Another Korean film that captured my interest during my two-month blogging hiatus was the 2010 film 초능력자 or Haunters/Psychic, an action-drama thriller which tells the story of a man who can control people’s minds and actions with his eyes and his unexpected meeting with a man whose mind he cannot penetrate however hard he tried.
Haunters stars two of the hottest, most talented Korean actors I’ve ever come across, and what a heavenly pair they make. Kang Dongwon plays Cho In, a vengeful young man blessed (or cursed) with the ability to control people’s minds just by looking at them, taking advantage of this skill for his personal gain. Meanwhile, there’s kind-hearted Im Kyunam living a very simple life, played by Go Soo. When Cho In crosses paths with Kyunam, the unexpected happens, as the former discovers that there exists someone who he can never control.
