Happy faces abound on the set of upcoming summer thriller Blind, as the three-month shoot comes to an end. Kim Haneul (Road No.1) stars as a blind woman who witnesses a murder, and Yoo Seung-ho (Flames of Desire) plays the other witness who gets dragged into her plot to solve the murder.
What kind of witness solves a murder themselves, you ask? The kind who used to be a cop, or rather, an almost-cop, before the accident that blinded her for life. Because she learned to live without sight, her other senses are heightened, which becomes a key factor in how she goes about solving the case. Yoo Seung-ho plays a punk who gets dragged in despite his great unwillingness to help, but soon becomes her eyes when the two face danger on the case.
It’s actually more action-oriented than you’d think, for a story revolving around a blind woman, but Kim is no stranger to the action blockbuster. The trailer below looks delightfully tense, as she uses her other heightened senses to get closer to the killer, at her own greatly increasing peril. At the end she says in voiceover: “This isn’t the first time you’ve killed, is it?” Chills. I knew it was a thriller going in, but I was still surprised and happy at the tone of the teaser, which sets up a dark game of cat and mouse. The poster below is the tagline for the film: “I am a witness to a murder.” Hm, one noona-killer sidekick to catch a real killer is great and all, but let’s hope she’s also got lady luck on her side.
Kim Haneul said, “I have such affection for [this character], so it saddens me the most that I have to send her off.” She even bought Yoo Seung-ho a present on the last day of filming — an electric bicycle, which he’s riding in the photo below. How CUTE is it that his noona bought him a bike? It’s just… PERFECT. I almost wish it had streamers and a little bell. *brrring! brrring!*
Blind is gearing up for a summer premiere.

i m definitely harboring nuna love for Yoo Seung-ho
These two are enough to make me watch this. Yoo Seung Ho needs a vacation, I’m afraid he might get sick or end up at the hospital from exhaustion.
He truly does. We’re the same age, and the ACT left me very tired. Imagine all this filming? Wow.
Wuahh Kim Haneul always looks good. And playing a blind woman? I’m looking forward to it
looks very interesting…*adds to list of already accumulating 2011 kmovies to-watch list*….now where is Yoo Seung Ho in that trailer?
Ummm…what’s with the electric bike? the existence of an electric bike is rather redundant to me…
I want one ^^
I think it’s an Asian thing. It’s pretty good for travelling long distances, all you have to do it charge it up before.
Well, my grandma used to have one when she was alive, just so that she could turn it on when it was too steep, or when she couldn’t go on anymore
It doesn’t actually do all the work, it just really helps, I think ^^
Wow, nice. Makes me want an older brother. What? older sisters do things for little brothers, and older brothers do things for little sisters. X)
what???
yeah of course it is..
its HIM anyway..dat makes difference.”,)
Yoo Seung-ho
ur sooo cOOL…
=)
BLIND, can’t wait to SEE.
WOW the plot sounds seriously AWESOME
and one more thing but this is related to the name of the actress,i know haneul is name which is a native korean word (the meaning is sky) but is very common that type of names in korea?and the korean names based in chinese characters,hanja,are chinese names pronunced in a korean way?i think some are beautiful but i think korean names of native words sound more unique and different,they use consonants like l in haneul,or m,etc but many chinese character based names use much the n and ng
gah hes so cute…why is he youngerrr…
this sounds intriguing! hopefully it will get english subbed somewhere, sometime
I read from a Chinese source that Kim Haneul bought that electric bike for Yoo Seung-ho. These two are really good friends.
At first i was going to watch this for my noona love of Seung Ho but the trailer showing an awesome female lead is my cup of tea.
Trailer doesnt work for me, but whoa this sounds awesomeeeeeee!
Ha Neul, fighting! Will definitely watch this! Hope you get to appear in a romcom drama soon!
Kim ha neul doesn’t seem to age or i’m wrong? she’s a beauty & YSH oh how cute and handsome, i can’t believe he’s this grown already…he’s my favorite child actor since Hearty Paws etc. He does resemble SJS! I hope to see this movie — what a team!
He’s busy. And, he will be busy!
very interesting now that i’ve seen the trailer! can’t wait for this!
They’re cute! I’m definitely gonna check this movie out.
wow. I just saw this a few minutes ago. It was amazing. I was bawling buckets of tears in one scene. This movie was really well done minus the actions scenes where the protagonists get beaten up really badly but manage to live. *shrug* yoo seungho looks really young here compared to warrior baek dong soo, but he did a really good job!
