The film continues the plot of the previous film that ended tragically due to Dong-soo's death, telling the unfinished story of Jun-suk, who was released from prison after 17 years, and met Dong-soo's son Sung-hoon.
The gang leader Junshuo (played by Liu Wuxing) was imprisoned for allegedly killing his friend Dongzhu. After 17 years, he was released from prison and felt out of place in a new era where people had changed. At this time, the leader of the organization has also become Enki (played by Zheng Haobin). In order to regain the organization established by his father Zhezhu (played by Zhu Jinmo), Junshuo began to reorganize his own power. Chengxun (played by Kim Woo-bin), a young man he met in prison, respected Junshuo like a father and became his right-hand man.
Sung Hoon has never met his biological father and experienced a very unfortunate childhood. He came to Busan with his father-like Junshuo, hoping to achieve a career. One day, Enki came to look for Junshuo and told Chengxun about Junshuo's murder of his father Dongshu. The latter immediately fell into chaos, and a bloody gang fight was about to break out.
Evaluation of "Friends":
"Friends" tells the story of gang friendship, loyalty, and betrayal, while "Friends 2" focuses on people facing various challenges. The most authentic reactions and feelings in all aspects of life reveal the most fundamental side of people.
If "Friends" is a traditional Hollywood or Hong Kong gangster movie routine, the selling point of "Friends 2" is that it combines Hollywood style and Korean-style works. There is no shortage of descriptions of gangster life in the film. The key "emotional" description is the most basic and most touching charm of Korean movies.
