Other name: 우리형, Uri Hyeong

Description:

The family drama movie My Brother is a poignant story narrated by a younger brother who grew up in the shadow of his cleft-lipped older sibling. After their father abandoned the family due to the older son's disfigurement, leaving behind only an old camera, their doting mother showered the eldest with endless attention. This unequal treatment sparked lifelong jealousy and resentment in the narrator. As they grow up, their rivalry peaks when the narrator plagiarizes his brother's love poetry to win over the girl they both love. Despite constant abuse, the patient older brother heads to medical school, while the bitter narrator spirals, becoming a debt collector alienated from his mother, brother, and society. Framed by the legacy of their father’s camera, this emotional story follows the narrator's painful journey of envy. Only when his own misdeeds come back to haunt him does he finally find redemption and the strength to call his sibling his brother.
