Notes

Korean movie title "Busan" has two meanings :
1. "Busan" refers to the port city of Busan, South Korea, which is the backdrop for the movie.
2. The Chinese character "Bu" (父) means literally "father," while "san" means mountain - or collectively "father mountain".

Park Chohwa Aug 24 2014 8:21 pm A heartbreaking story of a 16-year old sick boy -Yoo Seung Ho at 16 before his voice changed XD- who has two fathers -both are good for nothing-. If I mention any other detail I'll be spoiling it for you. I cried throughout the film. It's a great one. Prepare a pack of tissues though.
