My Mister

Whether it's a building or a person, it's a battle between external and internal forces. If your internal strength is strong, you endure. This is a profound word of comfort spoken by the protagonist Park Dong-hoon, a structural engineer, to Ji-an, who lives carrying the weight of life alone in a cold reality. It means that when swayed by the 'external forces' of trials and wounds inflicted by the world, what truly matters is to firmly cultivate your own 'internal strength' to withstand them. It's a memorable scene that reminds modern people, exhausted by the pressures of reality, that taking care of oneself is the true strength to protect one's life.
