They saw that the film's primary characters - detectives Park Doo-man, Seo Tae-yoon, and Cho Yong-koo - were more facilitators for the commentary on humankind's condition than anything else.

In the end, though, the bulk of Bong’s success with Memories of Murder came from critics, fellow filmmakers, and more hardcore movie maniacs who recognized the film as more than a generic murder mystery. The director’s sophomoric follow-up Memories of Murder saw great reception from critics like Barking Dogs Never Bite before it, and while it wasn’t a massive success at the box office, or anything, it definitely attracted more moviegoers than the director’s debut. He loathes the film, in fact, and perhaps channeled that hatred as inspiration for his next project. And despite its positive reception (from those that actually went to see it), Bong Joon-ho considered it a failure. His debut Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000) garnered great reviews from critics, but it was by no means a financial success. He has a few co-screenwriting credits from that period as well, on top of one as a co-director. After graduating from film school in the mid-1990s, Bong worked as both a cinematographer and a lighting technician on several small-scale productions. This was his second feature film, but even before he directed full-length projects, he was still quite active as a behind-the-scenes creative.
