It's often said that when one of your faculties is disparaged, your other senses are heightened. Well, 'The Night Owl' - the latest Korean thriller - is an example of this. Actor Ryu Jun-yeol (as Kyung-soo) is blind but has excellent acupuncture skills. Noting his talent, actor Choi Moo-sung (as Lee Hyung-ik) offers him a position inside the palace (the movie is set in the Joseon Dynasty).
