She was afraid to make a statement twenty years ago however now that the majority of those arrested have been convicted and convicted, she is now able to speak up.

Sung-Hoon isn’t happy and explains that no child had ever felt like they were part of the Welfare Center and he was dissatisfied as a consequence.

Sung-Joon speculates on what might have transpired if the children were back with someone like Eun-Ki to assist them, while we go from black to white.

The Episode Review

A touching and emotional conclusion concludes Blind on a high note, and the show manages to be a master with its suspense and intrigue until the final. It was probably expected that Sung-Hoon would spend his prison time however, watching Crazy Dog and Yoon Jae murder each other is poetry irony as the two are perhaps the most sinister of all the characters on the show.

It’s especially interesting in the approach Blind presents this idea of being traumatized mentally to the level of being a psychopath. It is easy to comprehend the motives of Sung-Hoon and Yoon-Jae. But Eun-Ki herself said there’s absolutely no reason for killing. It is a theme that runs through the entire season, and these final episodes have accomplished a fantastic job of conveying this.

But Sung-Hoon’s parents as well as Chief Yeom do not receive any punishment, or at least not in the show anyway. It would be nice to witness them being tried and perhaps being charged with Sung-Hoon, but it’s an unimportant point.

Blind is one of the most thrilling thrillers of the year. And while certain K-dramas are prone to burnout, however, this one has retained the impression of an action-packed, thrilling mystery that has hints of sadness throughout. The final scenes simply demonstrate the fact that while there’s justice but it also leaves lots of bittersweet memories of how badly the children were treated.

The show’s name “Blind” is evidently synonymous with how we, the viewers, were locked in the shadows for the majority of the show’s running time as well as to the characters of the story, who have an abundance of adults who are blind to the harrowing experiences these children faced at the Hope Welfare Center, and how many people turned away from the horrors that took place at the center. Overall, Blind is easily one of the top shows of this year, and it tops it off with an amazing closing.
