A Bittersweet Life

Hwang Jeong-min, Lee Byung-hun, Kim Yeong-cheol, Shin Min-a, Kim Roe-ha, Lee Ki-young, Oh Dal-su, Kim Hae-gon, Kim Han, Jin Goo, Hwang Jung-min

Korean crime thriller directed by Kim Jee-woon. Hotel manager Kim Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun) also happens to be the right-hand man of underworld crime boss Kang (Kim Yeong-cheol).

When Kang begins to suspect that his young girlfriend is being unfaithful, he orders Sun-woo to deal with her, but when Sun-woo finds her in bed with another man, he uncharacteristically grants them mercy.

Stung by Sun-woo's betrayal, Kang orders his henchmen to hunt Sun-woo down and kill him, but Sun-woo is not ready to give up without a fight.
