Cheol-min is an ex-boxer who used to work as a “collector”, and having withdrawn from organized crime, he’s currently working as a night attendant for a parking lot. One night, a blind girl named Jeong-hwa enters his booth, as she used to sit with the previous attendant and listen to TV dramas. The two of them get along from the beginning and eventually form a romantic relationship.
However, a dark secret from Cheol-min’s past resurfaces, forcing him to associate himself with crime once more, this time for her sake. Because of this, their relationship seems doomed.
Song Il-gon directs a film that balances romance, drama and action, although he obviously focuses more on the first two. The relationship between the two protagonists is very interesting, with the added element of the girl’s blindness separating the film from many of the “lady and the tramp” films that are produced in the country. Additionally, the violent scenes are very well shot and the final one is utterly impressive, in another tactic that makes the film stand apart.
