When Mong-ryong returns, Bang-ja must choose. Will he return to the shadows? Will he fight? The final 30 minutes of The Servant are a gut-wrenching whirlwind of violence and poetic justice. The ending is not happy, but it is philosophically perfect.
In most rom-coms, the "good guy" servant would win the girl. The Servant asks: What happens if the "good guy" gets the girl, but then turns into the monster he hated? This film deconstructs the classic hero’s journey. Bang-ja starts as a sympathetic figure, a man who has lived his entire life in the shadows. But as he gains power, we watch a psychological deterioration that is both terrifying and tragically human.
