American values ​​are destined to be incompatible with Eastern thinking

Compared with the Korean version, the younger brother pretends to be possessed by the soul of the elder brother and falls in love with the elder sister. Compared with the Korean version, it is a little less infatuated and tangled, and it is handled more like a suspenseful horror movie. This love that is "merciful and punishable" should be handled more appropriately and tolerantly. Since the American version likes to be adapted in such a commercial way, it is better to subvert it a little bit more thoroughly, and simply wake up the elder brother, but the younger brother is possessed. Movies with similar themes in the United States always seem too rational, lacking humane and realistic considerations. Just like in "First Degree Felony", the heroine immediately becomes fearful, alienated, and hated after discovering that her husband is a murderer. In a Hong Kong movie, it would probably be dealt with as follows: if you want to arrest, an outsider will arrest the husband and bring him to justice. As long as the husband loves his wife, no matter how many bad things he has done in the past, the wife must stand by the husband. Reversely pushing this film, it should also be that the heroine can't face it after discovering the truth, or she has a mental breakdown, or just pretends to the end, this kind of human nature is really chewy.
