Heart Blackened (Korean침묵; RRChimmuk; lit. “Silence”) is a 2017 South Korean drama film starring Choi Min-sik, Park Shin-hye, Ryu Jun-yeol, and Lee Hanee. It is a remake of the Chinese film Silent Witness.[4][5][6]

Plot

Im Tae-san has everything—wealth, love, and success. On what he believed to be a perfectly happy day, his fiancée and famous singer, Yoo-na, is murdered. And shockingly, his own daughter, Im Mi-ra, is named the prime suspect.

With the public's attention fixated on the case, Tae-san is determined to prove his daughter's innocence even though she has no memory of what happened that night. Rejecting the most elite legal team, he instead chooses Choi Hee-jung, a young lawyer who genuinely believes in Mi-ra’s innocence and will stand by her.

A fierce courtroom battle ensues over the missing seven hours Mi-ra cannot remember. Then, the case takes an unexpected turn when a fan of Yoo-na, Kim Dong-myung, emerges holding the lost CCTV footage from that night.
