This is one of my favorite scenes from The Merciless and I would like to analyze it because it conveys many messages that the Director wants to give us (and I, as a student of art history, could not resist). I hope you like it ^^

Colors:

(There are different colors in this scene that are important)

Green: is seen a lot in this movie and it always symbolizes the mafias world that are involved. It always appears in scenes of corruption and perversion, and in this scene it symbolizes the corruption that Jaeho has committed on the life of Hyunsoo's mother.

Blue: Jaeho is dressed in a blue suit, which is weird since he always wears suits with orange colors (since orange is the color that symbolizes Jaeho) (I will explain this later*)

Non-verbal language:

(The features and postures of the two characters on scene)

Hyunsoo: he is sitting backwards, with a tired, exhausted expression and a lost look, he is thinking, he is overthinking, at the same time he is seen with a look of "disbelief" at what he just found out of the man he said he really trusted.

Jaeho: on the contrary, he is sitting leaning forward, with his arms on the table and smiling, that is the worst, he is smiling, but it is a mocking one, a merciless one (I will also explain this in more depth later*)

More details*:

(Now I will give more details on the data that I have explained but in more depth)

Why is Jaeho dressed in a blue suit?: simple, because, actually, in this scene there are not two characters, but only Hyunsoo. I mean, that the color that symbolizes Hyunsoo is blue, so if Jaeho is dressed in blue it is because he is only a creation of the hurt and broken mind of Hyunsoo, at that moment.

Why is Jaeho smiling like that at Hyunsoo?: well, as I just said, it's Hyunsoo's imagination (I'm not saying that Jaeho isn't horrible in his own right), so Hyunsoo imagines Jaeho now like this, ruthless, cruel, etc. And this is after Jaeho having just told at Hyunsoo the Jaeho's famous phrase: "don't trust people, but circumstances", that's like even more of a mockery of the trust Hyunsoo had on Jaeho. This whole scene is self-inflicted harm to Hyunsoo himself.

That's all the analysis of this scene from the movie The Merciless, directed by Byun Sung-hyun. Thank you very much for reading, hugs and kisses! ♡

(I accept criticism and more versions about this scene and the movie in general, thanks ^^)

The Merciless Timeline

@inashoe and I have been talking lately and it got me thinking about The Merciless timeline.

First, we have to remember that the movie has flashbacks to pre-prison (probably 2013-2014) and the main timeline past the prison, which happens in 2016-2017 (I'm leaning more towards 2017).

I assume Hyunsoo was born in 1990. He is a rookie cop, even if he spent some time working for Golden Cranes. I would say he was around 23-24 before being sent to prison. He would be around 27 when he's out.

Jaeho could have been born around 1970, because between Hyunsoo and him is 20 years, more or less. I'm basing it on what he said to Hyunsoo:

"Even the boss I dedicated 20 years to is trying to backstab me with a smile on his face." "I got started here at your age. Do you know how many have betrayed me in those years?"

His parents died when he was 12 (so around 1982?) and he ended up in an orphanage. When he was a teenager, he began selling drugs. According to the priest in prison:

"Han started by dealing meth in his teens".

Then around 1997, he began working for Ko Byungchul. Once again:

"Even the boss I dedicated 20 years to is trying to backstab me with a smile on his face."

That would make him 27 then, so kind of old, but it also makes sense that first Jaeho would have to go to the military and then work with Byunggap on smaller illegal things to prove himself). He moved to Busan with Ko in 2008, at age 38. He could be around 43 when he was sent to prison and then 47 when he was released.

Now, in a police meeting, before Chun send Hyunsoo to prison, it is said that Ko Byungchul aka Chairman Ko is 52, so he was born in 1962, making him 8 years older than Jaeho. He used to provide strippers for a Russian bar in Seoul before he partnered up with Vladivostok's Gegard mob. In 2008 he relocated to Busan and founded Oceane/Oceans Trading, an aquatic importer.

Ko Byunggap is likely to be Jaeho's age (or really, really close) because he calls Jaeho '친구' (chingu). He's also Chairman Ko's nephew, which is interesting because according to my math, Ko Byungchul was 8 when Ko Byunggap was born. Byunggap mentions that it was his uncle who gave him up for an orphanage, which means that Byungchul had to be an adult then. So my lose theory is that Byunggap could be around 15 then when his parents died (that would make Byungchul 23). Byungchul could have given Byunggap up so he wouldn't get in his way.

That means that Byunggap's father was Byungchul's older brother and Ko brothers could have 10-year age difference because Byunggap's dad should have been at least 18 when he had him (I know he could be younger but let's go with the legal age).

What's interesting, although Byungchul calls Byunggap nephew, they both have 'Byung' in their names and that makes me wonder because in Korea children from the same generation and the same family can have a syllable in common. Maybe they are cousins? Because I don't remember Byunggap naming Byunggap's father as his brother. But this is just a small speculation because I don't know if '조카' literally means 'brother's son' or simply 'blood relative'. I will stick to Bynggap's dad being Byungchul's older brother.

The only person whose age we actually know for sure is Hyunsoo's mom, Jung Kyunghee. Because unfortunately it was inscribed on the tree dedicated to her after she died. She was born on 18th August 1962 (so same as Byungchul according to my math). If she gave birth to Hyunsoo in 1990 that means she was 28 then. And she died on 7th May 2014 at the age of 52.

So, summarising my estimated timeline: 1962 - Ko Byungchil and Jung Kyunghee are born. 1970 - Han Jaeho and Ko Byunggap are born. 1982 - Jaeho's parents die. 1982-1987 - Byunggap gets to orphanage. 1990 - Hyunsoo is born. 1997 - Jaeho and Byunggap began working for Ko Byungchul. 2008 - Ko Byungchul moves his business to Busan and takes Byunggap and Jaeho with him. 2013 - Jaeho is sent to prison, Hyunsoo works for the Golden Cranes gang. 2013-2014 - Hyunsoo is sent to prison. 2014 - Hyunsoo's mom is killed. 2017 - Jaeho and Hyunsoo are released and the movie begins.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

If you have different informations or other theories I would love to listen!

Jagi(ya) / 자기(야) — “Honey” or “Baby” or “Darling”. It's easily one of the most well-known terms of endearment in the Korean language.
