A Bittersweet Life
2005・South Korea・120 minutes
An elegant sky lounge floating like an island in the sky above Seoul, it’s like Sun Woo’s own little castle. After 7 years he has climbed to the top, managing the upscale lounge and restaurant. An intelligent, cool-headed perfectionist, Sun Woo has earned the absolute trust of his boss with his undivided loyalty and by adeptly managing the business.
His boss, Mr. Kang, is a callous man with a secret... his young love, Hee-soo. When Mr. Kang suspects Hee-soo might have another boyfriend, he orders Sun-woo to keep a close eye on her and to kill her if she has betrayed him.
After following her for a few days, Sun-woo barges in on Hee-soo and her boyfriend with a clear mission... but to his own surprise, he lets them go. Sun-woo hopes everything will just go back to the way they were. But his decision has launched an irreversible war with the whole gang – guys who were like brothers just the day before.
