At the start, Soo Myung feared Seung Min due to his reckless actions and behavior. Their 2 other room mates Kim Yong (Kim Jong Tae) and Man Shik (Kim Ki Cheon) are adorable as ever. Though they are elderly people but they are friendly and nice towards them. Man Shik loves to ride behind people's back since he misses his horse. Seung Min often has to piggy back him around but when he ends up in detention rooms, Soo Myung has been taking the responsibility.
Attendant and nurse Choi (played by Yoo Oh Seong) is a better listener in the center. He knows what Seung Min is going through. One of the depressed cleaners in the center doesn't understand such a intelligent student like Soo Myung would end up in there. Jeombak bullies everyone but he gets whacked up by Seung Min for beating Soo Myung around. One night Seung Min was suffering from high fever and chills. Jeombak on duty for the night was busy playing games and ignoring the warning calls on the board. Man Shik, Kim Yong and Soo Myung had to break Nurse Choi's bedroom window to call for help.
From there, Soo Myung learned that Seung Min is not insane. He's suffering from a deteriorating eye disease which is turning him blind in no time. That's why Seung Min is hoping to get out from the center to do paragliding at Annapurna. He mentioned it was so beautiful as if he felt he could touch the sky though the high pressure might ruin his eyesight. Soo Myung and Depressed Cleaner plans to get Seung Min out from the place before it's too late. Seung Min and Soo Myung tried to escape in a water boat however the two were captured again. Soo Myung's father passed away and his last will is to have him locked up in there forever. He was very sad and his room mates comforted him.
In fact the two guys disappeared in no time but Jeombak caught up with them but with Soo Myung's quick wit and overcoming his fear on scissors, he managed to get rid of Jeombak.
Seung Min did his paragliding over the hills and flew far away while bidding farewell to Soo Myung. 4 years later, Soo Myung was having his re-assessment for his health at the institution whereby he tells the story. The panel of people were impressed how matured Soo Myung has become and he even understands the reasons his father left him there after his trauma witnessing his mother killed herself with a pair of scissors. They asked if he believed his room mate Seung Min is dead but Soo Myung thinks he is somewhere paragliding and only he himself knows if he's dead or alive.
Whenever I see the patients being beaten and ill-treated by the nurses and guards at the ward, I feel for them. I don't know if this happens in real life but it's heart breaking.
Lee Min Ki has played a wonderful part as the fiery hot tempered Seung Min who is funny at times and pitiful in his role. He has brought out the real true friendship when he refused to leave the place without Soo Myung. As for Yeo Jin Goo, this boy can play almost any role he is offered. Love him bits though his character is rather tame and quiet.

I was not happy seeinbg the film "Shoot Me in The Heart. If I am to rate this film I'll give it zero not even 1. Why? Because I only sense negativities on the film. Generally, the film has no heart at all. Roles depicted are not different from savage animals. There was only a culture of violence. If you would think that "friendship" is the core value of this film, I think NOT. "Remorse of conscience" should have been the focus and must have been depicted to leave a positive moral lesson.
