When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 602: Joint Security Area

Only then did he discover it.

As a husband, he failed.

As a father, he is still unqualified.

There is a melancholy in my heart that I want to express.

Some people may exercise and sweat to vent their emotions.

Some people want to vent, so they drink to relieve their boredom.

Sung Dong-il is that kind of person. He drinks a few glasses when he is happy, and he also drinks a few glasses when he is unhappy.

The snack stand is still the same snack stand.

The boss is still the same boss.

Her name is Baocheng and she has been working here for a long time.

She is familiar with most of the families around her.

I can’t say I understand everything, big or small, but I know a thing or two.

When diners eat, they always talk about their parents.

"Boss, give me a plate of crescent bones and a bottle of soju."

Sung Dong-il walked into the snack stand, exuding a melancholy aura, and found an empty table to sit down.

There was an unshakable sadness on his face and a hint of weakness in his voice.

The boss said with a smile: "It will be ready soon, just wait a moment."

Soon, the crescent bone and two bottles of soju were brought up.

Cheng Dongri was a little surprised because he only ordered a bottle of soju.

The boss said softly: "What's so hard about life? This bottle of wine is for you, no charge. Get drunk, the sun will rise tomorrow as usual. Life will go on, and difficulties will pass."

In an instant, Cheng Dongri felt a touch of warmth from a stranger.

"Thank you."

The boss waved his hand and said, "I'll continue to be busy. I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he walked to the back of the cart and continued to work.

It seemed that with these words, Sung Dong-il's mood improved a little.

However, he continued to drink one cup after another.

Soon, the bottle of soju was almost finished, but the crescent bone hardly moved.

Just then, a voice was heard.

"Auntie, the crescent bones and fish cakes cost three thousand dollars in total. I want to pack them for my wife."

This is President Kim's voice.

Cheng Dongri suddenly looked up, looked at him with drunken eyes, and then smiled.

"Hey, sit here and have a drink with me."

He patted the bench next to him, making a snapping sound.

President Jin glanced at him, sat down and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to fish cakes."

Cheng Dongri poured him a glass of wine and said with red eyes: "My daughter Yihua is really miserable and pitiful. She has been suffering with a useless husband like me, and now she is seriously ill. What should I do..."

There seemed to be a hint of crying in the voice.

This man is not as carefree and heartless as he usually appears.

President Jin knew that the only thing he could do now was to listen.

"My Ichika is so pitiful..."

Cheng Dongri tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Yihua..."

Who says men can't cry?

Even with his head held high, Sung Dong-il's tears were streaming down his cheeks.

President Jin also felt unhappy.

But as a man, he didn't know how to comfort his sad neighbor.

Sung Dong-il cried out, “I can’t live without Yihua… I can’t live… Oh God… Yihua…”

The diners around looked at them, but no one came to disturb them.

Who doesn’t have a story about the person who ordered this to eat?
At this moment, Cheng Dongri's expression suddenly changed.

"What's the big deal about a pathology test? The results haven't come out yet. I hope nothing will happen."

President Jin nodded quickly.

Cheng Dongri's face turned into a mask of pain again, and he cried, "But, what if Yihua is really sick? You should at least say something." President Jin patted his shoulder and said, "Paula's father will be fine. The pathology examination is not a big deal."

Sung Dong-il's expression continued to change into one of irritation.

"What do you mean it's okay? Because it's someone else's business, so you just say it casually? You said it's okay because it's someone else's business. My Ichika is so pitiful."

It is said that President Jin is an honest man.

Let me say one sentence, just one sentence.

"I can't live without Ichika. If Ichika dies, I'll die with her. I'll die too."

Afterwards, Sung Dong-il began to return to normal.

"No, the doctor was smiling when he talked about the pathology examination."

"But what if, what if Yihua gets sick? I have no energy to raise three children by myself."

President Jin pursed his lips and sat aside.

He didn't know whether there was something wrong with him or with Sung Dong-il.

Emotions change so quickly that it's hard to keep up.

His expression changed too quickly.

"If Ichika isn't around, can't I just take good care of her? Right?"

"No, no. What's the use of a child if the flower is gone?"

Sometimes he cries, sometimes he laughs, he's a bit schizophrenic indeed.

President Kim muttered, "Finally I know who Deok-sun looks like."

……

It's twelve o'clock at night.

Li Renyong sat at the table with a typewriter in front of him.

He was thinking about what kind of script to write?
In theory, many Korean films in later generations are very famous.

For example, "Parasite" and the like.

But due to the limitations of the times, some things are difficult to copy.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

Li Renyong shouted, "Come in, the door is not closed."

Huili walked in wearing slippers and said, "I see the light in your room is still on. It's already twelve o'clock. Are you still not asleep?"

Li Renyong waved his hands irritably and said, "Something's going on, Mom, you go to bed first."

He now understood how much of a headache it was when he was always urged to write articles.

Not only were scripts prepared for exemption from military service, but there were also many scripts prepared for establishing television stations.

From now on, I will be busy.

"You have classes tomorrow, remember to go to bed early."

"understood."

After Huili left, the room became quiet again.

Li Renyong looked into the yard through the window.

The branches of the chestnut tree swayed gently in the wind.

and many more!

Li Renyong suddenly thought of a movie that was of excellent quality but not very famous.

Joint Security Area!
Few people know about this movie, but it has great historical significance.

The last scene, in particular, is not only known as the most heartbreaking ending in Korean film history.

Even around the world, it is regarded as one of the top 100 classic scenes in film history.

When I first watched this movie, I just thought it was a good movie.

When the last scene came out, accompanied by the BGM, I almost cried.

In later years, "Joint Security Area" not only swept all major awards on the peninsula, but also won the Berlin Golden Bear Award.

It can be said that as long as this movie is released, there will be basically nothing that can compete with it this year.

The general plot tells the story of a North Korean soldier at a sentry post in the Joint Security Area at the Panmunjom border being killed by a bullet from an unknown source, triggering a gunfight between the two countries.

Both sides believe that their opponents should be held responsible for the accident.
