Ha Suk-jin suspects Taecyeon in new teasers for tvN’s Blind

by solstices

tvN’s upcoming crime mystery Blind has released more promotional material, and it looks like the drama is shaping up to be an intense thriller that will have you holding your breath.

Ok Taecyeon (Secret Royal Inspector and Joy) stars as the tenacious detective Ryu Sung-joon, who throws himself into cases with reckless abandon. In contrast, Ha Suk-jin (A DeadbEAT’s Meal) plays his older brother Ryu Sung-hoon, who is a level-headed and principled judge.

Jung Eun-ji (Work Later, Drink Now) rounds out our main trio in the role of Jo Eun-ki. Her difficult childhood led her to become a social worker, so that she can help kids who are struggling just like she used to.

The mystery begins when the corpse of a high school student is discovered. A suspect is apprehended and brought to court, where he requests for a trial by jury. However, after the case concludes, the jurors get murdered one by one — who is killing them, and why?

The drama’s character teaser gives us our first glimpse of the presumed true killer, whose face has been disfigured into a perpetual smile. It looks like the killer exacts the same mutilation they suffered upon their victims, forming their grotesque signature. A corpse lies on an autopsy table with a smile carved into her face and bruises around her ankles.

Sung-hoon vows to catch the culprit who turned his trial into a mess, even if that person could be his younger brother. In response, Sung-joon protests that it’s all a misunderstanding, and we see flashes of multiple tussles along with a gunshot. Juror Eun-ki testifies that the defendant sounded genuine when he pleaded innocence, and she’s inclined to believe him.

However, our protagonists’ pursuit of the elusive murderer will lead them into dangerous situations — we see a bloody Sung-joon, and a bound Eun-ki. Still, that won’t stop our protagonists from striving to uncover the truth.

Next, in the drama’s main teaser, Sung-joon warns that the “crazy dogs” are coming. Two hounds run through the woods, though it’s not clear who they’re chasing. A cynical Sung-hoon declares that he doesn’t trust anybody, not even his younger brother. His suspicions aren’t entirely unfounded; we see Sung-joon holding a scalpel up to the forensic examiner’s face, as if to figure out how the killer did it.

In the killer’s lair, photos of the nine jurors are accompanied by creepy mannequins below. Sung-joon rushes into an apartment to save someone dangling from the rafters, with Eun-ki following close behind — except it turns out to be a mannequin. Eun-ki promises to help in whatever way she can, and Sung-joon swears that he’ll punish the perpetrator of these heinous crimes.

Directed by Shin Yong-hwi (Voice 4, Tunnel) and written by Kwon Ki-gyung (Andante), Blind airs on Friday and Saturday nights starting September 16.
