meeting discussing the hacking. She stood quietly but she was all ear listening to all her lieutenants doing the talk. She even asked them what do they think she should do. She already lined up her options,but still scooping for inputs. For teens viewers that scene probably something they could learn a bit about corporate decision makers dynamics.
When she started talking all listened up and follow the order. I mean, even I said “yes maam..” because Fl character is believeable. Awesome HHJ. Her demeanour is perfectly crafted. Frowning, deep in thoughts, talking plainly and quietly even scary. Michael Corleone did that when he realized someone deep in the family has betrayed him after the assasination attempt on him and his wife. Not saying HHJ followed Michael C.’s demeanor but maybe that was how big shots reacted in similar situation. Anyway HHJ ssi…you go girl….! Anyway arent they the rather proper age group for roles in top executive position?

….this is the latter comment after the below one. the reason of that staring at each other for a split sec scene is that FL needs to re-establish the boss and worker code of conduct. Coz ML first time met FL gave the impression to FL that ML is calling the shot. by “marching down toward her and gave that boss-like talk saying she should stay away from the window.
FL was taken aback a bit by showing she moved her hands protecting herself. She lost her ground here, and gave that weakling impression to ML. And of course, later on, she did re-establish her authority upon ML by staring at each other contest later on (in comment below). So having said all that, I want PD nim to know that we viewers truly apreciate these hard-to-create scenes. We are fully aware of the existency of these scenes, these meticulously thought scenes. Keep up the good works…!
