About Blind
Min Soo-ah is blind but carries a sharp memory of a fatal hit and run. A young runaway named Gi-sub teams with the police, translating Soo-ah's impressions into a growing set of leads that only she can sense. The chase tightens as the suspect starts to feel the net close, prompting a deliberate game of cat and mouse. The killer begins stalking Soo-ah, knowing that she is the key to catching him. To protect Gi-sub, Soo-ah must push past fear, trusting her instincts and senses to guide the hunt while keeping the truth from those who would misuse it. The story moves through dim apartments, crowded streets, and dimly lit corridors as clues accumulate. The film keeps the audience close to Soo-ah's point of view, heightening the sense of vulnerability.
Directed by Ahn Sang-hoon, Blind adapts a concept from Choi Min-Seok into a tightly paced thriller. With Kim Ha-neul and Yoo Seung-ho leading, the film relies on restrained direction and strong performances to sustain its tense mood. Storytelling heightens tension.
Worldwide gross was 15,724,275 dollars. The result reflects a regional audience draw and solid word of mouth for a thriller anchored in character and atmosphere rather than big set pieces. Its success surprised some regional distributors.
The film sits within the wave of Korean thrillers that place protagonists with sensory limitations at the center. It invites viewers to rethink perception, as sound, touch, and memory carry the investigative thread and raise questions about bias and trust. The film's approach has shaped later thrillers.
Critics praised the film's lean pace and the performances, especially the chemistry between Soo-ah and Gi-sub. Themes of trust, risk, and the limits of sight drive the moral choices and keep tension high, inviting audiences to consider how vulnerability can sharpen resolve.
