There is still a lot of controversy about the final ending of this film.
Everyone knows that Mei Dao doesn't know the truth. The revenge brother finally let the love between Mei Dao and Wu Da Su make a living. After all, they are just like people.
But what was the result of Wu Dasu's hypnosis? Has he forgotten? I think it is not.
Let's take a look. When the female hypnotist hypnotized Wu Dasu in the end, she separated him into Wu Dasu who didn't know the secret, and the monster who kept the secret. The hypnotist told the monster to walk away a few steps and then died. But let Wu Dasu turn around and start a new life.
But in the end, it was Monster who held Meidao instead of Wu Dasu. Because when the two embraced, the camera cut to the chair Wu Dasu was sitting on during hypnosis, and the two were already a certain distance away from the chair. In other words, Wu Dasu was the monster who turned and walked away a few steps.
At this point, everyone should understand what I mean. If the hypnosis is successful and Wu Dasu wakes up, then he should be near the chair. When Wu Dasu woke up, he was already a few steps away from the chair. There was a close-up in the middle that showed Wu Dasu's footprints, which emphasized this detail.
This means that the monster did not die after walking those few steps, but survived forever, but Wu Dasu did not turn around. It is likely that he jumped out of the broken window-he was kneeling in the shed at the time. Time to do that.
Now that this inference is made, let's look at it before and after.
At the end of the hypnosis, the hypnotist said good luck to you. This sentence can be understood as a hypnotist can not guarantee the results of hypnosis, only Wu Dasu's luck, to see which of the two personality Wu Dasu and monster can wake up from hypnosis.
At the end of the film, when Wu Dasu and Mei Dao hugged, Wu Dasu smiled first and then wry smile. This wry smile appeared before, when he knew that after his wife and daughter got down, he decided to kill someone and avenge him. Well, it confirmed my analysis. Wu Dasu failed in hypnosis, and he did not forget. He knew that he had a daughter in his arms.

    After reading it, I feel extremely depressed and weak. People who fall in love with their own sisters die because of their own cowardice and other people's rumors, and then ruin other people's lives. To anger and do more disgusting things, and finally completed all the things and got redemption? I can't be rushed. Any teenager who doesn't have a long tongue when encountering this kind of thing will have a ghost. If you really want to kill it, kill everyone. A few of them are disgusting. I hope all unruly loves do things behind closed doors.

    When Koreans get something a little deep, they tend to do something that seems obscure and straightforward. . . . I'm always a little uncomfortable with this. The male protagonist whine, the female protagonist has the feeling of a Hong Kong movie heroine in the late 1990s.
