Poet Yun Dong-ju, a lifelong friend and rival, and the independence movement
This is a story about the bright youth of Song Mong-gyu. During the Japanese colonial period, where names, language, and dreams were all forbidden, Dong-ju (Kang Ha-Neul) and Mo-gyu (Mong-gyu) are cousins of the same age who were born and raised in a certain family.
Ngyu (Park Jeong Min) For Dongju, a young man who dreams of becoming a poet, Mongyu, a young man who acts without hesitation for his beliefs, is his closest friend, but also a mountain that is difficult to overcome.
The two left a confusing country that forced people to change their surnames and went on to study in Japan. After arriving in Japan, Mongyu became even more devoted to the independence movement, and even in desperate moments he wrote poetry, brooding over the tragedies of the times.
The conflict between Dong-ju and Song Mong-gyu, who are friends and eternal rivals who spent their lives together during the dark times, gradually deepens.
The Korean film "Dongju" depicts the bright youth of poet Yoon Dongju and independence activist Song Mongyu, who were lifelong friends and rivals in 1945, a time when names, languages and dreams were not permitted.
The film became a hot topic as it stars South Korea's leading film director Lee Joon-ik and actors Kang HaNeul and Park Jeong Min, who are popular as the "faces of youth" today.
