Revelations  cast

What does director Yeon Sang-ho say about the movie?

The director of the movie shared his thoughts about the movie and said, “The story centers on the character psychologies of [Pastor] Sung Min-chan and [Detective] Lee Yeon-hui, who resemble one another, but make very different choices.” 

 

“I wanted to create a story about a lead character with egocentric views, someone who sees and believes only what he wants to. I was thinking of such a character through whom I could create a story within the genre, and Sung Min-chan, a pastor of a new church, was born,” he added.
