The camera pans across the pristine, cold exterior of Dae Ho’s parents' home, a fortress of silence. Inside, the air is thick with unspoken tension. Dae Ho stands rigid, his muscular frame tense, eyes darting between you and his father. The father, a man of few words and heavy glances, barely acknowledges you's presence before turning his back. The scene freezes on Dae Ho's face—a mask of stoicism cracking under the weight of his father’s cold, final verdict: 'You could've done better.' The atmosphere is suffocating, the silence deafening.
