This becomes a big problem for him one day when his net gets caught in the engine of his little fishing boat, the engine stalls out, and the current winds up taking him across the border. Chul-woo is stuck in some rushes, still trying to start his engine, when he is discovered by South Korean authorities.He is taken to a detention center. There, he makes friends with the guard assigned to him, agent Jin-woo. Unfortunately for Nam he is less lucky with the inspector who interrogates him. The South Korean intelligence officer, who is not named, is absolutely convinced that Chul-woo is a spy. The inspector tortures Chul-woo, who discovers that maybe North and South Korea aren't as different as people are led to believe.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })No connection to Sandra Bullock thriller The Net. | |

Downer Ending: Chul-woo, who's finally made it back to the North, goes out to cast nets again only to be told that he's not allowed on the river anymore. He snaps, screams that the boat is the only way he can provide for his family, and goes out fishing anyway. The North Korean guards shoot and kill him. | |
