这是《七号房的礼物》（Goodbye Mr. Loser）在美国语境下的剧情介绍：
剧情简介 (American Context):
Imagine a world where a man's biggest fear isn't crime or failure, but the simple, terrifying thought of losing his child. This is the story of Hyun-soo (played by Hyun Bin), a man in his late 30s who lives in hiding, constantly on the run from a past he desperately wants to forget. He's terrified of getting caught and being sent to prison, especially because he has a young daughter, Moo-yi (played by IU).
Moo-yi is an incredibly bright and cheerful child, but Hyun-soo is convinced that life behind bars will shatter her innocence and happiness. He lives in constant fear, trying to protect her at all costs, even though he struggles to provide a stable life for her.
Fate brings Hyun-soo into a unique situation when he gets involved with a reclusive, eccentric elderly man, Jae-soo (played by Jo In-sung), who lives in a remote house often referred to as "Room 7." Jae-soo is a former famous musician, now seemingly disconnected from the world, but possesses a kind heart and a surprising understanding of Hyun-soo's predicament.
Hyun-soo agrees to a "swap" – he will live with Jae-soo and take care of him, while Jae-soo will pretend to be the father to Moo-yi, giving Hyun-soo the chance to live a relatively normal life with his daughter for a few weeks. He believes this is his only way to keep Moo-yi safe and happy, at least for a little while.
During their time together, Hyun-soo and Jae-soo form an unlikely and heartwarming bond. Hyun-soo begins to see the world differently, finding joy and companionship he thought were lost. He starts to heal from his past trauma and reconnects with his own potential. Meanwhile, Moo-yi forms a deep, genuine connection with "Grandpa Jae-soo," who, despite his oddities, becomes a loving and supportive figure in her life.
The film explores themes of fear, redemption, the power of love, and the resilience of the human spirit. It's a story about second chances, the unconditional love between a father and daughter, and the idea that even those hiding from their pasts can find a way to embrace the present and build a better future, if given the chance.
(Note: The original South Korean title, "Goodbye Mr. Loser," refers to Hyun-soo's internal monologue about needing to say goodbye to the "Mr. Loser" version of himself that his past mistakes have made him. The US release might use different marketing titles, but the core story remains the same.)
