Director So Sang-min studied religion before taking up film directing, which shows in his attention to character and the virtues of faith, love, and loyalty.
In his first feature-length film, So Sang-min explores the lives of young professionals and office workers in Seoul through the misadventures of a vulnerable man stuck between poetry and the law exam.
At one point, the constantly drunk Sun-woo walks around naked in the unisex section of a rest house, until an attendant rushes to cover him. This mediocre event fairly sums up his relationships. After a street altercation, a cabbie pegs him pretty well – “A well educated man like you shouldn’t act like that.” And yet when real chaos hits, Sun-woo responds with true courage, both physical and moral.
