The short 58-second teaser of ‘Blood Free’ starts with a scientist saying that humans need to break free from the shackles of the food chain in order to be perfect. Han Hyo-joo plays the CEO of BF, a company that produces lab-grown meat because natural meat is no longer safe for humans to consume. She hires a retired naval officer, played by Ju Ji-hoon, as her bodyguard. The company is very successful and dominates the market, but Hyo-joo’s character is greedy and wants to establish a new food chain where humans are the ultimate dominant species.

However, it’s not as easy as it sounds. The teaser then goes on to show how a “new generation of lab-grown meat” leads to a dangerous game involving companies and politicians as suspicions from both people inside and outside the company raise question about its practices. But with these battles, the teaser also includes scenes of explosions, gunfights, and other action-packed moments, so it’s tough to tell where the storyline would eventually lead to.
