Unholy Blood (original) (raw)

I usually google "best completed webtoons" when I finish reading a story / all of the manga or webtoons I read haven't updated. So yesterday when I was doing this, I found "Unholy Blood" and the writer of this recommendation thought it was a good story. Unholy Blood being a vampire webtoon, I can't lie I was a bit sceptic. But to my surprise I got more invested than I would like to admit. I binged the whole thing during one night. So here comes my review.

Unholy Blood is an action packed (with a side of romance) vampire story with a female badass main... character. In Unholy Blood we follow Hayan who is a college student and Euntae who is a police officer. They have a similar goal, to kill / capture all vampires in the world and make it the world it once was. With no curfews, no fear and no sirens that were warning people of the vampires.

The plot is similar to other action ones, we have a main character that wants revenge and will do anything in their will to get it. It was nothing extraordinary new but some moments / happenings were not foreseeable and came as a chock when reading this webtoon. That kept the plot interesting and really hooked me.

The characters were well designed and balanced. The main and most important supporting characters all have a backstory that will be shared with the reader. The backstories give the characters more depth and it is easier to understand their current actions. We also see some good progress in the female main character, she becomes really tough and cool. Another thing I really like about her is that she (unlike a lot of main characters) doesn't talk much during fights and actually cuts off other characters if they ramble too much during an action scene. The main characters are really easy to like.

Finally the art. I have to say that this is probably one of the best, if not the best drawn webtoon I've read. The art is vibrant and the action scenes are so well drawn and you can really see the characters "moving" when fighting. Each character stands out in their own way and have a fitting design to their "role" in the webtoon. I must say, I REALLY enjoyed the art.

Plot: 6/10
Characters: 8/10
Art: 10/10
Overall: 8/10

I highly recommend to read this webtoon. I had a fun time reading it.
