Blind

Coincidentally, I watched "Blind" right after "Mouse", and in direct comparison, the former one lacks in plot development, pacing and character building. It's starts intriguing, the main leads are interesting, and a lot of plot points keep you engaged throughout the whole series, which isn't an easy task for a 16-episode-K-drama. Still, if you just have time for one of these two thriller dramas, I recommend "Mouse", even though the story is different, of course.

"Blind" is a thriller with a dark and, unfortunately, realistic theme. All events in the present started in an orphanage twenty years before, where children were abused and tortured. I don't know if the story is based on real life events, but things like that happened, not only in South Korea, or may still be happening in some parts of the world. The present story line is a serial murder case connected to these past events and the lead characters. Some things are easy to guess, a lot of them are not, and therefore the story keeps you hooked. Still, I feel like some misdirects are too obviously misdirects, a few details don't really make sense or aren't explained well, and some minor characters are underdeveloped. In the end, one or two major elements of the drama are not believable in my point of view.

Apart from that, "Blind" is an engaging thriller drama with lots of twists and turns. It doesn't go that deep psychologically, and it leaves you feeling kind of empty in the end, but that's the point of the whole story. If you like darker thrillers, it's definitely worth the watch, even with its flaws.

I was just checking if I could find this somewhere, with English subtitles, and after less than 60 seconds I needed more.

I just love when I have to guess, and the truth is kept hidden for a very long time. Though I guessed one of the killers fairly early, but then again, almost everyone has visited my suspect list once or thrice! And that kept this drama so exciting.

Well played, Taecyon once again showed us that he is a good actor, and he did a good job here as well. I loved the dark setting, the ambience of it all. It kept me really waiting for new episodes. This was really a thriller after my taste.

The film narrates an interesting story that is simple yet complicated. Even in the final parts, he managed to maintain his excitement. The most important thing is the choice of actors, which can be seen well in this film. It is not easy to show emotions through facial and eye movements, but in this film, those feelings could be well understood. Beside a murder case, relationship between two brothers doubled the beauty of the series. The name of the series conveys the concept of the story well to the audience. I became more curious after watching each episode and the events of the movie surprised me so that most of my guesses were wrong.

. I can say that it was one of the best crime movies I have ever seen. Music, lighting, action scenes, etc. Were well done. Even the poster of the movie was mysterious. I hope you will see this great and very beautiful movie.

Taecyong is brilliant as always. Ever since I watched this young man as a villain in Vincenzo, I started seeking out his other dramas and am chuffed by his natural acting, his wonderful English - so far the best English speaking K-actor, his demeanour and smiles. Then I found out he also sings and dances - such talent, great looks, wonderful acting skills. He has got it all.

In Blind, he is Sung Jun, the adopted son of a judge with an older brother who is also a judge and a mum who is about to become an assemblywoman - no pressure, kiddo. He becomes part of the Violent crimes Unit which investigates a recent spate of murders. When a so called perpetrator is caught, he points his finger at Sung Jun and says he is the murderer.

The suspense begins as SJ tries to clear his name - not only with the public, but with his team mates and his upright family.

Scenes are shown at the beginning of each episode of a group of young boys being physically abused by a group of military men. The abused kids try to escape several times and are beaten almost to death. How that past abuse affected the future is slowly unravelled.

I really liked the Director/writer's style of tying the stories this way. It was horrifying watching young kids being tortured and beaten, but in reality, there are children and adults both men and women who are subjugated to such abuse and even worse. This is what I like about Korean dramas and movies, such horrific human behaviour is put out there without any of the western style touchy feely sentiments. Watch this! !

Taecyong has not even unleashed his full acting abilities in this. I am still watching you, young man. I hope to see you rise even higher.

Great events that evoke doubt and mystery make you think in every detail .Those details that make you a part of the story so you don't feel blind to the truth.

We understand the importance of care and attention in childhood, which shapes and influences a child's personality. The shocks they experienced in their early years persist and leave scars on their heart. However, that does not justify future wrong actions, as they should forget the past and think about the future, but strive to repair and compensate for what they suffered in childhood.

We appreciate you entertaining us with this beautiful piece of art.
