In 1985, Seung Ho and Dong Shik, best friends in middle school, both have a crush on Myeong Hee, but she doesn't return their feelings. After a bet to discover her thoughts, Myeong Hee is found dead, allegedly raped. The police suspect Dong Shik's mentally ill older brother, Kyung Shik, leading to a rift between the friends. In 1991, Seung Ho, a college activist, is imprisoned and meets Kyung Shik, who is serving time for the murder. Kyung Shik's cryptic behavior and eventual suicide lead to an uneasy reunion between Seung Ho and Dong Shik. By 1998, Dong Shik's family is shattered, with his sister Jin Hee working as a prostitute and murdered. Seung Ho, now a prosecutor, takes the case and encounters Dong Shik once more.

Reviews
Now then, on to the review.
Story: The story...was incredibly confusing for the first half hour or so. I was just not sure what was going on. One thing would happen, and that would lead to a flashback, and then we'd be back to the present, but we aren't even sure if it's actually the present or what; seriously, it was confusing.
The speed with which it was told wasn't too horrible. It let's you kind of get used to what's happening before time jumping a few years and leaving you a little confused again.
The story itself isn't really much. Two friends like the same girl and that causes a rift between them that goes on for years. Nothing new.
Acting: The acting wasn't too bad. It was probably the best part of the movie, even if it wasn't that spectacular.
Kim Da Hyun, I feel, did an awesome job in his role. The same goes for Shin Sung Rok. The rest of the cast didn't really do much for me.
Music: Other than one song that seems to get played/sung a lot, I don't remember a single song or any of the music. As for the one song I do remember, I definitely disliked it.
Rewatch Value: I'm not really sure if I'd ever want to watch it again, but I figure I probably wouldn't say no if anybody ever asked me to watch it with them or something.
Overall: Unfortunately, I don't really have much to say about this movie. It didn't really leave a huge impact on me or anything. If you can get over the confusing parts of the movie though, I think you could probably enjoy this a lot more than I did.
