In fact, I didn't understand it the first time. It was all for Shin Min Ah and Lee Byung Hun. But the second time I watched it I cried. In the play, Lee Byung Hun's Kim Shi-jang has never felt happy or sweet for a moment in his life, but when he was monitoring his lover for the boss, and when Shin Min-ah was playing the cello, in the melodious music, Kim Shi-jang finally felt a kind of ordinary person. to feel the sweetness. It is not so much that Jin Shijang fell in love with Shin Min Ah and then betrayed the boss, it is better to say that Jin Shijang wanted to keep Shin Min Ah beautiful. Because the beauty in her is something she can't have. He died with a smile even when he finally died. Because he thought of the only sweetness in his life. The dialogue between the master and the apprentice at the end of the film is even more tragic. In the end, I really feel sorry for Jin Shichang. The title of the film reflects his tragic life.
