A 29-year-old working man, who had not achieved much success, unexpectedly turned into a mutant with a fish head and a human body after rashly participating in a drug trial. Dreaming of becoming a fresh graduate who reports the truth and exposes injustice, I was assigned to investigate the authenticity of the fishman, which unexpectedly sparked a social unrest that shocked the whole country.

But under the manipulation of large enterprises and the media, the public opinion trend has reversed once again? . Director Kwon Oh-gwang boldly exposes the ugly side of contemporary society, satirizes the media's deification and demonization of strange phenomena, carefully explores the division and opposition among the people who start to dance at the crow of the rooster, and packages the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of human nature with absurd fables. "Fish Man's Lament" is like a magic mirror, reflecting the current chaotic and distorted society, and capturing the transformation of capitalism with an unafraid eye. Lee Kwang-soo, who rose to fame through the well-known South Korean variety show "Running Man", takes on the lead role for the first time and vividly portrays a bewildered generation facing difficulties.[Collapse]
