First, because he and his sister have different blood types, he failed to use his kidney to give her sister an idea; second, Ryu lost his job. Then, he wanted to use the black market to exchange his kidney for a kidney for his sister, but he was deceived, and all his 10 million won was also defrauded. It was not over yet. Fate seemed to be making a joke. At this time, the doctor notified the A suitable kidney can be transplanted, and Ryu has no money to operate on his sister.

In the end, Ryu failed to save his sister, the boss failed to save his daughter, and they all started to take revenge on those who killed their hopes!
The inner pain and hatred of the two male protagonists have made them gradually evolve from normal people to perverts. They seem to be tricked by fate, but this is only a microcosm of the Korean social background. It is clear that Ryu's girlfriend, this society needs a revolution, seems to have done something for her own goals since she was a child, pretending to be deaf to enter the deaf school to learn sign language, smuggling, handing out flyers and so on.
There are many details in the movie, such as the identity of Ryu's girlfriend. When Ryu's girlfriend persuaded Ryu, she mentioned the revolution, what was printed on the computer, what she said when handing out leaflets on the street, what she said when she was kidnapped, and some things discovered by the police, she pretended to be a deaf and dumb person, all reminding Her identity, there is an organization behind her. Another point of her residence, is a whole row of books, reading can be wise, which is in line with her ideals.
There is also an account of the background of the film. The four men next to Ryu lived in such a small room. The place where Ryu was cut off was an abandoned residential area. The factory employees stopped the car and mutilated themselves in front of the boss in order to survive.
Ryu was working in the factory, with that look after get off work, his eyes were sluggish and numb, and he couldn't see any hope. The elder sister moaned in pain, but the four men next door licked while listening to such a voice, how ironic. There are also many details and shots in the movie, you can taste it carefully.
There are very few lines throughout the film, so each sentence is particularly important. The director has a very good grasp of the film, and every shot has a meaning that he wants to express, which not only promotes the story, but also shows the cruelty of the times.
The three protagonists in the film, Song Kangho, Shin Ha-kyun, and Bae Doo-na, can be said to be all in place, especially Song Kang-ho. Many scenes are just Song Kang-ho's face, you can carefully evaluate it.
Overall, this is a very good movie. If you have time, you can watch it patiently and carefully, think about it carefully, and be a wise man with energy in the era of entertainment.
