Time has flown by, and you have become like that before you understand what happened. Flowing time means constant loss, far from beauty and hope, far from ideal and direction. In flashbacks of his life, he said he wanted to go back. From the sold camera, to the lost lover and family, to the indifference and distance from the family, to the female student who was unintentionally killed in the Gwangju incident, to the original starting point - she handed him a mint, he held it Invisible camera, point the lens at the face of that pure first love. If there is anything that has not changed, it must be the sad and infatuated husband who came to tell him that his wife, who was on the verge of death, wanted to see him. That beautiful and persistent first love still haunts the heart of the woman, but he I can barely remember her name. When he arrived at the hospital, what was waiting for him was a body that was unconscious and unable to speak. He couldn't even see her tears. It symbolizes the eternal past of the past, leaving no trace of beautiful words. When the mints scattered all over the ground were smashed by the soldiers, all the beliefs of Jin Yonghao's life, about beauty and longing, were all smashed to pieces, like his foot that was shot. From then on, Jin Yonghao's life was accompanied by bloodshed, pain and sin. If the reverse order makes the audience suddenly realize: it turned out that he was like this at the beginning, but too many changes and accidents in his life and times forced him to an alienated and inhuman situation. Otherwise, he is just an ordinary person who is good at compromising life.

Peppermint Candy quotes

  • Yongho: Do you think life's beautiful?

  • Yongho: I don't want to die alone. I need one bastard to come with me. Just one bastard among all that ruined my life. But then... Who should I kill? It gives me hard time, you know. To pick just one is hard thing to do. The fucking stock broker who made me go clean broke? The vampire like loan shark that charged the ridiculous interest? Or... how about the business partner who run away with my money? Or should I take my ex-wife and my kid to die with me? There're so many fuckers in my life that it's hard to pick just one.
