Describing their roles in detail, the lead characters of Blind share the captivating points of the upcoming mystery thriller drama.
Scheduled to broadcast beginning September 16, Blind written by Kwon Ki Kyung, follows the story of victims who were once ordinary citizens and offenders who disregard the disturbing reality in life.
The cast of the upcoming tvN Friday-Saturday drama, Ha Seok Jin, Ok Taecyeon, and Jung Eun Ji introduce their characters and describe their process of accepting the role. Moreover, they also share points to focus on and what can be anticipated in the upcoming drama.
Ha Seok Jin as Ryu Sung-hoon
Transforming into a perfectionist judge, actor Ha Seok Jin appreciates the opportunity given to play a role in the mystery thriller genre. He reveals how he was most attracted to the genre of Blind, being the reason to accept the role.
In the actor’s previous drama, he portrayed an unemployed character preparing for a job, and in the upcoming drama, his character Ryu Sung-hoon is the total opposite of it.
Described as a cold-hearted person who avoids even small meals, Ryu Sung-hoon is introduced as a judge intolerant of personal emotions in a trial.
Rather than seeing his character as a cold and big-headed person, Ha Seok Jin believes his character has burning anger inside. Going into detail in his description, the actor compares Ryu Sung-hoon to a cold snowy mountain with boiling magma inside.
To prepare for his role, Ha Seok Jin reveals how he distanced himself from people around him, including his family. By doing so, he gets closer to his character and would be able to express it naturally.
Portraying a character cold on the outside, the actor feels great responsibility and hopes he can express well the burning feeling inside of Ryu Sung-hoon.
Ok Taecyeon as Ryu Sung-joon
Taking on the role of a passionate detective, Ok Taecyeon plays Ryu Sung-joon, the younger brother of Ryu Sung-hoon in Blind.
Interested in his unique hot-blooded detective character, Ok Taecyeon reveals how besides his liking for the mystery thriller genre, the entangled relationships of the characters in the drama attracted him.
In addition to that, the psychological warfare that rouses doubt among characters was also appealing.
Reading the script, the actor was most impressed with Ryu Sung-joon’s radicalness. Despite coming from a powerful family, his character responded without hesitation when a violent incident took place.
Looking up to Ryu Sung-joon, actor Ok Taecyeon highlights the remarkable charm of his character, which is his eagerness to search for the real criminal alone without losing his sense of justice. While he also admires his character, the actor also feels sorry for Ryu Sung-joon who has undergone challenges and difficulties in pursuing the truth behind the serial murder case.
Pointing out what can be expected from his character, the actor shares that it is Sung-joon’s transformation of emotions while discovering the shocking truth one at a time.
Jung Eun Ji as Jo Eun-gi
Portraying Jo Eun-gi, the righteous social worker, Jung Eun Ji believes her character is important in relaying the drama’s message.
With much sincerity in her character’s heart, the actress admits how she first underestimated the energy Jo Eun-gi had when she first read the script.
Fully understanding her character, she now sees her character as a stronger person who has determination while having undergone various hardships.
Indirectly involved in a murder case, Jo Eun-gi is part of the jury in the trial. Captured in one of the drama’s teasers, Jung Eun Ji’s acting highlights her character’s strong personality amidst the threat of an unknown criminal.
Describing her character’s driving force, the actress tells Jo Eun-gi has a strong sense of responsibility for proving the truth even though faced threats. In particular, Jung Eun Ji states that her character believes that although the world may not change, there is hope in changing the life of an individual.
Although her character has a warm and passionate pursuit of justice, the actress tells that Jo Eun-gi maintains a balance as she is a person that conveys many meanings.
Building her character, Jung Eun Ji tells how she put much thought into her role while discussing with the director for her unbiased portrayal.
In their separate interviews, both Ha Seok Jin and Jung Eun Ji pique curiosity by emphasizing the intertwined story flow and relationships as the drama’s interesting points.
