The film "Old Boy" tells a crime story caused by an unfavorable relationship. The protagonist Wu Daxiu sees her sister Li Su'er having sex with her younger brother in the classroom, and Wu Daxiu tells her good friends to spread the story.
Although it was only reported that Li Suer was a girl with a dissolute nature, under the huge pressure of public opinion, Li Suer chose to commit suicide. The younger brother Li Youzhen, who was also panicked under psychological pressure, watched her sister drown in the water. Death. He was afraid of being found out about having an affair with his sister. The younger brother, who suffered a severe psychological damage, began his crazy revenge plan as an adult. He imprisoned Wu Daxiu and spent a total of fifteen years in custody. During these fifteen years, he brought up Wu Daxiu's daughter, Meidu.
Li Youzhen created a new identity for Mido. When everything was ready, he released Wu Daxiu, revealing a little bit of clues to imprison him, leading Wu Daxiu to fall in love with Mido in revenge. Mido also fell in love with this dad who hadn't seen each other since remembering, and went to bed with him. Li Youzhen finally exposed all this in front of Wu Daxiu, all he wanted was to watch Wu Daxiu's heart collapse.
The protagonist was inexplicably kidnapped and imprisoned from the beginning of the film, and this imprisonment was 15 years. Wu Daxiu didn't know until the end that his every move was being calculated. Whether it was the person he loved (Wu Daxiu's daughter) or the people he met, they had already arranged it.
Just like the real world, no one can be a real winner in revenge. Both the avenger and the avenged need to pay a price, and everyone is a victim.
