He loved those who suffered from Hansen’s disease as himself; served the country with love even after being sentenced to life imprisonment; and even adopted his enemy’s son as his own son. Son Yang-Won was a saint, the likes of which could not be found even in world history. However, the movie depicts a plain person who also suffered with humane agony and dealt with the hidden side of the person who overcame the pain.
