## Synopsis

Blood (2015) is a South Korean vampire medical drama created by Park Jae-bum for KBS2. Across one season of twenty hour-long episodes, surgeon Park Ji-sang (Ahn Jae-hyun) leads a double life: he is a skilled doctor fighting to save his patients while secretly a vampire who constantly craves blood. The engine of the series is the tension between his clinical duty and his hidden hunger, as he must keep his condition concealed from colleagues and the people around him while his compulsions grow harder to control. Supporting characters include Lee Jae-wook (Ji Jin-hee), Yoo Ri-ta (Ku Hye-sun), and Min Ga-yeon (Sohn Su-hyun), whose lives intersect with the hospital and his secret. Each episode weaves operating-room tension with nocturnal dread, so that the hospital drama and the horror register sit side by side. The tone is brooding and emotionally heavy, with moments of melancholic romance and paranoia. Set in contemporary Seoul, the show uses hospital corridors and city nights to build its atmosphere. Fans of Hannibal, Being Human, and Let the Right One In will find resonance in its blend of medical procedure, supernatural hunger, and moral unease.
