Synopsis
A trilogy made by three directors--Ung-chon Kim, Yo-song Mun and Rae-myong Sok--who were called a troica of late-teens movies. The first story is focused on the love or friendship between a feminine high school boy and an outgoing girl. It's love the two long for, yet it becomes friendship due to the grown-ups. The thing is they are high school students. Chong-hun Kim loves to arrange flowers and knitting, but his family wants him to enter the military academy. Kim changes, however, into a manly man after meeting a girl whom the late Tok Chang played. The second part shows a live-in instructor who helps a cripped child come out of the mental darkness caused by a physical handicap. It was common for collegians at that time to earn their tuition and pocket money by teaching a child living at the latter's house. The instructor is too good to be true, being an outstanding baseball player who excels others in studies, too. Anyway, this part is a typical human-interest story favored by the 1970s. The third part is also a happy-ending story. A marathoner aspirant joins the family of a man whom his mother marries. However, he leaves the house as he can't adapt to the atmosphere. He lives alone at a boarding house. Interesting is the scene of the boarding house, a wonderful example of traditional houses in Seoul. The late actor Chang-ho Son appears in this film. Son was one of the main characters of the late-teen movies along with Sung-hyon Lee, Ye-jin Im and Yu-yong Chin. I pray for the repose of Son's soul.
