“Chil-su and Man-su,” “Black Republic” (1990), and “To the Starry Island” (1993) are movies by director Park Gwang-su that depict life with sympathy and take a dispassionate view of society. The main characters are Man-su, whose father is serving a long term in prison and thus never had a proper job, and Chil-su, who seeks to escape from reality by being immersed in the American dream. As such, the movie shows the happiness and sadness of Korean society in the 1980s.
 
“Chil-su and Man-su” is a movie that received rave reviews for directing by a new director for depicting the common people surrounding us. This movie will provide a new opportunity for viewers to remember Seoul in the 1980s, which was the main living space of the characters.
