Dalkomhan Insaeng (translated ‘A Bittersweet Life’) showcases the inimitable Lee Byung-hun primarily, with the obligatory ‘crimson tide’ that is somewhat a part and parcel of most gangster films. Part over the top action choreography, part dripping melodrama – not exactly a ballet with bullets, but comes close to an attempt at it. I found it strangely unsatisfying. Watch out for the violence – mature audiences advised.
isnt this guy the same actor who played Storm Shadow?
Byung Lee is a capable actor, but I think in this one, he underperformed………..just thinking.
who goes against the boss..??? No one, except this dutiful guy. didnt enjoy the violence too much..
quite melodramatic, and i thought he looked nicer without laughing or smiling lol, when he laughs he spoils it.
Lee is cute!
Thats a great high res movie link. thanks.
Not really fond of violent gangster films, but your intro got me curious. Will watch it later.
I watched this some time ago, Byung hun Lee is brilliant. I thought the philosophising “”Master, are the branches moving or is it the wind?” – “That which moves is neither the branches or the wind…It’s your heart and mind” was kindof forced eastern mysticism.
wasnt this the same actor in the frightening ‘old boy’.?
Too melodramatic maybe? I enjoy the Japanese ganster movies more, gritty.
great gangster movie, although I found the story quite simplistic, cud hv done with a few twistsand turns.
One of the fight scenes reminded me of the great Amitabh in his prime years, one against twenty, and guess who wins?!
The male actor looks very familiar, saw some other Korean film.

Just detected your blog: impressive. wishing you continued inspiration and health.
Never thought I’d say this, but it was the most interesting classes I’ve sat in.. and of course, the day you played Sultans of Swing for us. Hope you continue to influence the next generations with your dynamic yet simple teachings.
Your courses were always the best. By the way, just went through a bit of your website. It’s great! Some good stuff in there that I wouldn’t normally chance upon

Still a fan of your unique and sweet finger strum on acoustic guitar. It made an ordinary guitar sound great. Would just love to see and hear one of those too.
