Exceptional piece of art, in its own right.
Both exquisite actors show the depth of their souls, and the depths of their humanity.
That Korean society can cast aside a incredibly talented actor such as Joo Jin Mo, to punish him for not paying an illegal bribe, but instead, courageously taking the hit to his career for his principles also speaks to *his* character, not that of the society as a whole. It's so easy to sit in the back seat, and do nothing of value, while criticizing the driver, isn't it?
I'm watching this in 2025, I am appalled and outraged that a few stupid words among idiot friends has cost him (and us) his career. Everyone woman knows that in a group of men, especially if alcohol is present, the Group IQ drops to that of the dumbest member. Talk about thought police. What's really shameful is how little compassion goes into condemning a person forever, over a minor incident.
Bring Joo Jin-mo BACK!!!
