Blind

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.

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.

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.

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.
