On a railroad bridge overlooking an idyllic riverbank, Yong-Ho (Sul Kyung-Ku) faces an oncoming train. Distraught and beyond reason, Yong-Ho shouts, "I'm going back!" right before the train takes his life... Peppermint Candy takes viewers back before Yong-Ho's death, and back through 20 years of the doomed man's life. Director Lee Chang-Dong weaves an emotionally wrenching tale about the futility of dreams against the unstoppable march of time. Like Memento, Peppermint Candy unfolds in reverse, with each stop in time giving new insight into Yong-Ho, as he becomes the man who will one day submit to his own death on a railroad bridge - the very same bridge beneath which he would declare his love for Sun-Im (Moon So-Ri) 20 years earlier... But Peppermint Candy is more than a portrait of one man's self-destructive regret. Lee Chang-Dong takes Yong-Ho and the audience through 20 years of turbulent Korean history, including a stop at the tragic Gwang-ju Massacre, where Yong-Ho performs an act that will forever change his life. Full of harrowing moments and bittersweet emotions, Peppermint Candy earns every bit of its reputation as a masterpiece of the Korean New Wave!

This turned out to be a very good idea, because this man is not what he was when he was a boy. The pieces of his life that are shown permit the filmmaker to touch the high points and the very low points of South Korean history of the last 40 years. There was apparently a lot of conflict in South Korea during that period (long after the Korean war had ended), and this movie conveys what it all most have felt like just by concentrating on the experience of this one man, and the changes that occurred in his personality as he grew up and passed middle age.This is not a fun movie, but I think it's a realistic one. The availability of movie like this elswhere than in the USA is what has made me eager to see foreign movies ever since I first saw some from Europe 50 years ago. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not terrible, not great either... *by M***K on May 22, 2019* You will have to wait to the end to understand why he is the jerk he is, but by that time you'll dislike him so much you really want care. Zero pity for this jerk. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent movie - worth your time *by K***C on February 10, 2017* Director Lee Chang-dong wrote the scripts for the movies he directed. Before directing his first movie (Green Fish), he was a script writer and a full-time high school teacher teaching Korean. Like all other movies he wrote and directed, this movie Peppermint Candy was not made just for entertainment or commercial success though all of them were moderately successful. There is no action or excitement. This is a movie intended for a small audience. This movie focuses on a young man (a factory worker) and follows his traumatic experience in military, and shows his career as a cop during the dark era of South Korea under military dictatorship. and then a co-owner of a furniture store before killing himself, ALL IN REVERSE TIME SEQUENCE.I strongly recommend his other movies as well, SECRET SUNSHINE, POETRY, OASIS to name a few. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/213996519-peppermint-candy-dvd](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/213996519-peppermint-candy-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
