Yup I gave it a 10

Why? Because it's probably one of the best Korean mystery thriller /police investigation dramas I've seen. And I've seen a lot! It's my favorite genre. I got into Korean entertainment because of movies like Memories of Murder and Old Boy. Am I saying Blind is as good as these 2 movies? Heck no, but I am saying it's better than most of the mystery dramas out there. Is it easy to guess the who dunnit? Yes, for me it was, but I did second guess myself a lot which is unusual for me. It was also fun getting to the conclusions. Blind has murder (somewhat grisly), intrigue, and enough twist and turns to keep the watcher engrossed. The writer Kwon Ki Kyung only has one other drama under his belt, a romance so I'll pass, but I hope to see more from him. Shin Yong Hwi did a great job directing. He has titles like Tunnel and Bad Guys under his belt. He maybe be the only director I have as a favorite. There are some continuity issues, but the were unimportant. I can't even remember what they were to tell the truth. The camera and editing are also quite good. Two main points I love about the production: (1) they don't push an unnecessary romance; and (2) the flashbacks are not over done. Both are big pluses in my book! Just like the crew, the cast did a great job from the fantastic child actors to our leads. Ok Teac Yeon and Ha Seok Jin were great as the quick tempered (and quick to throw a punch) police officer and his older brother, the emotionless Judge. Jung Eun Ji rounds out the leads and leant a need dynamic to the story. The supporting cast were equally as good, if not better, espcially Park Ji Bin. This was my 2nd time seeing him in a drama and my 2nd time not able to take my eyes off him. Yeah he's a cutey dimple face, but that's not why. His acting is somewhat mesmerizing to me. The first time I saw him was earlier this year in The Killer's Shopping List. It's hard to take a scene from intrepid scene stealer, Lee Kwang Soo, but Park did it. I hope to see his work more, too.The music was good. It supported the scenes and added to the suspense as it should. I may uncharacteristically watch this again just to see if there were any clues I missed.Overall Blind was a fun ride. It doesn't waste time pulling you in. I highly recommend this to any lover of mystery, investigation, and/or revenge dramas.
