"What you should be asking is not why you were imprisoned for 15 years, but why you are being released now."

We have many questions in the first half of the movie, but the most puzzled is who and why should overhaul be imprisoned for 15 years. But I didn't expect this to be the preparations for cruel revenge.

Yujin had an almost perfect revenge, and it would have been even more perfect if he ended up going to the bridge where his sister threw the lake back then.

On the other hand, overhaul, he was unfortunate, but at the same time he was a failure.

Before being imprisoned, he was someone who would get into trouble for drunkenness on his daughter's birthday.

After being imprisoned, none of the goals he set were achieved. His 15-year prison escape plan was finally released because the time of captivity expired; he said that he would go to his wife's grave after everything was over. Bye, did he go later? I was skeptical; he said he was going to eat his captors piece by piece, and he didn't.

The final major repair did not face the truth, but sought the help of a hypnotist and chose to forget. That being the case, why not let the hypnotist clean up his daughter's infidelity with him? What is the purpose of your kneeling and begging you to not let Huizhen open the box?

But I sympathize with Daxiu, he's just an ordinary person, what else can he do. . .

………………

I love the details of the two women in the movie. Huizhen is very lonely, and when she is alone, she will see ants just like the male lead. Sister Youzhen touched Daxiu's head the first time she met him. For a man who wanted to treat her, she loved him like a younger brother.
