Lee Taewon was surprised by Number 3 (1997), Song Neunghan’s amazing debut film, and recruited Song to Taehung Pictures. He proved his talent with his Fin De Siecle where he describes with dynamism and quick tempo the consumption-dominated society that Korea has entered into in the 1990s and depicts the desperation of the end of the century by following the figures who symbolize the era. At the end of the century, the time of Dooseop the scriptwriter in Moratorium, So-ryong who gets paid for sex with the CEO of a pachinko parlor in Amorality, and Sangwoo, a college teacher who criticizes the moral hazard of the former generation in Moral Hazard, doesn’t get better in Y2K epilogue. Dooseop’s work in the film is a criticism against the Korean film industry where melodramas were the mainstream and a prediction for the rise of the thriller genre in the 21st century.
