My Annoying Brother (2017)

Official Trailer

Go Doo-young (Do Kyung-soo) is a talented and promising national Judo athlete who lost his sight permanently due to an impact during a competition. His half-brother Go Doo-shik (Jo Jung-suk), who was in prison at the time, took advantage of this, using the excuse of wanting to take care of his younger brother to ask for an early release from prison. Previously, when Doo-shik's mother died, his father married a new wife and gave birth to Doo-young. Although he was treated well by his stepmother, when the neighbors revealed that his stepmother was the nurse who had taken care of his mother before, Doo-shik could not accept it and left home. When Doo-young was 18 years old, both of his parents died in an accident, and he had to attend the funeral alone.

Doo-shik comes home from prison while Doo-young is still not stable and accepting the misfortune of blindness. Doo-young locks himself in his room but Doo-shik doesn't really care about his younger brother. Doo-young himself was also upset with his brother's appearance, so he once called the support center. Doo-shik was now afraid of being sent back to prison, so he behaved more reasonably.

Lee Soo-hyun (Park Shin-hye) is Doo-young's coach. She always cares about him and encourages him to continue practicing Judo to participate in the Paralympics, but Doo-young always refuses. While taking care of his younger brother, Doo-shik and him grew closer and closer. Doo-shik helps his younger brother change the way he dresses, go out to eat, and shop. At this moment, Doo-shik discovered he had cancer and only had three months to live. He encouraged and even pushed his younger brother to return to practicing Judo. Doo-shik personally repaired the house, bought food, and prepared everything so that when he left, there would be no one to take care of his younger brother.

The time for Doo-young to go to Brazil to compete came, Doo-shik lied that he was going to Busan to work. During his time in Brazil, Doo-young often called him back. Even though he was struggling with pain, Doo-shik still tried to act normal on the phone. Doo-young easily entered the final, but before the final, he was tense and scared because he was still haunted by the previous accident. Soo-hyun revealed his brother's illness to hope he would do his best. Doo-young found out what happened and was extremely miserable. He wanted to return to Korea immediately, but Soo-hyun encouraged him to stay and compete. At the beginning of the match, he did not play well, but remembering the memories of his brother gave him strength to play excellently and win the gold medal. Meanwhile in Korea, in the hospital, Doo-shik also watched his brother's match via laptop. At the end of the movie, Doo-shik passes away, Doo-young lives stronger and more independent.
