What makes Decision to Leave worth watching
Park Chan-wook's Cannes Best Director winner.
Decision to Leave represents a strong example of south korea romance from the 2022 production cycle. Korean studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Romance and Mystery elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Tang Wei, Park Hae-il, Lee Jung-hyun, with strong supporting work from Park Yong-woo. It originally aired on CJ ENM, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
