Comments: Usually I don't go for movies about sublimated machismo, but the story here is engaging and the 'family' relationship is a lot of fun. In-jae Heo is surprisingly good in bringing a heartfelt character to life. This film is touching and sweet until the big fight at the end. I didn't completely hate it though because it was done in a fantasy sort of way. Good movie.

Summary: Tae-sik, who cleansed up the neighborhood back alley with his bare knuckle after dropping out of high school, is released on parole. The once sacrificial sheep of Tae-sik’s frank Min-seok has become a detective and Tae-sik’s henchmen friends have turned on each other’s back. As if have forgotten the old days he shared with them, Tae-sik only does what he wishes to do, which was written down on his crumpling small scrapbook.

Tae-sik finds a warm shelter in the small neighborhood food joint “Sunflower”, where Tae-sik handed his scrapbook to its owner before. Tae-sik tries to live a quiet new life with the lady who runs the restaurant and her daughter, Hee-ju. However, nobody believes him but the owner and her daughter of the “Sunflower”.
