This is the thread where we figure out the plot to Ga-In's IRREVERSIBLE
Complicated Korean Video Friday resumes today with Ga-In's "Irreversible."
I find the video profound, though the message - what the man's trying to convey to Ga-In - would be a platitude if reduced to a sentence or a maxim. In fact, the guy in the video tried to tell her, but she didn't take in the lesson 'til she'd lived through the consequences ( Read more... )

He's a criminal, a gangster of some sort, presumably successful, organized crime. He thinks she'll be better off with him out of her life, probably.
The Australian woman: does she own the store? Is she a madam? A pimp? Is Ga-In an employee? A subservient thief? A prostitute? Anyhow, Ga-In is cowed and dependent.
The man rescues Ga-In, injuring or killing the Australian woman in doing so. Gets back the pendant the woman had ripped from Ga-In's neck.
Ga-In transfers her dependence to him, wants to be utterly devoted.
After she jumps, sees the pendant in his hand, she realizes he was trying to act on her behalf. The flashback is her working her way to this conclusion.
Little of this is shown and none of it is stated, except for one cryptic line near the end.
I didn't figure this story out on my own. Read the YouTube comments, where people speculated.
Ga-In running, dropping the suitcase, the moolah, just running, chasing, moving. Then at the end, Ga-In sitting, remembering.
