Decision to Leave
Detective Jang Hae‑jun must uncover whether a mountain fall was murder or suicide, but his pursuit of the enigmatic widow draws him into a dangerous liaison that threatens to blur the line between justice and obsession.
“The closer you look, the harder you fall.”
Synopsis
A man falls to his death from a mountain peak in South Korea, raising the question of whether he jumped or was pushed. Detective Hae-joon, arriving at the scene, begins to suspect the deceased man's wife, Seo-rae. As he delves further into the investigation, he becomes entangled in a complex web of deception and desire.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
