    • Trivia
      The events in Seoul Station (2016) take place one day before the events in the live action sequel Train to Busan (2016).
    • Goofs
      When Ki-woong and Hye-sun's father are at the inn they get attacked by the neighbors. During the attack it appears that they both have their shoes on, then while escaping through the toilet's window Ki-woong is bare foot. But Ki-woong is seen briefly shuffling his feet as he enters his apartment, implying his shoes were removed off-screen.

    Satisfying Ending Pulls the Film Together
    This film has been touted as the prequel to Train to Busan. Being a standalone film, however, would not have been successful, because animations, from my understanding, don't do well in Korea.

    Anyway, I thought this animated film is excellent. Animation is good, the voice acting is over the top at times and, as the header states, it has a satisfying ending that pulls the movie together. I was invested with Hye-Sun and her boyfriend throughout their struggles to try and survive the night. If you liked Train to Busan, you'll like this.
