Friend, Our Legend is a South Korean television series starring Hyun Bin, which aired on MBC in 2009. The show is a remake of the 2001 hit movie, Friend, which was known for its intricate portrayal of the friendship between four boys. The storyline of the show follows the story of four friends, Dong-su, Joon-seok, Sang-taek, and Jung-ho, who came from a poor and violent neighborhood of Busan during the 1970s. Their friendship is put to the test as they become involved in a life of crime to escape poverty and oppression. Tragedy strikes, causing the group to disband and pursue their own paths in life.

The show begins with the main character, Dong-su, returning to his hometown after serving three years in prison for a crime committed by his former friends. Despite the betrayal, he still feels loyalty towards them and seeks to reconcile their friendship. However, he finds that his friends are now living separate lives, and they have all changed in their own way.

Dong-su discovers that Joon-seok has become a respected prosecutor and is investigating the crime syndicate that controls their hometown. Sang-taek is running his own restaurant and is married to the love of his life, while Jung-ho has become a ruthless gangster struggling to maintain his power as an underling for the same crime syndicate.

As Dong-su tries to reconnect with his old friends, he quickly learns that their lives have been shaped by their past. Conflicts emerge between them, and even though they want to be friends again, their ties to the criminal world serve as a constant obstacle. Meanwhile, the crime syndicate that they once served hovers ominously, threatening their lives and the stability of their hometown.

The drama is a poignant story of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. It explores the gritty reality of a poverty-stricken Busan, where crime and razor gangs ruled the streets. The show gives an insight into the Korean culture during the 1970s and 1980s, and it depicts the challenges faced by the lower-class communities during that era.

Hyun Bin delivers a powerful performance playing the role of Dong-su, a genuine individual who is forced to face his past and come to terms with the consequences of his choices. The rest of the cast, which includes actors Kim Min-joon, Seo Do-young, and Lee Si-eon, also gives excellent performances, bringing an air of realism to the characters they portray.

One unique feature of the show is its unconventional storytelling method. While it is a 20-episode series, it moves at an unhurried pace, focusing on character development and thematic elements rather than action and thrills. The show takes time to explore each character's backstory, highlighting their motivations, and providing depth to their interactions.

Overall, Friend, Our Legend is a must-watch for anyone who loves a good drama. It explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal with great pathos, and the performances by the cast are remarkable. The show also provides a glimpse into the Korean culture of the past, making it an excellent choice for anyone interested in learning more about Korea's history.
