Netflix has just dropped new press stills for director Yeon Sang-ho’s highly anticipated film Revelations, and fans can’t stop talking about Shin Hyun Been’s shocking transformation!

Revelations tells the chilling story of a pastor who believes punishing the suspect in a missing person case is a divine mission and a detective haunted by the ghost of her younger sibling.

As they follow their own beliefs, their fates become dangerously intertwined.

The newly released stills capture the intense moments surrounding the disappearance of a child from a church congregation. Pastor Sung Min-chan (played by Ryu Jun Yeol), detective Lee Yeon-hee (played by Shin Hyun Been), and ex-convict Kwon Yang-rae (played by Shin Min Jae) are all deeply involved in the case.

Ryu Jun Yeol takes on the role of Sung Min-chan, a pastor who, after receiving a supposed divine revelation, becomes obsessed with tracking down ex-convict Kwon Yang-rae. His unsettling expressions hint at a complex and emotional inner struggle.

Meanwhile, Shin Hyun Been completely transforms into Lee Yeon-hee, a detective tormented by guilt and supernatural visions of her late sibling. As she investigates the missing child case, she uncovers suspicious links between Sung Min-chan and Kwon Yang-rae, throwing herself into a psychological battle filled with twists and turns.

To fully embody her exhausted and emotionally scarred character, Shin Hyun Been underwent a dramatic makeover—cutting her hair short and ditching heavy makeup for a raw, natural look. Fans were shocked by her strikingly different appearance, proving her dedication to the role.

One particularly eerie still shows Kwon Yang-rae being followed by Sung Min-chan on a dark, rainy night, his figure cloaked in mystery. Shin Min-jae’s chilling performance as Kwon Yang-rae only adds to the suspense—leaving audiences questioning whether he is truly the suspect or just another pawn in a twisted game.

Director Yeon Sang-ho shared, “The most important thing while directing Revelations was making it feel as real as possible.” The intense, raw visuals in the press stills raise excitement for the film’s release. With a gripping story, psychological tension, and powerhouse performances, Revelations promises to be an unforgettable thriller.

Written by Hellbound creator Choi Gyu-seok and produced by legendary filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, Revelations is set to premiere on March 21.

Fans can’t wait to see how this dark and suspenseful story unfolds.

IU couldn’t help but praise her When Life Gives You Tangerines co-star Kim Seon Ho for his amazing and detailed acting — even revealing that one of his funniest and most touching moments wasn’t even in the script!

On April 3, Netflix Korea dropped a special behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, titled “We Shared All the TMIs and Behind-the-Scenes.”

The video featured director Kim Won Seok, along with cast members IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon, as they talked about the drama’s filming stories and shared fun trivia.

IU, who played Geum Myeong, opened up about her character’s first love Yeong Beom (played by Lee Jun Young), saying,
“They were each other’s first love and stayed together for seven years. There was no big fight between them. They broke up for a bad reason, but she still wishes he’s doing okay out there.”

She also talked about the drama’s clever twist, saying,
“There’s this part where Yeong Beom and Gwan Sik say similar lines, so the parents start thinking, ‘Did she bring home the same guy again?’ But in the end, it shows how different they are, which made the story even better.”

IU revealed she cried a lot during the breakup scene and said,
“Even reading the script made me cry. Jun Young and I were crying so much while filming.”
Director Kim added, “This might be the first K-drama where the ex-boyfriend doesn’t die, but the main character still gets to love both her first and second loves.”

Meanwhile, Park Hae Joon had nothing but compliments for Kim Seon Ho, who played Chung Seop.
He said, “Sun Ho doesn’t just go through the lines. He acts with his instincts. He reminded me of myself when I was younger — a bit loose and free, and I liked that about him.”

IU also brought up one memorable scene where Chung Seop stumbles while trying to grab a chair. She laughed and asked,
“That part where he walks and suddenly stumbles — wasn’t that not in the script?”
Director Kim Won Seok confirmed it was all Kim Seon Ho’s idea, saying, “It wasn’t scripted at all.”

That wasn’t the only moment he improvised. The director also revealed,
“There’s a line where he says, ‘Shall I peel the shrimp for you?’ and he briefly switches back to his real voice. That was also his own idea. His acting is full of small details like that.”

Fans were touched by IU’s sincere praise and how much freedom Kim Sun Ho used to build his character. With so many meaningful little moments, it’s no wonder When Life Gives You Tangerines is gaining love for its emotional depth and realistic storytelling.

Netizens reacted by saying:

• “Kim Seon Ho really gives life to every scene.”
• “IU noticing these small things proves how much she cares too.”
• “Kim Seon Ho’s shrimp line was one of my favorite parts!”
• “This cast is full of talent and heart.”

It turns out, sometimes the best acting moments… aren’t even written down.
