==Plot==<br />
In a corner of the neigborhood electronic game room sits Kang-jae ([[Choi Min-Sik]]), the man bumming around with a cigarette butt in his mouth. His old friend from the heydays of ruling the backstreets has become boss of a crime organization while he was merely endowed with a small video shop for his contributions to organized crime. Even this meager business mostly constituted of selling porn videos to teenage delinquents is as unstable as his fighting skills.<br />
<br />
The only time his mucous-ridden, bloodshot eyes brighten up is when he is sitting in front of the game machine...this is what makes him not just a browbeat but a 'third rate' browbeat.<br />
<br />
An incident inadvertently forces Kang-jae to sign a life-risking contract with the boss of a major gang, a difficult decision but one that Kang-jae believed would help him return home triumphantly. Then out of the blue, he receives a letter.<br />
<br />
"Kang-jae...thank you for everything.<br />
With your help, I've been able to continue working in Korea.<br />
Everyone here is so kind.<br />
But you are the kindest of them all.<br />
Because you have married me..."<br />
<br />
After a brief moment of confusion, Kang-jae remembers the time when he went through a fake marriage for a few bucks.<br />
The warmth Kang-jae was feeling from the letter takes him into unfamiliar territory... <br />
<br />
