* ValuesDissonance: Some western viewers were surprised at how casually Hae-mi got and discussed having plastic surgery, despite not coming from much money. Plastic surgery is much more common in South Korea, which has the highest per capita amount of procedures, in contrast to the United States, where it's ordinarily reserved for the wealthy and tends to still carry the stigma of only being for the vain.

* SlowPacedBeginning: This film lasts nearly two and a half hours, Ben's conversation about burning greenhouses doesn't happen until the halfway point, and not much seems to happen before then. There are some ChekhovsGun moments, but they are only important with the benefit of hindsight

Though the ending is left ambiguous, it's still highly, highly implied that he enjoys luring in women he views as "useless" in society, entertaining them and spoiling them with gifts and trips, showing them off as an amusement to his friends, and draining their credit card funds so that he continue his work-free, lavish lifestyle before murdering them -- which he views as not only entertaining and fulfilling, but something that the victims secretly want themselves.]]
