The doctor’s bloodlust is awakened in KBS’s Blood
by girlfriday
Here’s a peek at Ahn Jae-hyun’s vampire smoulder for his new drama Blood, headed to KBS on Mondays and Tuesdays next month. It wouldn’t be a proper vampire drama without some stylish brooding, so the first teaser (short as it is) doesn’t really have any other purpose than to give us a quick taste of the bloodthirsty vampire doctor hero.
Blood is the new drama from the creators of Good Doctor, starring rookie Ahn Jae-hyun (You’re All Surrounded) in his first leading role. He plays a vampire who suppresses his cravings for blood in order to treat terminally ill patients at a cancer hospital, a character described as warm and sensitive. He’s a genius (of course), and does the job no matter how hard it is for him, because he understands the sanctity of life better than anyone.
Gu Hye-sun (Angel Eyes) plays a hotshot heiress doctor, a star physician at the hospital and the niece of the board’s chairman. She’s snooty and cold, but highly capable, and used to being the golden girl. Ji Jin-hee (Warm Words) co-stars as their chief, an outwardly gentle, inwardly ambitious man who will prove to be their biggest adversary. Kwon Hyun-sang (Mandate of Heaven) is a rival bad vamp, and Jung Hae-in (Three Musketeers) plays the hero’s BFF.
The teaser is really no more than a tease: snippets of the vampire hero, a mysterious surgery, some creepy hands, lots of blood imagery. There’s one spoken line: “I am a vampire.” Am I the only one who’s disappointed we didn’t get any fang? Ahn Jae-hyun’s good at the steely gazes (he is a model after all), but call me a traditionalist — if you say you’re a vampire, you gotta show me your teeth.
This teaser doesn’t say much for the drama other than the fact that Ahn Jae-hyun looks pretty as a vampire, which, DUH. I just hope he’s up to carrying a whole drama. I’d like for Blood to give us a different take on vampire lore and style (and not just be Good Doctor with vampirism, while we’re at it), because so far he looks no different from Vampire Prosecutor, with the same blue eyes and all. Sigh, that just made me miss Vampire Prosecutor. Time to waste a day re-watching old episodes.
Blood follows Healer on Mondays and Tuesdays, and premieres February 16.

your comment made my day !
maybe if they had included guyliner, and it's a very distant maybe, i would have checked this damned thing.
but unless the plot is about a mute vampire doctor with a apathetic mother (because seriously she could play his mom) who works in the same hospital, this thing isn't doing it for me at all. are we supposed to buy a love line between two walls?

Vamp doc saves her character when she's a child so he's a lot older than she is. I may have my doubts about Goo Hye Sun but she in no way looks like she could play Ahn Jae Hyun's mom...
But I'm digging a plot twist where Goo Hye Sun falls for Ji Jin Hee instead. That would make my drama watching year, TBH.

They are three years apart in age and where do you see wrinkles on her skin that would make her look like his mother. Talk about exaggerating.!?!?!?!

Here comes the GHS haters. For God's sake it must be tiring having to repeat yourselves like that. Please do not watch Blood.
For me , the synopsis sounds interesting. This drama is a marked contrast to all those split/multiple personalities drama out there. I will definitely watch as it is the Good Doctor team and the cast including the supporting ones is an interesting mix.
For those with an open mind, just watch the first few episodes before judging. You never know you might just enjoy it. I have yet to see a flawless drama though some are more to one's liking than others.

I'm not sure who I don't like more in their respective roles - GHS or AJH. Maybe the drama just looks so bad that its making them worse than the should've looked.
Also, I get that no one accepted the drama but the production really should've tried harder to look for someone older-looking than AJH. He looks like a teenager playing hospital which doesn't help, obviously.

I actually liked Go HyeSun in Angel Eyes???? It was just the drama itself that was a little... mmnn ouch.
And everyone seems to forget that even though Ahn Jaehyun looks young, he's 27 years old already. You don't expect every baby faced actor to keep playing high school roles, do you? Then basically half of kdramas casts would never be fullfilled. So much negativism, I'm sorry.
Otherwise, I really hope this vampire drama isn't anything cringe worthy. I will definitely try it out cause it looks promising so far, if not already a little cliche. We'll see.

Plotwise, everybody knows that this is a cliche. It will really depend on the writing and acting. If none of them is more-than-mediocre then it will surely become a flop.
Castwise, I think it's time for Ahn Jaehyun to start his leading role journey. Yes it hasn't been long since he first started acting but I'm actually eager to see him carry the whole show. He will either success or fail so let's just see. Boy deserves a chance.
P.S. And thank God for once Hyesun doesn't look too old for her castmates

Will be watching this for GHS. She did a creditable job in Angel Eyes and her acting has much improved, it's more natural. It's funny how kdrama comments are generally skewed against actresses more than actors. Considering that a great majority of viewers tend to be female, it implies that we are our own worst critics.

"if you say you’re a vampire, you gotta show me your teeth." - I couldn't agree more, gf! Forget about the coloured contacts!
Still not sure why we need another geeenius doctor, but at this point, I'm just glad that it's not another mental health drama (at least, not in that way). I'm enjoying KMHM and H2H, but adding another one would be overkill.
Other random thoughts: Gu Hye Sun's so pale, she could easily play a vampire too. As for Jung Hae-in, sooo glad to see him back after his too-short stint on T3M, but I'd like to see him as a vampire too!

I am in. I don't care if there are big names or not but if tehre is an interesting storyline, 'll watch but at the end of the day it depends on how the director executed the story and how the actors played their part.
For once I am just excited about Ahn Jae-Hyun because he left me wanting for more in 'You who came from the star'. I always loved Gu Hye Sun, the person but never actually liked any of her dramas. I love her for the just the fact that she is multi talented and is a good artist.
I wished they gave new looks to the cast. AJH looks like any young idol actor with that hairstyle- very typical. GHS looks exactly like how she looked in her last drama. I like when actors get absorbed into their roles with changed appearances. Anyways I will look forward to it.

The teaser remind me with teaser and opening Vampire Prosecutor season 1. The glass broke, the paper with VAMPIRE written there full blood splater, and Ahn Jae Hyun clean the blood from his lips with his finger (Yeon Jung Hoon are doing that in teaser too). Oh, and the blue aqua eyes! But I want to see how good him in his first lead acting. Goo Hye Sun, you're so pale and skinny. I don't thought, Why Kwon Hyun Sang being a vampire for second time? I'm your fan, ahjussi. But, can you have better role to play?
