A Bittersweet Life stars Lee Beyong Heon as sun-woo, a lonely gangster who dedicates his life to his organization. After winning the boss' favor, he is given a task to watch over the boss' girlfriend while the boss is away. In this task he fails, and even more falls in love with the girl. After the boss finds out, many events occur and sun-woo finds himself trying to find a way out. Directed and written by Kim Ji woon (A Tale of two sisters), the film is shot very nicely and music is a plus. (In Spain, the film won an award for it's OST). Lots of blood and violence, the film takes you right into the fights with sun-woo. An entertaining film, well directed and shot. I liked this film much more than John Woo's "The Killer." Maybe because the director and lee byeong heon made you feel like you're right there with them.
