Meticulous & Detailed portray of not merely a person, but a period of turmoil

The five-chapter-division seems cliche, but best depicted Jun's life.

A few spots called my tears when narrates Jun's cry in Hong's residence, that recalls me the last part from Breakback Mt, from Ann Lee. A touch of men's deepest hidden nature to love. Another spot when Jun's son took "us" to where father had been spoiled, it was a great empathetic spot also brought me tears.

The film's last part of Jun's illness company with a ticking sound design of medical apparatus. Very detailized. Each chapter with time-referental songs marked and presented each periof of time & its social forms.

Good story meticulously organised.
