No Doubt (Korean: 돌이킬 수 없는; RR: Dolyigil Soo Eobtneun) is a 2010 South Korean mystery-thriller film directed by Park Soo-young. The film explores the psychological tension and social consequences within a rural community following a tragic crime.
Plot
The story is set in a quiet village located outside of Gyeonggi-do. The narrative begins when Mi-Rim, the daughter of a man named Choong-Sik (played by Kim Tae-woo), disappears. Her body is discovered near a river several months later. Around the time of the disappearance, a man named Se-Jin (played by Lee Jung-jin) and his family move into the community.
When Choong-Sik discovers that Se-Jin is a registered sex offender, he alerts his neighbors. The community's reaction is immediate and hostile, with residents targeting Se-Jin and his family based on his past record. As the investigation progresses, the villagers' suspicions harden into certainty, despite the lack of direct evidence linking Se-Jin to the crime.
