Blind: Episodes 1-2

Blind cuts direct to the chase, as well as a grisly chase it is. A grouping of children go through pitch-dark woods, trying to escape a creepy whistling homo known equally “Mad Dog.” One past one, they’re captured inwards diverse horrific ways. Like stepping inward a behave trap, or beingness deliberately function over twice past the same machine. Two of them terminate up hiding beneath floorboards direct nether where Mad Dog is looming over one of their fallen friends.

Later, we learn that Mad Dog is a security guard at Hope Welfare Center. One kid who did escape tells a law officeholder that all the kids at that place are treated horribly. That they’re willing to hazard such vehement consequences for attempting to work away speaks to but how horrible said treatment must live.

Unfortunately, fifty-fifty for that i escapee, there isn’t much actual promise to be found, equally the officer lulls him into a false sense of security and drives him correct back to the eye.

That all happened inward the past, merely don’t worry — the present has its own share of gruesome crimes besides. For starters, the murder of Baek Ji-eun on her twentieth birthday. While her parents waited at domicile planning a surprise party, Ji-eun was waylaid in a night alley. Some days subsequently, her torso was discovered, wrapped inwards a garbage purse and sitting direct upwardly inwards a dump heap, amongst a Joker-mode grin carved into her confront.

At the crime scene, we meet Detective RYU SUNG-JOON (Ok Taecyeon). He takes a really hands-on approach to investigating, to the betoken that he wraps himself inwards a garbage pocketbook together with rolls downward the loma to run across if it’sec possible to state upright like Ji-eun’second corpse supposedly did. He concludes that it isn’t, significant the killer went to the problem of carrying her trunk all the manner downward here too placing it inwards that position. Curious.

But Sung-joon isn’t all quirky charm. He has an intense edge that borders on dangerous, similar when the mortician informs him the Joker scars were made alongside a very pocket-size, sharp knife — similar, order, a scalpel — too he backs her up against the wall alongside 1 such scalpel, holding it right up side by side to her face up as he contemplates the exact slicing motions the killer must accept used.

Sung-joon’sec beginning large clue comes from one of Ji-eun’sec friends. They’d been at a social club together on her birthday, where more or less guy had harassed them too threatened Ji-eun alongside a knife when she wouldn’t have a drugged potable.

When Sung-joon drops by the social club, he finds that same guy threatening another girl inward the same fashion. He doesn’t back downward when Sung-joon flashes his badge, and then Sung-joon beats him to a pulp. This evidently isn’t unusual, because the other detectives already take a process in home for cleaning upwards Sung-joon’s messes.

The soul about exasperated past Sung-joon’s latest loss of temper is his older brother, RYU SUNG-HOON (Ha Suk-jin). Sung-hoon is a notoriously principled gauge who won’t even consume dejeuner amongst others to avoid existence roped into owing favors. He wants to see the best in Sung-joon — together with Sung-joon for his part seems desperate for his brother’s approving too affection — simply Sung-joon clearly hasn’t outgrown the violent streak he’s displayed since their school days.

Despite this little hiccup, Sung-joon’s search for Ji-eun’sec killer continues. Given the type of blade used together with slicing expertise, Sung-joon figures the killer may live experienced inwards something similar food training. (Though an ominous photographic camera pan shows us Sung-hoon is a skilful woodcarver, zooming in on his pocket-sized, scalpel-like tool…)

Sung-joon narrows down his suspects to a item worker at Hope Foods, a facility owned past Ji-eun’sec begetter, BAEK MOON-KANG (Kim Beop-rae). And no, it’s no coincidence the place is called Hope Foods, because moon-kang is none other than Mad Dog of the one-time Hope Welfare Center. What’s more than, nosotros shortly acquire that Sung-joon himself was one of those kids who hid nether the floorboards that night night.

The suspect, JUNG MAN-CHUN (Jung Jin-woo), ambushes Sung-joon, merely he’second speedily apprehended too arrested on murder charges. Perhaps out of desperation, he requests a trial past jury. The ix people selected come up from diverse walks of life, including a mode influencer, a sushi chef, a taxi driver, in addition to social worker JO EUN-KI (Jung Eun-ji).

Man-chun admits to threatening Ji-eun in the alley, merely claims she got away in addition to jumped into somebody else’second motorcar. He names Sung-joon equally the driver and the actual killer.

So Sung-joon is summoned every bit a witness. But he’s armed with downward-to-world charm as well as a mount of damning testify. The nearly damning of all being a woman who has to live with Joker scars of her own, given to her past Man-chun. It’s and then convincing, no 1 sees the ask to even ask if Ji-eun really did go into Sung-joon’s car that night.

Pretty much everyone’sec mind is already made up, just inwards the jury room Eun-ki takes her time reviewing the case details. When the others express impatience, she calls them out for pointing to Man-chun’sec condition as an undocumented immigrant for further “proof” that he must live the killer.

Still, Man-chun is ultimately constitute guilty. As Sung-hoon sentences him to life inward prison, he flies into a tearing rage. Sung-hoon never even pauses in pronouncing his sentence, even every bit Man-chun comes inside inches of killing him inwards forepart of the entire courtroom.

After Man-chun is subdued together with the trial ends, the jury caput off to dinner together, having bonded over the experience. Sung-joon in addition to Sung-hoon besides convene privately, simply their conversation is much more tense. Sung-hoon asks outright if Sung-joon killed Ji-eun, together with while Sung-joon sputters, hoping it’second a joke, Sung-hoon pointedly tells him to think carefully virtually why he might suspect him.

That dark, a motorbike swerves inward front end of Man-chun’sec prison carry, causing it to wreck in addition to allowing him to escape. Worse, in the courtroom chaos, he’d stolen office of the listing of jury names together with addresses.

Eun-ki, #viii on the listing, has long been dealing amongst a broken front end door, so she doesn’t suspect a thing until she’s already inside her apartment, where Man-chun is waiting. He holds her hostage through the next morning time, rebuffing law efforts to negotiate.

Sung-joon sneaks onto a neighboring rooftop. He can’t become a proficient shot at Man-chun, but when Eun-ki manages to lock herself inwards the bathroom, Sung-joon jumps across in addition to breaks through her forepart door. Inside, he takes Man-chun downwardly, earning a knife inwards the dorsum for his problem.

At the infirmary, sinister-looking men sneak into Man-chun’s room. They’re led by Moon-kang, who tortures Man-chun into telling him who orchestrated all this: Jung Yoon-jae, one of the Hope Welfare kids.

After watching the drama’sec premiere episodes, I suspect that Eun-ki’s indicate near prejudice is going to be a driving topic of this exhibit, and non alone inward relation to identifying the killer. Relying on presuppositions well-nigh others can make us, well, Blind to reality, often to devastating effects.

Is Sung-joon secretly a killer mastermind who uses his charm to fool everyone into believing he’sec simply passionate as well as a trivial rough around the edges? Or are we — along with Sung-hoon — being tricked past faux “testify” that uses Sung-joon’sec flaws to obscure the true culprit? Is anyone inwards this present really who they look to be?
