Se-hee often asks if you are tired of my appearance, and if I become another woman, will you love me more. Ji Woo felt helpless, tired of Se Hee's often weird and hysterical behavior. Tired of it, maybe he doesn't know it himself.
The reason why people like fixed-frame things, such as photos, stationery full of handwriting, and small objects that do not easily change shape, probably stems from the fear of time. Yes, time will precipitate many things, but not necessarily all of what we want. Time will also subtly change many things, but many are indeed beyond our control. How will love change in time?
The two people in the photo are hugging each other and looking at the camera happily together. The once hot and tender love was frozen in a small two-dimensional space, and time stood still. But time in the real world is still flowing. Everything is changing silently with time. Se-hee is sensitive because she feels that the relationship between her and Ji-woo is gradually being drained by time, and slowly becomes dull, leaving only restlessness and doubt. She blamed it all on her own face and on time, because she felt that Ji Woo had been facing her face for too long, and it was no longer attractive to him, and was tired of it.
The so-called boredom is the result of repeated repetition in time, even if a new face has been seen for a long time, it will no longer feel fresh. People are probably all like the new and hate the old, and have no insatiable curiosity. It's easy to blame time for all bad changes, which is probably just one's own selfish thoughts. But Shixi didn't think of this. She wanted to change all of this to save her relationship with Zhiyu.
It is Sehee's wish to change her face and meet and fall in love with Ji Woo again. But this is not a time reversal, just a time reversal in her own imagination, she will return to the beginning of her encounter with Ji Woo, and feel the love with passion and excitement again. She is still Shixi, although she has changed her name to Sixi. And Ji Woo is still the same Ji Woo.
She is familiar with everything about Zhiyu, and she is sensitive to realize that Zhiyu is still infatuated with the previous Shixi, and she doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. If you change your appearance, your previous identity will no longer exist, probably both Sehee and Jiwoo stubbornly think so. So Shixi began to be heartbroken because he could not complete the realization of his identity transformation, and Zhiyu also rejected this Shixi named Sixi because of this stubbornness. It's a bit of a farce, but it doesn't make people laugh.
Because he wanted revenge, or because he was short-minded, or because Ji Woo thought that only by changing his identity once and becoming another person could save this love, so he also changed his appearance, and then hid it, making the world happy The people on the street frantically found themselves. He didn't snicker, nor did he feel the thrill of revenge, he kept watching Shixi, anxiously expecting Shixi to find him.
Shixi finally met a man who looked a lot like Jiyu. After being gentle, she called Jiyu Jiyu happily, but the man curled his lips and said, "My name is Jinyu, not Jiyu." Shixi collapsed again, jumped up and tore off all the photos of the man on the wall that he had taken secretly, and left without looking back. She forgot to look back, the man named Jin Yu was sitting on the bed, covering his head completely with the sheets, which was something she used to do when she was Shixi.
Perhaps at this time, Se-hee realized the fear and panic when her lover suddenly appeared in front of her with a completely unfamiliar face one day, even though she hadn't found Ji-woo yet, because the one she was familiar with had disappeared. At the end, a man was caught under the wheel, and she cried out Ji-woo's name, but faced a blood-stained, unfamiliar face.
She changed her appearance again for the last time. Her face was no longer just a face. In Shixi, it also carried too many memories of sadness and despair, as well as all her own heavy reality that she could not face. So she has to change. She may feel that after plastic surgery, those attached memories will all disappear.
When she walked out of the plastic surgery hospital, she was bumped by a woman who looked exactly like Shixi in the past. She looked at the woman for a while, and then resolutely walked into the vast sea of people. Perhaps this can be seen as a response to the beginning of the film, the director deliberately created a closed time reincarnation, or the interlacing of human destiny in straight time. If you want to ask the director what kind of fate is given to the girl who looks like Se-hee in addition to the ending, the surnamed Kim may say, if you really want to know, watch the movie again.
