trying to commit suicide is fueled by morally ambivalent characters and

(Korea 2001)
Oak Lee is a compulsive gambler, owing
a ton of money to the loan sharks. One day, he decides to end his life
and goes up an old eight-storey Chinese building. On the rooftop, he is
going to jump off the building. Just before he does, he discovers, not
far from him, a girl (Gogo) standing on the edge of the roof ready to jump
off. She is clearly in a more confused state than he is and out of natural
instincts he leaps forward to save her.
They have both undermined each other's
intentions of suicide and so they just sit on the rooftop. Oak and Gogo
agree that if they had the courage to kill themselves, they should have
the courage to do something bigger. The moment they met each other, they
gained back their "lives." From then on, they will wreak havoc everywhere
they go, as someone who is fearless of death can do…
