The example contradicts itself and contains Weasel Words.


* DamselScrappy: Gong-gil could be construed as this. His defining character trait is [[ExtremeDoormat meekness]] and Jang-saeng spends most of the time trying to protect him from being preyed on or threatened by other men, which [[NonActionGuy he himself]] [[TheLoad does nothing about]]. On the other hand, he's probably the most compelling character in the movie and gets off as being an extremely passive {{Woobie}}.

* TearJerker:
** The king uses hand puppets to reenact his younger self pleading with his father for information about his MissingMom.
** Gong-gil [[spoiler:cuts himself and nearly bleeds out]] while "backstage" during another puppet show.

* TheWoobie: Gong-gil. Jaeng-sang is an IronWoobie by the end of the film, still retaining his HeroicSpirit.

* HoYay: Between being willing to kill and be killed for one another, to their [[spoiler: [[DrivenToSuicide mutual suicide]]]], Jang-saeng and Gong-gil definitely give off the vibe of being more than just buddies. Contrast with Gong-gil and the King, whose relationship, though not based on reciprocal affection, is much more heavily implied.
