[Analysis] The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful: On foreshadowing & irony

On foreshadowing:

This is a movie laced with foreshadowing. To demonstrate with an example, at the beginning of the movie, we see Tang Ning engaging in a threesome with the Tuan brothers. She is seen touching a necklace hanging from one of the men's neck. The necklace consists of a bullet and a tag. The bullet is a foreshadowing of the wearer's eventual death. Apart from being an efficient tool in conveying the alleged military status of the Tuan brothers, the dog tag also makes an effective symbol of slavery. To the Tang family, the Tuan brothers are like dogs whose lives are lesser.
