Distressed after watching it.
The director wakes up the audience with a slap after the extreme foreshadowing of romance and fantasy. The reality is full of lies and cruelty.
Tom represents purity, loyalty, and romance. Extremely beautiful but always just the moon in the water. Husband and Gil are honey made of blood, with a seemingly sweet appearance but a bloody and cruel nature. But even so, the heroine is willing to try to live in reality and keep a little fantasy about the beauty of reality disguised. Perhaps the cruel reality has made the heroine numb. Her poverty, toil, and even servile temper have made her succumb to reality.
But the sudden beauty also broke her original peaceful life and gave her courage
This may be the true meaning of the last smile. The seemingly imperfect ending is just the most perfect. The heroine resisted the cruel reality and still believed in the beauty of fantasy in the safe haven she worked hard to manage. Maybe she will still face reality. , but the difference is that she recognizes the reality clearly and has sustenance in her heart. She understands her own value and how to manage her romance carefully in reality.
