As one of my favorite Korean movies, I watched the director's cut 5 times before and after.
Briefly summarize the plot: Li Shangjiu was thrown out of the vested interest camp by his elder brother Li Jiangxi due to temporary greed, and instead joined hands with prosecutor Yu Changxun, who had no background and no connections, and defeated Li Jiangxi as the core interest. group. From the perspective of Li Shangjiu and Yu Changxun, the process of struggle was twists and turns, and after paying the price of the lover, the interest group was finally ruined. Thought it was a bright ending? Wrong, the ending song remembered that it was Li Jiangxi sitting in an office that looked like the old days, talking about people's forgetfulness and easy manipulation, and finally a series of laughter with very middle-aged characteristics. The end.
It can be said that in the end, the interest group is still the same interest group. It's a dark ending. But in fact, it is possible that Li Shangjiu and Yu Changxun had no chance of defeating the interest group at all, but they were wiped out at the beginning of showing their revenge. From this point of view, the director still arranged a fairly bright ending. Looking at the current situation in South Korea over the past few years, we have long understood that interest groups cannot be defeated. Politicians, mouthpieces, entertainment stars, and chaebols are intertwined. Power, wealth, and sex are all inseparable from each other. Poor bastard who got kicked out.
The topic of the current situation has come to an end. I would like to talk about an intriguing branch: Li Shangjiu and Zhu Enhui.
Seeing this dialogue, I don't have a good feeling in my heart.
According to the details revealed in the whole film, Zhu Enhui should be a member of the girl group who was excavated and cultivated when it was still smooth sailing for a long time. Of course, there is a high probability that they are also lovers. Zhu Eunhui can take the initiative to approach Li Jiangxi as a sexual reception for the long-term revenge plan. When I saw this plot for the first time, I was very confused. How big of a heart can I let a beloved (or loved) woman play this role. After watching it four or five times, I realized that this may be the normal state of the Korean entertainment industry, so that no one in it realizes its morbidity. However, I prefer to believe that Joo Eun-hye does this out of love for Chang-jiu, especially when revenge has become the spiritual pillar of Chang-jiu. In the play, "Mojito" appeared in a flashback after Shangjiu learned of Zhu Enhui's death, and appeared again in the dialogue between Tiantai Shangjiu and Yu Changxun at the end. This woman is an indelible memory for Shangjiu, and it is a symbol for us watching the movie. It seems that "Wanderlust" and "True Love Invincible" can appear in one person at the same time.
Of course, it is worth remembering the phrase "Bury the memory in your heart, forget the bus you have missed".
