On the night of the awarding of the South Korean acting and film world award, the 2023 Baeksang Arts Awards on April 28, 2023, actor Ryu Jun Yeol emerged as the winner in the Best Actor category with the film The Night Owl. This award clearly adds to the long list of achievements that this talented actor has achieved.
The Night Owl itself is a popular Korean film released in 2022. This film was directed by An Tae Jin, and starred Ryu Jun Yeol, Yoo Hae Jin, Choi Moo Sung, and Kim Sung Cheol. In this thriller genre film, Ryu Jun Yeol plays a blind man named Chun Kyung-soo who has expertise in acupuncture.
Because of this ability, he was recommended by a royal physician to become a medical interpreter at the palace. Chun Kyung-soo, who had the opportunity to serve the royal family, welcomed the opportunity with joy. He imagined, with the royal family's wages, his troubles in providing the best treatment for his ailing younger brother would surely end soon.
But who would have thought, his entry into the palace instead put him in the middle of a terrible conspiracy there. Not many people know that Chun Kyung-soo has a rare vision condition. He is not totally blind as others know. He can still see under certain conditions, namely when it is dark or in a place that has no light.
This condition of his eyesight made Chun Kyung-soo a key witness in the murder of the crown prince one night. The death of the crown prince suddenly caused an uproar in the palace. That same night the entire palace was gathered to find the mastermind behind the murder.
Unfortunately, because of the cunning of the perpetrator, Kyung-soo even gets a disadvantaged position. Instead of revealing the truth openly, Kyung-soo finds another truth that keeps him from taking one wrong step. Long story short Kyung-soo works with a group of palace officials, Kyung-soo is tasked with gathering evidence of his acupuncture abilities.
However, after trying to endanger his safety, the people who originally supported him in revealing the truth behind the crown prince's death, instead turned to support the culprit. So, will Kyung-soo succeed in uncovering the death of the crown prince or will he run away for the safety of him and his sister?
