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.

I totally enjoyed this mystery thriller. I have read many people calling this drama underrated and I see why. I was not able to guess who the killer was and even when it became evident the ending left me shocked. It was an emotional rollercoaster and the ending though heart breaking left me thinking its the only way possible for everyone involved.
Enjoyed watching the main leads - the 2 brothers and the female leads. I am a fan of Taecyeon's work, especially in Vincenzo and seeing him play another darker role in a darker drama was great.
The story kept me on the edge the whole 16 episodes. It's not the usual k-drama...its different, dark and gritty...its also very different to how k thrillers have been made before...so I totally understand why some ppl are quick to call it mediocre. Yeah I saw the comments here haha.
But I found it entertaining and the cast acting superb. Recommend this drama if you want a no nonsense crime thriller that delivers on acting.

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.

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.

Wow dude this kdrama really ate !!!! You will never guess whi is the serial killer . The story is 10 , acting also 10 , and all the cast are so handsome . It's really deserved 10/10. When I watched it, I was trying to figure out who the killer was every minute, but it's just impossible, and the series is full of unexpected events and plot twists. I was completely shocked until the last episode and the last minute, and it has a really wonderful ending for anyone who wants to see it. Never hesitate. And in a way, everyone was suffering and they all had opinions about what they were doing and the reasons for it, except for Mr. Beck and the hero's parents. They are damned scoundrels. In the end, the biggest victim is the children.

Just focusing on the story, this is chilling, well-made, and all too real. It's a sad commentary on humanity that this type of thing happens with depressing regularity. However, as one of the show's themes underscores: abused children may want revenge, but they seldom turn to life-taking.
The lack of continuity was disappointing. Characters disappear and reappear, as needed. We don't know what happened to some of them and for some, we don't know their backstories. Clearly, the focus was meant to be on the main plot. Rather chilling to think secondary characters were used only to drive it - rather like the main character confessed to doing, using and discarding people to drive his revenge plot.
Production values were a bit off. Scars appear on one side of the face in one scene and the other side, the next. The first murder happens in January - a notoriously cold time in Korea, yet there's no snow on the ground and everyone is wearing light jackets or open coats. The story gives no sense of pacing; we don't know how much time passes between scenes. However, scars disappearing from one frame to the next suggests quite a while passed.
This doesn't deliver a message, like Mouse did. It's not thought-provoking, as that show was. Still, if you don't look too deep at it, it's a decent watch.

Really excellent mystery/crime drama. I love that I couldn't figure out who the 'culprit' was until the writers were ready for the audience to be sure. That doesn't happen often. The acting is superb, especially the lead actor. I can't figure out why Ok Tacyeon isn't a bigger name in K-dramas. Even in something light like "Bring It On, Ghost", he was magnetic. It's no different here. I felt so sorry for him as the show went on--it was just blow after blow for him. The bad guys are seriously bad in this one, and there aren't many good guys. I thoroughly enjoyed this show, from beginning to end.
Korean Drama " Blind " is a crime thriller, involving a past and a present case.
The drama had enjoyable performances, first and foremost, with all the actors and actresses, but, especially, the main ones, fleshing out their characters brilliantly and showcasing the right amount of emotion.
The start of the drama was quite intense as well, with the mystery of that past case being the main source of all the horific moments of the story.
However, the drama soon grew bleak. It was obvious from the start who was behind everything and any attempt to shade shadow on the other characters was not well managed. In addition, the drama got boring and the twists tiring.
So, overall, five out of ten.

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.

...from Korea.
9 stars is the average review? Talk about review bombing, but from the show's cast and crew. The cartoon villain who whistles menacingly doesn't help matters, either. Everything is completely on the nose, with zero subtext.
Picks up a little bit, but the cartoonishly oddball cop chasing the bad guy doesn't impress. And are all Korean cops about 25?
