When I first watched it, I might think it was nothing special. The male protagonist wanted to commit suicide, but miraculously came to a protected area under the Han River Bridge. Suicide is something that can only be violent once, and it will fail again and again. The male protagonist did not want to die, and became a modern Robinson on the island. Can't climb trees, can't fish, can only eat mushrooms. But time can change everything, and he can also happen to eat fish and eat dead birds. As long as people live, eat well, and sleep well, that is the greatest pursuit. The male protagonist's hope is to eat a bowl of fried noodles.
Because of the injury on the forehead, the heroine stayed at home and closed herself. She could only live falsely on the Internet by uploading pictures of other people's lives. She has a DSLR and a telescope to photograph the lonely moon in the night sky. The air defense exercise days in spring and autumn are the only reason for her to open the window. The hope of the male protagonist and the hope of the female protagonist meet so unexpectedly. hello. How are you? I am fine, and you? I am fine too. Congratulations. Who are you?
They long to see each other. But the heroine doesn't want him to see his ugly self, and she doesn't want to deceive him with other people's photos. The male protagonist encountered a typhoon and his home was destroyed. He cried, not only because the home symbolizing hope and the fields were gone, but also because he could no longer get the drifting bottle of the confidant who had never met and suddenly lost the news.
The most beautiful part of the whole drama is that the heroine is driven by the urgent hope in her heart and runs to the hero without turning back. When the bus took the male lead away, the helpless female lead was sweating profusely, and turned around as if she had drained all her strength.
Hope is a very extravagant and fragile thing. When you are infinitely close to it, and even almost have it, the hope is shattered, and your body and mind are crying. Fortunately, the siren of the air defense exercise sounded appropriately in the movie, the world stopped, and the heroine found the hero. Their hope is no longer just to fry sauce noodles and walk out of the house fully armed, but to no longer fear the world and the eyes of others.
I think the greatest strength of this film is that it tells people that hope is everywhere, as long as you have a burning desire in your heart and you run forward panting.
PS: I watched "Why Come to My House" by Kang Hye-jung and Park Hee-soon first. Both films feature lonely, marginalized people who have been abandoned for various reasons. One sad and one happy, but the ending of the story is all bright smiles.
Even if my hopes are as small as a bowl of fried noodles, I still have to live a life full of regrets with hope.
