Surrounded by the singing, he left his partner, went to the quiet shore and lay down on the flower bushes alone, looking at the sky, excited and sad because of the wonder of life, and inexplicably weeping. He is less than 20 years old. The time was 1979. This is the ending of the movie.

"What should I do if you leave suddenly. What should I do, life without you." The same song. The girls and boys who sang this song became sloppy middle-aged men and women. He could only sing hoarse by himself and chose to be killed by a train. He is also middle-aged, and his destroyed lives are spread out one by one. Already 1999. This is the beginning of the movie.

"I'm going back!" His cry made me shiver in this cold night. Li Cangdong calmly flashed back the memory of a deceased person. That is the life of a man named Kim Yong-ho, and it has nothing to do with our lives. But such a life is like a fish that has been cut open on a chopping board, its eyes fixed on the void, the whole body is still trembling slightly because of the action of nerve endings, and every scale tells the cruelty of slaughter. This kind of life unfolded in front of me in an unavoidable and irrevocable manner on a cold spring night, which terrified me.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad. We are equally terrified of our lives being destroyed by frame-by-frame.

Peppermint Candy quotes

  • Yongho: Do you think life's beautiful?

  • Yongho: I don't want to die alone. I need one bastard to come with me. Just one bastard among all that ruined my life. But then... Who should I kill? It gives me hard time, you know. To pick just one is hard thing to do. The fucking stock broker who made me go clean broke? The vampire like loan shark that charged the ridiculous interest? Or... how about the business partner who run away with my money? Or should I take my ex-wife and my kid to die with me? There're so many fuckers in my life that it's hard to pick just one.
