Why Season 3 Is Absolutely Needed

The Season 2 finale didn’t close the door — it swung it wide open. Im Baek Jeong’s death was faked, and instead of prison, he has been enlisted as a Bloodhound for a larger and more dangerous criminal organisation, one planning to bring one ton of meth into South Korea — all orchestrated by the mysterious Paichit Chaichana.

Kim Geon U and Hong U Jin have yet to learn of Im Baek Jeong’s supposed fate, and while they acknowledge winning the fight, they know the war against the corrupt system will continue — with a collision course with their old nemesis now inevitable. whats-on-netflix

That’s not a season finale. That’s a setup.

What Has Woo Do Hwan Said?

Lead star Woo Do Hwan has made his feelings crystal clear. In a Korean Times interview, he expressed that ending the story at Season 2 would feel too soon and compared his hopes for the franchise’s longevity to an endless saga — signalling he’s fully on board for more.

Expected Cast for Bloodhounds Season 3

We’d expect Woo Do Hwan, Lee Sang Yi, Rain, Park Seo Joon, Choi Si Won, Park Hoon, Yun Yu Sun, Choi Young Joon, and Ryu Kyung Soo to all return for a potential third season. whats-on-netflix
