"Friend" is called the Republic of Korea version of "Once Upon a Time in America", and it is indeed somewhat similar to the latter in terms of character setting and plot advancement. However, the film also retains the charm of the Republic of Korea film in the reference and imitation, which is also the fundamental reason why the Republic of Korea film has been recognized by domestic and foreign audiences in recent years. On the one hand, it is constantly imitating Hollywood and Hong Kong films. To improve the production level of one's own film, on the one hand, it retains the culture and customs of one's own nation, so that the work itself still retains the national characteristics. The film became the highest-grossing film in the history of the Republic of Korea film when it came out. Because it reflected the luxurious changes of the Republic of Korea in the 1970s and 1990s, and the whole film was in the Busan dialect, it greatly stimulated the nostalgia and resonance of the audience. , so it is particularly popular.

Sang-taek: I'm sorry.
Lee Jeong-suk: You don't need to say that to a friend.

Lee Jeong-suk: Sang-taek, I planned on seeing you and Joong-ho at the airport. Sorry I couldn't make it. Sang-taek! In high school, when you ran away, and then I sent you back home, I bet you didn't know how proud I was of you. Honestly, I wished I was you back then. Isn't it funny? I was home all day today after a bad experience with Dong-su, thinking about what the word "friend" means. I didn't know what friend originally meant until our teacher wrote the definition on the board. I remember he wrote 'a long and close companion'. Doesn't it sound great? My father always told me that loyalty is a man's life. But I'm confused about that now. In fact, I'm not sure what loyalty is anymore. Sang-taek, I'm planning to travel for a while, like you. I'll send this letter to Joong-ho's address. Take care of yourself until you get back. Your friend, Joon-suk.
