Hae-joon interrogates Seo-rae, and while observing her on stakeout, feels himself slowly developing an interest in her. Meanwhile the difficult-to-read Seo-rae, despite being suspected of a crime, acts boldly toward Hae-joon. A suspect who is hiding her true feelings. A detective who suspects and desires his suspect. Their Decision to Leave.

Critic Reviews:

• ” Decision to Leave is a mesmerizing mystery to fixate on. “ – Eric Marchen (Rogers TV)

• ” One of the year’s most tantalizing films. “ – Kristian M. Lin (Fort Worth Weekly)

• ” Come for the mystery, but stay for Park’s dazzlingly delirious web of obsession and lies that paints a haunting portrait of a policeman’s sin­gular, self-destructive focus on something unsolvable ultimately has nothing to do with the crime. “ – Mattie Lucas (From the Front Row)
