The Man from the Equator (2012)

In the heart of high school, an unlikely camaraderie blossoms between Jang-il (Siwan), the diligent scholar and Sun-woo (Lee Hyun-woo), the carefree misfit. Both grapple with the harsh reality of poverty, yet their spirits remain unbroken. Their lives intertwine further through their fathers' connections to a ruthless tycoon who orchestrates a deadly conspiracy, pushing Jang-il's father into committing a heinous crime against Sun-woo's father. This tragic sequence of events sends shockwaves through their friendship, culminating in a shocking betrayal that leaves Sun-woo blind, comatose and thirsting for revenge. As the sands of time slip through, their paths cross again thirteen years later. Now, Jang-il (Lee Joon-hyuk), a prosecutor, is tormented by the ghosts of his past, while Sun-woo (Uhm Tae-woong) has transformed into the dynamic CEO of Royal Tree, an investment trust company, with a cold-blooded plan for vengeance. Their lives are inextricably linked not only by their shared past but also by the women they love - Ji-won (Lee Bo-young), a compassionate volunteer for the visually impaired who now orchestrates VIP events at a luxury hotel, and Soo-mi (Im Jung-eun), an artistic genius specializing in hyper-realism painting. As Jang-il and Sun-woo square off in a bitter battle of retribution, the veil of deception unravels, revealing the shocking truths, deep-seated crimes, and haunting secrets from their past.
