Recently discharged from the military, Makdong returns to his native town IIsan to find everything changed. Eager to gain employment, Makdong goes to a seedy Seoul neighborhood where he befriends a gang boss and his girlfriend. He is quickly recruited into the gang but finds his loyalty called into question when the gang's turf is threatened and a relationship is developed between him and the gang boss's girlfriend. The theme of an individual caught in changing times, which recurs in Lee's later films, is elaborated in a calm yet critical manner in this debut feature of the director.
Cheating Notes
Recently discharged from the military, Makdong is recruited into a gang but finds his loyalty called into question when the gang's turf is threatened and a relationship is developed between him and the gang boss's girlfriend. Makdong and the boss's girlfriend kiss on a train at 1:04:2, with her initiating it. She makes him lie down on the bed with her, and then she hugs her at 1:22:47, but I'm not sure if they have implied sex after that. She is pregnant at the end of the movie, but it's also not clear if it's Makdong or the boss who impregnated her.
