Revelations is a 2025 South Korean crime thriller directed by Yeon Sang-ho, running 122 minutes. The film weaves faith and law enforcement into a tense missing-person investigation, asking how far a parent and a detective will each go when they believe they already know the truth.
What is Revelations about?
When a child disappears, two men find themselves chasing the same shadow from opposite directions. A pastor receives what he is convinced is a divine sign pointing to the perpetrator — and resolves to act on it himself, outside any court. Meanwhile, a detective follows the same trail through evidence and instinct, increasingly uneasy about who else is closing in on the suspect. Their parallel pursuits converge under mounting pressure, forcing both men to weigh personal conviction against the rules that hold society together. The film keeps the truth of the disappearance carefully obscured, letting the moral question — not the whodunit — carry the tension forward.
Cast & crew
Director Yeon Sang-ho is best known internationally for the zombie blockbuster Train to Busan and its animated prequel Seoul Station. Here he works in a grounded register, steering Ryu Jun-yeol (as the detective) and Shin Hyun-been (the pastor) through a chamber-style drama that relies on close performance over spectacle. The supporting ensemble includes Shin Min-jae, Han Ji-hyun, and Kim Bo-min.
Context & significance
Korean crime dramas have built a devoted following among Persian-speaking viewers worldwide, drawn to their sharp moral framing and intricate plotting — a sensibility that echoes the tradition of Persian literary tragedy. Revelations fits squarely in that lineage: at its core it is a story about justice, grief, and what happens when institutional channels feel too slow or too broken to trust. The faith-versus-law tension resonates across many diaspora communities grappling with questions of legitimacy and personal morality. The film is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing AND Persian subtitles, so viewers can choose the experience that fits them best.
