Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })3-Iron (빈집 / Bin-jip, "Empty House") is a 2004 film from Korea directed by Kim Ki Duk.Tae-suk is a young man who apparently has a menial job hanging advertising fliers on doorknobs. He uses his job as a means of indulging his hobby. Tae-suk circles back to the houses where he hangs fliers, and, if the fliers are still on the doorknobs and thus indicating that no one has come home, he breaks in. He isn't a thief; apart from eating and drinking out of fridges and liquor cabinets, he never takes anything from the places he enters. He simply takes selfies, enjoys himself for a while, and then leaves.One day he breaks into a house that, it turns out, isn't empty. Inside the house is Sun-hwa, a former model who is married to a man that abuses her—when Tae-suk sees Sun-hwa, she has a battered face and a split lip. Tae-suk leaves, but feels compelled to come back. He arrives just as Sun-hwa's monstrous husband Min-gyu seems about to rape her. Despite just having met her moments before, Tae-suk rescues Sun-hwa from her horrible husband. She then joins him in his life of breaking and entering.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chekhov's Gun: Tae-suk's habit of taking selfies in the houses he breaks into, usually posing next to family portraits. After he and Sun-hwa are arrested, this allows the police to trace every break-in he's made.

Death Glare: Min-gyu, a man filled with rage, has a habit of doing this. He does this early in the film, before he even knows who Tae-suk is, because Tae-suk's motorcycle is parked in front of his garage.

Chekhov's Skill: Tae-suk and Sun-hwa break into the home of a boxer, as shown by the boxing gloves hanging and the big picture of the man in boxing gear. Unfortunately for Tae-suk that man comes home, catches them, puts on his gloves, and gives Tae-suk a beating.

Conscience Makes You Go Back: Tae-suk's first reaction when he realizes that a woman is in the house is to make a quick exit. But he has seen Sun-hwa's battered face. He winds up doing a U-turn and going back and rescuing her from her husband.
