Blood Free Episode 3, 4 review

Episodes 3 and 4 spiral into a convoluted plotline, unlike the clear premise of the initial two episodes. The web series follows the usual trope of past and present timelines to add mystery to the storyline. However, the constant switch without a robust flashback or development in the story does not add value. Even the characters are not explored in depth and seem to have a blurred motive for their existence.

The clash between technology and humanity, along with a twist of political propaganda, adds mystery to the narrative. However, for now, it is mainly focusing on episode-driven narrative rather than the overall development of the web series.

Blood Free Episode 3, 4 verdict

Disney+ Hotstar’s sci-fi thriller K-drama Blood Free fails to retain attention because it delves heavily into a complex storyline. Despite having actors like Han Hyo-joo and Ju Ji-hoon in lead roles, the makers underestimate their presence with a confusing narrative rather than focusing on their characters. However, since the drama is still in its initial few episodes, there are hopes that the story will go in the right direction in the upcoming week. Stream it if you like to watch dedicatedly and are fans of sci-fi thrillers.
