Netflix series Bloodhounds season 2 released character stills showing the bloody, do-or-die showdown between Woo Do Hwan, Lee Sang Yi and Jung Jihoon.
The Netflix series Bloodhounds season 2, which tells the story of Geonwoo (Woo Do Hwan) and WOOJIN (Lee Sang Yi), who took down a brutal illegal loan shark gang, landing another satisfying straight hook against a global illegal boxing league ruled by money and violence, has released character stills.
First, Geonwoo's determined gaze, returned having grown even more, grabs attention. After a fierce bloody fight that succeeded in wiping out the illegal loan shark gang, Geonwoo begins another fight against a new threat to protect his loved ones. With the "hound" look, rewrapping his bandages and warming up his fists, there is even a sense of grim resolve in his appearance.
Expressing that he was honored to be part of season 2, Woo Do Hwan said he focused on acting, noting, "Compared with season 1, Geonwoo's environment has changed, including his home, and he pursues his dream of becoming champion with a slightly more relaxed mind," and added, "Because three years have passed, I tried to show Geonwoo's growth both physically and mentally."
Meanwhile, WOOJIN's appearance, who has become Geonwoo's boxing coach, is also intriguing. WOOJIN, who met Geonwoo as a rival in boxing competitions and fought tough battles together, forging their friendship, is now Geonwoo's reliable supporter outside the ring, accompanying him on his journey to become champion. But his resolute gaze that never backs down before enemies still hints at the heart of a boxer living and breathing in WOOJIN's actions, raising expectations for his performance. Lee Sang Yi, noting the change that came to WOOJIN, said, "If WOOJIN in season 1 was like a rascal, in season 2 you will see a more mature and dependable WOOJIN who is tightly united in his desire to protect his mother, Geonwoo and family," adding to the anticipation.
Baekjeong (Jung Jihoon), who will inject explosive tension by clashing with Geonwoo and WOOJIN, is also exceptional. He is the figure who runs a global illegal boxing league driven by massive viewership and huge bets, moving solely for money. His overwhelming, powerful visuals and a fishy smile that seems to enjoy the situation hint at the face of a villain with merciless offensive power.
Taking on a villain role for the first time since his debut, Jung Jihoon introduced Baekjeong, saying, "Baekjeong is a very cruel, bloodless, tearless human weapon. He dreams of becoming a champion but ultimately fails to become one and creates an illegal boxing league in the shadows, reigning as a king within it," and added, "I focused on the instincts that come from Baekjeong's interior. I wanted to express a sensitivity and sharpness as if always holding a blade," which made audiences curious about the new "evil" he will complete.
Above all, hot expectations are gathering for the chemistry between Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi, who captivated global fans with perfect bro chemistry in season 1, and Jung Jihoon, who newly joins as the villain. Director Kim Juhwan said, "The number of episodes shot with actors Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi exceeded 270. The two actors feel like family, brothers and mentors. They showed an even deeper bromance this time. It was moving to see them rely on and help each other and promote each other's growth," raising expectations for the two's unique rapport.
Regarding Baekjeong, he said, "If Myeonggil in season 1 was the leader of the wolves, Baekjeong is a gigantic tiger. He hunts alone, is more ferocious than anyone and is lethal," and added, "Jung Jihoon is an iconic actor for his generation. I thought no other actor could possess that enormous aura and the physicality and action capability to threaten Geonwoo," expressing deep trust.
The hounds' spectacular return to protect to the end and bite to the end, the more brutal ranks of evil, and action and scale evolved to a higher degree will deliver ultimate catharsis. Netflix series Bloodhounds season 2 will be released worldwide on Netflix on Apr. 3 (Fri).
