A Better Tomorrow

Audience emotional responses are heavily influenced by the film's 'Drama' and 'Crime' genres, leading to a strong presence of **Sadness**, **Anxiety**, and **Empathy**. The narrative deeply explores themes of **Guilt** (Hyuk's burden from abandoning his brother and family), **Melancholy** (the somber tone of past trauma and broken bonds), and **Anger** (Chul's resentment and the harshness of the criminal world). **Anticipation** and **Excitement** are generated by the 'Action' elements, particularly the high-stakes 'one last gig' and the climactic confrontation between the estranged brothers. While underlying **Love** for family and a glimmer of **Hope** for reconciliation exist, the overall experience is one of intense emotional tension and a poignant exploration of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption.
