Skip forwards a few years and he and his wife are in a market where they encounter "Seo-rae" and her brand new husband - a man on the run from folks he owes a great deal of money to.

However, momentum is lost with the repetitive, lengthy second half in which the same narrative points are approached without the same impact. …
