Jool-tak-dong-si plot
Jun is a refugee teenager from North Korea who is an illegal immigrant at the bottom of the social ladder. He works in Seoul for a groping boss and hands out flyers in his spare time. He finds an ethnic Korean girlfriend from China and ends up in prostitution. The homosexual Hyun is also in those circles and must always be available for his 'sugar daddy'. The two meet via an internet site in a meeting with consequences.

A film that is divided into two parts. I was particularly interested in the first part, which focused on the exploitation of illegally employed North Koreans. Because of their weak position they are treated inferiorly. A fairly silent film, because both the boy and the girl are not talking points. Who are they and what makes them tick? I hoped to get an answer to that, but it never came.
The film makes a plot twist halfway through and a completely different theme with different characters emerged. Prostitution then came to the fore. The film lost me for a moment and it slumped a bit. However, there were a number of solid scenes that seemed particularly authentic.
Furthermore, Seoul is very beautifully depicted as a whole, but also the magical rides on the motorcycle. Good acting too.
