“Blood Free” is a suspense thriller drama about Yoon Ja-yoo (Han Hyo-joo), CEO of the biotechnology company BF that opened a new era of cell-cultured meat, and soldier-turned-bodyguard Woo Chae-woon (Joo Ji-hoon), who intentionally approached Ja-yoo, getting caught up in mysterious deaths and incidents.
Writer Lee Soo-yeon, who won Best Screenplay at the 54th Baeksang Arts Awards for “Stranger” , participated in writing the script for this drama. She will challenge the subject that cell-cultured meat for the first time in the K-drama world.
Expressing her feelings about “Blood Free” , Han Hyo-joo confessed, “After reading the script for the first time, I thought the subject and the story were smart because it’s something we can deal with in this era. I finished the whole script at once and I even wrote a diary on the day I read the script. I remember that I felt so happy thinking, ‘A good script like this finally came to me’. Receiving such a script made my heart beat fast” .
Joo Ji-hoon also shared, “‘Blood Free’ deals with a subject that can be a little heavy and requires deep thoughts. Lowering the entry barrier, the script made us all ask the question, ‘Why don’t we try thinking about this story?'” , adding “I admired the writer for writing a story that made us think” .
Lastly, Lee Moo-saeng said, “We’ve reached the stage where cell-cultured meat can be commercialized to some extent, and we are dealing with the problems that may arise there.”
