Synopsis
The Ugly (2025) is a South Korean mystery thriller from Yeon Sang-ho you can watch online on iFILM. As a documentary crew films his blind father — a renowned seal engraver — at work, Im Dong-hwan takes a phone call: the remains of his mother, missing for forty years, have finally turned up.
That call cracks open a past the family had long agreed to leave buried. The harder Dong-hwan pulls at the thread, the less the stories line up — what his father says on camera and what actually happened are two different things. Blindness here isn't only a diagnosis. Everyone under this roof spent years choosing not to see.
Yeon Sang-ho, the director of Train to Busan and Hellbound, trades zombies and monsters for a slow, hushed noir about guilt and family memory. Park Jeong-min and Kwon Hae-hyo lead. It's for viewers who like it when the answer turns out worse than the secret. Stream The Ugly (2025) online on iFILM.
