## Synopsis

The Ugly is a 2025 South Korean mystery thriller film written and directed by Yeon Sang-ho. Based on director Yeon's 2018 graphic novel of the same name, the film stars Park Jeong-min in dual roles as Im Young-gyu, a blind, extraordinarily skilled artisan, and his son, Im Dong-hwan. When a journalist portrayed by Shin Hyun-been makes a documentary on Young-gyu, she and Dong-hwan investigate Dong-hwan's long-dead mother, of whom he never knew anything. The cast also includes Kwon Hae-hyo as present-day Young-gyu, alongside Im Seong-jae and Han Ji-hyun.
