Line 22:

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Hyun-seo dies, but her father ends up taking in the orphan boy as his son, and has finally matured}}.

* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Hyun-seo is alive, damn it.

* [[Can You Hear Me Now]]: Hyun-seo's cellphone battery is dying, and, being in the sewer, she has no way to recharge it.

* [[Can You Hear Me Now?]]: Hyun-seo's cellphone battery is dying, and, being in the sewer, she has no way to recharge it.

* [[Character Development]]

* [[Chekhov's Gag]]: When first encountering the creature, Gang-du throws a soda can at it to lure it out. It eats it and the whole crowd joins in and starts throwing food. {{spoiler|A little later, the creature is regurgitating ''dozens'' of human bodies and skeletons it's been eating. The last item to fall out is Gang-du's soda can.}}

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Nam-joo's archery

* [[Daylight Horror]]: Purposefully invoked in the initial attack scene.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Around the beginning, a businessman is jumping off a bridge, and catches a glimpse of the creature just before he jumps.

Line 43:

* [[Mighty Whitey]]: Played with in the initial rampage scene--an American soldier bravely steps up to help people escape the monster and tries to fight it off, but quickly gets chowed down upon. Alas, poor Donald...

* [[One Bullet Left]]: {{spoiler|Subverted when Gang-Du loses track. There are no bullets left.}}

* [[Overly Long Gag]]:

** Gang-du's family mourns the loss of Hyun-seo, and ''won't stop crying!!''

** Also when the creature starts regurgitating all the bodies it's been eating. You wonder how it could hold all that in there.
