It's not until the end. Anyone who prefers the plot when watching movies and who is indifferent to the complicated details of Rococo will not be able to support it. I almost fell asleep several times, but the director did not disappoint me after all.
When I watched my sister curled up silently and watched how my stepmother abused Xiulian, I was as angry as I had seen in Korean dramas before Helpless and indignant, if the film stops in this place, it will be an ordinary ghost film with exquisite actors and beautiful scenes. Unfortunately, Xiuwei cannot live in her fantasy forever. From the beginning, the sisters returned home happily, to The younger sister was locked in the closet, the stepmother killed Xiulian Xiuwei, and the older sister's initial fantasy that the past would never repeat itself gradually distorted under the constant reminders of the father, and everything still could not be changed. When the "stepmother" at the end watched the visitor gradually widen her eyes, and when Xiulian murmured "Sister, save me" in tears in the closet, she had to be heartbroken.
All my sister's fantasies are to correct the mistakes of that day, to bring her beloved sister back to her, whether her mother is gone, her father is still remarried, even if her stepmother is still at home, as long as her sister returns to her side, This time, I will definitely protect her well, this time I will definitely not make mistakes, and I will always stay by Xiulian's side, a loyal guardian. However, "What's the scariest thing you know? It's when you want to forget something, completely wipe it out of your mind, but you can't, like a hangman, it won't leave you."
Reality Since the moment Xiulian died, it has completely collapsed, and since what has it gradually collapsed? Perhaps it was from the time when the father gave up on the mother and the original family, and became a living in a bad space. The grim face of reality made people more and more reluctant to wake up.
Let's go crazy like this, still begging for death in fantasy, get rid of cruel reality, pretending that my sister is still in my arms, pretending that I will protect Xiulian forever, everything is the same as when the last pillar did not collapse

    I hate the narrative rhythm of Korean movies, no matter how beautiful the picture is, how restrained the expression is. Although the script of this film is very detailed, I like it very much. But about delusions, it seems to have seen too much. This film also failed to show more cleverness than other works, but it perfectly displayed the characteristics of Korean movies.

    If you want to express too much literature and art, the rhythm will be dragged and dragged. The stepmother said that she doesn't want to play this white face. Sure enough, my father came to take the blame, but in the end it was the fault of marrying a second wife.
