Luke becomes erratic and enraged by Emily’s power over him at work and he hits a boiling point one day at work while she’s in the middle of an important meeting with clients. He wanders into the room and reveals to everyone that he’s sleeping with Emily, accusing her of sexual harassment as she’s his boss.
The couple’s engagement party is later that night and they have a very public breakup in front of their friends and family, which leads to Emily being raped by Luke in the bathroom. When Emily arrives home the next day, Luke has his belongings packed up and reveals that he’s moving to San Francisco. She confronts him and tells him that he should be apologizing for what he did and begging for forgiveness. The scene turns violent when Emily grabs a knife and forces Luke to get on his knees and beg for that forgiveness. She even slices his arm when he doesn’t immediately comply.
After Luke sobs to Emily and begs for the forgiveness, she whispers to him, “Now wipe the blood off my floor, and get out. I’m done with you now.” The movie ends

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Unrecognizable from her co-starring and breakout role in 2018 hit “Burning,” Jeon Jong-seo is the centerpiece, the tortured protagonist and the athletic avenger, but not the titular dancer, in Netflix movie and Busan International Film Festival selection “Ballerina.” In the hands of fast-rising director Lee Chung-hyung, Jeon is a coolly calculating female former bodyguard who, until roused, looks like she is half dazed. The suicide of her best friend, a sweet wannabe ballerina, who had been blackmailed into sex slavery by a nasty gang, however, is enough to set Jeon’s character, Ok-ju, on the path towards “John Wick”-like ultra-violence. While Lee never leaves the audience in much doubt as to where the film is heading – an early scene in a convenience store is cool, shocking and righteous – his “Ballerina” is typically Korean in that it spends most of the first two reels establishing Ok-ju’s moral standing and motivation for the bloodshed that is going to dominate the latter portions. Once justified, Lee pours it all on, with a dose of weapons fetishization, a horde of mostly disposable villains and heaps of neon-lit bloodshed.
