"Tears of Friends"
Orland 2022-04-19 09:02:58
I actually got to know Jang Dong Gun through this movie when I was a high school student. My friend and I watched this Korean movie "Friends" at their home, which tells the story between friends. The beginning of the film is a short school clip, a good boy with excellent grades, two troubled teenagers who are ruthless, and a lewd-faced man who resembles a half-way supporting role. The four have been close friends since childhood. In the end, everyone grew up independently, and the trajectories of life did not seem to intersect. When two friends are fighting not for love or money, but just for the fight, the film comes to an abrupt end with one's blood and the other's confession. At the end of the movie, the protagonist looks up and sees the blue sky where four friends swim and play in the sea when they were young. The girl I once liked, the group beatings in the movie theater together, the drug addicts of my friend, the underworld, all the past has turned into tears of remorse. Life or friendship seems to be incomparably clear after the movie ends. Hold on to what you should insist on, and cherish what you should cherish.

Sang-taek: I'm sorry.
Lee Jeong-suk: You don't need to say that to a friend.

Lee Jeong-suk: Sang-taek, I planned on seeing you and Joong-ho at the airport. Sorry I couldn't make it. Sang-taek! In high school, when you ran away, and then I sent you back home, I bet you didn't know how proud I was of you. Honestly, I wished I was you back then. Isn't it funny? I was home all day today after a bad experience with Dong-su, thinking about what the word "friend" means. I didn't know what friend originally meant until our teacher wrote the definition on the board. I remember he wrote 'a long and close companion'. Doesn't it sound great? My father always told me that loyalty is a man's life. But I'm confused about that now. In fact, I'm not sure what loyalty is anymore. Sang-taek, I'm planning to travel for a while, like you. I'll send this letter to Joong-ho's address. Take care of yourself until you get back. Your friend, Joon-suk.
