The US version is not that bad, right?

I first watched the US version and looked back for the Korean version, which is very strange. After watching it, I feel that the US version is more sadistic. This is the same feeling as the ending of the Korean movie "Unforgivable." If he wants to torture him to death, he will deprive others of the fun. The American version of the BOSS presses the mute and ends the call. The call is concise and clear. I have to spend the rest of my life thinking about this in that room. On the other hand, the Korean version ended with the father’s hypnosis, amnesia, and continued sadomasochism. This is a kind of escape that can only make my sins deeper.
