dillah 1,569 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Some "excerpts" from the review, *yikes* The K-netizen reactions towards the drama story line and the acting of the two leads Ahn Jae Hyun and Gu Hye Sun nicely sum up what any drama viewer with objective critique lenses would conclude after watching the first two episodes – this drama sucks, and not in a vampire sparkly romance sort of way. Blood is as much of a hot mess train wreck as the casting and previews indicated, perhaps even worse than even I expected despite dialing down my expectations. The story steals so many Twilight vampire elements the production should pay Stephanie Meyer a royalty, not to mention the medical setting narrative is as hinted lifted straight from the dramatic medical malpractice Dr. Stranger playbook. Ahn Jae Hyun’s acting in the first two episodes confirms he’s not leading man ready. He acts like he’s about to strut a runaway. Doesn’t help that he’s styled like an overly effete European model. Gu Hye Sun is indescribably bad, she’s regressed way back to the Boys Before Flowers days and is a level of shiteous overacting that actually makes Ahn Jae Hyun look slightly better. Gu Hye Sun is so awful it defies description, or shall I say the accurate descriptors to use would send her fans into fits of despair and conniptions, accusing one and all of being antis who hate her perfect soul and multi-talented beauty, whatever that means. On a superficial note, she sometimes looks very unattractive in this drama, the scrubs makes her look like a squat ahjumma with a thick neck. I honestly think Blood is the combination of two bottom-of-the-barrel elements of drama making smushed together, thereby dragging the entire endeavor much further down the black hole of suck than each individual element would merit. The bad acting from the leads could be bearable if the story was less stupid, and the supremely stupid story would be watchable in the hands of better actors. Here it’s just the worst of both worlds colliding into the explosion of the nebulae triggering spontaneous outburts of “bloody what the hell am I watching?†koalasplayground.com/2015/02/17/blood-off-to-a-bloody-awful-ratings-start-and-critical-evisceration-from-viewers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinky 15,878 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Blood sucks ass but I still don't like Koala. lol her drama opinions and reviews are very biased to those she loves. she's always flip flopping and shading those she dislike in a non related article which i find very rude one time she's bashing Yoona and Lee Jong Suk, the next time she saw them in a drama she loves them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has definitely said some harsh things about some of my faves that made me side eye her and her blog, but now I see that she is just a very blunt person. Who is not afraid to share her views. Some fans don't get that and decide to attack her in the comments of her own blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
