A blind woman becomes the most important witness for a murder case in the 2011 thriller Blind. Directed by Ahn Sang Hoon (Arang), the tightly knit film won two awards at the 48th Daejong Film Awards, Best Screenplay and Best Actress for Kim Ha Neul (My Girlfriend is an Agent), who breaks from mold to play the tough blind heroine. Popular teen actor Yoo Seung Ho (4th Period Mystery) co-stars as a rebellious witness who also gets caught up in the case, while character actor Jo Hee Bong provides lighter moments as the detective. Kim Ha Neul's guide dog in Blind is played by celebrity canine Dolly, who co-starred with Yoo Seung Ho in Hearty Paws five years ago.
A young woman is reported missing after a hit and run, and the police are faced with an unlikely witness: a visually impaired woman. Soo Ah (Kim Ha Neul), who was a police academy student before losing her eyesight, believes that the culprit is a taxi driver that picked her up the night of the crime. Though the police are skeptical at first, Soo Ah's acute senses and detailed observations present a convincing case. As more victims are claimed, a second witness, teenaged delivery boy Ki Sub (Yoo Seung Ho), turns up and offers a conflicting account. With her own life in threat, Soo Ah determinedly sets out to solve the mystery.
