Director: "Good morning everyone! Welcome to our first readthrough of 'Blood Free'! We're so excited to have you here. I mean the talent we've recruited to be part of this cast is simply amazing!!! Shall we proceed?"

Han Hyo Joo: "Before we start, can I ask a bit about how you'd like me to portray my character, Yoon Ja Yoo?"

D: "Robot."

HHJ: "I'm sorry, robot?"

D: "Yes, robot."

HHJ: "Can I add some vulnerability at any point? A bit of emotion? A smile?"

D: "Nope."

HHJ: "A wink?"

D: "No."

HHJ: "Anything? Anything at all?"

D: "Have I not been clear here? Hello? Robot, robot, robot."

HHJ: "You know, I've won awards and stuff. I have talent. I can keep it lowkey and just let out the human stuff at the right time and at like barely discernible levels. I'm really really that good. You're paying me a lot too so I just think maybe you might want me to, y'know, show off a little bit of the goods."

D: "God no. Robot. 100% robot."

Ju Ji Hoon: "Mr. Director, uh, I've seen her work. Han Hyo Joo is amazing! I think maybe you should let her maybe explore the human side of her character a bit."

D: "Thanks for the input, but she's a robot and let's just get your character out of the way too. Robot. Occasionally a fighting robot but a robot. No smiles. No emotion. Oh but the fighting robot has a cat and the cat is NOT a robot so we're cool, right?"

HHJ: "Sir, you're in charge so we'll do what you say but I'm just curious, wouldn't the drama be more interesting if the two main characters who are going to be on screen together for so much of the show be more entertaining if they, I'm just spitballing here, weren't robots?"

D: "Ahhhhh! I think we've found where we're not on the same page here! So just FYI, the further along we go, the less you're going to be on screen together and when things get really exciting at the very end, your character isn't really a part of all that stuff. There's gonna be other people whose characters are just annoying windbags that take over at that point. It's gonna be awesome!"

JJH: "Sorry, we're the main characters, right? Shouldn't we be in the middle of things when the important stuff happens?"

D: "Crazy talk! You're robots! You've been robots through the whole show! Episode one, robot. Episode two, robot. Etc. Etc. and then we'll just go through almost entire episodes without you two appearing hardly at all. But it's fine because nobody cares about your boring robot characters!"

Even a robot wouldn't recommend this show.
