He felt he made the right choice... But the world had already become his enemy. From acclaimed Korean director Kim Jee Woon 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 Mina), 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. (Umbrella Entertainment)
