Mr. Yi chose a remote western restaurant for his date. He said that he chose this place because the food in this restaurant is unpalatable, but fortunately it is secretive enough. He seems cruel, but in fact he is more cautious than anyone else, he is afraid of death.
The lens cuts to the lipstick mark that Jiazhi left on the cup when Jiazhi was drinking. Lee An pays great attention to detail in filming. Every shot is not redundant, it has its deep meaning.
Mr. Yi glanced at the lipstick mark on Jiazhi's cup and said meaningfully to her, "If you pay attention, nothing is trivial." The editor feels that this lipstick mark is red, and red represents desire. For Mr. Yi, Jiazhi is young, beautiful, and very attractive.
On the other hand, the detail of the lipstick also implies that Mr. Yi already knows the identity of Jiazhi at this time. In the upper class society at the time, it was impolite for a woman to leave lipstick on the cup when drinking. If you really leave a mark by accident, you should wipe it off carefully with a handkerchief. But Jiazhi didn't notice it, she didn't know that she had revealed a flaw.
Jiazhi, as an ordinary college student who has not been deeply involved in the world, it is not easy for Jiazhi to act as a mature, beautiful, shrewd and charming lady. In addition, her growth experience from a young age is different from the background and growth experience of a real lady. No matter how superb her acting and how clever her mind is, there will always be flaws in many ordinary small details. Moreover, facing him is Mr. Yi who is careful and always cautious.
At the end of the film, Jiazhi went to the cafe to wait for Mr. Yi, and called Kwong Yumin to tell her plan of action. When drinking coffee, the detail of the lipstick mark is magnified again. Jiazhi never paid attention to this biggest flaw. She didn't know until she died, Mr. Yi already knew her identity.
