In addition to the horrible atmosphere that won in the first season, my personal favorite is actually its narrative style.
The second season uses a narrator to tell the story. The first to the fourth episodes are dull and lengthy flat and straightforward. Although they are laid out, they are really boring; the fifth episode began to enter the right track and enter the jump of thoughts. Net-like narrative, the layout of the first four episodes is also suddenly clear; the sixth and seventh episodes continue to use the fifth narrative method to work overtime to explain the main characters clearly while also advancing the story; the eighth episode explains the origin; the ninth episode ends. The love between the female tutor and the gardener replaced the horror, and the ghost story was transformed into a love story. This completes the fact that this ghost story is not horrible at all.
Repeatedly fall into the memory of the past, because there will be no/do not expect a better new future, only memories that may be beautiful or terrifying are left, trapped in it and cannot get out of it, but under the baptism of time, there is not only In the new future, even the last memory of the past will eventually be lost, and even the face will be blurred. What is left is only the bound spirits wandering in the manor. I personally feel that this incident is very sad. It also interacted with the chef's mother who suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
Corresponding to the love between the gardener and the tutor, it is the same as the patient who is proved to be suffering from Alzheimer’s. In fear, they support each other on thin ice and move forward slowly until the tutor becomes the new lady in the lake... Their love has since lost the opportunity to obtain a new future, and only the memories of the past are left. In a future without a future, alone The people left behind are gradually aging and withering under the baptism of the years, and finally turn to the rotten body. Before the memory is washed away, when her face is still visible in her mind, she is in the bathtub every night and night. And the gap in the door left by the washbasin filled with water and persistence, longing to re-encounter the past that has been taken away by time and can no longer come again... This is indeed not a ghost story, but a lost future, and the past will eventually A sad love story that will disappear.
Being able to leave may be the greatest relief for those ghosts/cook old mothers who have no future and lost the past, and other living beings in it.
In addition, the hostess of the manor in the 17th century created the entire ghost manor with one person's obsession. Obsession is a kind of strength, and sometimes it is also a curse of obstruction.
