Instead, he callously scolds Eun-sung: "Learn to bear it. But Sa-bok doesn't go easier on her as a result. So Eun-sung ignores her father's warnings, and chooses to protect her dad's low reputation from the schoolyard insults of the landlady's snotty son. As is often the case in Korean melodramas, the sins of the father are passed on to their children. He's four months behind in rent, and everything in his life depresses him, including Eun-sung, and his sympathetic landlord's nosy wife. At first, he's a deadbeat dad who cares more for his taxi cab's broken rear-view mirror than he does about his fellow man. The same is thankfully not true of Sa-bok. You're not alone." As a result, there's never a moment where Peter's motives are small enough to be sensible. Reporters go wherever there is news," and "Once this footage airs, the entire world will be watching. Peter's essentially a sandwich board-sized blank slate that Eom and Jang plaster with unbelievable rationalizing like "I'm a reporter. Still, there's nothing more frustrating than watching Peter portrayed as a starch-stiff supporting character whose very presence is supposed to awaken noble aspirations in a lead character. This uncritical deference is almost certainly an ingrained peril of working with the real life Linzpeter shortly before his death. This myopic interest in Sa-bok as a zero-to-hero success story is instantly frustrating since it means that Peter is left largely undeveloped. All we know about him is that he saw that a news story needed reporting, then traveled from Tokyo to Seoul to Gwangju, and finally reported the news because he wanted to shed light on the situation. Screenwriter Yu-na Eom and director Hun Jang (" Rough Cut," "Secret Reunion") both focus primarily on Sa-bok's transformation into a political figurehead. Unfortunately, Sa-bok, a character who is most human when he is most neurotic, eventually becomes completely unsympathetic once he stops being selfish, and starts acting like a man on the road to an unbelievable moral awakening. He learns to become a better, more politically conscious man after he chauffeurs Jürgen-referred to as "Peter" throughout the movie-past military barricades and into Gwangju.
Sa-bok's story is, as realized in the film, fairly trite. Song plays Sa-bok Kim, a penny-pinching widower and the oblivious father of pre-teen Eun-sung (Eun-mi Yoo).
