The first stills of the "Black Nun" movie allow us to finally get a glimpse of the story atmosphere of Song Hye Kyo's thriller.
In fact, Qiao Mei has received a large number of invitations since her "Dark Glory" aired in 2022. However, Song Hye Kyo, who has always regarded dramas as her comfort zone, chose a thriller movie story this time.
This is Song Hye Kyo's first big-screen work after 9 years since "My Life " and "The Wheel" in 2015.
"The Black Nuns" has been approved at the end of 2023, and the cast of two female nuns was confirmed from the beginning, namely Song Hye Kyo and Quan Yuyun.
However, the male lead has never been finalized. It was not until the beginning of this year that Lee Jin-wook, who had an outstanding performance in "Sweet Home", was selected as the male lead and official filming began.
The announcement of this movie has always maintained a sense of mystery. When it was completed in May this year, only a few pictures of the starring actors in their regular uniforms were released, and there was no mention of the character styles in the movie.
The stills of "The Black Sisters" we saw on August 30th also maintain this style.
On the dimly lit aisle, two nuns were walking slowly one behind the other. The nun in front was pushing a wheelchair, and the figures above could not even see the men or women clearly.
To be honest, I have never seen a movie whose only stills are so "perfunctory". I guess this is a promotional method for the movie. It will give us a big surprise when it is ready to be released!
"Black Sisters" is the female version of the 2015 "Black Priests" story. This "Black Priests" can be said to be a watershed in Korean "supernatural movies".
Before this, supernatural movies with religious content like this were a niche in South Korea. It was not until "Black Priests" achieved high box office that such movies began to gain attention in the mainstream market.
Later, there were high-reputation works such as "The Cry", "Konchi Rock" and "Sabha". The "Broken Tomb" which won the first box office at the beginning of this year is also of this type. Judging from the current Korean market, as long as the quality is acceptable A religious supernatural thriller with a high chance of hitting the box office.
The story of "Black Priests" can be regarded as an Eastern Exorcist series, and the story content has the framework of European and American exorcism films.
However, this movie is able to completely integrate Western exorcism stories into Eastern society, and also adds an extra sense of freshness, which is considered very thoughtful.
In addition to the good story and visual effects, I really like Park So-dam, the female supporting role in "Black Priests". Her role as a possessed little girl can be regarded as a god. She also won the "Baeksang" award for this role. "Blue Dragon" and many other newcomer awards.
If based on the photos, this version of "The Black Sisters" is a female version of the story, then the character corresponding to this little girl should be the possessed boy Heejun played by Moon Woo-jin. I hope he will not disappoint us.
As for Song Hye Kyo, she plays the role of Sister "Yuniya" who saves young people. She is expected to be the role of Priest Kim in "Black Priests". This character's own experience is not very good. Not only is he being ostracized by other people in the church, he is also criticized by everyone. Objection and questioning.
If Song Hye Kyo had to weigh such a role before, I would still be a little worried, but since she took on the darker role of "Dark Glory", I always feel that this is Song Hye Kyo's main track.
Sister "Micaela" played by Quan Yuyun is a companion of Sister "Yuniya". Father "Paul" played by Lee Jin-wook is a psychiatric expert who believes that teenagers can be treated medically.
Judging from the character design, these people are a team, working together to fight against the "supernatural" monsters in the story. In terms of the cast, I feel relatively reassured at the moment. The first stills of the "Black Nun" movie allow us to finally get a glimpse of the story atmosphere of Song Hye Kyo's thriller.

If Zhang Zaixian, who directed "Sabha" and "Broken Tomb", is the director, it will really be possible. It’s completely relieved!
