I had to take a few days to wrap my head around this movie, and I am still trying to figure everything out. What I do know though is that I loved this movie. It was dark, gory, and had a plot that kept you on your toes trying to figure out what was real and what was a dream.
I didn't so much like the side story with Soo Mi, Hye Jung's aunt, and the female shaman, as I did not get their purpose other than to piece together a story on their end that Hye Jung was trying to figure out on her own. I also didn't like how Hye Jung knew why she was in Wonderland but waited until the very last day to feel motivated enough to go into the 5th room, knowing that she had a key from the very beginning.
It was very simple and I liked how the story gave you all the hints of Hye Jung's missing past, but for some reason, Hye Jung felt like she wanted to be angsty and not question anything that was happening at the inn. But other than my strong dislike for Hye Jung, I felt bad for her and her "curse" due to how her family decided they wanted to deal with the traumatic event that happened when she was younger.
As for the BIG question, everyone is debating about in the comments section about Hye Jung and Hwan's relationship...I have no answer. The thing about this movie was that the writer/director played out scenes, but not completely and fully, where you felt that you were missing some information and it was up to the viewer to connect their own dots. I liked this....but also didn't because I never knew if I was missing important pieces. It did make it a lot more sinister and mysterious and harder to figure out what was real and what was a dream.
My thoughts? I felt like none of it was a dream and it was all real, just scrambled up. But what I do know is that I really enjoyed Hong Jong Hyun playing Hwan. It almost felt like he was a safe zone or an object of comfort in this hellish house....which explains a lot about who he is at the end, which made me love his character so much more. The actress who played Soo Ryun, I applaud you. Amazing acting. Everything one...meh.
