[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actor Ryu Jun-yeol returns as a blind acupuncturist.


Ryu Jun-yeol plays Gyeongsu, a blind man with exceptional acupuncture skills, in the movie "Owl" (directed by Ahn Tae-jin), which will be released on the 23rd of next month.


"Owl" is a thriller depicting a one-night struggle of a blind acupuncturist who can only see at night and witnesses the death of the crown prince, striving to uncover the truth. Gyeongsu suffers from nyctalopia, unable to see during the day but able to see faintly at night. He is noticed by the royal physician Lee Hyeong-ik and brought into the palace, where he accidentally witnesses the death of Crown Prince Sohyeon and becomes entangled in a huge incident, struggling to reveal the secrets surrounding the prince's death.



Ryu Jun-yeol said, "It is quite a big handicap for an actor not to be able to express with their eyes," adding, "By limiting vision, I discovered something beyond the five senses I had before." He continued, "This is a movie made with enthusiasm by actors and staff who know each other well," showing his confidence.
