Released on March 21, the mystery horror film "Revelations" revolves around pastors Sung Min Chan (Ryu Jun Yeol) and police officer Lee Yeon Hui (Shin Hyun Bin) as they pursue a missing case.
In this journey, each person is motivated by their own beliefs, forcing themselves to face the demons within them.
"Revelations" is the latest work by director Yeon Sang Ho - a familiar name to fans on the Netflix platform with popular projects such as "Hellbound" (Judgement from Hell), "Parasyte: The Grey".
According to Korean media, the film "Khai thi" achieved good results as soon as it was released. As of now (in its second week of release), the film still holds the No. 1 spot on Netflix's non-English film chart with 6.9 million views.
This achievement far surpassed "Deva" - an Indian Chinese action thriller that attracted 2.8 million views in the week.
The success of the work comes from the attractive direction, mysterious plot and impressive acting of the cast.
Besides Ryu Jun Yeol, Shin Hyun Bin is a surprising name. Not only changing her appearance with short hair, adding fringes, dark circles, and cracked lips, the female star's acting also showed progress.
Sharing about the work, Shin Hyun Bin said that thanks to her new look, she was able to focus better on the role - a character who "lives because she cannot die". Regarding the topic of "belief", she said that she was attracted to this right from the moment she read the script.
"When I read, I think about people tending to only see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe. I thought, "Maybe I have that side too, so I've been a little skeptical about how to protect myself from it? ".
But that doesn't mean I want to deny all my beliefs. For example, when working in a project, I want to give my all.
I try to believe that I am surrounded by people who can help me develop more. This is also my goal in life - to choose what I feel is right for me."
Speaking more about co-star Ryu Jun Yeol, the actress praised her senior for "always trying until the last minute". Although he can be strict with himself, Ryu Jun Yeol always brings positivity to others, especially his colleagues.
Also according to Netflix statistics, along with "Khai thi", 2 other Korean dramas that made it to the non-English film rankings of this platform were "Nguoi Dan Wean", ranked 2nd with 6.7 million views and "Khi Doi Da You Nguoi Quang" ranked 3rd with 6 million views.
