The newly released film Hidden Face (directed by Kim Dae Woo), which premiered on November 20, is stirring excitement with its audacious narrative and gripping performances. From its early teasers, the movie drew attention for its unconventional approach, and now, as the story unfolds, public reactions are pouring in.
Hidden Face is a confined-space thriller revolving around Sung Jin (played by Song Seung Heon), who is searching for his missing fiancée, Soo Yeon (Jo Yeo Jung). Things take an unexpected turn when Soo Yeon’s junior colleague Mi Joo (Park Ji Hyun) appears, and Sung Jin discovers Soo Yeon trapped in a mysterious, intimate space. The film explores shocking truths about the characters as the narrative unravels.
The movie gained attention before its release due to the daring performances of Park Ji Hyun and Song Seung Heon, including provocative scenes and nudity. Song revealed he underwent a rigorous three-week diet of water and nuts to prepare for his role, while Park shared her thoughts on taking on such bold acting for the first time in her career.
Audiences have responded enthusiastically, praising the hidden layers of the story and the exceptional acting. Many are particularly impressed by Park Ji Hyun’s performance, with comments like, “Her acting is incredible,” “The film left me speechless,” and “Now I understand why Park was drawn to this role.” The shocking twists and the emotional depth of the film have left viewers in awe.
In an interview, Park Ji Hyun explained her approach to the role, saying, “For Mi Joo’s character, the nudity felt like part of her costume and wasn’t the focal point for me. It was about portraying the character’s intention in that scene, and I believed this was the right approach for the story.” She emphasized her dedication to the role, regardless of her growing fame from her hit drama Reborn Rich.
Park’s bold choice to take on a challenging role despite her rising popularity has garnered admiration. She remarked, “I was happy to take on the project, especially knowing more people would see it. I would have done it regardless of my level of fame because the story and character were irresistible to me.”
Audiences are now reflecting on the film’s layers and Park’s insights, saying, “Her interviews make perfect sense after watching Hidden Face.”
With its unique premise and fearless storytelling, Hidden Face has become a must-watch for fans of intense, character-driven thrillers.
