Han Hyo-joo Wrote Diary The Day She Received “Blood Free” Script, “It Finally Came To Me”

The press conference for Disney+’s original series “Blood Free” was held at Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on April 8th with the attendance of director Park Chul-hwan, Joo Ji-hoon, Han Hyo-joo, Lee Hee-joon, and Lee Moo-saeng.

“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.”
