more grown, more lonely

A person's personality is largely determined by the identity of their parents and the environment around them.

Personality plays a decisive role in the direction of life trajectory.

So Dong-soo's death can be seen as inevitable.

Dong-soo is the son of an undertaker. In traditional culture, people and things related to death are not clean. That's why he was treated with indifference by other children since he was a child.

Some people will become depressed, introverted, and silent. Some go to the other extreme, sharp-edged and impulsive.

Won-seo was influenced by his underworld father and became the boss of the school. Dong-soo wanted to avoid being bullied, and relying on him was the best way.

And just like that, Dong-soo became Won-seo's sidekick.

The first disagreement between Dong-soo and Won-seo was over the issue of Chun-sook. Dong-soo realizes the difference between him and San-tae. Yuan Rui sees himself more as a sidekick than a friend.

(Actually, Yuan Rui's friendship with Shan Tai has also deteriorated a bit, and he is more of a show off capital.)

This stimulated Dong-soo's sensitive psychology to a certain extent.

He didn't want to be looked down upon, and he no longer wanted to be second.

So he broke into the office with a baseball bat and smashed the trophy. This is a demonstration, or an extremely willful move.

Look, what Won-seo dared not do, I, Dong-soo, did.

If the two were not in the same industry, they might have been at peace with each other, but they both chose the gang.

This is probably also a kind of rebellious mentality. Dong-soo wants to compete with Won-seo in what he does best.

When two tigers fight, they will die. Yuan Rui, who has always been the boss, will not bow his head, and Dong Zhu, who has worked hard to climb up, will not bow his head.

I want to end with a song.

more grown, more lonely.

Friend quotes

  • 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.
