Korean dark version of "To Youth", tearing youth to pieces for you

Youth is an age that can be squandered at will, and the topic always seems to be endless. This has also led to the plethora of Korean youth-themed movies and mixed results. The familiar routines of

are generally about the rebellion, friendship and hormone secretion of young boys and girls, from campus to workplace, from love to career. For example, Jin Yubin's "Twenty Years Old"

and Lee Jong Suk's "Blood Youth" , their plots are all such main lines.

However, the Korean movie "Glory Years" brought by the editor today is "To Youth" that takes the dark route completely, tearing up innocence and friendship for you to see in the face of reality. The story of

tells that four boys who have just passed the college entrance examination as close friends have different plans for the future, and are ready to enter the society to work with his brother Long Fei ( Kim Ji-soo );

because his grandmother who is reluctant to depend on each other to work hard for herself Sang Woo ( Kim Joon-myeon , suho~), who rushed to raise tuition;

, ​​forced by his mother, had to repeat the third year of high school Zhi Kong ( Yoo Joon-yeol, Gou Hwan~);

relied on being a baseball coach The relationship with his father is full of those who entered the university ( Jin Xizan ornaments).

In order to send Shang Yu off to the army, the four decided to take a long-planned trip, so they put aside all the constraints in reality and drove to the beach.

The four full-bodied four were chatting, burping and farting at the beach, but they happened to meet a woman who was being beaten by a man. Of course, the four of them could not sit idly by. During the dispute, the man fell into the boat on the shore. , Suddenly died unexpectedly.

The panicked four people began to flee. Shang Yu was in a car accident on the way to escape and was taken to the hospital, where he remained in a coma; the three of Long Fei were also arrested by the police as suspects.

learned in the police station that the woman was a well-known female anchor of the TV station, and the man who died suddenly was her husband. But what they didn't know was that the woman was beaten by the man because she thought she had derailed, so in order to preserve her reputation, the woman not only failed to defend the four, but also blamed all the sins on Shangyu.

After being informed by the police, the parents who knew nothing about the situation persuaded them to be more important than friends, hoping to transfer the responsibility to others. The four who had adhered to their friendship began to worry about their future after their parents continued to persuade them. The heart began to shake, so after discussing, the three passed the responsibility to Shang Yu who was still in a coma.

And Shang Yu also passed away after ten days in a coma, leaving only a trembling grandma.

Although the first time I watched it, I would inevitably have the expectation of a plot reversal in my heart. I hope that the little policeman can fight more based on reason. I hope that the woman can discover the truth and tell the truth. I hope that all three of Long Fei’s and Zhikong can be able to Be more united, but the reality is what Zhi Kong’s mother said: "If you didn’t do this thing, you have to say you did it. If you did this thing, you have to say you didn’t do it. Now even if you do it, you have to say you did it. When I didn't do it."

Even Long Fei, who seemed the most loyal and impulsive, was the same in the end. With full of guilt, he pushed the blame on the dead Shang Yu.

Indeed, the catastrophe is approaching and fly separately. When a disaster strikes, everyone just wants to escape by themselves. Even a little hope has to be grasped. How can we care for the safety of others? However, feelings are constantly generated and cultivated between people. Isn't the purpose of maintaining feelings to overcome this human evil little by little?

This movie is like a coming-of-age ceremony for us who are about to enter society, tearing up youth to you, letting you know that reality is not as simple and beautiful as you think. Just like the name "One Way Tirp" before the movie was released, youth is like a one-way journey, with no retreat. This trip to Pohang was also a one-way trip. One friend never returned, and four friends never returned.
