The released main trailer opens with ‘So-eun’ (Kang Seo-ha) seeking out the genius hacker and private detective ‘Joon-kyung’ (Kim Min-kyu) to uncover her brother's unjust death. Joon-kyung tracks the IP of the perpetrator who spread malicious rumors and investigates the records left behind, such as Ji-eun's phone and letters, narrowing down the suspects to friends who attended the funeral, convinced that the perpetrator is close by. So-eun is shocked by the words of her brother's school friends, “Nowadays, everyone knows how to spread rumors on the internet.” In anguish over her brother's painful time that she learned about too late, Joon-kyung tells So-eun, “I will gladly become the knife of that time,” and begins to dig into the case. The two wonder if they can find the cleverly hidden perpetrator in the network, amplifying curiosity. Additionally, the appearances of promising newcomers such as Sung Hee-hyun as ‘Ha-yeon’, a classmate of Ji-eun suspected of being the perpetrator, and Park Dong-hyuk as ‘Eun-ho’, who showcase excellent acting skills, also build anticipation for a work where the ending cannot be predicted until the end. The film 〈The Invisible Man: The Faceless Killers〉 is set to be released this December, promising a rebirth of a masterpiece mystery novel.
