In the heart-pounding fifth episode of Blood Free, CEO Yoon Ja-Yoo (Han Hyo-Joo) and her loyal bodyguard Woo Chae-Woon (Ju Ji-Hoon) faced a perilous mob attack that left Chae-Woon gravely injured. Desperate to save his life, Ja-Yoo and her team retreated to the BF Group basement, where they embarked on an experimental treatment using cell culture technology.
As Chae-Woon’s condition stabilized, he gradually regained consciousness and stumbled upon a chilling discovery: the preservation of multiple human organs in the laboratory. Confronted by Chae-Woon’s suspicions, Ja-Yoo initially denied any wrongdoing, but the truth soon emerged, casting a shadow over the team’s intentions.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Seon Woo-Jae delved deeper into the investigation surrounding the attack, uncovering a web of corruption and conspiracy that reached the highest echelons of power. Former President Lee Mun-Gyu, driven by concern for Chae-Woon’s well-being, relentlessly pursued answers about his condition.
As Chae-Woon pieced together the puzzle of his treatment, he realized the gravity of the situation. The once-trusted BF Group team had, without his consent, transfused cultured blood and muscle fibers into his body, potentially exposing him to unforeseen side effects. The revelation ignited a sense of betrayal and anger within Chae-Woon, who accused the team of prioritizing financial gain over ethical considerations.
In a moment of frustration, Chae-Woon confronted Ja-Yoo, demanding an explanation for the invasive experiments conducted on him. Ja-Yoo, driven by her unwavering belief in the potential of cell culture technology, defended her actions, claiming they were necessary for his survival. However, Chae-Woon remained unconvinced, his trust in the team shattered.
As the episode reached its end, Ja-Yoo retreated to a secret room within the lab, hinting at further revelations and complexities yet to unfold. The cliffhanger ending left viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this gripping K-drama.
