    The setting at the beginning is a bit like the noir movie of "Pulp Fiction". The mistresses of the subordinate and the boss are always imaginative. Koreans still have the ability to turn corruption into magic. A simple and conventional story can be shot smoothly and beautifully, well. Learn it.

    If I had to say, Kim Ji-woon should be the director who prefers blood bags the most among the Korean Cult directors. The plot is actually a bit old-fashioned, but definitely violent enough!

A Bittersweet Life quotes

  • Mr. Kang: Let's not make a fuss.

    Sun-woo: This is my last place. I have nowhere else to go.

    Mr. Kang: Do you really want to take this too far?

    Sun-woo: [Ignores his question, rebukes] Why would you do this to me, Mr. Kang?

    Mr. Kang: Because you did not follow my orders.

    Sun-woo: No, none of that stuff. Tell me the real reason why. Were you really trying to kill me? Do you know how long I have worked for you? Like a dog, I have served you for 7 years! Why? Tell me anything. Anything. Tell me!

    [shoots Mr. Kang]

  • Mr. Kang: What has gotten into you? Don't do this, Sun-woo.

    Sun-woo: [shoots Mr. Kang through the heart] "We can't turn back time can we?"
