South Korean actor Rain (Jung Ji-hoon), known as the husband of actress Kim Tae-hee, is set to make his debut as a villain in the highly anticipated Netflix series 'Bloodhounds' Season 2, which is confirmed to premiere on April 3.
'Bloodhounds 2' follows the story of Gun-woo (Woo Do-hwan) and Woo-jin (Lee Sang-yi), who, after taking down a notorious illegal loan shark gang, now face a global illegal boxing league where money and violence reign supreme. The series promises another round of thrilling action as the duo delivers knockout punches in their fight against corruption.
The first season of 'Bloodhounds,' released in 2023, captivated audiences with its gripping bare-knuckle action, as two young boxers took on the illegal loan shark world. Returning after three years, Season 2 expands the universe beyond illegal loans to a global illegal boxing league, offering evolved action sequences that promise intense catharsis. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi, who are stronger and more resilient than ever, as well as Rain's transformation into a formidable villain.
The newly released teaser poster and trailer have further fueled excitement. The poster features Gun-woo and Woo-jin, battered but determined, showcasing their return as a stronger and more resilient duo. The tagline, 'Protect to the end, bite to the end,' hints at the relentless spirit of the 'Bloodhounds' as they face greater dangers in the global illegal boxing league.
The teaser trailer raises the stakes with a preview of the life-or-death showdown awaiting the Bloodhounds. After dismantling the brutal loan shark gang, Gun-woo pursues his dream of becoming a boxing champion, with Woo-jin by his side as his coach. Their bond is solidified with a promise to 'stay evil together until death.' As Gun-woo's fists grow sharper through countless battles and training, he and Woo-jin revel in victory amidst cheering crowds. However, a new threat looms, intensifying the tension.
Rain's character, Baek-jung, dominates the shadowy league with a destructive power that even topples boxing champions. Driven solely by money, Baek-jung sets his sights on Gun-woo as his next target. As the threat tightens, Gun-woo and Woo-jin prepare for battle, determined to protect what they hold dear. The Bloodhounds' second round promises a fierce fight for survival.
