BLIND: ONLY WHEN YOU TURN A "BLIND" EYE TO THE ABSOLUTELY OBVIOUS
"blind: when the young have to teach the adults what's wrong and what's right"
*PERSONAL OPINION*
Ryu Sung Joon said, "if the children of the Hope Welfare Centre had an adult like Eun Ki would they have ended up like they had?"
this got me thinking, how true this was, how children are easily affected because of their surroundings and what kind of adults they ultimately become. the drama deals with some the very common but vital issues of all times-child abuse in particular, and abuse of authority, rape and providing sexual favors in general. it highlights what it takes to become a true adult and how many fail to become one, in face of power, money, pleasure, protection and lies among many.
*PLOT & CHARACTERS*
with its many twists and turns and snaps and sides, it was a roller coaster ride. i was so sure that Ryu Sung Hoon wasn't involved at all, but boom the next thing you know he's the brain. Eun Ki was the best and all that anyone would expect a "decent" and good human would be. Sung Joon was the emotional container of the show. he was brilliant when it came to his duties and responsibilities but he as much a soft baby. i felt him whenever he realized he was being betrayed by the person he trusted the most. there weren't much plotholes to be honest, except the fact that the serial murders were taken so lightly by the authorities and everyone else. it felt like it was Sung Joon sole responsibility to solve the mystery and punish himself for nothing.
getting back at Sung Hoon, he was just a poor person: he lost his family not once but twice to the "adults", to his plan, and to the society; he lost his childhood to absue and the never ending saga to save himself and his friends; he lost his youth to planning the revenge; and he lost everything else to the outcomes of his actions. Sung Joon was right when he said that Sung Hoon was "cowardly and evil". He was evil because he knew what he did was wrong yet he wanted to leave out on his share of pain that he had yet to endure and yeild.
Eun Ki was the angel. And she is what i wish to become, " a decent adult" as Yu Na says. I wonder how someone would take the fact that they were born out of rape; but she took it very fair enough as the strong woman she is.
PS. I wish those who were responsible for the incident at the Hope Welfare Centre, rot in hell. Amen.
*THE ACTORS*
All of them were chef's kiss, starting from Tace Yeon, Eun Ji, Seok Jin to the always-frowning-with slit-eyes police officer. I watched this drama, of course because of the genres, but also because this has my all time favorites as the leads. Bless my heart, when i was hoping for a romance angle of Eun Ji with both Seok Jin and Tace Yeon (TT), all the chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and the tension they had was so on point.
Blind is a fantabulous must watch, be it be confusing, haunting, thriller or anything else (afterall it's meant to be). The music was so good that i kept on rewinding and replaying just to listen to the bgm.
PS. This is my first review, so i dont know it well it goes. Thank you.
