The scarecrow" is ENA's new TV series. The film started with a rating of 2.9% in the first episode and increased to 7.4% in episode 6 - the highest level ever, and also topped the broadcast time slot.
This achievement makes the media and audience expect the work to create a breakthrough similar to "The Strange Lawyer Woo Young Woo" (2022). Previously, the work starring Park Eun Bin started with a rating of 0.9% before ending at 17.5% - becoming a major phenomenon of ENA station.
After 6 episodes of screening, "Bù nhìn bóng đêm" maintains its form thanks to the increasingly tense pace of the film and the continuous reversal of suspects.
In the most recent episode, Kang Tae Joo (Park Hae Soo) discovers that Lee Ki Beom was once forced to confess after detention and abuse. This makes the investigation shift to Im Seok Man - Ki Beom's friend, who is also predicted to be a new suspect.
According to the images released by the crew before episode 7 (airing on the evening of May 11), Tae Joo and Seok Man will enter a tense interrogation at the police station. While Tae Joo keeps his eyes full of suspicion, Seok Man continuously expresses dissatisfaction and denies all accusations.
At the same time, Ki Beom appears in a prison uniform when escorted to the prosecutor's office to confront Cha Si Young (Lee Hee Joon). The contrast between Si Young's tense appearance and Ki Beom's cold, hateful attitude continues to increase the audience's curiosity.
According to the production crew, from episode 7, the story will enter a new phase with many shocks and more unpredictable details. "When another suspect appears, the investigation will completely change and unexpected truths will also gradually be revealed" - the film crew shared.
Korean media commented that the attraction of "Bù nhìn bóng đêm" comes from the way it builds a dark atmosphere, constantly creating suspicion and anxiety for viewers. Park Hae Soo's acting is also considered a highlight when the male actor well portrays the image of a straightforward police officer, increasingly being drawn deeper into the case.
Besides the crime-solving element, the film also attracts attention because it is inspired by the Lee Choon Jae serial murder case - one of the most haunting cases in Korean history. This is also the reason why the work is of interest not only to audiences who love detective films but also to those who are curious about real cases that once shocked public opinion.
