"The film is centered around Buddhist philosophy and the 32nd chapter of the Diamond Sutra. This chapter emphasizes the realization that everything is like a dream, an illusion, and a bubble—a sentiment echoed in the monologue delivered by Monk Hajeong to Lee Seong-min at the film's conclusion.
The number 8 serves as a significant symbol in the movie. When turned on its side, it represents infinity, symbolizing the ""infinite night,"" or hell. At the same time, it also conveys the idea of enlightenment, as Lee Seong-min ultimately chooses enlightenment over revenge on the eighth day.
