Hyeong

Wow! I started watching without any idea what this was about. Because Jung Suk was acting I expected a comedy. But no ... I was crying towards the end.

Both actors did well in bringing out their love hate half-sibling relationship when the older brother is out on parole to look after his Olympian dongsaeng who became blind after an injury to his head during a judo competition. One cares only of his temporary freedom while the other is utterly depressed and refuses to leave the house.

Therein begins a story of how these 2 brothers form a hate love co dependent relationship and slowly learn to live with each other. The older brother stars taking better care of the disabled one and slowly they form a less uncomfortable alliance.

SPOILER: Family oriented centimental flim. One time watchable. 2 brothers one (doo-shik) runaway kid halfbrother who ended up on jail other one famous judo athlete (doo-young)who lot his eyesight on the event. Jailed one get paroled from prison to take care his brother both lost there parents when there are teen age. Doo-young actual plan enjoy the parole life but situation changes when he back to his bother is not in good codition he is depressed and malnutrition first he hesitate to help his younger brother finally the know each other and get back to normal life. Then elder help to younger to get back to Paralympic to get medal but first he hesitated then he changed Doo-sik find he is cancer patent only three more months be alive With the help of elder Bro he get gold medal and live a life without brother.

This centers on the two main characters, one a flawed no-goodnik who uses his athlete half-brother's sudden blindness to scam his way into compassionate parole from prison. He returns home to find his judo champion sibling curled up, malnourished, apathetic and smelly.

And he complains, a full-fledged turd muttering and hissing his disgust. But old habits die hard and he sets out to scam again.

How the two estranged brothers reconnect and heal is the point here and both actors portray their characters beautifully. The mutual muttered profanity and insults, the goading and impatience seems to snap the younger blind judo wrestler out of his funk and is hilarious. His older brother comes to terms with his past choices to leave the family and makes a remarkable decision to help his brother return to competitive sport.

I cried a lot in the last half hour. It was a wonderful, simple story played with finesse by both actors. Highly recommend.

This movie was beautiful and I'm happy I was able to see it. But fyi your going to need tissues your nose will be stuffed up and you will be crying alot. So heads up yeah? I love you Korea I'm coming to you. Xox.

As a hallyu veteran, I could have guessed the exact story before viewing this movie. Despite this, the acting and characterization by the 2 main leads went beyond my expectations making for a greatly enjoyable watching experience. The familiar blend of comedy and drama elements of Korean entertainment has really been perfected in this film. My main criticism; the plot felt rushed from around the halfway mark and the 2 other characters that should have been essential to the story felt like generic placeholders. I was still sufficiently emotionally satisfied in the ending despite it and Hyeong has definitely become a top K-film for me.
