About the choice: a positive breakthrough, or a roundabout life?
"Itaewon Class", which has aired several episodes, is a pretty good story. The skeleton of "revenge", the process of "entrepreneurship", and the growth of each character together build the spiritual core of this series-about "choice".
People all over the world have probably tossed a coin when they were lost. Sometimes positive, sometimes negative. But at a moment, it can only be one side. Just like every time you face a choice, good or bad, you can only make one decision. One of the choices presented by the story of Itaewon is: a positive breakthrough, or a roundabout life?
Park Shilu: If I kneel once, will the world feel better?
When Park Shilu was 29 years old, he opened his first restaurant in Itaewon. Named "Ganli". Later, the store manager Zhao Yirui asked about the origin of the store name. Shilu said, I think my life is a bit bitter, think, sweeten it.
The 19-year-old Shilu wants to apply for the Police University. Life is fairly stable, and the future looks smooth. until encountering misfortune. On the first day of transferring with his father, he offended the rich second generation by helping his bullied classmates. This rich second-generation father happened to be Shilu's father's boss. Choices lie in front of you: drop out. Or at the request of the rich generation, kneel down and apologize to the rich second generation. The way of life is clear: I want to live with a clear conscience. Don't get down on your knees and apologize for something you don't feel sorry for. The price was also clear: he dropped out of school. Father is unemployed.
Dropping out of school and being unemployed are not a big deal in the eyes of the father and son who chose faith and refused to bow their heads. If you drop out of school, you can take the certification test to continue your studies; if you lose your job, you can start a fresh start. As long as you can live, what's the big deal? As long as you can live.
The so-called "bad luck" is one after another. The second-generation rich driver hit and ran in a car accident, and Shilu's father, who was hit and flew, was seriously injured and died. The wealthy generation with deep pockets finds someone to pack and send a lot of reconciliation money to the mourning hall.
Shi Lu accidentally finds out who the real murderer is. Without any hesitation, the rich second generation who was hiding in the hospital to recover. He asked why innocent people had to cover him, why he had to escape instead of saving the wounded, and his father died. In the rage, the fists rained down. The rain poured down, blood poured. The police arrived, friends discouraged him, and Shilu was faced with a choice again: kill the real murderer, give life for life, be disheartened, and die. Or just stop there, don't take yourself up for this scum, and don't let Izumi's father rest in peace. The life path is difficult to choose: keep the real murderer alive and suffer the punishment of violence. The price is also clear. Officials and businessmen colluded, power and money colluded. The real culprit is getting away with it. The bitter master was sentenced to three years in prison for attempted murder.
He lost his father at a young age and was imprisoned. Power oppresses people, and hatred is not over. Dropped out of high school with a criminal record. Park Shilu was transferred to hard mode and started a bitter life.
Released from prison at the age of 22. Shilu took a letter from a friend he received in prison and sent it to Itaewon, Seoul, which was mentioned in the letter. Look at this famous business district, but only one corner of the peninsula covers the whole world. Shilu is determined to open a store in Itaewon, where the rent is extremely expensive. A friend asked when it would open, Shilu said 7 years later. My friends are about to squirt, but 7 years later, it sounds like a daydream. 7 years later. 29-year-old Park Shilu opened his first store in Itaewon.
At the age of 19, Shi Lu, who was in prison for the first time, asked questions. Kneel down once, will the world be a better place? At the age of 29, Shi Lu, who met his enemy again in the police station, gave his answer. Endure once, last time, again and again. Feel better this time. But just this time and time again, people change.
Choose to endure once. will feel better. The price is that people change. In the face of the choices he has encountered, Shilu has never chosen a detour, and has always chosen to face it directly. These choices made him a special person. Special - stubborn. Willful. uncompromising. Special - clear. Keep the faith. unchanged.
The story of Park Shilu started with the first store opened in Itaewon. Opening a store is just the first step. It can be expected that every next step will not be so pleasant. If you don't feel good, then you won't feel good. Originally, when I read the story, I wanted to see those who could not get it. Want to see those survivor deviations, want to see what they can't do. Since the people off-screen have knelt down and changed, and have prepared excuses for every compromise they make. Just rely on the people on the screen. If you can go all the way to the dark, that would be great.
