K-drama enthusiasts were pleasantly surprised by the announcement of a possible Bloodhounds Season 2, and the anticipation has only grown with the news that K-pop sensation Rain may be joining the cast for a fresh storyline.
In 2023, one of the most popular Korean dramas on Netflix was Bloodhounds, starring Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi. The show follows the story of two aspiring boxers who confront a criminal organization and a ruthless loan shark targeting those in need of financial assistance.
Although Park Sung-woong played the role of the main villain Kim Myeong-gil in Bloodhounds Season 1, a different evil will take center stage in Season 2. According to a report by STARNEWS, Rain is currently in discussions to join the cast as the primary antagonist, succeeding Park’s character.
Netflix has acknowledged the rumors regarding casting for the second season of ‘Bloodhounds’ and has confirmed that discussions with Rain are underway. However, no final decisions have been made yet. Rain’s agency has also addressed the speculation, stating that nothing has been officially confirmed at this time.
If the K-pop star and actor accepts the role, it will mark his debut as a villain. Despite gaining a large fan following as a singer, Rain has an impressive track record of on-screen performances.
Rain has appeared in popular K-dramas such as Come Back Mister, Welcome 2 Life, and Ghost Doctor. In the upcoming Disney+ series Red Swan, he will star alongside fellow 18 Again actor Kim Ha-neul. As for the second season of Bloodhounds, there is currently no information available about the plot or any potential backstory for Rain’s character.
The finale of the K-drama concluded positively, as the two main characters sought retribution against the loan shark and assisted those who had been harmed by him.
With the return of Woo and Sang for the upcoming season, there are potentially several scenarios that could unfold. One possibility is that the takedown of Kim had a ripple effect on a significantly larger criminal network.
The antagonist in Rain’s character may potentially be a more powerful boss seeking retribution against the two main characters for reclaiming the stolen money. Fans of K-drama will have to wait and see, as filming is set to begin later this year.
You can stream Bloodhounds on Netflix and also browse through Netflix’s offerings for 2024 and the highly anticipated K-dramas.
