Primary
The film is a procedural crime thriller focused on the mechanics of law enforcement and the pursuit of criminals, without engaging in broader political commentary or promoting specific ideological viewpoints.
The movie features a cast that reflects its South Korean origin without explicit DEI-driven recasting of roles. Its narrative focuses on a crime thriller plot, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of character identities without engaging in explicit critiques of traditional roles or strong DEI themes.
Secondary
