"Bad boys, bad boys!"

"Bad boys, bad boys! What'cha gonna do when they come for you!?"

Seriously the "bad boys" music for the vampire Bad Boys Gang is too funny. Every time it hits it's so over the top. In fact a lot of the music is. There's this campy vampire tune, an over dramatic one that really gets the blood pumping. It's both atrocious and wonderful. What's more is that in the middle of all that campy music is BANG BANG : Jessie J ft Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj! Crazy placement, but at least it was a bar scene.

The whole gang of bad boys intrugues me, while making my eyes roll. The cliffhanger were the Bad Boy Gang (it's official now) is testing Ji Sang out is an adrenaline rush! While one of the Bad Boys Gang (with super bad hair and a ugly bad boy jacket) makes these crazy evil smile faces at Ji Sang. I was more focused on him and what his next facial expression would be than Ji Sang getting shot at.

That said Ri Ta isn't getting any better. The whole idea is that she is still upset over Ji Sang being right about her being a bad doctor that she can't see past that. She can't see that her Uncle simply wants her to become smarter so that he doesn't have to save her. There's a moment when her mother (a nun) is being admitted that's very tender, but then she treats her patients like nothing. Never thinking that she could learn some things from her peers.

On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold. (But why sleep on an ice bed and take ice baths?)
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves.
- Vampirism is caused by a virus.
- Super strength and speed.

So far I like the slow reveal of information on vampires. I'll probably be keeping a running list at the bottom of my episode reviews. (Because I'm nerdy like that.) It's nice that the writers are trying to create some mythology around there vampires, and give them limitations that will hopefully be consistent throughout the show.

The rest of the cast is getting a nice development time as more players are introduced and stakes are being set. I like this slow tease where viewers can get to know the characters and not get an info dump. Or they're simply not given anything. It's probably what's going to save Ri Ta for me, as we get hints of her past and her current relationship with her Uncle. While the develop of the villians is really campy (yeah I'm mainly thinking the Bad Boys Gang) the new female villain seems promising. Though I feel like she might just be tossed in as a love complication later on down the line.

Also, I'm bothered by the timeline. As some stated Ji Sang was in his 30s and the last stated date was in the 90s. So I'm wondering if this is current time? Future? It could be the subtitles didn't pop up right to tell me the current date. So I'll just assume it's present day.

Overall I'm digging Blood. I love all the medical mumbo jumbo, Ri Ta and Ji Sang butting heads, the other doctors seem interesting, the villain is good eye candy, there's plenty of mysteries, and other interesting characters to explore. Even the robot doesn't annoy me as much. (Though I think Luuvy is still going to far.) At this point I think I'm in it for the long haul. Despite others I've seen worst acting, scripts, and dramas then this. Blood is hitting all of the sweet spots for me right now.
