Sign In. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance Hide Spoilers. CuriosityKilledShawn 22 September Before you watch this film, just be aware that you're not going to walk away from it with a big smile on your face. More like you'll want to slit your wrists. To say that Mr. Vengeance is a powerful, gut-wrenching nightmare is like saying that DaVinci merely dabbled in art.
The plot is so simple yet so complex. The direction is so elegant yet so hard-hitting. The simplistic nature of the story makes the descent into hell so shocking and captivating. You don't realize there is no going back until it's far, FAR too late. His sister needs a kidney transplant, but they don't have the money to pay for it.
He cannot give her one of his own because their blood types do not match. Ryu decides to go to black market organ traders to trade one of his own for one that matches his sister.
Waking up naked and kidney-less in an abandoned building he now needs to raise money for his own kidney. Ryu is now fired from his job by President Park, who is downsizing the company.
His anarchist girlfriend Yeong-mi convinces him to kidnap Park's daughter and hold her to ransom. Vengeance is is blurred and sympathy is felt for almost everyone. Revenge comes at a high price and seemingly never ends. Not that I am saying forgiving and forgetting is the way.
