Poor Communication Kills | |
Decision to Leave / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: The inability for all parties to understand each other does more damage to their lives than anything else. In particular, Hae-joon's refusal to trust Seo-rae in the second half of the film eventually results in her probable suicide. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
Decision to Leave / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: Hae-joon is entirely devoted to his detective work. As such, he seems incapable of understanding love when it's tied to crime. Until Seo-rae spells it out for him, he doesn't see that one of his suspects commits murder and evades the law out of love for his girlfriend. Hae-joon develops a crush on Seo-rae, but he understandably becomes cold after he finds her guilty of murder. When he lets Seo-rae go free and allows her to destroy evidence, he doesn't realize why she would interpret this as an act of love. | |

Decision to Leave / int_33029735 | comment |
Dies Wide Open: Hae-joon keeps many pictures of unsolved cases. Several of them involve people who were found dead with they eyes open, and that looks disturbing. | |

Downer Ending | |
Decision to Leave / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Seo-rae buries herself in the beach and lets the tide bury her, leaving behind a distraught Hae-joon who attempts to find her fail (not knowing she is buried underneath the sand) and whose depression is most likely uncured. | |

Wet Blanket Wife | |
Decision to Leave / int_53968093 | comment |
Wet Blanket Wife: Deconstructed. Jung-Ah is often nagging her husband and seems to spend more time reciting health facts than providing real emotional support. But she displays surprising insight when she cries and admits she thinks Hae-joon thrives around murder cases. Throughout the film, she seems to be fighting an uphill battle against Hae-joon's depression and unwillingness to be honest with her. By the finale, she's lost enough faith in him to believe he might be a murderer, and makes her decision to leave. | |

Femme Fatale | |
Decision to Leave / int_90b66e22 | comment |
Femme Fatale: Played with, along with Film Noir. Seo-rae is manipulating Hae-joon to cover her own tracks. But she genuinely falls In Love with the Mark and is devastated when Hae-joon chooses to leave her. By the end of the film, she's so broken by how her manipulations have ruined their relationship, she's Driven to Suicide while desperately hoping her attempt can connect her to Hae-joon again. | |

Decision to Leave / int_95b875b1 | comment |
Not Me This Time: Played with. Hae-joon, knowing that Seo-rae killed her first husband, immediately assumes she killed her second, but Seo-rae insists that she's innocent. It turns out that Husband #2 was a Ponzi schemer and was killed by "Slappy", an investor's son, bent on revenge—but then we learn that while Seo-rae didn't kill her husband she did orchestrate events so that Slappy would kill her husband. | |

Samus Is a Girl: Inverted. Jung-Ah's oft-mentioned coworker June is revealed to be a man, and heavily implied to be building a new relationship with Hae-joon's wife with their new separation. | |

Language Barrier: Seo-rae speaks Korean quite well, but sometimes she struggles with some word. When she has to say something difficult or important she often speaks Chinese and uses her phone to translate. | |

Great Detective | |
Decision to Leave / int_f180486d | comment |
Great Detective: Hae-joon is very good at investigating, and quite efficient at catching criminals. Unlike a Hardboiled Detective he is never cynical (however he is quite hardboiled, as well as Seo-rae). He is also a hard worker, and his insomnia makes him work both day and night. | |

Dead Sparks: Hae-joon and Jung-An have a "weekend" marriage, living in separate cities and only spending time together when they're free from work. Even finally choosing to live together doesn't help, as Hae-joon's lying and depressive tendencies push her away. | |
