A good movie about a nice man turned bad

**spoiler**. This is a simple story that has some great acting in it. One of those movies where at the end, you just say, 'woah'. This is all I recall about the movie, and it has been about 4 years since I last saw it. I remember being able to empathize with the main character. And from the viewpoint of the husband, it is a happy ending. He got rid of the wife who betrayed him and kept his baby whom he loved. I was glad he 'got away'...you are suppose to be. He cries at the end out of happiness that he still has his baby. He was a good guy, totally not appreciated, follows all the rules, does all his duties, is kind to others, especially his wife. He's a nice guy, who's finishing last. I think the whole scene with his wife with her lover on his bed while he was under the bed just simply traumatized his. He went overboard. He went down the 'other' darker path. Face it folks, if he instead decided to not get 'bloody' and instead, go to court, divorce and fight over the child for the rest of his life, like most people do, then we wouldn't have a movie would we? Anyways, if want to see Disney-like happy Korean movies there's plenty of them. Would you go see one? Go then, you can see one at anytime. Here's a little movie that went the other way, and this is why it's different.
