In The Murderer, Ha Jeong-woo returns to Korea to settle a debt. And like "The Chaser", Ha is on the run from Kim Yoon-seok, who plays an assassin. It should be noted that Kim Yoon-seok starred in a satire of the "The Chaser" in his last film "Running Turtle" (2009). In the film, shown at the Rotterdam Film Festival two months ago, Kim plays a familiar role, a suspended detective who is chasing a criminal, who, in this case, robbed him.
