Bloodhounds Season 2: A Fictionalization Of The Netflix Documentary "Cyber Hell"?
Bloodhound Season 1 was an interesting lesson on loans. I didn't expect a sequel three years later and decided to watch it. Season 1 was practically where the main cast Woo Doo-Hwan (as Kim Gun-Woo) and Lee Sang-Yi (as Hong Woo-Jin). The dirty old man Kim Myeong-Gil (played by Park Sung-Woong) isn't mentioned (thankfully). Instead, we make a new room for the new lead villain Im Baek-Jung (played by Rain). Seeing Rain play as a villain was indeed fresh. I had mixed issues with Vanness Wu as the bad guy in Princess Weiyoung. However, part of me still gives Vanness praise for filling what need to be filled. Rain just feels stronger though -- showing a 44 year old guy can still beat up the younger cast!
This is where someone's business senses could get tingling. Season 1 tells you, "Don't live beyond your means or you could face off against loan sharks. Season 2's villain Baek-Jung runs a gambling ring that fits today's society. The gambling ring is ran on the Dark Web -- a very dangerous area of the Internet that ends to become a point of ZERO RETURN. Baek-Jung also uses Bitcoin as his medium.
Anybody watching the show might want to learn about the Greater Fool Theory with Bitcoin. This might be the knowledge you need to watch through the seven episodes, all before the ending seems to suggest that there might be a Season 3 (which I hope happens, because I want to see a drug war and corruption blow up really hard):
While Bitcoin has failed in its stated objectives, it has become a speculative investment. This is puzzling. It has no intrinsic value and is not backed by anything. Bitcoin devotees will tell you that, like gold, its value comes from its scarcity—Bitcoin’s computer algorithm mandates a fixed cap of 21 million digital coins (nearly 19 million have been created so far). But scarcity by itself can hardly be a source of value. Bitcoin investors seem to be relying on the greater fool theory—all you need to profit from an investment is to find someone willing to buy the asset at an even higher price.
It doesn't have the "focus" of Season 1. However, this was the lesser sequel that's still worth the watch!
