Plot summary

In Punguna, Na Woon-gyu plays the role of Nicolai Park, a veteran of the Russian army, who has returned to Korea from European battlefields. Broke, hungry, and unable to find employment, he is taken in as a boarder by Kim Chang-ho. Chang-ho's friend, Cha-duk becomes romantically involved with Hae-ok, who had sold herself to support her parents. Cha-duk's wife, Yeong-ja becomes involved with Nicolai, who rejects her proposal to run away with him. The romantic complications spiral until Yeong-ja kills Cha-duk. The film ends with Nicolai departing for destinations unknown while the other boarders bid him farewell.

gollark: Anyway, this is... somewhat orthogonal to the main point here: that advertising is almost certainly affecting you a bit.
gollark: So if you buy a phone which got 4.5 stars or something, then you see another cheaper one with equally good reviews, you'll send the old one back...?
gollark: How will you actually know if the Voxel was going to work the same as the oPhone, though?
gollark: Let's imagine you're buying a phone or something. Imagine there are two types of phone: the Orange oPhone XIIX+MAX and the Goggle Voxel 4. They might work exactly the same for you, unrealistically, but the Orange oPhone is more expensive. You were influenced a bit because of advertising, and because of that bought an oPhone over a Voxel.
gollark: Or a mildly worse but better-advertised one, because stuff rarely works exactly the same.
