I like someone... and I can't tell anyone, so I lie. Because then they'll know I can never be happy.

Again and again. As if under a spell or hypnotized... she couldn't escape. She always came back.

“Of all my films, this film features the most natural environment. And although this device is gone from the film now, until the very last stage of editing, we actually divided the story into two chapters. Chapter One was titled ‘Mountain’ and Chapter Two was titled ‘The Ocean’—that’s how important these two environments are, the mountain and the ocean. The stories are quite segregated depending on which environments they happen in, and the personalities are starkly different as well. In the film, the two characters quote a line from Confucius, where they say that kind people like the mountains and wise people like the ocean, and they bond over their affinity for the ocean and their dislike for the mountain.” — Park Chan-wook for Deadline.
