Plot 

Tae-sik (Kim Rae-won), who cleansed up the neighborhood back alley with his bare knuckle after dropping out of high school, is released on parole. The once sacrificial sheep of Tae-sik’s frank Min-seok has become a detective and Tae-sik’s henchmen friends have turned on each other’s back. As if have forgotten the old days he shared with them, Tae-sik only does what he wishes to do, which was written down on his crumpling small scrapbook. Tae-sik finds a warm shelter in the small neighborhood food joint ‘Sunflower’, where Tae-sik handed his scrapbook to its owner before. Tae-sik tries to live a quiet new life with the lady who runs the restaurant and her daughter, Hee-ju (Heo I-jae). However, nobody believes him but the owner and her daughter of the ‘Sunflower’.


For me

This movie got my attention about the picture above because of his tattoo. First part of the movie kept us wondering what happen, why is he acting like stupid. Then we found out that he was in a jail for 10 years. The movie is kinda predictable, but it has a twist. The part that he was being beat up, I was like 'come on, fight back, you can kick their a**' and 'aww he didn't'. You guys should watch this movie, some parts of the movie is so sad, made me teary eyes. I rate it 8/10 for the story.
