"Ghosts" is finally over, and I am disappointed. The episode itself and the ending were lacking, but I still enjoyed it. In fact, this is the story of a group of people who have died, and who are about to die, no matter how hilarious it may seem at first glance.

"Goblin" has three propositions, namely life and death, memory, and loneliness.


Beyond the love line of life and death

, there is a small plot that "Ghosts" wants to say, which has been well demonstrated:

a middle-aged man and a woman sitting in front of the messenger of hell. It was a car accident, the man was the perpetrator, and both died on the spot. The woman was of course very angry, and she was still arguing as a ghost; but the man didn't care, even though this was the second time he had caused an accident.

A cup of tea was placed in front of the two of them. The woman was able to forget the past and reincarnated to start over. And what about that man? "Waiting for you is hell, torment forever"... Until this moment, the man who did not repent even in death felt fear.

Just like a kind old man who lives and dies with his own dog to accompany him, the old woman who has been waiting for many years can finally be reunited with his lover who died on the battlefield, and the arrogant rich man is the same as his poor servant in the face of life and death... You see, There are indeed many grievances in this world, even death cannot resolve them. However, death is not the end. The cause of the past life, the effect of the future life, there is always a time for repayment. "Goblin" tells us this all the time.

The same goes for the four main characters.

Before the ghosts disappear, they still do not forget the past masters, the messengers of hell seek answers between life and death, and the fate of the "other omissions" of grace is always with us, the sins of the past life determine the redemption of this life, and with Sincere for life, everyone must follow the path ahead.


The punishment of the messengers of memory

hell is quite meaningful.

They are all people who committed sins in previous lives, throwing away their own or others' lives. Now, instead of paying it back in Avici Hell, he continues to wander around the world like a normal person, but he has no memory. I don't know who the name is, lost all the emotions in the past, it seems easy, but in fact it is the biggest punishment. The eyes staring at the scroll that can't help crying can't penetrate, but will stop every helplessness and torture.

The most cruel thing is love and hate? Farewells? Or life and death? ——These weights are not worth the disappearance and oblivion.

I don't know the value of existence, I don't know the distance I want to pursue, there is no one or anything related to me in this world, there is no waves like death, but it cannot end like death or start a new life.

The same is true of the grief that belongs to the ghosts.

When Eun Joo left with the memory of reincarnation, I was not too sad, because I believed that one day we would meet again. And when the ghost wanders alone in the boundless white snow, not knowing where to go, and being forgotten by everyone he knows, it will be even more sad.

"Remember, remember, his name is Jin Yu.
Tall, he will be sad when he smiles. It
will turn into rain, and it will turn into first snow.
Remember, you must remember, you
are his, bride."

His own existence, and his precious feelings. It may be sad, like the 30 years that the ghosts waited for Eunjo with memories; it may be tortured, for both sunny and the messenger of hell; it may also carry remorse and hatred, and Kim Shin waited for nine hundred Years later, he had the opportunity to question his lord, and he died loyally as he had hoped...

These memories may not be completely happy, but just like happy memories will bring courage to support, all past existences are lingering The proof of the past points to the destination in the distant future. That weight is more precious than anything.


The term loneliness

belongs to ghosts. Finally it was his turn, the most important person.

That Mr. Ghost who has lived for more than 900 years and is so funny is said to be a general.

He has a bit of temperament, born with slightly fluffy curly hair, and a weird sword in his chest. Before his death, he seemed to have a clean sleeve, but after his death, he was rich in wealth. Handing a sandwich to passersby, drinking a little wine on the roof, and looking at the mood as a patron saint, I can't help but soften my heart.

Obviously it should be a cold and sad character, but it is actually naive and arrogant. When you are happy, it will bloom, when you are sad, it will rain, and when you are sad, you will gather clouds and thunder. After being contradicted by the junior, he went back with a "hum". After a few sips of drinking, he fell down. He had a lot of fun arguing with the messenger of hell. Knowing that he was dying soon, his first reaction was to hug his head and run back to the room.

Talking about a relationship is awkward and innocent, saying that you don't want to see it, but obediently waiting to be called, secretly enjoying every closeness. It is easy to be jealous, shy, and quietly write a love letter that is sour to the teeth, gently teasing it, and then it is sweet to the bottom of my heart, obediently offering my first love that has only been in existence for more than 900 years.


Such a ghost, whose name was Kim Yu in his lifetime, was a bloody Korean general.

Suspected by the master of the young country, and the strong enemy pressing the border, he wore a blood-clothed robe and waved his blade forward, guarding every inch of the land without end; he made a heavy promise, personally sent his sister into the palace, and was willing to protect the young king with his life... In exchange The ending is a conspiracy and rebellion. Massacres all over the place, throwing corpses in the wilderness, trying their best but unable to get close to their lord again. All past and existing fights have been erased, becoming a stigma that will not be recorded in history.

The sword that was stained with the blood of the enemy and protected the lord, pierced into his own chest. Although miraculously possessed endless life, it also brought terrible punishment. You can't grow old, you can't die, you can never see someone close to you leave, you can never be free. Powerful, but also a lonely existence in the world, alone, waiting for the final solitude that does not know when it will come. Very sad, isn't it? As powerful as gods, they will disappear into eternity like water, and mere human beings simply cannot bear the weight of time and loneliness.

But it is precisely because of this that the existence of ghosts becomes more valuable.

Open a hotel, open a company, you can try your best to live a happy life for thousands of years; you will still save people when you meet someone who is destined, and you don’t mind making new friends. Even if you laugh with a bit of sadness, you can always laugh and play; Before disappearing, what he said to his lord who lost money was still "the loyal minister died"; when he met the destined girl, he did not forget how to give that warmth and mutual redemption...

Had hatred but still remember how to go Love knows the difficulty of loneliness but is still willing to wait. After experiencing darkness, I still believe in the existence of light. I have been abandoned by life and eroded by loneliness, but I am still willing to give kindness and cherish every splendor of life with all my strength.

Persistent and enthusiastic, kind and pure. How can one not love such a ghost. In the unfinished road ahead, he may have also received the gift of God, and walked hand in hand with grace as a human for the remaining three lives, and obtained the long overdue peace.
