Yoo Bo Ra – the screenwriter – also wrote “Just Between Lovers” and this short drama special has her style of telling the story.

It’s a very ambitious cinema: it presents very intense relationships between brothers and a closed circle of revenge and hatred. The story is really heartbreaking and painful. The portraits of characters are build in minimalist way and we have to guess what has happened in the past in their life. We watch the younger brother (palyed by Seo Young Joo) and we indeed feel his loneliness, anger and innocence. He asks, is it possible to have a better life? Is it possible to have a hope?

The cinematography is outstanding, the ambience of an abandoned neighborhood and a fish shop creates a suggestive cold image of the world. The music fits in this cold and bitter world.
I think it’s one of the best drama special I’ve watched. While good, funny, interesting drama is 8/10, this one deserves 10. I highly recommend.
