A Bittersweet Life

He felt he made the right choice… But the world had already become his enemy.

From acclaimed Korean director Kim Jee-woon (A TALE OF TWO SISTERS, I SAW THE DEVIL) comes the Neo-Noir classic, A BITTERSWEET LIFE. Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun) is not just the manager of an elegant upscale restaurant in Seoul, he is also the trusted and loyal right-hand man for underworld figure Kang (Kim Young-chul).

When Kang suspects his young girlfriend, Hee-soo (Shin Min-a), of being unfaithful, he orders Sun-woo to take care of the problem. When Sun-woo discovers Hee-soo with her lover, instead of killing her as ordered, he grants them mercy and let”s them go.

Now Sun-woo is being hunted down by those he once considered brothers, and must battle his way through his own gang on a path to a final confrontation with Kang.
