I think the whole movie is just an imagination of the hero's brain

At the end of the incident, I went back to the part where he was drinking coffee in the first part of the film. After drinking coffee, he punched at the window. I think the whole film is actually a story that he imagined during the interval when he was drinking coffee. Punching at the window reflects his feelings towards himself. The imaginary story is exciting. I think the director wants to express the multi-faceted nature of human character. There is one aspect of external expression, and another aspect of internal expression. Before killing his boss, he said that he had been a dog for the boss for 7 years, but he ended up like this. In fact, he expressed his dissatisfaction with his current situation through an imaginary story. The director used a violent and extroverted method to Express a witty and repressed heart.

Mr. Kang: Let's not make a fuss.
Sun-woo: This is my last place. I have nowhere else to go.
Mr. Kang: Do you really want to take this too far?
Sun-woo: [Ignores his question, rebukes] Why would you do this to me, Mr. Kang?
Mr. Kang: Because you did not follow my orders.
Sun-woo: No, none of that stuff. Tell me the real reason why. Were you really trying to kill me? Do you know how long I have worked for you? Like a dog, I have served you for 7 years! Why? Tell me anything. Anything. Tell me!

Sun-woo: [shoots Mr. Kang through the heart] "We can't turn back time can we?"
