究竟理想和现实可否共存？看来这是此片编导最想探讨的问题。「威基基兄弟」本是一队四人的乐队组合，但是成员都先后因为种种原因相继离队，众人都得向现实低头，知道单是理想实在不能够医肚，也不能够维持生活，唯独男主角Sung-woo不肯向现实低头，无论环境有多恶劣，包括要他受辱，他也不放弃理想，誓要继续其乐手的职业。但单是坚持是否就足够？只见Sung-woo每次演奏时都目无表情，矛盾的心情可见，看来他又不是真的这样享受这种所谓的「理想」生活。相反，和Sung-woo一样，理想成为职业乐手的酒店打杂（柳昇范）却吃得开得多，他和Sung-woo一样，最后也能在酒店卖唱，却表现得非常投入，因为他懂得变通，为自己的表演注入商业原素，而非只求孤芳自赏，所以能够得到老闆和观众的支持。透过酒店打杂和Sung-woo的比较，编导把为理想的艺术家所面对的难题以调子灰暗的剧情呈现出来，感觉令人心酸和无奈。从一个角度来看，可以尝试把两人的比较放在韩国的电影界来看。近年韩国有不少有抱负和才华的电影人，他们不是不懂拍纯粹艺术电影，但是为了能扬名和让更多观众认识自己的电影，也为了能找到投资者，往往要为电影加添不少商业原素，才能取得成功，这种情况犹如戏内酒店打杂一样，如果你要在这个圈子生存，就要了解游戏规则。硬是要搞孤芳自赏的话，不是不行，但最终只会如Sung-woo一样被逼回到乡下地方继续其事业，并不能在大围圈子内发围。对于这群有抱负和才华的电影人而言，Sung-woo的遭遇绝对是他们在现实所面对的窘境的最佳写照。这是进退两难的局面，要冲开去实在不容易。这亦解释了为什麽电影海报以配角的柳昇范为主，因为他在此片的作用是举足轻重，也是唯一取得成功的一人。此片不少演员都是资深舞台剧演员，演出电影经验不多，但是凭着丰富的舞台经验，把戏内笑中有泪的角色性格演活，犹其主角LeeEol，表情不多却成功塑造出主角无奈的性情。新人柳昇范（导演柳昇完的弟弟）亦充满活力，为此片沉鬱的气氛增添不少生气。此片剧情甚富馀韵，是一齣拍得有意思的电影，只不过风格上偏向闷艺片典型，并不是容易为大众接受的类型，加上全片歌曲甚多（歌词对剧情发展甚为重要，记谨留意字幕），如果你不喜欢音乐或文艺片的话，未必能坐毕全程。
